OWEN GARCIA is the twin brother of RUSSELL ROSSELL (heir of the billionaire Theodore Rossell), kidnapped by NURSE GEMMA GARCIA. SHELLEY SILVER is a woman who dreams to be a novelist but received rejections one after another. Till she met and became friends with Russell Rossell who pretended to be an ordinary employee from the company of Theodore Rossel. He has a knack for writing and suggested that be the ghostwriter of Shelley and she readily agreed. Russel Rossell was hospitalized due to a car accident. That was the time Owen entered the life of Shelley, and pretended to be Russel Rossell. Like Russel Rossell, Owen also has a knack for writing novels, thus, Shelley wasn't able to know the difference between the twins. Gemma Garcia learned about Russell accident, and planned to use "her son" to get inside the Rossell Clan. Since he loved "his mother" Owen agreed to Gemma's plan. But they say, blood is thicker than water, hence, Owen felt pity for his twin brother when he met Joanne (acting as Russel Rossell, boyfriend of Joanne) and found out that Joanne is in relation with Brendon, the stepson of Theodore, who also masterminded the car accident of Russel. Thus, Russell Owen wrote a novel that divulged the crime of Brendon and requested Shelley to send copies to Theodore Rossell. Shocked, as he reads the book, Theodore ordered an investigation of his son's accident. And Brendon was sent to prison. The lives of Russel, Owen, Gemma, Shelley, and Theodore get tangled up till Theodore finds out that Owen is the twin brother of his son (by DNA). Now Shelley's Dilemma is who does she really love? Is it Russel Rosell who she loved the very first time she saw him or Owen, the mistaken identity of Russell Rossell?

“Pinili kong umalis para hindi ka mahirapang pumili at magdesisyon.” Lumuluhang sabi ni Via sa binata. Mapaklang ngumisi si Russell at nakakainsultong tumitig sa mga mata niya. “Do I need to thank you for that? Do you fucking want to hear me say, Oh, thank you for fucking ruin my life!” Napapitlag siya nang sigawan siya nito ngunit hindi siya nagpatinag. Alam niyang kasalanan niya kung bakit nito sinasayang ang buhay nito. “I don’t have any choice—” “Goddamn it, Via! Don’t fucking tell me that you don’t have a damned choice! Pinili mong iwan ako sa kabila nang labis kong pagmamahal sa’yo! You choose to hurt me, so stop telling me your bullshits and get lost!” Nakagat niya ang kanyang labi at pinigilang huwag mapahagulhol. Nasasaktan siya sa sinapit nito, ramdam niya ang matinding galit nito sa kanya. Magagawa niya pa rin bang gamutin ang sugat na tinamo nito nang iwan niya ito? Could she really have a chance to fix the bad boy’s, broken heart?

Para kay Belle hindi basihan ang mukha para mahalin mo ang isang tao. Sa kabila ng lahat na kasungitan sa kanya ng asawa na si Russell, at sa katakot-takot na mukha na meron ito ay pinatunayan ni Belle na handa niya itong mahalin. Para sa kanya ang pag-ibig walang pinipili. Guwapo man o pangit kung titibok ang puso wala ka ng magagawa kundi sundin ito. Pero matanggap pa kaya niya ito kapag nalaman ang tinatago nitong sekreto?

Aku pernah mencoba menggoda tunanganku yang tanpa tergoda oleh nafsu duniawi sebanyak 999 kali. Bahkan saat aku berdiri telanjang bulat di hadapannya, dia hanya akan bertanya apakah aku kedinginan. Awalnya, aku mengira dia hanya taat pada aturan dan baru akan menyentuhku setelah menikah. Namun, pada hari jadi kami, aku justru menemukan bahwa diam-diam dia telah memesan kamar di hotel terkenal di kota ini. Malam itu, aku datang ke ruang VIP dengan penuh harapan. Namun, aku justru menyaksikan dia dan teman masa kecilnya berciuman mesra di tengah sorakan orang banyak, seolah dunia hanya milik mereka. Setelah berdiri semalaman di depan pintu kamar, akhirnya aku menyadari satu hal, dia memang tidak mencintaiku. Setelah keluar dari hotel, aku menelepon rumah. "Ayah, aku nggak jadi menikah dengan Nathan. Aku ingin menikah dengan Darius!" Teh di mulut ayah langsung menyembur keluar. "Putriku Sayang, putra Keluarga Russell itu beberapa tahun lalu mengalami kecelakaan. Katanya, bagian bawah tubuhnya nggak berfungsi. Kalau kamu menikah dengannya, bukankah itu sama saja dengan menjadi janda hidup?" Aku menjawab dengan putus asa, "Punya anak atau nggak, sudah nggak penting lagi bagiku."
