i m only stepmother

Sa gitna ng karangyaan ng Blue Ocean Cruise Ship, isang banggaan ng galit at kapalaran ang magpapasimula ng pagbabago sa buhay nina Cherry at Jal. Si Cherry, isang matapang at determinadong crew member na may fiancée na nangangalang David, ay umuusok sa galit matapos ang magulong araw sa trabaho. Sa isang aksidenteng pagkikita, napagkamalan niyang gigolo ang isang gwapong lalaki na tila walang pakialam sa mundo—si Jal. Ngunit ang hindi niya alam, ang lalaking kanyang sinigawan at tinawag na bastos ay ang mismong kapitan, CEO, at bilyonaryong nagmamay-ari ng barkong kanyang pinagtatrabahuhan. Ngunit sa ilalim ng liwanag ng buwan at sa kislap ng dagat, naganap ang isang gabing hindi nila inaasahan—isang mainit at mapusok na one-night stand na nag-iwan ng masakit na katotohanan: si Cherry ay nagdadalang-tao ng triplets. Habang patuloy na iniwasan ni Cherry si Jal, ang galit niya rito ay nagiging masalimuot na damdaming hindi niya maunawaan. Ang kanyang puso ay tila nagkakaroon ng sariling isip tuwing nakikita si Jal, kahit pa alam niyang may malaking sagabal sa kanilang dalawa—ang kanyang matagal nang fiancé na si David, na naghahanda na para sa kanilang kasal sa susunod na taon. Sa bawat araw na lumilipas, lalo siyang nahuhulog sa kakaibang ganda at pagkatao ni Cherry—isang damdaming hindi niya inasahan at pilit niyang nilalabanan. Ngunit paano kung malaman niya ang lihim ni Cherry? Paano kung matuklasan niyang siya ang ama ng mga triplets na dinadala nito? Pipiliin ba ni Cherry ang responsibilidad ng pangako kay David, o ang tawag ng pusong nagsisigaw para kay Jal?
