My grandfather is hit by a car, and his skull is shattered. I take the driver to court. That's when I find out my husband, Stuart Creed, who was supposedly abroad on a business trip, is suddenly at the hospital.

Drop the case right now, or I'll cut off all your credit cards and have your grandfather kicked out of the VIP ward!" He slams the door and storms out. Before that, he snarls, "Come home when you agree. Until then, forget about calling yourself Mrs. Creed!" While I'm out desperately trying to gather money for my grandfather's surgery, a team of lawyers contacts me. Turns out the patent my grandfather once authorized to Creed Group has expired. And now, I'm the new legal owner.

– Sra. Moura, após uma análise minuciosa, constatamos que há irregularidades na sua certidão de casamento. O selo está falsificado. A frase dita de maneira leve pelo funcionário deixou Olívia Moura, que viera solicitar uma nova via da certidão, totalmente atônita. – Impossível. Eu e meu marido, Lionel Guedes, nos casamos oficialmente há cinco anos. Por favor, verifique novamente... O funcionário fez nova consulta. – O sistema indica que Lionel Guedes está casado, mas você, de fato, consta como solteira. A voz de Olívia tremia quando perguntou: – Quem é a esposa legal de Lionel? – Mirella Soares. Olívia segurou firmemente nas costas da cadeira, esforçando-se para se manter em pé. A certidão de casamento foi entregue a ela, e Olívia sentiu que aquilo quase a cegava. Se no início Olívia suspeitara de um erro do sistema, ao ouvir o nome de Mirella... Todas as ilusões ruíram naquele instante. O casamento grandioso de cinco anos atrás, os cinco anos de relacionamento exemplar e intenso, o matrimônio do qual tanto se orgulhara — tudo era falso. Com a certidão falsa, sem validade jurídica, Olívia voltou para casa devastada. Estava prestes a abrir a porta quando ouviu vozes lá dentro. Era o advogado da família Guedes: – Sr. Guedes, já se passaram cinco anos. O senhor não pretende conceder à sua esposa o reconhecimento legal? Olívia parou, prendendo a respiração. Depois de um longo silêncio, a voz grave de Lionel ecoou: – Espere um pouco mais. Mirella ainda está batalhando no exterior. Sem o título de Sra. Guedes, como ela se manteria no competitivo mundo dos negócios? O advogado da família advertiu: – Seu casamento com sua esposa é apenas de fachada. Se ela mudar de ideia, pode ir embora a qualquer momento.

Dalawang taon nang naniniwalang legal wife si Isabel Cienne Lopez. Pero nang ipa-verify niya ang marriage certificate nila, doon niya nalaman ang totoo. Peke ang kasal nila ng asawa niyang si Joshua Casiño. Gusto niyang komprontahin si Joshua, pero may narinig siyang usapan sa study room nang puntahan niya ito. “Don’t worry, she still trusts me,” kampanteng sabi ng lalaki. “Good,” sagot ng babae. “Basta tandaan mo, ako ang legal wife mo.” Ang kausap nito? Si Sabrina Carpio. Ang dati nilang guidance counselor sa university na anim na taon ang tanda sa kanya. At doon bumagsak ang lahat-lahat para kay Isobel. Limang taon nang kasal ang dalawa, si Joshua at Sabrina. Ibig sabihin, ginamit lang si Isobel bilang shield. Siya ang pinakitang asawa sa publiko. Mas masakit pa, siya ang sinisisi kung bakit wala raw silang anak. Ang pinakamalala? Ang batang inampon nila ay tunay palang anak ng dalawa. Hindi nag-iskandalo si Isobel. Tahimik lang siyang tumawag sa abogado ng pamilya niya. “Attorney, single ako. No husband. No child. Lahat ng inheritance, sa akin lang.” “Are you sure?” “Yes.” At umalis siya nang hindi lumilingon. Akala ni Joshua babalik din si Isobel noong umalis ito. “She can’t survive without me, she loves me so much.” Pero ilang linggo lang ang lumipas, napabalita sa buong bansa ang isang engrandeng kasalan. Isang marriage alliance sa pagitan ng isang powerful tycoon at isang biglang lumitaw na heiress. Sa panonood ng TV, nanigas si Joshua. Si Isobel ang bride. Nakatayo siya sa tabi ng lalaking mukhang makapangyarihan, hawak ang kamay nito, confident at malamig ang tingin. “She is my wife,” sabi ng lalaki sa harap ng media. Sa pagkakataong ito, totoo na ang kasal ni Isobel. At doon lang na-realize ni Joshua na hindi pala siya kawalan kay Isobel. Siya ang iniwan, at siya itong maghahabol sa "asawa" na niloko niya ngunit hindi na niya maaabot pa.
