After a long court and the pressure, Natalia was experiencing from her mother, she decided to live with Karl and make their family. Unfortunately, Karl had fallen in love with Natalia. Paulina used Claudia to bring back Karl to her and the same with Claudia.

When Natalia was set to labor, she suffered a car accident with Karl. Claudia kept the newborn baby to Oscar, her driver, and bodyguard, while Karl suffered amnesia.
