In La Promesa, tensions erupt as the presumed-dead Leocadia de Figueroa returns, her presence shaking the very foundation of the palace. Cruz struggles to conceal her nervousness, but Jana, her determined daughter-in-law, seizes the moment to challenge her manipulative schemes. The truth about Leocadia’s disappearance comes to light through a secretive conversation with Rómulo, the loyal butler, who reveals that he defied Cruz’s deadly orders and instead helped Leocadia vanish to protect her. 
Jana allies with Leocadia to dismantle Cruz’s grip on the household, their shared goal creating a powerful bond. The dining room becomes a stage for confrontation as Leocadia fearlessly exposes Cruz’s dark past, supported by irrefutable evidence of her crimes, including her attempt to murder Leocadia. Cornered and unable to deny her guilt, Cruz’s power crumbles entirely.
With Cruz ousted, Jana steps into a leadership role, fostering a new era of justice and harmony in La Promesa. Alongside Manuel, she implements reforms to uplift everyone in the household, while Leocadia, having achieved her revenge, chooses to stay on as a guiding figure for the palace’s renewal. The story culminates in the promise of a brighter future, led by courage and unity.
