Desperate to save Astorga, her café/studio/home, from her grandfather's wrath, Mattie sought help from her brother to change their Tata Bram's mind. Ngunit sa pangingialam lang ng kuya niya ay nadamay pa ito sa galit ng matanda. Now, Tata Bram gave the siblings two options. He will only retract his decision to demolish Astorga if: 1) Nathaniel can find a woman he would want to marry 2) Matina begs for forgiveness for beating up an investor's son The first option was absurd.

She doesn't want to apologize. She SHOULD NOT. And she has a solid reason not to. Pero paano na ang Astorga? It is her life, her home, and her bread and butter all in all. Ready na sana siyang lunukin ang prinsipyo niya. But when she saw Nathan look at Valerie Hechanova with longing, yearning and love in his eyes, pumihit ng 180 degrees ang plano ni Mattie. Maybe the first option is not so impossible afterall? Kailangan lang ng konting push ni Nathan. At para sa ano pang naging best sister siya kung hindi niya tutulungan ito. It would be hitting two birds with one stone. Nathan gets to be with his love, and she gets to keep Astorga. Her plan is watertight. Pinangalanan niya pa itong Project Valathan. The only remaining problem was, Enoch Irving Hechanova, Val's balikbayan cousin, is like a gum on her shoes. Hindi tuloy makaporma ang kuya niya dahil palagi itong nakabuntot kay Val. To eradicate the devastatingly handsome guy out of the scene, sapilitang isinangkot niya ito sa project niya. Now everything is set for Project Valathan. Pero iba atang project ang nangyayari dahil imbis na si Valerie ang mainlove kay Nathan ay mukhang siya pa ngayon ang nahuhulog kay Enoch. Hala!
