Ten years ago, the Harrington family went through a home invasion. My mother, a maid, shielded Liam with her life. Holding my hands tight, Liam promised, "Andrea, don't worry. I'll protect you forever." I believed him. Our bond grew naturally, and we had a beautiful daughter together. Then, she was diagnosed with leukemia. In her last days, all she wanted was to spend one birthday with her dad. I called him, desperate to make it happen. "Millie doesn't have much time left. All she wants is one birthday with you. Can you come?" His voice on the other end went icy. "Really? This your latest stunt? Using your dead mom wasn't enough, now it's our daughter for pity? Disgusting." I tried to deny it, but he cut me off. "Don't mess with her head. Learn from Vivian—she's got a real heart." That night, our daughter passed away. Later, Vivian posted on social media: [Finally taking that couples' trip someone promised me!] I didn't scream. I didn't cry. I just texted Liam: [We're done.]

Wanted: Mayaman, matulungin, at mamamatay na... sana. Joke lang ‘yon ng kaibigan—pero ang ending? Natagpuan ni Jenica ang sarili sa harap ng pinakamayamang lalaki sa siyudad: si Alexander Fuego, nasa wheelchair, naghihingalo, at nag-alok ng kasal na parang promo lang sa mall: "Marry me now, and inherit everything when I die." Siyempre, sino ba naman ang tatanggi sa instant yaman? Pero may problema: Hindi ito namatay. Ilang taon na ang lumipas, buhay pa rin si Alexander Fuego—fresh na fresh, at parang si kamatayan pa ang natigok sa halip na ang lalaki. Kaya tumakas si Jenica, dala ang sikreto: buntis siya sa tagapagmana ng Fuego Empire! Fast forward, balik bansa si Jenica. Mayaman na rin. Confident. Glamorous. Pero—wait lang. Si Alex? Gumaling na, mas hot pa, at may fiancé? Excuuuse me? Buhay pa siya, pero may balak na itong magpakasal sa iba? Game na. Pupunta si Jenica sa engagement party. Hindi para bawiin si Alex. Hindi para manira. Okay fine... maybe a little.
