Eduardo Hidalgo (Tirso Cruz III), a wealthy landowner based in Salvacion, Negros Island, has a relationship with one of his plantation workers, Elena Severino (Cherry Pie Picache). However, when Maximo Salazar (Ronaldo Valdez), the butler in the hacienda of the Hidalgo's, learns that Elena is pregnant he manipulates a robbery in which Elena is unjustly implicated, causing her to be imprisoned only to be released on the condition she leaves Salvacion. Eduardo marries Maximo's daughter named Miranda (Cherie Gil), not knowing Elena is pregnant with his son. Elena and Miranda give birth to their respective children named Samuel and Franco, with the latter not being Eduardo's son but that of a beauty contest judge. Luis (William Lorenzo) assumes the role of a father to Samuel but dies later on. With a heavy heart, however, Elena and her family are forced to return to Salvacion in the years that follow.
