Life is a one big maze. Every turn we take lead us to another path. Patricia's life is the definition of one big maze. From the moment that she was conceived in the womb, there has been so much complication in her life. Even the way that her lineage started was complicated.
Her real name is Patricia Zaragoza Maxford. The only daughter of an heir, and heiress of two powerful underground organization. The first born of the most powerful family in Jericho, California, Franklin Maxford. And, the heiress of the biggest mob group in Spain, Violet Zaragoza. After Violet's father died, she was forced to find a suitable husband to strengthen their organization.
But, something happened that made things complicated. No one has any idea how it started or why, even the who. The once one happy, and powerful family got separated. It's like a classic fairy tale story. The king, and queen lost their one and only princess. The kingdom fell into a dark era, and lost their only hope.
Tasha was shocked about everything that followed after knowing the truth about Patricia's identity. As complicated as it is, she didn't realize that it could get anymore messed up than it already is. But, the funny thing is, Franklin didn't waste time claiming what was his. He came to Valenzuela estate with a hundred of his men, all armed, and prepared for war.She honestly felt scared that chaos would erupt, more so when Gonzalo went out to meet him. Franklin threatened to kill everyone at the estate if Gonzalo won't give Patricia to them. But, when one of his announced that Patricia was spotted running away through the southern part of the wooded area surrounding Gonzalo's property.If not for Darryl who took her deep into the woods where he told t
Early in the morning, one of Gonzalo's servants knock on their bedroom door. There was a delivery dropped off at the gate addressed to Gonzalo's name. It was a sealed long wooden box, only larger than a coffin by one or two inches. Nobody touched it yet, because they were all waiting for the two bosses to come down. A putrid smell is coming out from the box, and all of them are too familiar in such smell. The moment Gonzalo and Patricia came down to the living room, they immediately gave the order to open the wooden box. And, no matter how strong their stomachs are, seeing what was the content of the box rattled them. "Oh, God! That's Benson." One of their men exclaimed. "I'm going to skin those bastard alive!" Another one yelled out of anger. "Calm down, boys. This is a good thing. He is running on blind rage, and his tripping. A rabid animal is easier to hunt because they don't have strategy anymore. They are working on rage." "Does that mea

However, her whole life was put on hold when she learned about the life brewing inside of her. Bracing herself with the jolting pain that started as soon as she got up from bed, Patricia Harrington grabbed the wooden railing beside her. Nine months ago, she was the well-liked, well-respected daughter of a very successful construction firm owner, Anthony Harrington. "Mom!" But she fell in love with the wrong man. She was so naive to think that her boyfriend, Denver Braxton, truly loved her. Giving herself to him with his promise that they will be together no matter what happened.

A stranger in a more modern land, modern people and culture. Patricia struggles to adapt to her new life in New York. In Raleigh, North Carolina, where she grew up, women are respected. But in New York, women are like food or clothes you buy in a shopping mall. So many choices, so many flavors. And one of those flavors is Tasha. The woman who helped her when she has nowhere to go. It's only been a few days since she gave birth and arrived in New York. She was still regaining her strength and calculating her surroundings, in fact, Patricia can't even move comfortably. Tasha gave her all the space she needed. Never even asked her about what happened in Raleigh and respected her silence. Even when she doesn't come out of her room, she still stayed patient. "Good morning!" Patricia's newfound friend greeted her. She just got out of her room after locking herself inside for a whole day. She looks better now than the first days she met Tasha. "Hungry?"

She no longer cries at night, missing her dad and the town she grew up in. Acceptance has finally come to her. But it doesn't mean that she no longer remembers. The memory of her past is still fresh in her mind, and there are times that she would suddenly stop and remember those happy days. -Flashback- It's the festivity season for the town of Hillsborough in Raleigh, North Carolina. People are busy every single day because of the preparations for the upcoming events. The Queen of Hillsborough, the town parade, the unique race contest, and the town's garage sales.

Lindsay is the daughter of the most respected man in town, a
"Wow! You're great! I've been married for fifteen years, and I never experienced that with my wife." Patricia just smiled with her customer's statement while putting on her robe. He's her second that day. Having different men in her bed has been a regular occurrence in Patricia's life for the past few months. She looked so different now than the small-town girl who just gave birth exactly one year ago. Now, she only wears sexy dresses and revealing clothes. She already learned how to wear make-up every day and became conscious of her looks. "Here, I hope we can do this again another time?" The man said. Patricia can't even remember his name. "Sure, just come by the club whenever you want," Patricia responded, sh
From Patricia's perspective, life became so much easier. Because of Gonzalo, she and her son get to enjoy a wonderful New York life. Her son now has three nannies and his driver. Patricia no longer lives with Tasha. Gonzalo took her in and made her a kept woman. Many of their co-workers at Xfactor envy her for having such luck in her short stay at the club. Some of them have been working as a stripper for a decade and has never even had the chance to find a decent man. "Patricia? Hey, focus." Rick tapped Patricia's face a few times, but she was staring at the wall. She is awake but lost in her world. "Patricia, come on." "Leave her," Gonzalo commanded. "Damn it," Rick whispered. He had no choice but to leave Pat
