Isang daang milyong tao, nabubuhay sa isang bansang tatlong daang libong kilometro ang laki. Bawat isa may pangarap. Bawat isa may mithiin. Bawat isa may kanya-kanyang kontribusyon sa dumi ng lupa, nakabilad sa sikat ng araw, sa init ng aspalto, nagbabakasaling umangat. Umunlad. Tumalino. Grumaduate. Ma-promote.
At sa dami ng mga numero, sa liit ng mga posibilidad, nakatingin ako sa isang salamin ng pantasya, sabay-sabay binabalanse ang lahat ng mga bagay, habang isa-isa akong binabaril ng responsibilidad.
At minsan, kailangan lang talaga nating tamaan ng realidad; hindi lahat ng pangarap natutupad.
Hindi lahat ng tao nabubuhay ng matagal.
Hindi lahat ng tao umuuwing may galak sa dibdib.
Hindi lahat may Happy Ending.
At nakakatuwa mang isipin, pero sa mundo ngayon . . . Lahat, nakasalalay sa Piso.

Marriage is normally one's happily ever after in the movies, but for Aemie Ferrer-Roswell, it's just the start of a seemingly unending adventure. Can this sweet Barbie-loving airhead continue to survive the life of being wife to a Mafia boss?
***
Many things changed after Aemie Ferrer became Ezekiel Roswell's wife. With the might of Yaji and Roswells combined, things should have become smooth sailing for Baby Ae and her Dong--or at least, that's what everyone thought. But with lies, secrets and betrayals constantly plaguing the two, no one knows who to trust. This time, the silly and ditzy Aemie must step up to protect everyone and everything she cherishes--including the man she loves. Will they win and overcome this battle again? Or is it the perfect time for them to accept that Mafia stories have no happy endings?
