Nang mawalan ng pag-asa sa lahat ng paraan, gumawa sila ng isang desisyong babago sa kanilang buhay magpakailanman. Pumasok sa eksena si Ramil, ang kanilang tapat na kasambahay at biyudong ama ng tatlong anak.

Sa pagitan ng katapatan, pag-ibig, at mga lihim na nakatago sa puso, haharap sila sa isang pagsubok na maaaring sumira o bumuo sa kanilang mga buhay magpakailanman.

Hindi inakala ni Kayena na mawawala sa kaniya ang pagka birhen sa loob ng banyo ng eroplano at ang masakit ay nakuha pa ito ng isang estranghero! Pilit niya na sana itong ibabaon sa limot ngunit muli silang nagtagpo ng lalaki na walang iba kundi si Terrence Montero— ang lalaking gustong ipakasal sa kaniya ng ama pero, ito pala ang boyfriend ng matalik niyang kaibigan. Sa kabilang banda, para kay Terrence ay isa lang siyang babaeng gustong akitin siya para sa pera kaya labis siya nitong kinamumuhian. Ngunit sadyang mapaglaro ang tadhana dahil nalaman pa rin nito na siya ang babaeng nakaniig nito sa loob ng eroplano. “That night, it was you right? You are that girl.” he said in a low voice. It is not a question but a statement. Magagawa niya pa bang itago ang lahat kung ito na mismo ang nakatuklas sa totoo o patuloy niyang ipagdidiinan na hindi siya ang babaeng iyon sa kapakanan ng kaibigan niya?

Matapos tuluyang wakasan ang kanilang kontrata, nagsimula sina Lia at Adrian ng bagong buhay bilang tunay na mag-asawa kasama si Nico. Habang natututong bumuo si Lia ng sariling pangarap at negosyo, unti-unti naman niyang natuklasan ang mga pangarap at takot na matagal nang itinago ni Adrian. Sa kanilang bagong tahanan, mas lumalim ang kanilang pagmamahalan at nabuo ang isang tunay na pamilya. Ngunit sa pagkakataong wala nang kontratang nagbubuklod sa kanila, isang bagay ang naging malinaw: pinili nila ang isa’t isa hindi dahil sa pera, obligasyon, o kasunduan, kundi dahil sa tunay na pagmamahal.

Isang halik ang nagwasak sa plano mong pakasalan ang babaeng una mong minahal. Isang kontrata ang nagkulong sa akin sa mundong ikaw ang hari and I was nothing but your punishment. Pero paano nang ang babaeng ipinangako mong hindi mamahalin ay siya palang magiging kahinaan mo? Sa bawat away, asaran, at yakap na hindi dapat lumalim, nahulog ako sa lalaking walang karapatang angkinin ang puso ko. You made me feel chosen, Anton. You made me believe that maybe, just maybe, I was finally someone’s first choice. Hanggang bumalik siya. Ang babaeng nauna sa akin. Ang babaeng minsan mong gustong pakasalan. At bigla akong naging estranghero sa sarili kong love story. Tell me, Anton, was I ever your greatest love or just the woman who kept your bed warm while you waited for her return? Dahil kung kailangan kong mawala para mapagtanto mong mahal mo ako, sana hindi pa huli ang lahat. Sana ako pa rin, Anton. Pero paano kung sa pagkakataong piliin mo ako, wala na akong pusong maibibigay sa iyo?

For twenty-three years, Xylia Hera Rivera has lived with rejection. Raised by a man who constantly reminds her that she is a bastard, Xylia has learned to endure the pain and dream of one thing—to leave everything behind and build a life of her own. When she gets the chance to work in Manila as a household employee for the wealthy Gutierrez family, Xylia sees it as her escape. She doesn't expect her first day to begin with an argument—and a bite—with a cold, arrogant stranger. She certainly doesn't expect to discover that he's Clark Matthew Gutierrez, the billionaire CEO and heir of the mansion where she's about to work. Clark is used to getting whatever he wants. Xylia is the first woman who refuses to be intimidated by him. Their constant clashes soon turn into an attraction neither of them can ignore. But while Xylia is trying to escape her past, Clark is determined to keep her close. Then a secret from years ago resurfaces. Xylia discovers that her parents once signed a contract with the Gutierrez family for money—and that the choices they made have consequences that reach into her life. When Clark offers her a contract marriage, Xylia accepts, believing it will give her the security she needs. What she doesn't expect is to fall in love with the man she was never supposed to love. And Clark never expects that the woman he intends to keep by his side will become the one person capable of breaking him. But when Xylia discovers that Clark has been hiding the truth about her past, everything falls apart. The woman who spent her entire life running from rejection runs once again—this time from the man she loves.

At ngayong muli silang nagkaharap, determinado ang lalaki na patunayan sa kaniya na hindi pa tuluyang napuputol ang ugnayang pilit niyang tinatakasan... Sapagkat sa kabila ng diborsyo, itinuturing pa rin siya nitong asawa.
