Taylor Swift once said "chase two girls, lose the one". It was summer, and Eliron had some business in their farm in Laguna he needed to take care of. After eight months of being married, this was the only time he was separated from his wife. All is well, until he meets Anika, the daughter of the owner of the winery plantation just beside their hacienda. Anika was a charming girl, and so was his wife. Anika was jovial, and so was his wife. All they ever had was a companionship, nothing else. Or so they thought.
The whole duration of their summer, what they thought was a friendly encounter turned into clandestine meetings. Anika never knew he was married, and he forgot he was committed. He came to Laguna with the intention of taking care of their business, which is at the brink of bankruptcy, not to commit adultery. They fell in love over the course of two months. Augustine planned to pay her husband a visit, and do something a little naughty along the way, but her plans were quickly crushed when she learned her husband was having an affair with her best friend.
