Isabella Flores, isang dalagang pinambayad utang ng sariling ama. Bunga siya ng kataksilan at siya ngayon ang nagdurusa sa kasalan na ginawa ng kaniyang mga magulang. Buong buhay niya, ginawa siyang alila sa mansyon na mga Bustamante—ang legal na pamilya ng kaniyang ama.

Panibagong dagok sa buhay na naman kaya ang dadanasin ni Isabella o kabaliktaran ito sa inaasahan niya?
