Standing Long Jump

Sa loob ng mahigit kalahating dekada, tiniis ni Trixie ang malamig na pakikitungo ni Sebastian sa kaniya. Naniniwala kasi siyang kung mananatili siya sa tabi nito, maaaring matunaw rin ng pagmamahal niya ang nagyeyelong puso ng lalaki. At kung maaari... ay babalik na dito ang pagmamahal sa kaniyang tila nakalimutan na. But her patience was rewarded not with love—but betrayal and manipulation. Sebastian fell in love with another woman at first sight. Much worse? It's her half-sister that stole her husband. Binusog ng lalaki ng pagmamahal at kalinga ang babae na hindi na niya naibigay kay Trixie matapos ang gabing iyon. Hanggang sa dumating ang araw na naubos na ang pag-asa niya. Ang araw kung saan nakita ni Trixie kung paanong matagal na palang wala sa kaniya ang kaniyang sariling mag-ama. Doon na siya sumuko. Pinirmahan ang divorce papers, iniwan ang bahay nilang mag-asawa, isinuko ang karapatan sa anak, at kinalimutan ang pag-ibig na tila nilumot na ng panahon.  But suddenly, there's a sudden turn of events. Ang asawang inabandona siya noon, ngayon ay lagi nang nasa tabi niya. And when she demands a divorce?  He corners her and whispers, "Divorce? That would be impossible, Wife.”

“Huwag ka ng umasa na tatanggapin pa kita ulit. Dahil hindi ko masisikmurang magmahal ng isang tulad mong may dugong kriminal.” Si Rocky Bouchard ay isang ulila sa Canada na inampon ng mag-asawang Mary at Roen Bouchard noong sampung taong gulang pa lamang. Hindi nila alam kung sino ang tunay na magulang ni Rocky dahil wala rin naman itong maikwento sa kanila sa tuwing tinatanong nila. Kalaunan, naging legal na Bouchard si Rocky na siyang lumaki sa isang mayaman at respetadong pamilya sa Canada. Pagkalipas ng ilang taon ay isa na siyang successful na corporate lawyer. Sa hindi inaasahan, nahulog ang loob niya sa pamangkin ng kanyang foster mom na siyang nakatadhana na rin sa iba. Napagdesisyunan niyang ibaon na lamang sa limot ang nararamdaman at mag-focus sa career. Sa kabilang banda, si Cristianna Erica Rowanda ay lumaking breadwinner simula noong hindi na bumalik mula sa Canada ang OFW niyang ama. Wala na silang naging balita rito na para bang naglaho gaya ng isang bula. Dahil dito, kinailangan niyang magtrabaho para mabigyan ng magandang buhay ang pamilya niya. Sa kasamaang palad, siya ay napagbintangang magnanakaw ng pera ng kumpanya na siyang naghatid sa kanya sa rurok ng kahirapan. Wala siyang kapera-pera dahil ang araw na inaasahan niyang unang sahod niya ay nauwi sa pagkakakulong. Nang kunin ni Rocky ang kanyang kaso, nagawa niya itong ipanalo at patunayan ang kainosentehan ni Cristianna. Gayunpaman, pagkatapos ng dalawang buwan ay muli silang nagkita bitbit ang kani-kanilang problema—si Cristianna na hindi makahanap ng trabaho at si Rocky na pressured ng parents na magkaroon ng asawa. Isang kontrata. Dalawang taon. Nag-iisang krimen na akala nila ay nabaon na sa limot. Magagawa kaya nilang ipanalo ang kanilang pagmamahal kung gayong ang dugo na nananalaytay sa kanilang katawan ay siyang hahatol sa isang ipinagbabawal na pag-ibig?
