She travels abroad and prepares to become the most important political advisor in the country. When she feels ready, she returns and becomes Mejía's right hand and strategist. Her plan consists of gaining his trust, placing him first in the polls, only to then destroy him by shedding light on his past and his corruption and illegal actions. Her goal is for him to lose the presidency and even his freedom. In her road to vengeance, Analía faces many truths that will put her decision to a test. Among those, the possibility that by destroying the man she hates she might need to also destroy the only man she has ever loved, Pablo de la Torre (George Slebi)."
