Perfect Stranger Artinya

Mula pagkabata ay nakatatak na sa murang isipan ni Daviana Policarpio na si Warren Gonzales ang kanyang magiging asawa dahil sa naging kasunduan ng kanilang mga Lolo. Hinihintay na lang nila na maka-graduate siya sa kolehiyo para matuloy iyon. Ngunit sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon, at ng dahil sa mapaglarong kapalaran at panahon; kalahating taon bago mangyari ang plinano ng matatanda sa kanilang pamilya ay nalaman ni Daviana na mayroon pa lang girlfriend ang lalaking itinatangi at itinakda sa kanya. Hindi alam ng dalaga kung marapat bang ipagpasalamat niya iyon, dahil nang gabing matuklasan niya na may lihim na kasintahan si Warren ay iyon din ang gabing hindi inaasahang muling magsasanga ang landas nilang dalawa ni Rohi Gonzalez; ang anak sa labas at half-brother ni Warren na mula pagkabata nila ay natitipuhan na ng dalaga. Subalit, hindi niya pwedeng ipilit dahil ang sabi ng mga magulang nila ay si Warren at hindi si Rohi ang lalaking nakatakdang maging kabiyak niya at makasama hanggang sa kanyang pagtanda.  Susuwayin ba ni Daviana ang mga magulang upang tuluyang pagbigyan ang isinisigaw ng kanyang puso?

Aquel año en que ya no tenía salida, Carmen Beltrán entró junto a su madre a la Casa López. Sin identidad, sin un lugar en la familia, cualquiera podía pasar por encima de ella. Delgado López, en cambio, era intocable, distante... y, para colmo, de buen corazón. Siempre la protegía. Parecían hermanos, y todos los envidiaban. Nadie imaginaba que ese hombre correcto y contenido durante el día, por las noches entraba en su habitación. Con paciencia, la guiaba paso a paso... enseñándole incluso a desatarle la corbata. *** Carmen estuvo con Delgado durante cuatro años. Por fuera, obediente; por dentro, calculando cada movimiento, hasta que por fin logró escapar. Pero justo cuando cambió de nombre y estaba a punto de casarse con otro, Delgado apareció, aún cubierto de polvo del viaje. La encontró, la llevó de vuelta y la arrinconó contra la pared. —Carmen, no te estás portando bien, y eso no me gusta. Parece que tendré que... castigarte hasta que aprendas. *** Dicen que Delgado era el hombre más inalcanzable de Monte Celeste. Nadie sabía que, noche tras noche, Delgado se entregaba a ella sin reservas... y terminaba siendo su prisionero más dócil. Sabía que todo era un juego, y aun así decidía caer. Para retenerla, primero apostó su matrimonio... y después, apostó su vida.

During the holidays, I've worked my ass off just to whip up a feast filled with my wife, Willow Steele's favorite dishes. But soon, my mother-in-law pulls out a paternity test report and announces with a smile that the birth father of my daughter, Naomi Johnson, is actually Willow's childhood sweetheart, Luther Lloyd. Everyone bursts into laughter before saying teasingly that "no wonder Naomi looks so much like Luther". Willow's father even pats Luther on the shoulder while looking at him as though the latter were a part of the family. What stings my heart the most is that Willow is laughing so hard that she can barely stand up straight. So, that leaves her clinging to Luther while she taps Naomi on the forehead with a finger. "Go on, call Mr. Lloyd 'daddy.' He's your real dad, after all." Naomi, who has always kept me at an arm's length, rushes into Luther's arms without hesitation and starts calling him "daddy" sweetly. I fall silent for a moment as I watch everything unfold. Then, I draw to my feet and look at Willow. "Let's get a divorce." But Willow just chuckles icily in return. "Must you go that far? My mom was just joking around." When I'm about to leave, Willow turns to tell the others, "He's just being ridiculous. Once I give him the cold shoulder for a few days, he'll still beg me to return to his side pathetically." But what Willow doesn't know is that I've chosen to endure everything she's hurled at me out of love in the past. Now, I want nothing more than to leave her permanently.

My ex-fiancé made me do a blood test the night before our wedding. The next day, he threw the genetic report on my face and dumped me over defective genes. The reason was that the Zimmer family only wanted perfect heirs, and he said that I was not worthy. He broke off the engagement, and instantly married the girl-next-door with perfect genes. Five years later, he reappeared in the hospital, clutching his ill son. He saw my daughter who had similar rashes, and he thought I had given birth to his daughter in secrecy. Little did he know that my daughter had nothing to do with him and only had a mild seafood allergy. I would not be defined by the so-called defective genes again, while me and my daughter live happily and healthily, it was their turn to be destroyed.

My husband and his beloved mistress died together in a car accident. They left me with a pair of illegitimate children. Eighteen years passed in a blur. I poured my heart and soul into raising those children until, at last, they earned admission to Corvell University, the country's top university. But on the very day they received their acceptance letters, my 'dead' husband returned. And beside him stood his mistress. She clutched my husband's arm and beamed at me. "Thanks to your tireless care, my two sons finally made it into Corvell. If not for you, the two of us wouldn't have been free to live so happily together all these years..." Later, my husband demanded a divorce. He wanted to marry his mistress and reunite their perfect little family of four. I didn't cry, nor did I rage. I only smiled and said, "Sure."

While on a business trip, I stumbled into my brother-in-law, Julian Zeller, mid-act with a male colleague in a hotel parking lot. Furious, I blew the lid off his fake marriage and helped my sister, Yvonne Sutton, escape that scumbag. But after the divorce, she lost his financial support. She spiraled, blaming me for destroying her perfect marriage. She even killed me for trying to stop her from going back to him. Then, everything resets. I wake up, and there he is—slipping into the car while hugging the same man. I pocket my phone. This time, I won't ruin Yvonne's happy ending.
