Steve Harrington

does not accept her humble reality—or would you accept it? (Depending on your ambition.) Her parents and her first love supported her studies, but she believes money is the only way to never be trampled on again. Now she's dating Steve Harrington, a young, hardworking, kind-hearted doctor who truly loves her. But worries about his slow pace: Steve works hard day by day, but he's still building his career and doesn't have the status she desperately craves. Her so-called friends Tommy and Carol—more Nancy Wheeler's friends, really—envious and cruel, betray her: at a gathering, they reveal everything in public, shouting about her poverty and all her lies. feels her world crashing down; that humiliation is what she hates most in life. Then Billy Hargrove appears: an immensely rich, arrogant guy who pulls strings and gets whatever he wants with money and power. Now is torn between two paths: • Will she have the patience to wait for Steve—her loyal, faithful, very hardworking doctor who always brings her flowers and teddy bears—to climb his way up little by little and give her a decent life built on love? • Or will her impulsiveness and thirst for revenge push her to rise quickly, choosing Billy regardless of the cost? Her only best friend is Nancy Wheeler: she comes from a wealthy family and has been pampered all her life, but she never discriminated against her or judged her for having nothing. However, Nancy's heart is also tangled: she really likes Steve, but at the same time she's attracted to another doctor, Jonathan, and doesn't know who to choose. But later on, life will surprise her: she'll meet Robin Buckley, an heiress with immense loyalty, who doesn't care about status or appearances, and who will become the true friend who will never betray her. Now must decide: sincere love that takes time to arrive, or power obtained at any cost? Will her fear of being humiliated again allow her to see what she really deserves?
