This show that launches the main villains: Gabriella (Teresa Loyzaga), a cunning and evil mother of Elizondo sisters, Lazaro (Dante Ponce), a ruthless syndicate leader and Gabriel (Wendell Ramos), a powerful henchman to make the Samonte brothers and Elizondo sisters hellish.

The story revolves around the Samonte brothers who set out to avenge the death of their youngest sister. They do this by making the Elizondo sisters fall in love with them.

Plot

Follow the story of the Samonte family: Juan (Jake Cuenca), Oca (Ejay Falcon), Cocoy (Joseph Marco), and Lyvia (Ingrid dela Paz). Juan, being the eldest, wanted to provide a better life for his family after their parents died. Little did Juan and his brothers know that Olivia was seeing a much older and wealthy man, Bernardo Elizondo (Ronaldo Valdez). When Bernardo's wife, Gabriela (Teresa Loyzaga), finds out about his affair, she hires men to kill Olivia. When Olivia was brutally raped and murdered, Juan and his brothers will stop at nothing to bring justice to her death.

The Samonte brothers will infiltrate the household of the Elizondos, the family Juan suspects is responsible for what happened to Lyvia. There, Juan will meet Gabriela — the powerful matriarch, and Norma (Arci Muñoz) — the mysterious eldest daughter who has unwittingly captured his interest.

The more he spends time with the family, the more he's sure of Gabriela's guilt. But her daughters, Norma in particular, will protect their family and their mother no matter what. Juan must think of a way to get closer to the truth he's so desperately seeking, and the only way he finds is to make Norma fall in love. As time passes they have to fight for their love under the dangers caused by Gabriel Salcedo (Wendell Ramos), Gabriela's illegitimate and Lazaro's(Dante Ponce) right-hand son, and tries to succeed but as Juan and Norma get married along with Oca and Sari (Ellen Adarna) and Cocoy and Jamie (Coleen Garcia), they suffered in the hands of Lazaro and Gabriel during their honeymoon and succeeds in killing Jamie. Lazaro and Gabriel kidnaps Oca, Sari, Norma & Juan and the rest including JD and Gabriel commands his henchmen to plant a bomb in the cave and they successfully destroyed the cave but failed because they got caught causing Norma to have an accident in order for her and Juan’s son to escape. As for Gabriela, she teams up with them to kill her son to stop his plan and kills both Lazaro & Gabriel in order to be safe. Norma is sent to the hospital to recover but as the doctors stated that Norma will die causing Gabriela to redeem her soul and regret her sins. At the hospital lobby, the Elizondos and Samontes are visited by a young image of the Elizondos father, Bernardo, and gives his daughter her life back and gives a chance of redemption of their mistakes, as a sign of Gabriela's sorrowful cries and hopes of a new hope. Two years later, they finally lived a peaceful life after all the struggles and hardships in the past years and Juan remembers his promise to his father for being the eldest he must be ready to protect his loved ones.

However, the timeslot was later announced as part of Primetime Bida evening block and finally aired on June 1, 2015, after the network decided to immediately end Inday Bote until May 29, 2015, due to low ratings and lack of support. The schedule time is before TV Patrol.
