In the past four years, Raki poured her heart and soul into one thing-her son, Aldrius. At 17, the life she once knew shattered, her dreams faded, and the future became uncertain. She had no one except her Grams on her side because her family disowned her because of disappointment. The child's father however, was a different plot - someone she never met again after the night of March 31st.
Now, 21, she is forced to return home and leave the quiet life she tried to build so hard for her, and her son in Madrid. However, when she comes home, she learns the painful truth that everyone tried to hide from her, and a very heart wrenching news-her best friend is dead. She died after coming back from visiting her in Spain four years ago. She felt the sense of responsibility to uncover the truth behind her death that leads her to the man she never expected to be him - the person that always piqued her son's interest, and the one her genes didn't even stand a chance with, the person with a "shining, shimmering, splendid" abs.
He is very real and not just a fragment of her past that she tried so hard to forget- the twist is? She thought he was just some stranger and also caught up that night, but all along he is someone she knew.
Torn between the guilt of being the last person her best friend visited before she died and the fear of him finding out about their child, Raki decides to finally face and dig the past she forcefully buried. She entered their home as a cook, however not only she uncovers the truth behind her best friend's death, she also uncovers the whole untwisted truth and reality in that mansion.
