J.C. and Paulina kiss and J.C. tells her that she cannot deny that she responds. ‘But we hardly know each other,’ she says, ‘you don’t know anything about me and I don’t know anything about you.’ J.C. says that doesn’t matter and anyway he doesn’t want to talk about his family. It’s too painful. His father is cruel to his mother and she suffers a lot.

Paulina says that she has family problems too. Her mother died in an accident when she was very young.

G. knows how much Regina has suffered from D. treatment of her. G. and Regina’s relationship was long ago before she met D. D. says he doesn’t believe it and believes that J.C. is the proof. D. believes that J.C. is not his son. G. is impactado.

Meanwhile J.C. and Paulina are kissing passionately. [We know what Damien said is not true because otherwise J.C. would be kissing his half sister instead of his first cousin.] When things get hot and heavy, Paulina says they should wait. J.C. agrees. He doesn’t need proof of her feelings for him. Besides, she says it would be her first time.

Back at the confrontation between the brothers, G. says that he was never intimate with Regina and J.C. is D.’s son. The conversation immediately degenerate into D.’s grudge about being raised in poverty by his mother while G. had every luxury. D. says that it is his mother’s fault that he is crippled. G. says that on the contrary, it was D. fault. He was a thief running from the police when his leg got run over by a train. D. lost his eye because of an infection that his mother drank up the money that would have paid for treatment. G. asks how all this is his fault? He reminds D. that he shared the fortune he inherited with D. and taught him the construction business. Now D. is taking all G.’s best clients and leaving him with debts. Finally, after all this stuff about the past, D. gets to the point of his visit. He has signed the deal to get the property G. wanted. G. should not compete with him.
