Maaga kasing namatay ang kanyang ama at naiwan siya sa pangangalaga ng kanyang Tita Miranda, kapatid ng kanyang ama. Ngunit ang hindi niya maintindihin kung bakit kailangan sa Tiyahin siya pinaalagaan ng kanyang ina. Sa tuwing sinubukan niyang lapitan ang ina, hindi nito ikinakaila ang pagkasuklam sa kanya. Harap-harapang siyang sinisisi ng kanyang ina sa pagkamatay ng ama niya. Hanggang sa masanay siyang kailan man hindi sa magagawang mahalin nito kahit anong gawin niya. Naging payapa ang buhay niya sa nakalipas na ilang taon sa poder ng kanyang tiyahin. But everything changed drastically for her when the dangerous Italian billionaire found her unconscious in the middle of the road. Thara forced to spend her days with a monster like Klajn Montefiore, known being the most ruthless man to ever exist, it was apparent that people feared him. Ngunit habang tumatagal ang pananatili niya sa mansyon ng binata, hindi niya magawang kamuhian ito. Because under that smug exterior is a heart he doesn't wanna show. One that was badly broken for almost decade. And a part of her wants to fix it for him before she leave. But can she do it without breaking her own in the process? She wants to understand him. But his goal is to break her. Lies, secret, betrayals, and heartbreak, Thara left in El Allegres carrying the Montefiore's heir.
