Plot

The first part of the story takes part in the 1980s. Salomé, who was abandoned as a child by her mother, is a cabaret dancer who works at the cabaret Salón D'Rubí. Her best friend, Karicia, also works as a dancer.
At the Salón she meets Diego Duval and his brother-in-law, Julio Montesino, a married man. Lucrecia, Julio's mother, is obsessed with having a grandson. Julio and Salomé meet in Tampico and begin an affair. Afterwards, Salomé finds out she is pregnant. When Doña Lucrecia finds out, she proposes to Salomé that she stay at the Montesino mansion while awaiting the birth of her baby. Salomé accepts and Doña Lucrecia proposes that Salomé turn over her baby to the Montesino Family to raise as Salomé has no financial means to care for a child.
Salomé accepts and moves into the Montesino mansion, much to the displeasure of Ángela. Ángela is Julio's wife; she has a fatal illness and is unable to bear children. Manola, the maid of the house, cares for Ángela and is also displeased with the situation.

Salomé raises all three kids, who she registers as being born the same day in order to conceal her own son. The kids are called José Armando, José Miguel and José Julián. She marries a man who is a widow and wants to give her son's his name and protection and uses his last name, Lavalle. When the boys grow up, they decide to go to college in Mexico City and she is forced to move back.
