"Karena aku ingin melihatmu menderita setiap hari di depan mataku" ucap Ronald tepat di hadapan Nadin, itu seperti sebilah pisau yang menggerogoti lehernya, rasanya Nadin ingin menangis mendengarnya, tapi tidak semudah itu membuang-buang air mata untuk orang yang sedang emosi. 'kejam sekali! Harus semenderita inikah, anak dari wanita yang berselingkuh?' ucapnya dalam hati, ia menelan ludahnya dengan kesal. "Maaf, Pak. Saya tidak bisa!" Ucap Nadin tegas, tak ingin diganggu gugat.

Sa likod ng karangyaan ng Hacienda Avaristo, may mga lihim na itinago — mga sigaw ng kababaihang inapi, mga pag-ibig na pinagkait, at mga kasalanang sinilaban ng panahon. Isang dalagang kasambahay, isang panginoong marahas, at isang pag-ibig na ipinagbawal— mula sa abo ng kahapon ay babangon ang isang babaeng gagamitin ang bawat sugat bilang kanyang sandata. Ito ang kuwento ni Amarra Villasanta, ang babaeng minsang inalipin, ginahasa, itinapon, ngunit muling bumangon upang ibalik ang hustisya sa lupaing minsang kinasusuklaman niya. Isang epikong kasaysayan ng pagdurusa, paghihiganti, at kapatawaran, kung saan matutuklasan na ang tunay na “lihim” ng Hacienda ay hindi ang kasalanan ng nakaraan— kundi ang kapangyarihan ng isang pusong marunong magmahal kahit sa gitna ng impyerno.
