Challenges, pains, heartbreaks. These are inescapable things that every person would experience in reality. Sinusubok tayo ng iba't-ibang uri ng sakit para malaman kung gaano tayo katatag at kung gaano tayo tatagal sa mga bagyo na maaaring humagupit sa ating buhay. Si Millicent Cortejos, isang dalagang nagmahal at nasaktan. She's in love with the guy whom she bestowed everything she could. Ngunit mayroong isang bagay na hindi niya kinayang ibigay kay Nigel at iyon ay ang katawan niya. Why? Because, she dreamed to be a virgin bride. Ngunit paano kung ang inakala niyang prinsipyo na matatag at hindi mababali ninuman ay napatumba hindi lang ng taong minahal kundi pati na rin ng taong kinaiinisan niya buong buhay niya? What would happen to her life after that night... that night she gave up her body to the guy she hated most? And how would she deal in life if the guy she loved considered her as a venal woman now? Ang kapal naman ng mukha ni Nigel pagkatapos siya nitong gaguhin at pagtaksilan. Ngayon ay titignan siya nito bilang madumi at bayarang babae? Totoo. Ngunit nagawa niya lang naman ito dahil sa matinding pangangailangan sa pera at dahil na rin sa sakit na naidulot ng lalaki sa kanya. Tinulungan lang siya ni Phoenix Dela Vega para mapasakamay ang halaga ng pera na kailangan niya. Ngunit bakit sa lahat ng tao ay si Phoenix pa? Bakit siya pa?
