From the very first day Babarita sets foot into the Thompson mansion, her fate changed drastically because there, she'll find love, not once, but twice... and there she'll endure the most difficult moment of her life.
Babarita Ruiz is a sweet and modest young woman who works as a seamstress at a renowned fashion boutique in Miami. When she is asked to do a fitting for the well-known widow Ricarda Thompson, Barbarita has no clue that she will be the beginning of a tortuous relationship between her and this millionaire family.
At the estate she meets Valentino's Ricarda's eldest son. Single, spoiled and accustomed to always getting his own way, Valentino decides to seduce the beautiful Barbarita, who soon succumbs to his charms. However for the first time in his life, Valentino feels more than a physical attraction towards Barbarita and discovers that he has fallen in love for real. Going against the wishes of his arrogant mother, who considers the poor seamstress as beneath her son in every way, Valetino and Babarita are married in a quiet intimate ceremony.
However, happiness disappears as quickly as it came for Barbarita. On their wedding night when the couple set off on their honeymoon trip, they had a terrible car accident that took Valentino's life but leaving Barbarita virtually unharmed.
This twist of fate is something that Recarda Thompson will never forget. Full of hate and pain, blaming Barbarita for Velentino's death, she convinces her younger son Antonio Adolfo, to avenge Valentino's death by playing a cruel trick on Barbarita: he is to court her, seduce and abandon her, leaving the young woman totally humiliated. That's how love enters Barbarita's life once again, bearing the Thompson name. Antonio Adolfo follows his mother's plan to the letter, but along the way he realizes something totally unexpected: Barbarita's kindness, tenderness and beauty won his heart, and he is love just as his brother had been. Now he too decides to defy his mother and make Barbarita his wife.
It seems that Barbarita will finally be happy ...until she is faced with an even greater obstacle than Richarda's rage: Valentino himself who has faked his death in order to avoid being exposed for embezzlement of the family's company funds, and now returns to claim his woman and his fortune.
Certainly, The Woman of my Life; but at what expense. |
