Synopsis[]
In 1999, in the interior of Espírito Santo, the families of vigilantes Ramirez and Matheus lived in war for generations until Maria da Paz and Amadeu fell in love and sealed a peace agreement between them. On their wedding day, however, Amadeu is shot by the bride's grandmother and the war is resumed, causing Maria to flee to São Paulo without knowing she is pregnant. The family matriarchs make a deal and lie to the couple that the other one is dead. However, out of spite and with revenge in his mind, Amadeu's father orders Maria's two nieces to be murdered. Both are miraculously saved: Fabiana ends up in a convent and Virginia lives on the streets until she is adopted by the rich couple, Beatriz and Otávio.
Twenty years later, Maria became a wealthy woman who owns a confectionery network thanks to family recipes. She never gets along with her daughter, bad-tempered Josiane, who is ashamed of her mother's tacky and unsophisticated ways. Maria da Paz soon reunites with Amadeu and discovers the lie that separated them, however they are prevented from resuming the romance when his wife Gilda becomes seriously ill.
Heartbroken, Maria marries the gallant Régis, unaware that he and her daughter are plotting against her to steal her entire fortune. However, he truly falls in love with Maria over time and begins to dispute her with Amadeu. He tries to show that he is regenerated when Josiane reveals the ruse and leaves her mother penniless.
Meanwhile Maria's nieces have taken a different turn: Vivi became famous on the Internet for her charisma - being everything Josiane has ever dreamed - and lives an overwhelming romance with Chiclete without knowing that he is a payed assassin. Fabiana has spent a poor life in the convent and, upon discovering that Vivi is her sister, decides to infiltrate her life to ruin her under the face of a naive girl, nourished by hatred of the distinct life opportunities they had. In addition, the former nun also threatens Octavio and Josiane by discovering their secrets.
