With her, Claver, and a few loyal friends by his side, Clever set out on his path of vengeance. His way of revenge was not merciful, but cruel and bloody—the same way his family had been killed.

Tatlong taon. Three years of hell. Ganoon katagal tiniis ni Maria ang isang loveless marriage sa piling ni Javier Elizalde. Sa mata ng cold-hearted CEO, isa lang siyang desperadang gold digger na humahadlang sa kaligayahan nito. Pero nagbago ang lahat nang ma-aksidente si Javier.
