Synopsis[]
Simona is a happy and fun young woman; sure of herself and what she wants. She is a teenager who had to overcome difficulties since she was very young: she had to learn to grow without her parents.
As soon as she learned that she was pregnant, Marilina, Simona's biological mother, loved her daughter with all her soul. She always vowed to protect her from all evil. But fate would have given her an alternative path, a dark and unpleasant one. Marilina is involved in a confusing and violent episode and she ends up imprisoned, away from her beloved daughter.
Thus, little Simona is placed to an orphanage, in the almost exclusive care of Rosa, one of the maids working the night shift. The bond that is generated between both is so strong that, shortly after, Rosa decides to ask for the legal custody of the girl.
Simona grows happy and loved by her adoptive mother, without needing to delve into her past. She will not hesitate to replace Rosa as a domestic employee in the house of the Guerrico when she must leave the position because of health problems. In the large family home, she is placed under the command of Diego, a renowned specialist in trauma cases, owner of the house. In addition, under that same roof she will reunite with Romeo, the eldest of the three nephews of her newboss, whom she has known since childhood. That closeness will go, little by little, awakening the love between both young people.
On the other hand, that destiny that was imperfect for Marilina, is suddenly reversed; she gets out of jail and, as a first step, seeks to insert herself back into the working world. Thanks to her outstanding background as a physiotherapist, she soon gets a job at the Guerrico trauma clinic. There she will meet Diego, whom she will fall madly in love with, even more when she finds out that he has become a great reference for her daughter.
However, the road to the longed happiness will present new obstacles: Siena, the Diego's girlfriend, will do the impossible so that this relationship does not prosper.
