Psalm 23:6

After running away from her wedding, Mariam finds refuge in a beautiful beach resort in Quezon. Hanggang sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon ay nakabangga niya si Stanley, ang tagapagmana ng isa sa mga sikat na kumpanya sa bansa. Dahil sa isang misunderstanding ay nasampal ni Mariam si Stanley. Takot na baka malaman ng mga magulang kung nasaan siya kapag idinemanda siya nito, she agreed to have a contract marriage with him. It’s also for their own benefits upang hindi na sila maobligang pakasalan ang mga taong pinipilit sa kanila ng mga magulang. It’s only for 6 months and will be a fake wedding. However, a fake wedding comes with a fake relationship as well. Kailangan nilang mapaniwala ang lahat na mahal talaga nila ang isa’t isa to make it worth it. Ngunit as they spend time with each other, their pretense slowly becomes REAL… They find themselves truly, madly, deeply in love with each other. But would they get their happy ending easily knowing na may mga taong hindi makakapayag na mangyari ito? At kung magtagumpay man ang mga ito, is there a chance they find each other again and rekindled the love na sobra nilang ipinaglaban noon? No one can tell what the future holds for the both of them, but one thing is certain… LOVE never lies…

Synopsis : Eniko : Mon amour a un prix. Bénin, de nos jours. Eniko, 23 ans, voit son destin basculer du jour au lendemain lorsque son jeune frère cause accidentellement la mort du fils cadet de la puissante famille Mayala. Pour apaiser la colère des Mayala et laver l’affront, la tradition exige une réparation : un sang pour un sang. La famille d’Eniko, impuissante face aux pressions, accepte l’ultimatum : elle devra épouser Mayala, l’aîné de la famille, et lui donner un enfant en *remplacement* du défunt. Un mariage forcé, un corps monnayé, une vie sacrifiée sur l’autel de la coutume. Pourtant, Mayala n’est pas l’homme qu’elle imaginait. Rebelle, insoumis, il méprise les obligations familiales et semble aussi piégé qu’elle dans ce pacte absurde. Entre haine, résignation et désir de liberté, leurs vies s’entrechoquent. Mais quand les sentiments interdits s’en mêlent, tout se complique. Peuvent-ils briser les chaînes de la tradition, ou leur amour aura-t-il, lui aussi, un prix à payer ? Une histoire déchirante entre devoir et désir, où l’amour et la vengeance se disputent un cœur en exil. --
