Unrequited Feelings

Lauren Cordelia "Lia" worked as a housekeeper in Aldridge Hotel and Resort in Buenavista, a coastal town where she grew up. Nagawa niyang huminto sa pag-aaral nang isang taon bago mag kolehiyo para makapag-ipon dahil malaki ang sasahurin niya sa trabaho. She never thought that her young heart would fall in love with their new general manager, Evander Aldridge, despite his stern and elusive demeanor towards her. Hindi naman siya umasa na masusuklian ang nararamdaman niya dahil sa layo ng agwat ng estado nila sa buhay but she was wrong because he reciprocated her feelings for him! But their happiness came to an end. Lia left Buenavista without a word carrying his child in her womb and did not show up to Evander again. At ang liit nga ng mundo. Muli silang nagkita dahil ito pala ang golden boy ng lolo niyang mayaman. She had no choice but to see him every day since she became his temporary secretary for three months, and he was the only one who could teach her about the company. Evander is mad at her for leaving him, and she won't be able to escape the punishment of the billionaire she hurt.

Isang dalaga ang makakatulong sa kanya upang makapaghiganti na hindi niya aakalaing bibihag din sa sugatan niyang puso. At iyon ay walang iba kundi ang kanyang inaanak.
