Pero esta vez se estremeció por tener que arrinconar sus engaños y leer un destino que la incluiría...El destino de los dos hermanos y sobrinos del presidente de la República, Julián y Leandro, parece estar marcado por el capricho del Patrón, quien dispone a su antojo de todo y todos los que están bajo su control.
