As if that were not enough, he is appointed to investigate cases of illegal adoptions and will have to face mafia law firms, submissive judges, nursery homes that offer babies over the Internet, a lucrative business that will turn Guatemala into one of the countries with the highest number of children given up for adoption after Russia and China.

Moreover, to her absolute joy, she has a first-born in whom she has high hopes: brimming with qualities, real and imaginary, Renato is destined not only to run the business emporium created by his father, but, in time, to make her a proud grandmother. Nothing is perfect: Maria Helena has another son, a potential suicide... Why does Emiliano Rivera del Pozo wants to commit suicide? Because he lost all interest in the hypothetical future.
