Plot
Soledad Somellera, an Argentine maid, secretly marries the son of her employers, Roberto Covarrubias. However, Roberto abandons her soon after to marry a wealthy woman, revealing to Soledad that their wedding was staged and thus not valid. Soledad runs away, pregnant with Roberto's child, although soon after, Roberto's mother locates her and convinces him to give up her daughter so that she can grow up without suffering hardships. Soledad becomes a famous singer, adopting the stage name of Cristina Palermo, while her daughter, Evangelina, grows into a spoiled brat who, when she has the opportunity to meet Palermo, treats her with contempt, ignoring that she is his mother.Cast
