Ingrid Gonzales is the younger sister of Gabriella Gonzales and the exact opposite of Gab's mother. Gabriella, Gab's mother is kind, humble and seem contented with their life in the farm but not Ingrid. She's sophisticated, materialistic and has a high ambition in life. She wants a city life that's why when given the opportunity to study abroad, she immediately grabs it. She worked hard day and night just to support her studies and living expenses. Living alone was so hard but she was able to bear it because she promised herself that she won't go back to the kind of life she has in the farm. After graduating in college, she landed a job in a conglomerate company as a marketing specialist. Everything she dreams off is within her reach—a stable job, a place to live—not just any place but a condominium unit in one of the most luxurious building in the city, a car and the capacity to buy anything she wants. But she feels incomplete. In one way or another, she misses her family. But her longing for love and family is somewhat filled with her greediness for fame, money and career especially when she met, Antonio Ibarra Montenegro III. The sole heir of Montenegro Group of Companies. Upon their first meet up on a charity ball, Ingrid was hooked by his charisma that she promised that he's the perfect man for her. Knowing Ingrid's personality, she does everything just to get what she wants. She stalked him on social media. Until one day, she went to a coffee shop where Antonio was having a business meeting. She sits from afar but has already came up with a scheme to caught Antonio's attention. She bought a coffee and walks toward him. As he walks towards the door, he accidentally hit Ingrid and spills the coffee on Ingrid's dress because Antonio is so busy talking to someone in the phone. Acting hurt. Antonio was so sorry and apologetic about what happen. From then on their relationship grows a bit special but not for Antonio. Because at the very beginning, he loved someone else and the kind of relationship they have with Ingrid was just merely for a friendly relationship.
However, Ingrid didn't know about this—she didn't know that Antonio loves another woman—and that woman is her dear sister, Gab's mother. Until one day, Ingrid follows Antonio secretly. She saw he was hugging someone—a woman. She feels betrayed but what makes her even furious is knowing that the woman Antonio was seeing secretly is her elder sister. She's hurt although she don't have any right to feel so because Antonio had already draw a line between them at the very beginning. But because she don't want to lose anything especially to her sister, then came all the schemes she does just to separate the two. She feels like fate is on her side especially when she knew that Gabriella's status is not accepted in Antonio's family.
Antonio plans to leave everything behind—his name, wealth, fame and wanted to start a new life with Gabriella but it seems like it was not meant to be because Ingrid spills Antonio's plan to his family. Upon riding the car swiftly, he was being followed by a bunch of men. He droves the car so fast and was focused on how to escape that he didn't notice a raging car approaching on the other side—losing its brake. He wanted to avoid it but the situation was already out of control. Then he died immediately while Gabriella was sent to a nearby hospital since the baby on her womb was seem to be in critical situation. After giving birth to her daughter, she died kissing her head as she saves her last breathe to see her. That's why Gab was ahead of due date when she was born but this wasn't a reason for her to grow as a normal child just like any other children.
While on the other hand, Ingrid was also in pain. She can't believe that all her efforts turns into ashes. At the bar, she cried and drinks until midnight.
