Years later, after a series of events that show Emma's ambition to climb socially, she eventually marries Bonifacio, only to find disappointment and the burdens of her family's legacy. As the narrative unfolds, we see Emma struggling with her identity and her feelings for her husband, while Bonifacio grapples with his place in a family that views him as socially inferior.
