Amapola reproaches Leonel for clinging to a loveless marriage with a woman he barely knows and warns him that Alba stands above all his traitors.

Alba rises to Leonel's challenge and is willing to play the role of his wife during the event organized at the hacienda, even going so far as to surprise him with a kiss in front of all the guests.

Covadonga promises Alba that the end of her torment is near, as Leonel's enemies are already on the move to free her from her hell.
