Fabiola's parents are killed in a plane crash leaving her and her younger sister, Andrea, orphans. Their parents estate is divided equally among the girls. But at the reading of the will, the family is surprised to learn of the existence of a life insurance policy for one million dollars. They're even more surprised when they learn who the sole beneficiary of that policy is. While the family squabbles over what to do about the policy, Fabiola decides she's going to take over the administration of her family's business: a successful garage, where she finds more than she bargained for when she meets a mechanic named Ramon who just happens to be the son of her long-time nanny, Juana.
It is based on the Venezuelan telenovela written by Doris Seguí, "Tomasa Tequiero" produced in 2009.
Fabiola and Andrea are orphaned when their parents die in a plane crash, and both they and Hortensia, their grandmother, are surprised when they learn that the beneficiary of their inheritance of a million dollars is none other than Juana, the humble woman who works as their Nana.
The entire Medina family is outraged by the news and pressure Juana to give them the insurance money. She gets tired of everyone's selfishness and makes it clear that she will not allow anyone to administer the money, because she will do so thinking about the well-being of Andrea and Fabiola. Hortensia demands for Juana to leave, without imagining that her granddaughters will defend Juana, but after a misunderstanding she leaves.
Juana is not interested in money; her main concern is her son Ramón, a young nobleman who lived in the province working as a mechanic, but had to move to the capital after falling in love with Sofia, the daughter of a capo de la Mafia, who is forced to break his heart and demand that he leaves to protect him from her father.
Ramón arrives at the house of Luisa and Dalia, giving a great surprise to Juana, who makes him aware of the death of her bosses and the insurance. Ramón advises his mother to give the Medina family the insurance money to avoid problems with them.
Dalia takes Ramón to Antonio's car workshop to get him work and to his surprise, he meets Fabiola who does not lose her opportunity to make him feel bad, telling him that she is the owner and does not intend to hire him.
Despite their differences, there is a very special chemistry between them, and they can not hide the attraction and, at the same time, the rejection they have, which brings problems to Fabiola, and her relationship with Francisco, who gets upset with jealousy.
Fabiola had agreed to work in the machine shop just out of ambition. However, Ramón unmasks her to Juana, making her accept that she decided to work in the shop, just so they can trust her with the insurance money. Fabiola, knowing she was discovered, decides to continue working to show them that she can be responsible.
The daily coexistence is creating an increasingly strong attraction between Fabiola and Ramón, until the point of not being able to hide their feelings, but things get complicated when Sofia appears looking for Ramon. This time, she is not ready to give him up and she is determined to get Ramón back.
Meanwhile, Hortensia goes to several lawyers, to challenge the document that declares Juana as sole beneficiary of the Medina family's life insurance, as well as inventing that the insurance signature is false, blaming Juana as a counterfeiter. She does not mind losing the insurance just so she can see Juana in jail. It is revealed that Juana truly is the beneficiary of the insurance after Andrea and Jorge find a video tape where Fabiola and Andrea's parents decide to leave the money to Juana.
Thus, while Juana struggles with the constant attacks of Hortensia, Ramón is in the midst of two women who are in love with him and will fight with everything to stay with his love.
