Addy Ortega, isang tunay na independent na tao, ayaw na inaapakan siya ng iba, babae man o lalaki, mayaman o mahirap. Gusto niya na pantay ang pagtrato sa bawat isa.
Isang lalake noon, napakamabait at mahinhin. Halos hindi siya makapagsalita dahil sa kanyang ayaw sa mga tao at madaling ma-drain. Palagi siyang may anxiety sa mga huling ng ibang tao. Siya ay isang introvert. Hanggang sa di inaasahang pagtatagpo nila dalawa, magkakasukatan ang pasensya at pag-ibig ni Gabriel Cabilion, isang introvert din. Ngunit, si Gabriel ang taong kinakatakutan ng buong angkan ng Cabilion. Sabi nga nila, iba daw magalit ang mga babait at tahimik na tao.
"I hate women that clumsy," mariing sinabi niya sa isang babaeng galit din sa kanya.
"Oh, you hate me? Then I hate you too! Feeling mo lang, 'no?"
Hindi napigil ni Gabriel ang kanyang galit at marahas na hinalikan siya, hanggang sa nagdulot ito ng kahalayan kay Addy.
"You are such a bad girl, my doll."
