01Plot

Erin Almeda comes from a rich family and is always known as "Princess". She breaks up with her geeky high school classmate Leonard Jamieson by pretending that she was only using him after a family crisis that required the help of the influential family of his high school rival Damian. Leonard is driven to attempt suicide, tormenting Erin with guilt. When Leonard wakes up, Erin is thrown out of his hospital room.

Seven years later, Leonard, now a wealthy executive, employs Erin, now a financially struggling housewife who is married to a now disreputable Damian. After Leonard initially orders her to do excessive tasks, they slowly rekindle their relationship before Erin explains why she left him. Learning of this and realizing how miserable her life has been since then, Leonard urges Erin to resume their love, which Erin is reluctant to do. Damian later discovers Leonard and Erin's renewed relationship and tries to kill Erin in an act of rage, only to be stopped by Leonard. Erin and Damian mutually break up peacefully afterward, and Erin becomes together with Leonard once again.
