Nicolás assures Victoria that, although he is going to marry Florencia and wants to try to love her, he cannot because he is still in love with her. Florencia is surprised when Hilario appears before her with a bouquet of flowers and hopes that he has understood that life has put her in his path so that he can forget everything else. Victoria does not understand Nicolás' attitude; he insists that he loves her, but he is going to marry Florencia; to the young Guanipa it seems a real cheek for the young man to show his love when he is about to marry another woman whom he obviously does not respect either. Florencia insists Hilario not to talk to her about love, because she is going to marry Nicolás Del Casal, news that makes a great impression on Mr. Guanipa. Victoria confides to Clementina that she has already begun to accept that Nicolás chose Florencia and not her to share his life. Victoria, who does not believe that Fernanda will return Cantarrana to her, begs Nicolás not to go live in what was his house with Florencia, who appears at that moment and, besides warning the young Guanipa that they will live wherever they please, urges her to understand once and for all that she no longer counts for anything in Nicolás' life.
