Premise
Samantha lost her father at a young age in a car accident that spared her life but not his. In her time of grief, she met Dennis and the two became fast friends. It wasn't too long after that, they fell in love.
From childhood, Dennis had always loved Samantha, and Samantha loves Dennis as well. But there are powers that force them apart. On the night of her elopement to him, she is kidnapped by Carmela, who has never forgiven Dennis for not loving her. This sets the tone for a lifetime of revenge and retribution as the struggle for power, money and love bind these characters to each other's lives.
