Waking Olivia

“Isang halik lang dapat… pero bakit parang gusto kong ulitin?” ani Alexis Vergara sa sarili, habang hinahabol ang sariling hininga matapos ang mainit na tagpo sa pagitan nila ni Ralph Santillian — ang bestfriend ng ex niyang cheater na si Julio. Isang gabing puno ng emosyon, galit, at alak, nagbago ang lahat sa isang iglap. Ang halik na dapat ay para lang ipamukha kay Julio na hindi siya nasira, ay bigla na lang nag-iwan ng init at kaguluhan sa puso’t isipan ni Alexis. Si Ralph, tahimik, misteryoso, at hindi interesado sa drama ng paligid, ay bigla na lang naging bahagi ng isang planong puno ng kasinungalingan: isang contractual marriage. Hindi sila in love, hindi sila magkaibigan, pero pareho silang may gustong patunayan — na kaya nilang makabangon mula sa mga nanakit sa kanila at gumanti sa ginawang pananakit ng mga taong minsang minahal nila ngunit sumira din sa kanila. Habang ginagampanan nila ang papel ng mag-asawa, unti-unting nabubura ang mga linya ng kasunduan. Si Alexis, na dating galit at puno ng poot, ay nahuhulog kay Ralph. Samantalang si Ralph, na tila bato ang puso, ay natutong ngumiti at masaktan para sa babaeng minsang bahagi lang ng isang plano. Ngunit paano kung bumalik si Julio para muling guluhin ang lahat? At paano kung ang dating kasunduan ay maging totoo na sa mata ng batas… at sa tibok ng puso?
