Hanggang sa isang araw, isang nakakagulat na katotohanan ang gumising sa kanya—ang tagapagmana ng pinakamayamang korporasyon ay kamukhang-kamukha ng lalaking minahal niya, pinakasalan niya, at tinawag na kanya. Kung ang lalaking mahal niya ay may tinatagong pagkatao… Magbabago rin ba ang pag-ibig na kanilang binuo?
