Sara had to escape to Guadalajara to save herself and her son. Later on, she discovers that her husband did steal these 3 million dollars but when she tried to get the money, the cartel took it from her. Sara would soon learn and endure secrets, betrayals, deaths, and the struggle to save her son who would eventually fall ill. Desperate to save her son, she returned to Guadalajara where she would enter the drug business through another cartel, then would find herself in another set of malicious actions from continued enemies including the obsession of a drug lord. She would find love again when meeting another PGR agent and later on a spy.^[10]

Vicenta Rigores is one of the most respected and feared coyotes of the border between Mexico and the United States. Immigrants seek for her because she has fame to protect their lives when passing the edge. Homeland Security officials are seeking her, especially Daniel Phillips. The other coyotes want her dead because they are taking away business. The Coyote does not know that unbeknownst to her is that she is illegitimate daughter of narco Vicente Acero and the half-sister of Salvador, the only heir of the dynasty for the moment. Chucho Casares will be the worst enemy of Vicenta not only for being the murderer of her mother but because he opposes her relationship with Abelardo, his son.
