Clara Inés (Flavia Gleske) is a young girl who was raised by nuns in a convent in the countryside. One day, a priest tells her that she is part of the wealthy Santamarina family and decides to go to the capital city Caracas to discover more about her origins. Along the way, she meets Raul Velandró (Ricardo Álamo), a member of the family who discovers that she is part of his family and decides to help her. But Clara Inés is not aware of the danger that awaits her on reconnecting with her family. She will be thrown into a world filled with ambition, power and money. Her aunt Pastora Lara Portillo (Fedra López) will become her worst enemy. Twenty years ago, she unsuccessfully orchestrated the death of Clara Inés and now wants to take absolute control of the Santamarina fortune currently held by her husband Israel Huatulco (Eduardo Serrano) for her son Edilio (Nacho Huett).

Clara Inés will become target of many attacks. However, she will later on gain self-confidence and return to fulfill her mission of revenge. In her soul, the seed of contempt which were sown will blossom as its greatest strength of vengeance to repay all the damage they caused.
