Later, Emanuel decides to leave and sends a goodbye message to the people he is leaving behind. The episode then takes a time leap into a year later when Emanuel walks into Julia’s exhibition and leaves behind a message for the woman he loves.

Upon finding the message, she soon rushes to the address that he leaves behind and the two once again get back together. Things soon seem to fall into place as Minou is proven guilty of Ana’s death while Florencia is left to leave the bars. On the other hand, Emanuel and Julia are also ready to start anew.

He then walks out with a blank expression and on their way, he confronts her. Julia then tells him the truth about her mother’s murder and in a calm voice recollects the incident while confessing that she is the real murderer.

She tells him that after the murder she wanted to frame Victor because she knew that he was the one behind her father’s death but given no way to prove it she decided to frame him in another case.

However, this plan failed when Minou took the blame for Florencia so she decided to use the drug to get him punished instead. And with this the scene shifts to prison where Victor is being beaten and burnt in prison.

She then tells him that love is painful and sacrifices are needed to make it enjoyable and worth it which shows us that Julia has ended up with a twisted personality after this incident.

Will there be a Season 2?

The episode is left with the traffic signal turning green which gives Emanuel two choices- either to turn Julia in as the real culprit or forget about everything and enjoy a peaceful life with her.

It is this scene that leaves us hanging and opens up the door for a season 2 because while one route might free Minou and restart his gigolo life and the other will help him live a normal life.

So while the show gave us a surprise in the end while giving us a look into what really happened on the night of Ana’s murder, it has still left us hanging and asking for more.

  1. No need for season 2. He loves her and is not judgmental like she is with him so they will stay together. Perhaps season 2 can be about Tomas’s life or a different character.

  2. At Episode 9…i was literally playing Cop on the couch and suspected Victor..Dolores…Flor…Or Abel!! But never thought it was Julia! Seriously looking forward to Season 2 !!! Emanuel is ????????????

  3. Julia needs HELP‼️she is mentally unstable and I think he should turn her in and move on with his life tbh….Season 2 is needed????

  4. Yes! Maybe by then the handsome guy playing Emanuel will have learn how to act. The actresses on this show were so talented. It was a pleasure to watch. I want more!

  5. We def need a season 2… because Emmanuel does see Minuo as his mom. Como la va a traicionar… you can tell Julia mando hacer beat up a Víctor y lo mando quemar porque no es casualidad that his back was burning! I really hope they give us another season! No now dejen con el Jesus en la boca ????
