Ana’s obsession threatens her personal life

When Ana visits her family after days, her husband and daughter seem disappointed. Also, when they go to Noa’s school to talk about her changing behavior with her teacher, Ana’s husband asks her to shut down the investigation as it was taking a toll on their life, especially Noa’s. However, obsessed Ana refuses to do so as she is adamant on proving that Sergio is a victim of domestic violence and that he is a good person. Unfortunately, her infatuation with Sergio pushes her family away.

How did Sergio get hold of Noa’s number?

Cabrera threatens Sergio as he is fixated on sending Sergio back to the detention center. He bribes Mikel and threatens Greta to destroy Ana’s investigation. However, he seems to be failing in his trap. Sergio gets furious and makes a desperate move. He secretively runs to leave his house and visit his grandparent’s home. Sadly, his grandfather has dementia and doesn’t remember Noa. Suddenly, his aunt appears, with whom he trades to get Noa’s number. He gives up his father’s heritage to his aunt in exchange for Noa’s number. Soon after, he goes to the greenhouse to remove his ankle bracelet because he desperately wants to meet Noa before he gets sent back to detention. However, unexpected events occur at the greenhouse as Sergio almost murders Nataneal and runs away with his car to find Noa.
