La séptima vez que Simón Narváez faltó a nuestra cita para registrar el matrimonio, corté todo vínculo con él de forma radical. En las reuniones de amigos donde él asistía, yo faltaba deliberadamente. Cuando lo invitaron al acto del aniversario universitario, abandoné el lugar antes de su presentación. Si la empresa donde trabajaba optaba por colaborar con él, presentaba mi renuncia inmediata. Incluso en Nochevieja, cuando vino a mi casa para dar los saludos del Año Nuevo, inventé una excusa para no estar en casa. Lo bloqueé en el móvil, eliminé nuestros contactos mutuos, una ruptura total y definitiva. Ni yo lo contactaba, ni él tenía forma de encontrarme. Durante treinta años de mi existencia, había dedicado la mayor parte de mi tiempo a amarlo con devoción ciega, a cuidarlo con esmero. No fue hasta esa séptima vez en el registro civil, cuando una vez más me dejó esperando sola, que finalmente abrí los ojos. ¡Bastó ya de aquella situación! Preferí mil veces la soledad absoluta que seguir aguardando noche tras noche en un hogar vacío.

“Madeline, can we sit and talk in a civil manner?” He asked me in a distant tone. Those green eyes which used to harbour warmth for me, now seemed empty. I felt like I was talking to a complete stranger. “I have seen and heard enough, Logan. You asked me to keep our marriage a secret because you wanted us to focus on our studies and career. Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to wait for you in a hope that one day, my sacrifice will be rewarded and you’ll come back to me? And you paid me like this?” I accused him while tears flew uncontrollably from my eyes. “What nonsense! My husband would never marry someone like you.” Kate taunted me. “Madeline, we were never married officially. I had to agree to my grandfather’s last wish because I couldn’t refuse him. I always loved you as my best friend but there were never romantic feelings attached. I thought you were smart enough to understand when I broke all contacts with you. Kate is my wife. The sooner you accept, the lesser you’ll feel bad.” He said without any remorse. He crushed my heart under the brutal ridicule of his heartlessness.

Two years into her marriage, nakaupo si Ysabel Gomez sa Quezon City Civil Registry, hawak ang marriage certificate nila ni Rafael Jimenez. Pero sa isang iglap, naglaho ang lahat nang matuklasan niyang peke pala ang kasal nila. Every I love you’s… Every promise of forever… it was nothing but lies she had foolishly believed. Dahil natuklasan niyang si Rafael Jimenez, ang lalaking minahal niya ng anim na taon, ay kasal na pala sa isang propesor na mas matanda sa kanya. She felt her world crumbling into pieces. “I’m unmarried. Childless. And I’ll inherit everything,” mariin niyang wika sa abogado nang kaniyang ama. Sa unang pagkakataon, pinili niyang pakinggan ang sarili. Tahimik siyang naglaho sa mata ng lahat. Hindi para magtago, kundi para bumangon. At nang muling makita siya ng mundo, hindi na siya ang babaeng minsang niloko at iniwan. Siya na ngayon ang babaeng tinitingala ng lahat. Confident, elegant, at nakatayo sa tabi ng isang makapangyarihang lalaki na hindi siya tinrato bilang pag-aari, kundi bilang kapantay. Habang pinapanood naman siya ni Rafael, doon napagtanto ng lalaki kung ano ang sinayang niya. And as Ysabel smiled before the flashing cameras, surrounded by a world that once pitied her, a smirk plastered on her face. Her story wasn’t over yet. This was only the beginning.

Akala ni Seraphina Ramos, kaya niyang tiisin ang lahat para sa lalaking mahal niya—hanggang sa gabing nahuli niya mismo ang asawa niyang si Adrian Torres, isang makapangyarihang CEO, sa kama kasama ang babaeng tinaguriang “true love” niya, ang sikat na aktres na si Lyra Alcaraz. Doon tuluyang nabasag ang puso at dignidad ni Seraphina. Sa araw ng kanilang diborsyo, sa harap mismo ni Adrian at Lyra, ikinagulat ng lahat nang hilahin ni Seraphina ang isang estranghero papasok sa Civil Affairs Bureau at pakasalan ito kaagad. Sinabi nilang desperada siya, pabigla-bigla, at nakakatawa. Ngunit alam ni Seraphina ang totoo—isa itong kasunduang kasal, walang halong damdamin. O akala lang niya. Hindi pala ordinaryong lalaki ang napangasawa niya—isa siyang makapangyarihang negosyante na marunong maglaro ng puso at kapalaran. Unti-unti, nagbago ang mundo ni Seraphina sa ilalim ng kanyang proteksyon. Ngunit muli siyang guguluhin ng nakaraan nang bumalik si Adrian—hindi na ang malamig at walang pakialam na asawa, kundi isang lalaking handang bawiin siya sa kahit anong paraan. Ngayon, haharapin ni Seraphina ang pinakamahirap na desisyon: pagbibigyan ba niya ang CEO ex-husband na minsan nang winasak siya, o pipiliin na niyang tuluyang mahalin ang sarili o ang iba?
