One night after a dance rehearsal, they all go to a bar, where Aurora meets the love of her life, Lorenzo Lobos, a dance instructor and single father. Aurora and Lorenzo begin a romance and fall madly in love.

Aurora keeps Lorenzo secret from her parents as she knows they wouldn't approve of her being with someone below her social class and doesn't tell Lorenzo she is wealthy because the mother of his son left them to be with a wealthy man. On the day of her twentieth birthday, Aurora decides to announce to everybody her love for Lorenzo at her birthday party. Lorenzo is invited to the party by Vanessa, who is secretly in love with him. Vanessa arranges it so Lorenzo sees a forced kiss between Aurora and Federico Álvarez de Toledo. Lorenzo misinterprets the kiss and breaks up with a devastated Aurora. Shortly after it is discovered that Aurora is pregnant with Lorenzo's baby. Her father refuses to tell Lorenzo about the pregnancy and sends her as far away from him as possible. A few months pass and Aurora tries to run away and return to Lorenzo, but she falls and goes into labor. She gives birth to a girl, who she names Blanca. Aurora becomes very ill and on her deathbed, calls Lorenzo, and says to him with her dying breath, "I will always love you." Gustavo decides to freeze Aurora in a cryogenic capsule.

Twenty years later, Gustavo discovers a cure for Aurora and wants to reanimate her. However, the medical board in his clinic votes against reanimation. Gustavo goes against the board's decision and brings Aurora back to life. The capsule had stopped her from aging, so Aurora still looks twenty years old. Lorenzo's son, Martín, sees Aurora sleeping and instantly falls in love with her. When she wakes up, she meets Martín and believes he is Lorenzo since he looks exactly like Lorenzo did twenty years ago. She is later shocked to learn he is Lorenzo's son. Aurora escapes the clinic with the help of her chauffeur, Roque, to find her true love. She sees Lorenzo through a window and is overwhelmed with emotion, but she is heartbroken when she finds out he is now married to her childhood best friend, Natalia.

When Lorenzo and Aurora finally come face to face, she runs off and he loses her. Lorenzo is told by Martín that she is not the Aurora he fell in love with twenty years ago but actually Aurora's long-lost daughter also named Aurora. Lorenzo asks Aurora if she is his daughter and she tells him she is not. Her former fiancee, Federico, agrees to pretend to be Aurora's father. From then on she is known as Aurora Álvarez de Toledo. Aurora manages to seduce Lorenzo, but as they are about to make love she becomes ill and nearly dies.

Things are further complicated for Aurora when she notices Blanca is attracted to her half-brother, Martín. When she questions Martín about his relationship with Blanca, he tells her they are just friends and that he wants to be with her. Blanca is kidnapped and Aurora goes to save her. With the help of Lorenzo and Martín, she is able to rescue Blanca, but they are all nearly killed. Aurora is horrified when she witnesses a kiss between Blanca and Martín. Aurora realizes she has to tell Blanca the truth about her paternity. Aurora tells Blanca that Martín is her brother. Blanca does not understand how this could be possible, but Aurora explains that Lorenzo is her father. When Blanca asks who her mother is, Aurora lies and tells her it's Inés.

Aurora is continually pursued by Martín. She turns him down, but she is also growing increasingly attracted to him. Gustavo is given permission to reanimate Aurora, but this proves to be a problem because he already did. Therefore, Gustavo and the other doctors at the clinic reenact a reanimation with Aurora, who now has to pretend to be two people, her true self and her daughter.

Unknowingly, Aurora is being hypnotized and manipulated by her stepmother, Elizabeth, into starting a relationship with Martín as Aurora's daughter. She also has a relationship with Lorenzo as her true self. Aurora becomes increasingly confused about who she really is and starts to believe she is the daughter she made up. She breaks up with Lorenzo because she believes she is in love with Martín.

Eventually she discovers Elizabeth's manipulations and that Vanessa is responsible for all the events that happened before her "death." Aurora confesses to everyone that there is only one Aurora, but she cannot bring herself to tell Martín. Instead, Lorenzo tells Martín that his Aurora, "Aurorita," died and he is devastated. Martin is told the truth by Vanessa and tells Aurora he wants nothing to do with her. Lorenzo and Aurora decide to live together with Blanca so they can be family, but decide it's best not to have a relationship since they don't want to hurt Martín.

One year later, Aurora and Lorenzo still maintain a platonic relationship. Aurora finds an abandoned baby named Tommy. Lorenzo and Aurora pretend to be engaged so they can adopt the baby, though it is clear they both wish it were real. Aurora desperately wants to be happy with the love of her life, but does not want to come in between father and son, or at least till she is truly forgiven by Martín and by herself.

Aurora and Lorenzo finally reunite. They decide to get married to the delight of their family. However, their wedding is interrupted by Federico who announces Martín is dying. Everybody rushes to Martín. After some harsh words from Federico, Aurora runs off with Tommy and her dog, Lucero. She is taken in by a woman named Pilar and her two children, Daniela and Beto. Daniela calls Aurora's apartment and is wrongly informed that they are preparing for Martín's funeral. Aurora is devastated and breaks down.

Catalina Perez-Quintana, Martín's boss, shows Aurora footage of Martín confessing that he still loves her. Once Aurora is reunited with her family, she tells Lorenzo she feels responsible for all the bad that things have happened and ends her relationship with him. Aurora begs Martín to forgive her, but he refuses and tells her to reunite with his father.

Aurora finds out she is ill due to the effects from the cryogenics, but she decides not tell anyone. Aurora and Lorenzo go on a romantic trip together and agree to split up for good when they come home. Lorenzo changes his mind and wants to get back together. Aurora realizes she should enjoy the rest of her life and reunites with Lorenzo. Daniela, who is Tommy's nanny, tells Aurora's family about her illness and they all promise to stick by her.

He is told a lie that she is Aurora's long-lost daughter who is also named Aurora. When he informs his father about Aurora's "daughter," Lorenzo reveals that she could be his daughter and therefore Martín's sister. Martín is relieved when it is confirmed that Aurora is not his sister.

Martín wants to be with Aurora, but she wants to be with Lorenzo, which causes major conflict between father and son. One night, while out partying, Martín has sex with a masked stripper, who turns out to be his adopted sister, Nina, who is in love with him. Nina is happy but Martín is disgusted and does not want anyone to find out.

Martín becomes close to Blanca Ponce De León, who he is unaware is his half-sister. Blanca is romantically interested in him, but he only thinks of her as a friend. When Blanca is kidnapped, Martín, Lorenzo, and Aurora manage to rescue her, though they are all nearly killed themselves. Blanca kisses Martín to thank him, which is witnessed by Aurora. So they don't commit incest, Aurora tells Blanca that Martín is her brother.

Nina drunkenly tells Lorenzo about her one night stand with Martín, which prompts Lorenzo to throw Martín out the house. Martín tells Lorenzo that he wants him to leave Aurora alone so he can be with her, but Lorenzo tells him he can't because he has fallen in love with her. Martín is relieved when Lorenzo decides to start a new life in Spain with Natalia and Cesar. However, their plane crashes and they are believed to be dead, leaving Martín devastated. Blanca finally tells Martín that they are siblings and they mourn together. Luckily, his parents and Cesar never boarded the plane and the family is reunited.

Tired of being jerked around by Aurora, Martín decides to move on. He starts seeing his friend and co-worker, Dr Liliana Rosales. To prove that Lorenzo is Blanca's father, she and Martín take a DNA test. Martín starts to pursue Aurora again, but she repeatedly turns him down, but at the same time she is also becoming increasingly attracted to him. The DNA test proves that Martín and Blanca are siblings. Martín is happy to have another sister and Blanca encourages him and Aurora to be together. Unknown to Martín and Lorenzo, Aurora takes on two identities, her true self, Aurora Ponce De León, and the daughter she supposedly had with Federico Alvarez de Toledo, Aurora Alvarez de Toledo. Aurora and Martín begin a relationship. Neither do they know that Aurora has been manipulated by her evil stepmother, Elizabeth, into starting a relationship with him.

Aurora shifts between her two identities and has relationships with Martín and Lorenzo. Martín becomes close to Lorenzo's Aurora and tries to help her adjust to twentieth century life.

Martín is blissfully happy with his Aurora and they make plans for their future. However, Aurora starts acting strange. Martín starts to figure out that something is wrong when he kisses Lorenzo's Aurora and realizes it is not the first time they have kissed. During all this, Martín's biological mother, Veronica, returns to his life. She is on the run from a gangster named Francisco Perez and needs help. Eventually, all of Martín's family is put in danger. Cesar ends up killing Perez in self-defense.

After discovering what Elizabeth has been doing to her, Aurora confesses to everyone that there is only one Aurora, but she cannot bring herself to tell Martín. Lorenzo tells Martín that his Aurora, "Aurorita," died and he is devastated.

Cesar is seemingly murdered by Perez's widow, Catalina Perez-Quintana. At his funeral, Vanessa Miller tells Martín that there has only ever been one Aurora. Martín is heartbroken that he was lied to by the people he loves the most and declares he hates Aurora. Martín decides he needs some space from his family to clear his head.

One year later, Martín is still heartbroken over Aurora and has barely had any contact with his family. He has changed his appearance and has turned into a bitter, angry man. To ease his pain, he has been having a casual relationship with a woman named Diana del Valle. Diana is in love with him and wants a real relationship, but Martín is only interested in the physical part. Martín has devoted most of his time to finding a cure for Vicky Hutton, who was frozen after being poisoned by Elizabeth. It is revealed that Cesar is actually alive and Martín had made an agreement with Catalina, who is Vicky's grandmother, that he would cure Vicky in exchange for Cesar's safety.

Martín and Aurora have a chance encounter at a church. Martín lies that he does not love her anymore and tells her that he can't forgive her, but he wants her and Lorenzo to be together so his beloved father can finally be happy with the woman he waited twenty years to be with. Aurora tells Martín that she cannot be happy unless he is happy but he tells her not to worry about him.

Martín gets his wish and Aurora and Lorenzo finally reunite. Through Catalina, Martín meets Perez's brother, Saverio, and Saverio's daughter, Ingrid. Ingrid is immediately attracted to Martín, but he turns her down. Ingrid agrees to leave Martin alone for good if he sleeps with her just one time, he happily agrees. When Cesar is held hostage by Saverio, Ingrid agrees to pretend to be in love with Cesar to make sure he is released safely. Ingrid comes to see Martín shortly after everything is resolved and tells him he is a lost cause when it comes to love.

Martín finds a cure for Vicky. To prove it works, Catalina tells Martín to poison himself and then take the remedy. Indifferent to the possibility he may die, Martín agrees. It appears the remedy is not working and Martín starts having convulsions and calling out Aurora's name. Federico interrupts Lorenzo and Aurora's wedding and announces that Martín is dying. Eventually the remedy does work and Martín recovers.

Catalina makes Aurora believe that Martín really is dead. A furious Martín confronts her and she pushes him into admitting that he is still in love with Aurora and that once Vicky is better, he plans on leaving and never coming back. Catalina records this conversation and shows it to Aurora, who ends her relationship with Lorenzo out of guilt. When Aurora begs Martín to forgive her, he tells her that he doesn't want anything from her and to get back together with his father.

Martín manages to revive Vicky. When Vicky wakes up, she has no memory and instantly falls in love with Martín. She repeatedly tries to seduce him but he makes it clear he wants only wants a doctor-patient relationship. Tragedy strikes when Veronica is poisoned by Elizabeth. On her deathbed she reveals a shocking secret to Martín: Lorenzo isn't his father. She had a brief affair with Lorenzo's identical twin brother, Sebastian, who is Martín's biological father. Martín is later shocked to discover that Lorenzo was once suspected of murdering Sebastian. When Martín tells Lorenzo the truth, he is devastated and refuses to believe that Martín is not his son. When Martín questions Lorenzo about Sebastian's murder, he admits that he was the last person with Sebastian, but he did not kill him. Lorenzo declares that nothing has changed for him, Martín is still his son, to which Martín agrees. Martín sees his true paternity as a good thing, because it means they are not a father and son who fell in love with the same woman.

Martín finds out that he was left a large inheritance by his maternal grandfather. The only way he can get it is if he is married. Vicky offers to marry him but he states that he never wants to get married and that his inheritance can be donated to charity.

Martín and Vicky have grown very close and its clear Martín has started to fall for her too, but he does not want a relationship. Vicky tells him she does not have any expectations he just wants to be with him. Martín tells Vicky he is never going to fall in love again because he is always going to be in love with Aurora. Vicky tells Martín goodbye.

Martín also manages to revive Aurora's godmother, Pasion Urquijo. He uses an alias so Aurora does not know about his involvement, but Pasion eventually finds out his identity. The two form a close friendship and she encourages him to go after Vicky.

Martín has a change of heart and goes to visit Vicky at her family's summer house. They are about to make love when Vicky changes her mind and tells Martín she will only sleep with him when he is completely over Aurora. Christian kisses Vicky to help make Martín jealous and she plays along. Martín in turn invites Diana to make Vicky jealous. Diana observes how bothered Martín is when Vicky is with Christian and tells him he has fallen in love with Vicky without even realizing it. Martín profusely denies this, he says that since Vicky has no memory, therefore she is not her real self and that once she regains her memory she will have no feelings for him. He already fell in love with someone who does not exact (Aurora) and does not want to go through all that suffering again; he begs Diana to help him forget about her.

Things between Martín and Vicky are further complicated by Lorenzo's friend, Ernesto, who is in love with Vicky. Vicky tells Martín she plans on sleeping with Ernesto (Ernesto lied to Vicky that they had slept together before). Martín realizes he is not in love with Aurora anymore and rushes to stop Vicky, but he sees her kissing Ernesto and changes his mind. However, she ends up not going through with it.

Gustavo informs Martín that he may lose the clinic, which means they won't be able to help Pasion, Aurora, and Vicky who may develop illnesses from being frozen. Martín agrees to get his inheritance. He asks to Diana to marry him and she happily agrees. It seems like all hope is lost for Martín and Vicky. Martín is informed he cannot get his inheritance if he marries someone who is divorced, which Diana is. Martín reluctantly agrees to marry Vicky, but he makes her that their marriage is business deal and they are free to see other people.

Despite some interference from Diana, the wedding goes ahead. Martín realizes he wants to be with Vicky and they make love. Vicky regains her memory the next morning, but, to Martín's relief, she is still in love with him.

Tragedy strikes Martín's family again when Natalia is violently raped by a group of man. Cesar, Lorenzo, and Martín go after the men. There is a struggle and one man accidentally falls off a roof and dies. Neither do they know that this is caught on tape and it appears Lorenzo had pushed him.
