But one thing Ramone knows is that a hustler is nothing without a woman by his side, so he pushes him to find a rider to make his wife before he can take his place as a leader in the streets. Diego agrees for the sake of earning the position that he was born to take on but when he meets a certain woman, things don't quite turn out the way he planned it. Christina isn’t the least bit glamorous and doesn’t give money so much as a second glance. The only thing on her agenda is caring for her elderly mother and working to provide for them both without any help. Unfortunately, Ramone isn’t the only parent who wants the best for his child. Regina, Christina’s mother, urges her to try to win Diego's heart in order to solidify their happiness. Christina isn't having it but she later agrees but her mother's plan backfires. When Christina discovers that she's not the only one fighting to be by Diego's side, will she fight or will she fold? Can she make him see the good in having less and not too much? Or will Diego throw away any intention of marrying to stay the bachelor that he loves being? Though these questions are answered, there are just too many people who hold knives, ready to either stab Diego in the back for his money… or slit Christina’s throat for the title she’s striving to earn.
