Clarissa Rosales is a woman who was born in destitution. Ever since she was a little girl, she wanted to find a way to leave poverty behind and she wants to do it fast. While she was growing up, she became more and more attached to her rich godparents, Monina and Ralph Gardamonte. The rich couple were the former employers of Clarissa's parents. Clarissa's father was killed when he saved Monina from thieves. Because of this, Monina is eternally grateful to the family and became the godparents of newly born Clarissa. Because of this relationship, Clarissa gets a taste of life in pure luxury, unlike the life she has at her home in the slums. This closeness also made Monina's only daughter, Therese, jealous of all the attention Clarissa is getting. Monina's brother Nick, also sees Clarissa as an opportunist. Clarissa does not realize that she is beginning to alienate her mother, Naty, and her elder sister, Nancy. Clarissa also used her childhood friend, James. She knows he likes her very much so she led him on by making him believe she loves him, but in reality she just uses him because he is studying business and she sees him as her way of leaving the slums, but when he stops his education because of financial problems, she dumps him just like that.
Clarissa starts to notice Therese's boyfriend, Daryll. She likes him because he has many connections at high society and views him as her passport to meeting influential people. Monina disapproves the relationship of Daryll and Therese because Daryll has a negative reputation. Clarissa told Monina that the two are still seeing each other so Monina broke the two up. Therese is furious with Clarissa. One night, they had a private encounter: a heated argument which triggered Therese's heart disease. Instead of helping, Clarissa just walked away and let her drown in the pool.
