After a year-long time jump in La Promessa, the entire estate is rocked by a revelation no one saw coming: Jana, believed to be dead, returns—alive, transformed, and with a child in her arms. Not just any child, but her son with Manuel, a symbol of love, survival, and vengeance.

The drama ignites as Catalina and Adriano, now married, prepare to leave the estate behind in search of a quieter life. But Catalina senses an ominous energy lingering. Cruz is back, colder and more dangerous than ever, and she’s embroiled in a poisonous rivalry with Leocadia over Alonso’s affections. Leocadia, armed with secrets collected during Cruz’s absence, begins to twist the knife, reminding Alonso of every betrayal Cruz has inflicted over the years.

Tensions surge. Cruz begins weaving a web of sabotage from the shadows—anonymous letters, secret meetings, pressure on Pia. But Leocadia fights back with devastating precision, threatening to unveil a wartime scandal that could shatter Cruz’s reputation forever. The fight isn’t just for power—it’s for survival in a household teetering on collapse.

And then comes the moment no one expects: Jana’s return. The doors of La Promessa swing open to reveal her standing tall, a mother, a warrior, no longer the fragile girl they once knew. Her reappearance stops Manuel in his tracks. As their eyes meet, the world around them disappears. He kneels before her, unable to comprehend that the woman he mourned is alive—and holding his son.

“I faked my death to protect you,” Jana confesses through tears. “They would have killed you too.” Her words unravel a conspiracy years in the making. The child is not just hers—he is a key, a witness, a threat to those who tried to silence her. Some welcome her return with open arms, but others, frozen with fear, see their secrets at risk of exposure.

Meanwhile, Catalina’s farewell from the estate is anything but peaceful. Her decision to leave sparks fury in Alonso, who accuses her of throwing away her birthright. But Catalina stands her ground: “I’m not running. I’m choosing myself.” As father and daughter exchange one final, painful conversation, a servant bursts in—Leocadia has collapsed, clutching a mysterious letter. Catalina recognizes it immediately. It’s one of Cruz’s old letters, never meant to see daylight. Her departure suddenly seems less certain.

Elsewhere, new faces stir old suspicions. A reserved new butler named Aurico, with no recorded past, appears to be watching everyone—especially Cruz. In the kitchens, the spirited Sebastiana discovers a cryptic letter from a vanished servant hinting at a midnight pact and a secret return. Even Eugenia, seemingly healed, begins hearing whispers in the night. Is she losing her mind—or is someone trying to drive her there?

Back in the heart of the palace, Cruz and Leocadia’s war escalates. A single flower—once worn by Leocadia—is found in Cruz’s room. It’s a declaration of war. Cruz’s rage explodes, smashing vases and vowing to destroy her rival. But Leocadia has already struck first—reclaiming Alonso’s love. Over a tense dinner, Alonso announces his decision: he’s divorcing Cruz. The room freezes. Cruz, humiliated and furious, storms out. Her threats hang heavy in the air. “This is not over.”

Jana’s return throws another twist into Manuel’s plans. He had just received a job offer in Saragozza—his dreams of working in aviation finally within reach. But a chilling anonymous letter arrives: “Not everyone wants to see you fly.” Someone is watching, someone who resents his escape. A shadow from within the estate warns: danger still lingers.

And Catalina? Just as she prepares to leave, a messenger from Pisa arrives, claiming to know the truth about Adriano. Her dreams of a simple life falter. Can she trust the man she loves, or is she walking into a new trap?

In the library, Alonso stares at a sealed file left for Catalina—documents tied to a past even he never dared reveal. As Catalina confronts her father, a letter sealed with Cruz’s insignia is delivered to her. She hesitates to open it, feeling deep inside that its contents could change everything.

Outside the room, Cruz smiles, thinking she’s finally purged the estate of Catalina and her children. But danger circles closer than she realizes. Aurico is watching. Pia finds a warning note. And Leocadia, with a cruel smirk, walks the halls like a queen reclaiming her throne.

But Cruz isn’t finished. In her chamber, she opens a secret drawer, pulling out a velvet box of blackmail material, old letters, photographs, and a notebook with Leocadia’s initial. “You want to play dirty?” Cruz whispers. “Let the games begin.”

That night, as the family dines in icy silence, Leocadia walks in with a flower in her hair—the same kind left in Cruz’s room. The message is clear: the war is on.

No one is safe in La Promessa. Not anymore.
