Prologue

Congressman Ferdinand Alexander Marcos; wealthy, personable, attractive, gorgeous, clever, and the public's favorite.

What more could he possibly want?

Oh, Dr. Franchesca Ilocos Conjuanco, his sweetheart, who he subsequently discovered was the daughter of his family's number one political foe. Worst of all, she abandoned him on the day he was going to propose, leaving him to protect the most important person in her life from his family.
