I love you, don't leave, please" - Mikha What would happen if two professionals were asked by their parents to try to get to know each other for a year and marry each other if ever everything worked out?

It had been six years since Maraiah Quinn Arceta lost Mikhayla Lim, and she had since moved on with her life. She is now in a long-distance relationship with Tyler, who lives in London. However, Maraiah was puzzled when she began receiving letters dated about five years ago-letters sent a year after she lost someone dear to her. Her confusion deepened when she was asked to work on a project with a famous volleyball player from the US.

Ariella Valderama, a refined young heiress with a heart for charity, meets Mavine Dela Cruz, the down-to-earth owner of a bar and coffee shop who shares the same passion for helping others. Their lives intertwine through a charity event-unaware that fate has another plan. Across town, Sariella Salvador, a kind café worker raised in the slums, continues to live her simple life-never knowing that the woman she's often mistaken for is actually her twin sister. As their paths begin to cross through Mavine's world, long-buried truths surface, testing love, identity, and the meaning of family. Friendships will bloom, tempers will clash, and hearts will find their way home.

Bound by an arranged marriage, Aiah Arceta walked away from Mikha Lim's cold indifference and found freedom in France. Five years later, she returns as a celebrated painter - with a little boy who carries Mikha's eyes.

Eight years ago, Ash Luna Navarro, a passionate Architecture student, fell deeply in love with Janna Ace Laverne, a free-spirited Fine Arts student whose world revolved around colors and dreams. Together, they built a life filled with laughter, late-night sketches, and whispered promises of forever. But even the strongest foundations can crack. Their love lost its spark, and before Ash could hold on, Janna left for England-without closure, without goodbye-leaving Ash to pick up the pieces of what once was. Now, years later, destiny brings them face-to-face again. Ash has become a licensed architect with a quiet life built on structure and restraint, while Janna returns to the Philippines as a famous actress, her name known by millions but her heart still haunted by one. When Gaia, Janna's manager and closest friend, unknowingly arranges a condo viewing owned by Ash, fate rewrites the blueprint of their story. In a world where time has changed everything but their eyes still recognize each other, can two hearts rebuild what once collapsed- or will love remain the one thing they can't design again?

In a world where tradition still holds power, two extraordinary women find themselves caught in a pact made long before they understood the meaning of love. Mariah Queen Arceta, known to the public as Aiah, is a 24-year-old fashion powerhouse. As the CEO and founder of the globally celebrated clothing brand ARC, she has built an empire with elegance, grace, and quiet determination. Known for her ethereal beauty and demure presence, Aiah is often described as soft-spoken and kind a true modern muse. Behind her success, however, lies a life dictated by responsibility and familial expectation. Mikhaela Janna Lim, or Mikha, is a prodigy in the medical field. At just 23, she is the youngest Cardiothoracic surgeon in the Philippines and already heads her department at St. Luke's Global City. Calm, composed, and enigmatic, she's often called the "Face Card" of the hospital not just for her striking, androgynous beauty but for the way she commands a room. Behind closed doors, Mikha unwinds through late-night Valorant games, where she lets loose her competitive, playful side far from the cool and stoic doctor the world sees. Their lives, so different yet equally intense, collide when a long-standing agreement between their families resurfaces: an arranged marriage neither of them expected nor wanted. Thrown into a commitment built on legacy rather than love, Aiah and Mikha must navigate their growing bond while balancing careers, public expectations, and the question of what love truly means when it's written into fate. But as secrets are revealed and walls begin to fall, will this unexpected union become the greatest love story neither of them saw coming?

Wherein - Aiah, lost her long term girlfriend to a car crash they were both involved in. Consumed by guilt, she blamed herself for the tragedy until she met Mikha...

Pero hindi lang basta pag-ibig ang nararamdaman ni Aiah; she's becoming secretly territorial. Kayanin kaya ni Aiah na ipaglaban ang tinitibok ng puso niya?
