Synopsis
editHow far will you go to get back something you think is rightfully yours? What will you do when your family's riches are inherited by someone you don't even know?
Brandi Dela Paz has made it her mission to reclaim the inheritance that is supposed to be hers. She will have to make the heir Milosebio "Milo" Kiping fall in love with her.
Before her father Vino died, he decided to correct his mistakes by giving everything that he owns to the son of his best friend Jack, whom he betrayed from way back when he kept and claimed the winnings from a sweepstakes ticket. His family lived a luxurious life, enjoying a fortune that isn't rightfully theirs, thus he made sure he can give back to Jack what he stole when the time of his death arrives.
Unexpectedly, Brandi did not like her father's revelations and is determined to fight for her right to the money and the family's company.
Will she succeed in her tricky and deceitful plan? Will she hit the jackpot and reclaim the fortune? Or will she give it all up and instead choose Milo's heart as a consolation prize?
