Plot

Isabella del Castillo Landaeta is the daughter of multi-millionaire Fernando Andres del Castillo, owner of the country's largest international commerce consortium. However, as the only heir, she is less concerned with her father's businesses. Although she has several post-graduate degrees in Mathematics, Isabella is a loner who spends most of her time at her family's countryside ranch. This is because Isabella has always felt inadequate and unworthy due to the fact that her father has spent her whole life unfavorably comparing her to her late mother Amanda who he always refers to as the perfect woman and mother. Amanda passed away while giving birth to Isabella.

Concerned about the future of his business empire, Fernando Andres forces Isabella to begin working at his company so that she can begin to familiarize herself with the business that will one day become hers.
