SUMMARY

The best filipino soap (together with pangako sayo). Lorna Tolentino stars as twins Lorrea and Lorrinda Guinto. They grow up with Francis Ventaspejo (Ricky Davao). Lorrea and Lorrinda fall for the same man Boris (John Estrada). One night Lorrinda couldnt meet Boris and she asks Lorrea to pretend to be her. They make love. Francis rapes Lorrinda. Lorrea is pregnant and the question arises as to who is the father of her child Andrei

In an attempt to get away from the Ventaspejos, who kidnapped her son away from her, she gets her child from the mansion. The father gets killed (i forgot how, i think there were burglars). Lorrea gets blamed.

In the pier, she went down to get Andrei food but is caught by police. Andrei is left with an acquaintance met on the boat. The boat sinks but Andrei is saved by somebody i forgot the name. The one who saved him named him Yuri and eventually dies.

He went to manila and met the kid ivan. He often tells ivan that he dreams of a woman crying at the pier waving at him. (Andrei on the ship, Lorrea crying and waving incessantly at him). They eventually ended up with a child syndicate. Ivan gets busted by police and Yuri escapes. He is adopted by Mirdo (Ronnie Lazaro).

Years went by. Lorrea in jail, and meets Lorrinda inside. Lorrinda asks Lorea if she wants one day of freedom, as Lorrinda, through her special privileges, gets out of jail during nights. She agrees but then the cell was bombed by Brigitta (bing Loyzaga), who is in love wih Henri Argos.

Lorrea assumes the life of Ingrid, through Boris' prodding, in a hope to find his son. Lorrinda is now Ingrid Medrano a.k.a Red Butterfly, second wife of drug lord Henri Argos (Edu Manzano), and stepmom to Helaena (Rica Peralejo), Katrina (Bea Alonzo), and Nicos.

Helaena falls hard for Yuri (John Lloyd Cruz). They become boyfriend and girlfriends, but Yuri realizes that his "pards", kayla (dimples romana), is the one he truly loves. The love story between Yuri and kayla is one of the funniest storylines, especially when kayla is courted by Tibors (Rafael Rossell).

Brigitta dies (I forgot how) and Lady Morganna (Jean Garcia), together with Dimitri Mijares (Johnny Delgado), seeks vengeance on Henri Argos.

Everybody tries to escape, and they were ambushed. Henri dies. Kayla is hit. All hell broke lose when Henri is caught as the drug lord, leaving his kids astonished and penniless. On the fateful day that Helaena went to Yuri's house, she overhears yuri saying to his adoptive father Mirdo that kayla is the one he loves and not helaena.

Yuri and Mirdo are kidnapped separately. A voice instructs Lorrea to shoot Mirdo in order to save Yuri, with Yuri seeing the whole thing. Mirdo dies. Lorrea pulls the trigger but it is actually soembody else that hit Mirdo. Yuri vows revenge. Lorrea is then blown up.

Fast forward and Helaena becomes a prostitute. Anilov, Dimitri's son, whom he is at odds with, because Dimitri's fave is Anilov's sister. She died because of drugs (that Argos supplies), has a party planning company. He falls for her. And makes him work for his company. And has an alter ego "Mr. X", which Helaena has talking sessions with.

Yuri, is now a lawyer. He was adopted by Dimitri, who felt guilty about the whole thing. Kayla is in Europe. He meets Katrina and they fall in love. Katrina, recognizes Yuri but Yuri does not. Kathrina wanted to avenge her sister at first. But eventually falls in love too. The scene where Helaena found out about their relationship was a real highlight.

Lorrea is now lea. Half of her face was burned by the explosion. Dimitri marries her. Yuri treats morganna as his second mom. Boris married Morgana, without Boris knowing about what Morganna did.

Finding out Lorrea is alive, Boris starts to fall in love with her again, to morganna's dismay.

Morganna and Dimitri doesnt see eye to eye anymore. Morganna poisons him.

Before ending, Lorrea's face is fixed through surgery and now Dimitri, his mentor's wife, who had also been close to him, is actually the one who killed Mirdo his adoptive father.

In the end, it is revealed that Lorrinda is alive and had amnesia. The senate hearing where Lorrea is being charged with drug trafficking proved to be the most riveting. Yuri prosecuting his own mother. Anilov defending.

Helaena and Anilov finds out that Yuri is Lorrea's son. They tell Yuri but Yuri does not believe. He thinks that Lorrea is still ingrid Medrano / Red Butterfly and since that both Lorrea and Lorrinda had no birth certificates, he thinks she is lying. (the birth certificates had long been pulled out by Lorrinda to erase trace on her). Lorrea is locked in a cell. They have a fight and Lorrea's hand is scratched. Lorrinda appears before Yuri and Yuri says it's not possible. He looks at her hands and sees no scratch. He then believes that Lorrea is her mother and that she in fact has a twin.
