Castilianon ViX PremiumJulio just got a big surprise discovering that his sister is still alive. After the excitement of the reunion, there are many questions which Cristina must answer. Why is she still alive? What has happened? Why has it been hidden all these weeks? What relationship does his supposed death have with the other crimes that have hit Cantaloa? Cristina's presence will resolve all these issues but will also unleash new questions and dangers that, far from solving everything, will cause serious problems for both her brother and Alicia. Meanwhile, at the hotel, Diego's detention, accused of Cristina's death, leaves a power vacuum that immediately unleashes a struggle between Alfredo and Javier.
