Si Monique Gabriel ang nag-iisang apong babae sa buong angkan ng Torralba dahilan kung bakit nasasakal siya sa atensyong nakukuha sa pamilya. Bukod pa roon ay tanyag rin ang angkan niya dahil sa halos sampung dekadang alitan laban sa mga Villegas. It was always the Torralba versus Villegas. Nang magkaroon siya nang pagkakataon na lumayo sa pamilya ay agad niya iyong sinunggaban. Lumuwas siya ng Maynila at doon nagtapos ng kolehiyo at nakahanap ng trabaho bilang editor-in-chief ng sikat na magazine at hindi bilang Torralba heiress. Pero paano kung sa pagbabalik niya ay nalaman niyang kailangan niyang magpakasal sa isang Villegas para tapusin ang alitan ng kanilang angkan?
