In a bid to snap him out of his befogged state, his overbearing stepmother, Catherina Ortega decides to impose a beautiful young woman, Estelle Castor, on him, in his hopes that they would hit things off and eventually marry, so Gabriel will assume his father's fortune, as was stipulated in the will. Catherine’s intentions are not as pure as they seem. She intends to use Estelle as a pawn to covet Gabriel's inheritance and keep it for her and her complacent son Jonas Ortega, while still leaving a cut for Estelle.

With the baby in view, Gabriel is forced to do the right thing and wed Estelle, while still harboring strong emotions for Mary who increasingly gets maltreated by his stepmother...
