He’s brought to his father’s hacienda by Rupert Giles, don Rodrigo’s lawyer, after he’s called to Anna’s deathbed and she reveals the secret of his existence. His stepmother, Darla, however, is not happy about the fact that he exists and can threaten her son Angel as don Rodrigo’s first born and heir. After a series of unfortunate incidents that result in the sudden disappearance and presumed death of don Rodrigo just as he was about to recognize William as his son, he’s left to survive on his own. A few years later, destiny intervenes to entwine William, Elizabeth, Angel and Aimée’s lives into a tale of everlasting love, lust, envy and intrigue.
