Iyon daw ay para mabayaran niya ang mga sakripsisyo ng pamilya sa pagpapalaki sa kaniya. Wala nang nagawa si Glory Belle sa naging plano ng mag-asawa. Sa kaunting halaga ay nagawa siyang ipagpalit ng mga ito nang ganoon kadali. Ang masaklap pa, hindi nga siya naibenta bilang babaeng nagbibigay ng aliw pero mas higit pa roon ang kinasasadlakan niya-- ang maikasal sa isang lalaking hindi niya at mahal na isang matandang halos dalawampung taon ang tanda sa kaniya---si Samson Aguirre na isa nang biyudo, kilala sa lipunan at mula sa mayamang angkan! May isang anak na lalaki ang matanda na nangangalang si Loid Xavier Favila Aguirre. Ang inaasahang pilegro ni Glory Belle/ Yzza sa kamay ni DOn Samson ay mas malala pa pala sa inaasahan niya! Ayaw kasi ng binata na ikasal ang Dad niya o may pumalit sa namayapang ina nito. Ginawa ng binata ang lahat para siraan siya sa Dad nito at dumihan ang pangalan niya. Paano kung ang pagnanais ni Loid na hindi maikasal siya sa Dad nito ay may mas malalim pang dahilan? Paano kung this time, si Loid na mismo ang gustong mapasakaniya ang babae? Paano nga ba ni Glory Belle haharapin ang katotohanang ampon lamang siya ng kaniyang Itay Ramon at Inay Miriam at ang solong dahilan kung bakit gusto siyang ipakasal sa DOn ay dahil din sa kaniyang pagkatao? Paano mahahanap ng isang nawawalang bilyonaryang ang daan pauwi sa mga totoong nagmamahal sa kaniya?
