Working
1/2
Celyn Buenaventura was an ambitious and kind working-class girl
living in Cebu with her widowed mother, Theresa
Apolinario. One day, she received an acceptance letter from the
University of the Philippines Diliman, but Theresa was
furious and refused to let her go. Celyn thus travelled alone to
Manila, and upon arriving was employed by the owner of a
carinderia, who allowed her to sleep in the eatery. On the first
day of school, Celyn met Margaux Marasigan, the daughter
of Julio and Beatrice Marasigan, owners of the famous Memorata
shoe company. Margaux lived the luxurious life of an
heiress, and Celyn looked up to her in admiration. Celyn also
met her friends, Ethan Castillo and Liam Lagdameo; she and
Liam were initially irritated with each other and she remembered
Ethan from a childhood incident where he seemingly
saved her life. Celyn and Margaux eventually became bestfriends
and Celyn found out that Ethan and Margaux were
lovers. Margaux may have led a life like a princess, but she was
often concerned about her mother's strictness. Margaux
follows everything Beatrice says, but she knows that her family
is against Ethan. They kept their relationship a secret. Celyn
found out that Liam has a lifelong crush with Margaux, which was
his bestfriend. They promised not to tell anyone when
Liam also found out Celyn likes Ethan. Beatrice showed great
dislike to Celyn because she believes Celyn is changing
Margaux, while Julio defended Celyn. Theresa decided to moved to
Manila with her father, Zacharias, and was found by
Julio, who confronted her and asked where she took his real
child. Theresa tried to hide Celyn from Julio, but they already
met each other.
When Margaux and Ethan decided to elope, they were thwarted by
Beatrice after Celyn informed her of the escape
attempt. Margaux couldn't believe Celyn would betray her, and
their feud began. Ethan tried to get Margaux back, but
she denied their relationship, leaving Ethan lonely and
depressed. Celyn and Ethan became closer together and Ethan
confessed his feelings for Celyn. Margaux longed for Liam's
company, but Liam always tried to defend Celyn whenever
Margaux taunted her. Celyn was hurt at how Margaux treated her.
Beatrice, who was really Theresa's maternal half -sister
through their mother Yolanda, found out that Julio and Theresa
were meeting each other. Infuriated, she lashed out atTheresa and
confrontations ensued. Julio then revealed to a shaken Celyn that
she was actually their missing daughter, and
Beatrice immediately regretted hating her.
Beatrice remained opposed to Theresa, and legal issues about who
gets Celyn started. They agreed that Celyn will stay in
Beatrice's house for the weekdays and Theresa's at the weekends.
Now graduated, Celyn and Margaux's feud intensified as
Margaux became more confident, determined to destroy Celyn who
bested her by becoming vice-president at
Memorata. Margaux thought she loves Liam and craves for his
company, and Celyn forgives Ethan, after a dispute during
their graduation. Celyn remained angered at Liam, and Liam
confessed his feelings to Celyn. A jealous Margaux tried to win
Liam back. Theresa's cousin, Oscar, has flashbacks of Theresa's
pregnancy; when the midwife delivered twins, he decided
to kept it a secret. The original plan was that Beatrice and
Julio raise the child after its birth, but Theresa refused, saying
that
she carried the child and was thus its mother. After Theresa
gave birth, Oscar took one child and gave it to Beatrice as
promised. It was revealed that Celyn and Margaux were the twins
delivered of Theresa, and Zacharias admits to havingengineered the
exchange, adding he did so to keep the peace between the two half
sisters. Margaux's hatred towards
Celyn became more relaxed but dangerous; she is a part of the
family after all.
Mio Buenaventura, who was Theresa's deceased husband, is
revealed to have faked his death and now seeks revenge.
Mio shot Julio, sending him into a coma, and while waiting on
him in hospital, Celyn and Margaux reconciled and prayed
for their father's recovery. Julio woke up and was discharged,
but Mio still threatened them. Theresa eventually realized that
Ethan's friend, Diego Medina - who had become close to her when
she went back to university was Joshua, her long-lost
firstborn whom Mio had spirited away years before. Driven by
guilt and grief, Theresa tried to get Diego back. Celyn and
Ethan spied around Mio's house, trying to find evidence
confirming their theory of a link between him and Diego. Mio
caught them, allowing Ethan to escape and holding Celyn hostage,
torturing her repeatedly. Mio asked for an exorbitant
ransom from Lucas Elizalde, Beatrice's father, who was Mio's
employer and thus the mastermind. Lucas, who wanted Mio
dead lest he be implicated, agreed and sent him the money
through Theresa.
In the rescue operation, policeman fired at Mio while Diego
escaped, taking Celyn with him to an abandoned kitchen.
Panicking, Diego randomly fired his gun, causing several

Margaux tried to save Celyn from the flames, but both were
eventually rescued by Liam, while Mio was placed under
hospital arrest. Lucas planned Mio's escape attempt because
Diego had blackmailed him. After having a happy reunion,
Liam proposed to Celyn, which she accepted. They all learned
that Mio had escaped, and he visited Theresa again,
stabbing Liam three times and killed before disappearing once
more. Beatriz then planned to flee to Singapore for their
safety, and she finally reconciled with Theresa one night,
amidst hugs and tears. Margaux, Theresa, Celyn and Beatrice
were then kidnapped by Mio and Diego. Lucas, who had gone to
hiding with the two men after being exposed, saw
Beatrice and he text Yolanda on their location. When police
reinforcements came in, Mio ordered Diego to shoot his own
mother, which he refused to do after a nervous breakdown.
Angered, Mio tried to wrest the gun from Diego, and after a
