family. At the banquet, Lara meets Jakov Zlatar, a young, well-raised young man from a respectable family. Jakov returned to Split after several years and his mother Nela had prepared a party in his honor. Jakov is not interested in the world that his mother and father try to impose on him, with the young girl catching his eye. Jakov and Lara fall in love at first sight and spend the evening together. After a passionate night in the garden, Nela catches them and expels Lara from the Zlatar property. Because he failed to prevent his mother's act, Jakov feels embarrassed and asks Lara for forgiveness.
Nela Zlatar is a proud woman obsessed with the family's image and the continuation of the respected Zlatar bloodline. She is convinced that Lara approached Jakov only to enter their family and to destroy Jakov's career as a successful sea captain. Jakov needs to leave for work abroad but before his departure, he proposes to Lara. The two get married. Jakov brings Lara back into the Zlatar house and tells everyone that Lara is now his legal wife. Lara's world starts to change dramatically. She is left to the mercy of Nela and Jakov's younger sister Nikol.
