Inheriting her Grandmother's traits, Maria Lilliana Clavería is near from the word perfection. From her brown eyes that can capture you, her pointed nose just like how Spanish people has and her perfect cupid bow lips that every guy in Atok dreams of it's sweet taste.
If others will describe her, they would say she's perfect not because of the Spanish blood that runs in her but because of the hectares of Flower Plantation or the biggest Hacienda in Atok, Benguet was theirs. For her, her life is far from perfection, many girls may be jealous of the traits she has but neither will explain how much she is longing for the freedom those woman have.
Freedom o kalayaan, one word that urged Maria Lilliana from the House of Clavería to agree from her parents. And that is to marry the Guy her father is in debt with.
Never in her wildest dreams that she would agree in this kind of marriage. A marriage for convenience. And never in her wildest dreams that everything will change when she met this oozing hot Haciendero from Baguio.
