Plot

Lázaro Venturini, majority shareholder of Venturini Designers, is forced to live with Ricardo Miranda, who holds 30% stake in the company and represents the adultery of his late wife, Maria Helena. Ricardo holds a secret affair with Isadora Venturini, the widow of Claudius, son of Lázaro, and hated by the patriarch. But both Ricardo and Isadora are victims of hatred of others.
Ricardo was responsible for the ruin of Philip. His daughter, Patricia, plans revenge and becomes involved with Ricardo, even though much younger than he and a friend of his troubled daughter, Jessica.
Isadora joins socialite Mimi Toledo and her manicure, Berenice. Mimi Toledo was in love with the late husband of Isadora. Berenice wants to avenge her daughter's, Fernanda, humiliation imposed by Isadora, who did not accept the girl as his girlfriend's son, Marco Antônio. This puts Doca's revenge on the scene. Doca's a poor boy who, by Mimi Toledo, infiltrates high society as Eduardo Costabrava, and is madly in love with the daughter of Isadora, Victoria.
