contract bound

Si Phoebe Concepcion ay isang babaeng nawalan na ng pag-asa. Matapos silang palayasin ng kanyang ama kasama ang kanyang ina at mga kapatid na babae, inakala niyang makakabuo pa rin sila ng isang payak ngunit masayang buhay.

Pakiramdam niya ay wala nang patutunguhan ang kanyang buhay, at ang tanging liwanag na lang na natitira ay ang bunsong kapatid niyang si Quila. Labis niyang kinamumuhian ang ama dahil mas pinili nito ang ibang pamilya kaysa sa kanila. Sa gitna ng kawalang pag-asa, nakilala niya si Darius Villarosa — isang lalaking wasak at walang-awang makitungo. Her late sister left a massive debt to Darius, and with no means to repay, he offers a cold solution: a marriage contract. Wala nang ibang pagpipilian si Phoebe. Desperado at walang matatakbuhan, tinanggap niya ang alok. The contract binds them, but will it also warm her heart, or will it shatter her completely? Sa pagitan ng dalawang taong parehong sugatan, may puwang pa kaya ang pagmamahalan o mananatiling malamig na kasunduan lamang ang lahat?
