Plot

The story revolves around Milagros and Ivo, two people who fall in love with each other in spite of the odds against them. It is a romantic comedy novela that also touches on issues of family, wealth, greed, deception, and most of all—love. Milagros was brought up in an orphanage when her mother died giving birth to her. She had no idea who her father was and spent all her years despising him for abandoning them. She ends up becoming a house servant at the Di Carlo mansion when she turns 18, since she can no longer stay in the orphanage. In the mansion, she meets new friends, and people who treat her as family. But she also gains new foes, specifically Luisa Di Carlo ( Ivo's mother ) and Marta ( another servant ) who hate her for her tactless and feisty character, and also for her use of vulgar phrases. Angelica Di Carlo, Federico Di Carlo's mother, initially dislikes Milagros, but slowly falls in love with her lively character and her rejection of pretentious social norms, and regards her as her granddaughter. Later, it is revealed that Milagros is actually her granddaughter, which strengthens their bond even more. Most of all, she meets the love of her life, Ivo Di Carlo, the heir of the Di Carlo fortune. Theirs is a love-hate relationship, decorated with comedic antics they play on each other, and the passion of their true love. Ivo Di Carlo is a playboy, immature, and boastful. He has had everything handed to him on a silver platter. But he lacks the love of a father, as Federico Di Carlo makes him feel unwanted. Milagros, on the other hand, is religious, playful, and has a strong character. Their relationship survives many challenges, including issues that root from their parents' deceptive acts, secret love affairs, greed, and ambition. As a playboy, Ivo also has several girls that go between him and Milagros, the most significant are Andrea, Florencia, and Pilar. Andrea, Federico's secretary, is shown to be a very vicious character, as she is constantly trying to sabotage the relationship between Milagros and Ivo, as she wants Ivo for herself. Milagros also has flings of her own, she forges relationships with Pablo and Sergio. At some point, Milagros thinks that they are siblings, as Luisa Di Carlo gives Milagros a letter in which she reveals that Federico Di Carlo is her real father. However, it is also later revealed that Ivo is the son of Luisa Di Carlo's lover, Nestor Miranda. In the end, Ivo and Milagros survive the tests of their relationship and wed in front of the people they love.
