a minute to midnight

Sa madilim na sulok ng kanyang silid, isinumpa ng isang lalaki ang kanyang kapalaran. Ipinanganak na may birthmark na halos sakop ang kalahati ng kanyang mukha, lumaki siyang iniiwasan ng mga tao—at sa huli, siya na mismo ang lumayo. Ang tanging nagmahal sa kanya ay ang kanyang mga magulang, ngunit kahit ang sariling kapatid ay hindi pa siya nasisilayan. Dahil sa mga pangungutya at pag-iwas ng iba, isinara na niya ang kanyang puso—lalo na pagdating sa mga babae. Hindi na niya hinangad na mahalin o mahalin pa ng iba. Ngunit nagbago ang lahat nang dumating ang isang babaeng katulong sa kanilang bahay. Sa hindi niya maipaliwanag na dahilan, naagaw nito ang kanyang atensyon. May kakaiba rito, at hindi niya mapigilan ang sariling mahulog. Ngunit isang araw, isang lihim na usapan ng kanyang mga magulang at ng babaeng iyon ang kanyang narinig—isang kasunduang pag-aasawa kapalit ng malaking halaga. Isang pagtataksil. Isang panloloko. Sa galit at pagkasuklam, isinumpa niya ang babae. "Gold digger!" Wala itong pinagkaiba sa lahat ng iba pang tao. Mula noon, nagbago ang kanyang pagtingin dito. Hindi na pagmamahal ang nais niyang ipadama—kundi paghihiganti. Pero hanggang kailan niya maitatanggi ang tunay niyang nararamdaman? At totoo nga bang panloloko lang ang naging dahilan ng babae sa paglapit sa kanya? Abangan ang kanilang kwento—isang kasunduang puno ng sakit, galit, at isang pag-ibig na pilit na itinatanggi.

Sa isang marangyang party kung saan alak ang hari at kasiyahan ang batas, nagtagpo sina Megan Anastasia Davis at Primo Rafael Giovanni—isang simpleng babae at isang bilyonaryong sanay sa luho. Sa kalasingan at kapusukan, nadala sila ng laro ng tadhana—isang “pekeng” kasal na tinawanan lang nila noon. Pero paggising nila kinaumagahan, isang legal at totoong marriage certificate ang bumungad sa kanila. Kasado. Pirmado. Walang atrasan. Gulat. Panic. Hindi makapaniwala si Megan. Paano siya napasok sa isang kasal na hindi niya ginusto? Ngunit hindi doon nagtatapos ang gulo. Habang pilit niyang hinahanap ang paraan para makawala, isang mas malalim na sikreto ang kanyang nadiskubre—si Primo ay engaged na pala sa iba! Isang arranged marriage na matagal nang planado, pero hindi niya kailanman ginusto. Ngayon, may isang babaeng lumalaban para sa lugar niya bilang legal na asawa. May isang pamilyang nagdidikta ng kapalaran ni Primo. At may isang pusong unti-unting nahuhulog, kahit na pilit lumalaban. Tatakas ba si Megan mula sa isang pagkakamaling naging totoo? O haharapin niya ang laban para sa lalaking hindi niya inaasahang mamahalin? Samantala, si Primo—mananatili ba siya sa buhay na pinili para sa kanya? O pipiliin niya ang babaeng aksidenteng dumating pero hindi na niya kayang pakawalan?
