Her dreams would be pursuing fashion design and modeling, a married life with the one she truly loves, and a peaceful countryside life. In order to change her perfect and stable future, she had to do whatever it takes to subtly change her path. The first and easiest thing she'll do would be to avoid the arranged marriage at all costs, and that is when Roscoe Del Fuente comes into the picture.
But this setup has already failed from the start.
