Mikaela or Mikay, as what friends call her, grew up a spoiled brat with a silver spoon in her mouth. Her mom died when she was still young. Having been an only child, she has always been daddy's little girl. At the age of 21, she still enjoys a carefree life with all the glitz and glamour of being a rich socialite. For her, she will never get tired of getting a huge sum of allowance from her dad who currently has a high profile job at Dela Rosa Empire, Inc., one of Forbes Top 10 Richest Companies in the world. For her, life is always good... But things changed unexpectedly when her dad was suddenly fired by Gino Dela Rosa, the heir to the throne of the company, with reasons of embezzlement/corruption. Mikaela cried foul because she believes Gino only did that for personal reasons and she will do anything in order to bring back the dignity of her beloved father even if she knows that the past will come back haunting her... A past full of bittersweet memories between two young couples in love back in the most romantic places of Japan and New York... Hmmm, it seems like there's more to this story than meets the eye...
