Synopsis

Waldo, a righteous and hardworking son from a happy family, shares a deep love with Aryann. Although both were young, their love for each other was undeniably genuine and true. However, their story changed one night when Waldo accidentally killed a man who attempted to rape Aryann. Waldo was convicted of the crime and was sent to prison. Feeling responsible for Waldo's misfortune, Aryann took on different jobs to raise money to get him out of jail and meets Tristan, who gave her the hand she was desperately looking for. Not soon after being freed, Waldo faced the vengeful brother of the man he killed and was shot. He falls of a cliff and drifts into the sea which made everyone, except Aryann, believe that he was dead. Having slowly accepted Waldo's death, Aryann moved on and found her way to Tristan, the man who didn't take advantage of her vulnerability during her darkest times. The two fall in love with each other and were set to be wed. During the announcement of their wedding, Aryann realizes the undeniable truth that Waldo is alive. Waldo and Aryann cross paths but the latter is no longer sure if she still shares the love they once had.

Arci Muñoz returns in her second primetime series after her successful portrayal as Norma Elizondo in Pasión de Amor, a Philippine adaptation of Pasión de Gavilanes by Telemundo.[9] It is also Rita Avila's comeback project on ABS-CBN four years after Walang Hanggan.[10] Meanwhile, the melodrama is also Gelli de Belen and Danita Paner's first major primetime project since after leaving TV5.
