Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Herederos de una venganza (Spanish: "Heirs to a vengueance") was a 2011 Argentine telenovela.

Antonio Puentes, a man engaged with Angie, made a trip to her home city of Vidisterra (a small fictional village of wineries) for the wedding. But once there, she was murdered by a secret lodge, who used her as a human sacrifice. Antonio stayed in the village, trying to discover who murdered Angie. Soon, he fell in love with Mercedes Leiva. The lodge thought that Antonio and Mercedes were "the foreigner" and "the chosen one", of their book of prophecies. The villain Benicio Echague came from Chile and joined the lodge, thought himself as "the foreigner" and sought the love of Mercedes. To separe them, he arranged things so that Antonio seemed to have killed Mercedes' cousing right before Mercedes stepped in and saw him with the body and a weapon in his hand. Antonio was jailed, and the car moving him to the trial exploded.

But Antonio survived the explosion, and stayed in the shadows, until he was released as innocent. Mercedes had a son with him, which she claimed was Benicio's, but confessed it when they reunited. There were further attacks by Benicio and the Lodge, until the happy end.
