Pero el largo y criminal brazo de los asesinos se estiró hasta la antigua Roma y el ex Gobernador y su esposa fueron asesinados. También cuenta la historia de una hermosa mujer que, junto con su madre, una campesina nacida en un pequeño pueblo, lucha con su hija hasta que llega a los Estados Unidos y las dos triunfan pero antes estuvieron involucrada con esta familia habiendo vivido un tórrido romance con el cónsul encargado de negocios perteneciente a la Embajada de un país Latino Americano, siendo después abandonada con una hija y cómo fue que surgió como el ave Fénix, llegando a ser doctora por su propio esfuerzo, esposa de un prestigioso Médico, habiendo tenido que aguantar frio y hambre, siendo explotada por un Chino propietario de un fabrica de camisas y como el destino les ayudo a ella y todas sus compañeras a recuperar los dineros de su trabajo perdido, habiendo cerrado la fabrica acabando la explotación de centenares de mujeres cuando todo lo creían perdido.
