Plot

Helena is a former secretary of António Fontes Morais's who cunningly married her boss, thus earning the title of a trophy wife. Together, they had two children: Tomás and Camila. Their firstborn is a playboy who has been living in the United States and Camila is a spoiled young woman who spends her days spending money and on her phone. The family enjoys a lavish lifestyle, but António doesn't go without a driver and armed security since his brother Fausto was murdered, leaving his son Miguel under the care of his aunt and uncle.

Helena's hatred for the Rocha family has grown as much as the cousins Tomás and Miguel, who is stuck to a wheelchair, love Laura. So, without realizing, the nurse sees herself in the middle of a love triangle that will undermine the harmony between the Fontes Morais and Rocha families. Still, Verónica, who is totally in love with Tomás, and Helena will resort to any means necessary to get rid of Laura.

Premiering with the purpose of returning the lead of audiences left with Amor Amor - Vol. 2 and also to raise the values of its predecessor Papel Principal (2023), A Promessa saw one of the best pilot-episode rating broadcast by SIC since A Serra (2021), drawing a rating of 13.4 points and audience share of 27.0%, leading the audiences.[18]

Since the first episode that the telenovela raised the audiences left by Papel Principal and Senhora do Mar (2024) when they passed the time slot and alternated the leadership with the main competitor Cacau (2024), from TVI, until it began to lead frequently after the premiere of the second season, coinciding between the final episodes of Cacau and the debut of its new main competitor A Fazenda (2024), also from TVI.[23][24]
