Isabella "Bella" Mercado is the daughter of one of the richest businessmen in the country. But she's had enough of the luxurious, fake life she grew up with-people using her, the media always watching her, and being treated like a trophy. So she decides to disappear from the spotlight and start fresh in a quiet provincial town, pretending to be a normal student. With her loyal nanny, Yaya Beth, pretending to be her mother, Bella buys a modest house and enrolls in the local school.
But fitting in isn't so easy. Bella quickly becomes a target of bullying, especially from Trisha Santiaguel-the campus queen bee who hates competition. Making things worse, the most popular guy in school, Miguel De Vera-handsome, fair-skinned, masculine, and talented-starts picking on Bella too. But secretly, Miguel is head over heels in love with her. He just doesn't know how to show it, so he hides his feelings behind teasing and pretending to like Trisha.
As Bella tries to keep her identity hidden, new friendships form, hidden feelings grow stronger, and secrets start to unravel. With a twist of fate, drama, and lots of romantic tension-Bella may just find the normal life she always dreamed of... or something even better.
