SYNOPSIS

Merlina González, designer and leader of a group of artisan silver jewelers, finds the prediction that her cousin Loreta, an astrology expert, has made to her on the date of her birthday: “Merlina, the stars announce the next arrival of the love to your life”.  She finds it ridiculous since she does not have love in her near future plans. Her main goal is to take her family out from the poor situation which they are living and to make her group of artisans successful in the silver market, without having need of any intermediaries. For this reason, she is strongly opposed to the artisans signing a contract that Carbó Jewelers proposes to them.  Merlina considers that the interest of Carbó Jewelers in the artisans is only due to the fact that they see them as strong competitors. Regina Carbó, assiduous astrology believer, has been sentenced by her head astrologer, Tirso Lapiel, of the imminent danger that runs in her family, with the next alignment of the planets.  In power, two women will be her salvation, and two women will be her executioners.  This can only be avoided, if the planet Mars that is represented by her grandson Santiago joins in love to a woman governed by the planet Venus.  Santiago returns home on his grandmothers Regina’s command, in order to join into the family business.  His goal is to become the president of Carbó Jewelers and for this, he must achieve that the artisans who have become their fierce competitors, be absorbed by Carbó Jewelers.  Santiago a young executive to whom love has never been of his interest has another condition imposed by his grandmother in order to become president: he must be married and form a family in order to achieve the emotional stability needed to handle a business such as Carbó Jewelers.  Grandmother Regina knows how unwilling Santiago is in all it related to love and being aware of this, and knowing that her grandson must marry a woman of their social level, Regina for some time has hired as her company jewelry designer Angelica Herrera, a beautiful, intelligent worldly woman that for sure will please Santiago.  What his grandmother ignores is that another woman will appear in Santiago’s life that will steal his heart: Merlina. Nobody would wager that a passionate love story could ever exist between Merlina and Santiago since before knowing each other, they are already confronted.  They meet on their way out of the bar “The Fortune”, where Merlina works as a waitress, the moment when a young boy thief has stolen Angelica’s purse.  Santiago initiates a pursuit of this child and ends up catching both him and Merlina, while believing her to be his accomplice.  He takes them both to a near police station and after cleared the mistake, they both wish never to meet again.  From this moment on, a rivalry, a lack of trust and a strange mutual attraction is born between them.
