As Tomás completes the transaction that will secure his release from Don Domingo's control, he inquires about the possibility of purchasing the freedom of his wife and daughter in time.

Tomás and Lorenza departed, seeking a fresh start for themselves and their daughters. News of Victoria’s survival reached Nicolás, and he instructed Morales to initiate a search for her.

Isabel is facing unforeseen difficulties with her delivery. Meanwhile, Miguel orchestrates a clandestine journey for Victoria, leading her to the town as a deliberate attempt to demonstrate the existence of people of her own race beyond the…

Joaquín attempts to assault Milagros, but she fights back. Morales fabricates a story for Nicolás concerning his encounter with Victoria. The general exacts retribution for the loss of his son.

Tomás arrived at Nicolás's ranch accompanied by Miguel, who attempted to flee upon learning the purpose of their visit. Meanwhile, Victoria reached the convent in Spain.

Victoria sought permission from the mother superior to volunteer in America. Nicolás refused to accept payment for Miguel's release.

As Miguel received care, Tomás pressed Trinidad for answers. Meanwhile, Adela observed a subtle intimacy between Nicolás and Eugenia. Granados, in turn, offered Nicolás a pointed suspicion.

Remedios instructs Victoria in the intricacies of proper conduct, while Adela makes preparations to receive the visiting marquise. Meanwhile, Rosa finds herself increasingly drawn to Miguel.

The marquise is brought before them, questioned about the men who abducted her, and then taken to Eugenia's ranch. Afterward, Rubén is captured and made to pay for his crimes.

During their journey, the marquise inquired about Rosa's family. Eugenia then revealed that the chocolate import business had formed a partnership with Alonso Márquez.

Eugenia's presentation of the processing machine faltered, resulting in the loss of her partnership. Meanwhile, Miguel, burdened by guilt, took the blame for the marquise’s accident and faced consequence.

General Márquez informed the landowners that the government had dispatched the funds intended for compensating the enslaved people upon their eighteenth birthday, at the time of their emancipation.

Miguel and Victoria spent the day in each other's company, charting out the details of their upcoming journey. Back at the ranch, a ripple of surprise spread through the household as Rosa vanished, though Nicolás seemed unfazed by her depar…

Márquez imposed a curfew on the city, a consequence of the simmering racial tensions. Nicolás, Granados, Arturo, Jaime, and López lived with the apprehension of being caught in the city after dark.

The physician examined Victoria and determined she had been poisoned. Miguel and Milagros began searching for an antidote. Nicolás inquired whether the enslaved people had witnessed anything.

As the villagers scan the fields, Isabel and the young man who discovered her are met with kindness in a quiet town. But she is overcome by a sudden illness.

"Why did you imprison a man without a trial?" Alonso asked his father. Victoria spoke to Adela of her desire to assist her with Isabel, then shared her scheme with Remedios.

A disquiet settled over Victoria; Miguel’s absence from the ranch weighed heavily on her. When accusations of murder were leveled against him, she stood as his staunch defender. Nicolás, recognizing the peril, facilitated Miguel's escape.

Arturo tended to his son. Victoria pressed Nicolás for an immediate marriage proposal. Márquez informed Gabriel of his impending employment with Alonso in the cocoa trade.

Nicolás, Alonso, and Gabriel tended to Remedios, still unconscious, while Felipe escorted Miguel to the hacienda. Candela, in turn, began a whisper that the estate was haunted.

Felipe confided in Miguel, recounting the arduous fight against the institution of slavery that consumed him. Meanwhile, Nicolás spent his wedding night with the marquise, though a shadow of discontent seemed to linger around her.

The church served as their meeting place. There, Eugenia learned that Adela harbored a dislike for the marquise and intended to seek an annulment of her marriage to Nicolás.

The news struck Miguel with a chilling certainty: everyone believed him gone. A disquieting anxiety settled within him, fueled by the knowledge that Victoria was now married to Nicolás. Remedios, sensing his distress, implored Victoria to a…

Victoria shared with Tomás and Milagros that she had seen Miguel, and that Nicolás had saved him. Later, Tomás produced a photograph for Victoria – an image of her own parents.

Nicolás issued a veiled threat to Father Octavio, cautioning him against revealing details of the events that transpired at the ranch. Meanwhile, Arturo confided in Jaime his intention to marry Isabel solely for financial gain.

Granados, Caicedo, and Nicolás assured Arturo they would assist him in securing legal counsel for his son, though not without stipulations. Meanwhile, Trinidad facilitated Remedios's escape.

Isabel came to see Gabriel, and they spoke about Jaime López. Afterward, she admitted that he was the man she desired, but Gabriel gently replied that she was too good for him.

A tremor of unease always accompanied Remedios when Trinidad was near. During the hearing, Attorney Restrepo questioned Isaías, who seemed paralyzed by fear and reluctant to speak. Jaime seized the opportunity.

Nicolás arrived at the ranch with Miguel and commanded him to perform the labor of the fields as the other enslaved men did. Ángela suggested organizing a contribution from the community.

Adela rebukes Isabel for her defense of Victoria, then restricts her to the confines of her room. Meanwhile, Nicolás and Granados negotiate a resolution with the judge concerning Jaime's sentence.

Felipe instructed Márquez and Alonso to uphold the law, which granted a slave the right to purchase his own liberty. Meanwhile, Nicolás meted out punishment to Miguel and confined Victoria and Isabel.

"I'm afraid I can't help you with that," Milagros said to Victoria. Eugenia acquired textiles from the most recent ship to arrive from Europe. Ángela spoke with Felipe.

Felipe and Catalina aided Ángela and several enslaved people in their escape. Milagros facilitated a meeting between Victoria and Miguel. Markings appeared on the houses of the landowners.

Granados arrived at Felipe Restrepo's residence bearing a search warrant, accompanied by armed men led by Márquez. When Isaías was apprehended, Catalina stepped forward to defend him.

Caicedo and Granados report that Miguel is at the forefront of the revolution. In the darkness, Catalina is the victim of an attack. Meanwhile, Eugenia shares a private moment with Nicolás.

The news of Catalina and Isaías reached Felipe, and with it, the firm resolve of Márquez and Alonso. They made it clear: those accountable would not escape justice.

Despite Manuela's disapproval, Gabriel and Jesús intend to permit the slave gathering at their home. Meanwhile, Trinidad asserts that people of different races should not associate.

The news of Granados’s deed – the killing of the freedmen, Miguel and others – ignited a furious pursuit. Miguel and the other slaves gave chase. Meanwhile, Nicolás learned the content of the hushed conversation among the Black people durin…

Miguel conceded that Victoria was the true mistress of the Marquise, Edén. Meanwhile, Nicolás resolved to sell a number of slaves, among them Hilaria, in order to bolster his financial standing.

At the graveside, Ángela offers a few words of remembrance. As Victoria descends into the pit, a sudden collapse seals her within the tunnel.

In the tunnel's dimness, Miguel discovered Victoria. Granados donned the uniform, the familiar fabric a sharp reminder of his past; he recalled the indignity of being treated as property, and then departed.

Abdul and Ayotunde, an African woman known for her gift of prophecy, were introduced. Just then, Granados arrived at Felipe's residence, intending to seize his wife by force.

Nicolás found Eugenia's house filled with a peculiar tension. Victoria met him there, her demeanor a strange mix of wounded pride and a desperate fragility that hinted at self-destruction.

Nicolás altered the cocoa transport route, placing Victoria in jeopardy. Without timely warning, Eugenia’s escape plan risked being compromised.

A band of brigands attacked Nicolás, seizing his wagon and its contents. They also abducted Isabel. The child recounted that a woman commanded the raiders.

Victoria intends to engage Ayotunde for the celebration. Just as she is on the verge of locating her, Abdul arrives. Nicolás then accuses Eugenia of theft.

Bume recounts to Victoria the manner in which Nicolás coerced Eugenia into submission, employing threats of death. Meanwhile, Morales confesses to Nicolás that he never took a life, not even that of the fair-haired child.

Tomás alone possessed the skill to work with explosives, and so volunteered to enter the tunnel, clearing a path to guide their escape from Edén.

Victoria addressed Ayotunde, and in that moment, a startling recognition dawned. She understood, with a sudden clarity, that Ayotunde was her mother. Yet, the woman who had offered her cryptic pronouncements seemed to possess no memory of t…

Victoria gently reminds Ayotunde of her true identity as Lorenza. Isabelita, in a terrible moment, witnesses her father commit a violent act. Meanwhile, Milagros confides in Julián that she is carrying a child.

Isabel confronted her father, declaring her knowledge of his deceit, his fraudulent schemes, and his capacity for murder. In response, Nicolás resolved to commit her to a psychiatric institution.

Miguel stood as Isabel's champion, turning his attention toward Trinidad with resolute defiance. Morales fired upon Nicolás, leaving him teetering precariously close to death.

Morales's confession regarding Nicolás Parreño ignited a furious rage within Victoria. Overwhelmed by a sudden, violent impulse, she attempted to take her own life.

Eugenia is deeply distraught, pleading for absolution for her role in Bume's enslavement. Meanwhile, Miguel, Siervo, and Tomás make preparations for their flight.

From the tunnel's mouth emerged the slaves, and Granados waited, anticipating Miguel's arrival, his resolve hardening with each passing moment. Meanwhile, Paca, her face etched with anguish, met Felipe and Ana, bearing tidings of terrible i…

Victoria resolved to return to Edén, driven by the need to save her father. Meanwhile, Manuela located her brother. And Nicolás made a solemn vow: he would ensure Tomás faced consequences.

"You must go with Victoria," Tomás urged Milagros, his voice low and earnest. "For the sake of the child you carry, you must relinquish this path of vengeance. Only then can they be truly free."

Nicolás encountered the actual Marquise of Bracamonte and discovered a truth: his wife, Victoria Quintero, had journeyed to America for the sake of her family and Miguel.

Nicolás manipulates Victoria into declaring her love for him. He obtains a drink from his mother with the intent to murder his wife, yet he desires her to witness Miguel's demise.

A wave of sickness sweeps through the countryside, the farms deserted and the villagers afflicted. Amidst this turmoil, Nicolás seeks to eliminate Márquez, who in turn bestows upon him the authority of governor.

With the appointment of Nicolás as governor of Santa Marta, he pledged to address the concerns of the enslaved rebels. Meanwhile, Tomás encountered Lorenza once more. And in a bold declaration, Miguel insisted upon the complete abolition of…

Father Octavio confided in Tomás and Lorenza, revealing a secret from Victoria’s past: he had rescued her in her youth. Following this revelation, Victoria assumed control of the hacienda.
