Sa edad na dalawampu’t dalawa, mag-isa na lang sa mundo si Alina Torres. Maaga siyang naulila sa ama, at iniwan naman siya ng sariling ina para sumama sa ibang pamilya. Wala na siyang ibang mapupuntahan kundi ang taong kinatatakutan niya noon pa man—ang kanyang ninong, si Sebastian Villalobos, isang makapangyarihan at mayamang negosyante na kilala sa pagiging malamig, istrikto, at isang taong walang inuurungan. Ngunit sa ilalim ng malamig nitong anyo ay ang lalaking handang akuin ang responsibilidad na alagaan at ipagtanggol ang inaanak. Hindi niya alam kung paano tatanggapin si Alina sa buhay niya, lalo na’t habang lumilipas ang mga araw, hindi na inosente ang kanyang nararamdaman para rito. Samantala, si Alina naman ay nahahati sa pagitan ng takot at pagtitiwala. Takot, dahil alam niyang mahigpit at mapanganib ang mundo ng kanyang ninong. Pagtitiwala, dahil siya lang ang nag-abot ng kamay sa oras na lahat ay tumalikod sa kanya. Sa pagitan ng mga lihim, pangamba, at damdaming pilit nilang itinatanggi.

Aku dan suamiku pergi mendaki gunung. Tak disangka, suamiku mati keracunan setelah melahap buah liar yang aku petik. Saat pulang ke rumah, aku langsung didatangi oleh sepasang ibu dan anak. Aku baru menyadari suamiku bukan hanya memberikan mereka rumah dan mobil, tetapi juga terlilit utang dalam jumlah besar. Aku bahkan mengeluarkan semua tabunganku untuk membayar mereka. Demi merawat ibu mertuaku yang sakit parah, aku mengambil tiga pekerjaan dalam satu hari. Aku bekerja dari fajar hingga senja. Bahkan, hanya berani makan nasi putih saja. Pada akhirnya, aku jatuh sakit dan dirawat di rumah sakit karena kelelahan kronis. Ibu mertuaku meminta dokter untuk menghentikan pengobatanku. Di saat aku sekarat, suamiku datang mengunjungiku sambil merangkul ibu dan anak itu. Dia melemparkan uang sepuluh ribu kepadaku. "Terima kasih sudah merawat ibuku selama ini." Aku baru sadar kalau suamiku memalsukan kematiannya demi bersama cinta pertamanya dan juga anak haramnya. Saat aku membuka mata lagi, aku sudah kembali ke hari di mana aku mendaki gunung bersama suamiku.
