Leila Ava Gutierrez Sullivan is a woman whose deepest desire is to earn the honor and love of her parents. Despite possessing beauty, wealth, and intelligence, there's a void in her life - the longing to be acknowledged and loved by her parents. Despite her relentless efforts to make them proud and leave a lasting impression, she continues to face disappointment.
However, her perspective shifts when she meets Mark Lienzo Ocampo Ender. Through him, she comes to realize that family isn't always the sole source of love and validation in our lives. As she falls for him, Leila makes a promise to herself to be the best girlfriend she can be for Lienzo. However, she soon discovers that receiving love can be just as challenging as seeking it. She begins to question whether it's difficult for others to love her, reflecting on her own struggles and emotions.
During Leila's journey, she learns that love is not always honest, and sometimes, the love we seek from others may not come as easily as we expect. It's also possible that when love does come, we won't be able to escape its hold anymore.
