Magulo pero mapagmahal na pamilya, yan ang meron si Maxine Elizabeth Xavier. Ang lumaking napapaligiran nang mga taong sobrang nagmamahal at nagpapahalaga sayo ay napakalaking ambag para sa iyong pagkatao. Wala na syang mahihiling pa, mula sa kilalang angkan, mapagmahal na magulang at mga kapatid, mabubuting kaibigan, kayamanan at ganda ay nasa kanya na. Hindi na nya kaylangan pang paghirapan ang attensyong ibinibigay sa kanya nang ibang tao. She's naturally born with a charm and winning, kaya inakala nyang hindi na nya kaylangan pang manlimos nito sa ibang tao. Pero lahat nang kanyang pinaniniwalaan ay gumuhong parang isang marupok na pader, dahil nang magsimulang tumibok ang kanyang puso ay doon lang nya napantanto na may mga bagay pala sa mundong ito na hindi mo makukuha nang pera lang, na may mga bagay pala sa mundong ito na hindi napapasayo kahit na lubusan mong iyakan, na may mga bagay pala sa mundong ito na hindi para sayo.
Hanggang saan nga ba nya kayang lumaban?
Hanggang saan ba ang kaya yang itagal sa isang pag-ibig na bawal?
Hanggang kaylan nya makakayang tiisin ang lahat?
Will she afford to lose everything and fight till the end?
Or will she finally let go and Surrender?

North is willing to take responsibility for her and the child, but one problem: there is no child. How long can Rylee's deception last until North finally discovers the truth?
