Velvet

Now a renowned designer, Ana dates pilot Carlos and dedicates herself to launching a ready-to-wear line at Velvet. Marco is against the new line but his father shows support. Meanwhile, Cristina returns, stirring tension.

Ana’s new fashion line hinges on Mateo’s return to Velvet. Mateo sets outrageous conditions for his return, but Enzo accepts every one. Clara prepares for an emotional reunion with her former husband.

Cristina convinces Adele to keep her revelation to herself. Clara’s reunion with Mateo is a disaster. Rita conceals the news of her diagnosis from everyone, until she ends up confiding in Dona Blanca.

Cristina allies herself with Carlos and pushes him to speed up his plans to marry Ana, who fights for her line at Velvet. Rita continues to hide her illness from Pedro, though he is consumed by his new duties and barely even notices.

Carlos proposes, but Ana asks for more time. Pedro struggles to support Rita, financially and emotionally, through her crisis. Clara lets jealousy get the best of her, and Valentin fails to keep Patricia’s secret from Enrique.

Pedro makes a sacrifice for Rita’s health crisis, with devastating consequences. Once she learns the truth, Ana unquestioningly supports her friend. Clara, caught up on the fallout and overwhelmed, reconnects with Mateo.

All of Velvet is on edge as family and friends await news of Rita’s surgery. Ana’s new fashion line is finally launched. The coverage in Mateo’s magazine not only celebrates the line, but hands Mateo a tantalizing, unbelievable mystery.

Ana’s fashion line earns praise but Marco, with Cristina’s help, attempts to claim credit for himself. After bidding a passionate goodbye to Clara, Mateo pursues a discovery all the way to New York. Meanwhile, Patricia grieves Valentin.

Finally fed up with Marco’s scheming, Ana leaves Velvet, focusing instead on her wedding. Clara and Rita, however, do everything they can to stall the wedding while Mateo continues to search for Alberto in New York.

Ana is stunned by Alberto’s return. She cancels her wedding to Carlos, but must ask herself whether her feelings have changed--and why Alberto never wrote. Before she can resolve her confusion, disaster strikes.

As the truth of his disappearance comes to light, Alberto reunites with his son and finally proposes to Ana. Pedro and Rita look to the future. Cristina faces ruin and Velvet’s future hangs in the balance after the fire.
