He gets almost everything he wants in life. At his young age, his father already trusted him with the whole company, but there was a private property island that he wanted to get, but he couldn't get it because it was owned by his dad's friend. So when his father's friend asked for help to let his daughter be engaged with him, he immediately agreed. Zacky doesn't believe in love, so it's not up to him to marry anyone. He has never seen his daughter because she grew up in the province, but the desire to get that island pushed him to do that. Arranging a marriage with that girl is easy, but he is so shocked and challenged at the same time when he hears something about that girl. The person who will be engaging with him is a tomboy. "Seduce her and make her a straight woman, and if you do that, the island you want from Palawan will be yours." Those are the words that his father's friend said to him. Makakaya kaya ni Zacky na gawing tunay na babae ang mapapangasawa niya na isang pusong lalake?

Sa loob ng tatlong taong pagsasama ay tunay na pagmamahal ang ipinaramdam ni Agatha Dela Cruz-Ibañez sa asawa niyang si Daniel Ibañez. They were childhood friends kaya nang sinabi ng mga magulang nila na sila ay magpapakasal ay hindi siya tumutol doon. Bagkus ay tinanggap niya iyon ng buong puso dahil umaasa siya na mamahalin din siya ng kaniyang kaibigan. Nawasak ang ilusyon niya nang direktang sinabi sa kaniya ni Daniel na wala siyang maaasahan dahil may iba nang nagmamay-ari sa puso nito. Ang mas masakit ay gagamitin ni Daniel ang arranged marriage nila upang pagselosin ang first love nito. Agatha tried everything to make him fall for her. She became the best housewife for him by giving up her booming career. She stayed by his side kahit na ilang beses pa siya nitong ipagtabuyan. “Hinding-hindi ako papayag na magkaanak tayong dalawa. You are free to choose kung anong uri ng abort10n ang gagawin mo. Ang mahalaga lang sa akin ay hindi iyan mabubuhay upang tawagin akong ama,” iyon ang katagang binitawan ni Daniel noong nalaman nito na sinabi niya na siya ay buntis. Labis na nasaktan si Agatha sa sinabi ni Daniel. Sapat na iyon para tuluyan niyang bitawan ang kasal na siya lang ang may gusto. Isang mapait na ngiti ang ibinigay niya sa asawa, “Kung ayaw mo sa bata ay wala na akong magagawa. Tapos na ako sa responsibilidad ko sa iyo bilang iyong asawa,” sabi niya bago pa man niya hinubad ang wedding ring na matagal din niyang iningatan.

I WAS walking confidently on the red carpet. Today is the event of the Cohen Modelling Agency. The paparazzi immediately went after and lots of flash stroke in my eyes. I'm a bit nervous while walking in the midst of the red carpet. I chose the right path. This is what I want. Even though I chose my career and my unborn child, my heart was still empty. I opted to leave him and break up with him. I opted all of this that's occuring around me. Fame, money, and being a beautiful woman. Until I'd decided to walk inside the event. I grasp my clutch tightly when I saw how exquisite the ambience of it. The huge chandelier at the center and waves of people were chattering inside. I held up my chin and continue to walk and I saw Sophia walking towards to my direction. "You're just in time," she exclaimed. "Come with me..." "Okay..." Nakita ko yung pamilyar na lalaki na nakatayo. I felt my heart thumping so crazily. And butterflies were twisted in knots inside of my stomach when our gaze met. It's been a days... I haven't seen him. The last time I saw when I broke up with him inside of his office. My hands began to shudder in nervous. And his wife is there beside him. I smiled. This is what I want, right? To let go of him? "Oh, Miss Portugal," he acknowledged. "Good evening, Mr. Cohen..." We used to be sweet with each other. He used to snake his arms around my waist and whispering to me all the sweet things. But that was before... I knew we can't continue this kind of relationship. It is too forbidden. Too forbidden to taste because I'll get addicted to it again and again.

Adrianna is an ordinary college student who's trying to get through her life by working part-time. Isang araw ng pagdalaw niya sa kaniyang ina ay kinagiliwan siya agad ni Madam Polly, ang ina ni Axl Genesis. She offered her to work for Axl. Ang akala niyang masaya at simpleng unang araw sa trabaho bilang secretary ni Axl ay nauwi sa isang pangyayari na lubos niyang pinagsisihan.

In the end, she has to stay with Axl, in his condo unit so she can prove she is innocent. Axl made sure she's safe as a witness and secured as a suspect as well. And he made sure she stays with him while the investigation is on going. The investigation and Adrianna's work with him was a rollercoaster ride. Unti-unti niyang nakilala si Axl. She found out why Axl became aloof, she found out why it was hard for him to trust people. Hindi nagtagal, nalaman niyang nahuhulog na rin siya rito. With her status in life and Axl's wealth, alam niyang imposible silang dalawa. She left for Axl's sake, to save his name and his family. But Axl didn't want it that way.

Adrianna realized that she can do the same, that she can protect him and love him while they're fighting for each other. They are willing to prove that there's no such thing as meant to be, that there's no such thing as destiny, because you can be with someone as long as you want to be together. We create our own destiny.
