But because Alejandro's wife is sterile, he will use the innocence of country girl Leonora to obtain a child, instead of adopting one.Catalina will go to great and obscure lengths to make sure her future and the legacy of her bloodline are secure, and will not have compassion for anyone standing in her way.
