Helena Montoya

She is an enemy of Lily Cruz, who utilized her female foot soldiers called "The Dragon Ladies" to carry out missions to destroy her enemies. Her motivation against Lily is fueled by her association with her (and Julio's) daughter Emilia Ardiente. In public, she is a known successful jeweler and philanthropist who wanted to invest in Poblacion Ardiente and reunite with her long lost daughter Emilia. In the underworld, she is known as a cunning and calculating leader of criminal syndicates that run all over the country and neighboring Asian countries. Her syndicate was foiled by Julio Ardiente who ordered a hit on the Big Four while Lily Cruz successfully incinerated her riches. Left with no choice, she decided to join forces with the Ardientes to take revenge against Lily Cruz. When Emilia manages to take Camia as hostage, she was later subdued and taken hostage by Lily as both she and Emilia successfully trade their beloved mothers. Helena immediately shoots Lily to graze her shoulder as she shoots her in retaliation, injuring her. As she was being taken to a hospital, her ambulance suddenly exploded thus killing her. At the time of her death, Julio coldly berates her for betraying him.
