Growing up with her evil-like parents, Maria Arabella Cortel wasn’t able to do anything when she had to pretend as Maria Renee Garcia, the girl that was promised to marry a Villacorta. She was forced to change everything. Her hair. Her way of speaking and her way of styling clothes. She basically stole her identity.
