1. WHY did Maricris left her well-off life in the city?
Maricris doesn’t run away to find her biological mother at first. She wanted to run away because her grandfather wanted her to marry the man she doesn’t like. But when she accidentally found a letter from her mother, she got an idea of leaving them.
And when she finally meets her mother, she had learned the truth about her. Maricris’ mom is sick and she wanted to make-up the lost times together. She finally found her home in Del Carmen.

A once determined boy encountered a princess in the life of Marie Cristelle. They fall in love despite the differences of there status. But Maricris grandfather found out about their relationship. He told Francis to live her granddaughter alone because he is not worth for Maricris love. He is willing to fight for her. But the devious grandfather ordered to kill his father in an ambush.
Out of his rage and to get even, he dumped his only granddaughter in the most hurtful way he could. There is nothing in him but hate to family that caused him misery. He studied hard to reach his dreams and to continue the lineage of his father.
3. After knowing what happened before, what will Maricris do?
When Maricris mother died, she got the chance to talk with her mayor boss. And when she found out the truth, she really got frustrated. Maricris went back to her grandparents to confront her grandfather. But her grandfather denied the accusations. He told her that he didn’t do anything. He just wanted Francis to stay away from her.
Maricris wanted to prove Francis that his grandpa is innocent. She started investigating about the incident five years ago. But all the evidence pointed out to his grandfather.
Francis wanted justice for his father. But the cruel old man doesn’t want to give it to him. He killed himself even before executed for the crime he has done. But Francis as a determined man wanted to compensate for the debt. And Maricris will be the payment for it.
He wanted her to stay with him for the rest of her life. Because his love for Maricris is greater than the rage in his heart.
