Synopsis[]

After the union between Agnes and Ariston, Noel and Melody became step-siblings but they didn't get along until their years of adulthood. When their parents die, Noel is forced to be Melody's legal guardian despite their lack of closeness. As they grow older, they were married to their respective lovers: Melody marries Ronald and Noel marries Cynthia. One day, Noel and Melody became business partners but their confession of love for each other led to the destruction of their respective marriages and the stigma of their relationship. The affair made Ronald and Cynthia furious on their respective spouses as Noel and Melody continued to love each other.
