Kababata niya ang kambal pero batid niyang hindi siya magkakagusto isa man sa kanila dahil bukod sa kaibigan niya ang mga ito, isa lang din naman siyang hamak na anak ng mayordoma sa mansion ng mga binata. Pero bakit kabaliktaran yata ang lahat? Naging mapaglaro ang tadhana dahil sa kambal pa tumibok ang kaniyang puso. Hindi niya alam na ang kambal pa ang magpapagulo sa tahimik niyang mundo. Hindi alam ng dalaga na magkakagusto siya sa magkapatid kahit na magkaiba ito ng ugali. At lalong hindi niya maintindihan na sa kabila ng hindi magandang katangian ni Franco ay nahulog pa rin ang loob niya rito. Samantalang kabaliktaran naman ito ni Marco na mabait, maginoo, at maalalahanin. Lahat na yata ng magandang katangian ay na kay Marco na. Pero bakit pakiramdam ng dalaga may kulang pa? Paano niya kaya iiwasan ang kambal kung sila naman ang panay na lumalapit? At paano niya sasabihin na isa lang ang gusto niya kung dalawa ang nagpapagulo sa mundo niya? Sino kaya ang mas matimbang sa puso niya? The arrogant Franco or the good man Marco?
