Mary Evangeline "Mer" Evangelista, a content creator pastry baker, abandoned and betrayed by her first love had to hide her pregnancy from her parents in order to protect the image of her traditional family from public shame. Joseph Benavidez, a hot, runaway intruder with far too many carpentry skills-broke into Mary's house at exactly the wrong moment. . . or the right one? Because Joseph certainly believed he received the "right key" of the house his friend had rented for him. When Mary's entire family showed up unannounced that morning, and Joseph was casually half naked in the living room, everyone immediately assumed he was the same "Joseph" who got their daughter pregnant. As if that weren't chaotic enough, a video call from his mother and grandmother made things worse when they immediately assumed Mary was the woman he'd run away with to escape his arranged marriage. When it rains, it pours, but in Joseph's case it becomes a super typhoon. Joseph's two damn goals? Una, pigilan ang kasunduang kasal niya at ng kanyang childhood first love na iba ang mahal. Pangalawa, hindi masaksak ng itak sa tagiliran sa tabi ni Lapulapu dahil sa pagiging martyr niya sa pag-ibig. And the only way to break the engagement is if he marries someone else. As insane as it sounds, but there's no annulment in his family so whoever he marries will be his lifetime partner. Will Mary accept his marriage proposal-not just for pretend, but for real despite being strangers?Mary needed a husband to protect her child and avoid disappointing her parents. He is perfectly unmarried, a good man who is willing to love her child, and quite insane as her, surely a marriage of convenience doesn't require a complete sanity and romantic love. Or maybe within their marriage, someday, she and Joseph could learn to love each other, too?…
