Plot

Lizelle Jimenez is in a relationship with surgeon Adrian Benitez. Everything appears to be going well until Adrian's daughter from a previous marriage, Ysa, arrives from abroad and lives with them. Ysa showes her dislike for Lizelle, unbeknownst to Adrian.

Adrian is sued for malpractice and the investigation starts to cause conflict in Adrian and Lizelle's relationship. Feeling unwanted, Lizelle finds comfort in the seductive photographer and ex-boyfriend Gary Angeles, who is now dating Ysa. Lizelle and Gary rekindle their romance, with the latter admitting that he dated Ysa to get back with Lizelle. Ysa tries to win Gary's heart but Gary admits that he loves someone else.

Lizelle and Gary decide to elope, but Lizelle is stood up. Lizelle returns to Adrian and asks to marry him. During the wedding preparations, a lawyer informs Lizelle that Gary has died and named her his sole beneficiary of Gary. Adrian goes home to see Lizelle crying, admitting she tried to leave him for Gary, but he didn't show up. Adrian tells her that he knows Gary because he tried to treat him before he died.

Adrian recounts his story, admitting to Lizelle that he knew she was meeting Gary and planned to leave him. He then confronted Gary. While arguing, Gary tried to cross the road but was struck by a car and died shortly after.

After Lizelle asks for forgiveness, they resolve their problems and proceed with the marriage. Lizelle is shown laying flowers at Gary's tomb before walking away hand in hand with Adrian.
