Conflicts arise between two families when Dr. Severino Salazar is indicted for medical malpractice after his best friend succumbed to a post-surgery complication. Taking this accusation to heart, the renowned surgeon makes a grave decision.

After the death of his parents, Philip plots to kill Lucas, whom he blames for his family's tragic fate. However, Philip’s plan ends up an utter failure when he realizes that he got the wrong target.

Philip rescues Olivia and keeps her under his care. After learning that Olivia loses her memory, Philip fakes her death and gives her a new identity to exact revenge on his archenemy. Meanwhile, Lucas refuses to believe that his wife is gone.

Lucas completely becomes the worst version of himself as he grieves the death of his beloved wife. This, however, does not stop his friend Melinda from forcing herself on him. Philip introduces himself to Olivia as her husband.

Philip leads a new life abroad with Olivia, who is now living under the name Claire Salazar. Meanwhile, Lucas moves on from Olivia's death and starts anew with Melinda. However, the two families' entangled past proves to be a thorn in their sides.

Philip is infuriated to find out that Joaquin allowed the Buencaminos to become part-owners of Salazar Medical Center. Claire's mysterious dreams and worries for Philip push her to fly back to the Philippines.

Philip's instincts tell him there was foul play in Severino's death. With Claire's return, however, he is conflicted about whether to push through with his original plan of using her against the Buencaminos. Sofia grows curious about Philip’s wife.

As the Buencaminos target the board members of Salazar Medical Center, Philip thinks of a way to stop their plans. Luckily, an opportunity presents itself through Sofia.

Philip wittingly secures his access to the Buencaminos' exclusive party. Lucas thinks of Olivia after catching sight of Claire. Later, the lawyer gets wind of Philip’s investigation into his late father’s closed case.

After witnessing Philip and Lucas' heated fight, Sabrina finds herself questioning an old article she wrote about Dr. Severino Salazar. While an invitation to Victoria's party stirs Claire's curiosity, Melinda fumes over an old picture of Olivia.

Melinda and Lucas continue to argue over the latter’s dead wife. Philip makes his move to infiltrate the Buencaminos' grand event. Unbeknownst to Philip, Claire tries to find out the reason behind his strange actions.

Philip pushes through with his plan of exposing the Buencaminos at Victoria's own party. Meanwhile, Claire trusts her instincts and follows Philip to the party. There, she forms an instant connection with an unlikely person.

Philip feels a pang of guilt for having to lie to Claire about his retaliation against the Buencaminos. Greatly affected by the doctor's scandalous expose at his mother’s grand party, Lucas uses his influence to get even.

Joaquin’s fears for Philip materialize when the authorities arrest the young doctor. An extremely worried Claire rushes to the precinct, only to be barred from seeing her husband. Philip remains unfazed, but Lucas makes sure he suffers in jail.

Lucas and Melinda rejoice as their efforts to retaliate against Philip pay off, unaware that their archnemesis manages to overturn his situation in jail. Troubled over her husband's predicament, Claire receives advice from a friend.

After receiving pieces of advice from Sofia, a desperate Claire goes against Philip's requests and decides to contact the Buencaminos. Meanwhile, Melinda continues to live in the shadow of Lucas’ dead wife.

Claire manages to get Lucas’ contact number. Hearing his late wife’s voice over the phone, Lucas loses focus, consequently giving Philip the upper hand during the latter’s initial hearing.
