Vivian Paredes, real estate magnate, the only daughter and CEO of the Paredes Group

 of Companies is about to wed Nathan Albino, one of the most eligible bachelors in

 the country.

 

All a-glow in her magnificent wedding gown, Vivian’s composure though intact and

solidly calm, belied a hint of a storm. Her maid of honor and best friend, Sheila Montes,

head and editor-in-chief of the top lifestyle magazine “Z,” is up to her neck with

all the wedding preparations under her care.

 

But just at that high moment of this fabulous wedding, Vivian drops

 a bomb that shocks everyone. She exposes the secret affair

between her groom Nathan and her best friend maid-of-honor Sheila

 happening right under her nose. The scandal rocks the elite world!

She throws her bouquet at Sheila and slaps Nathan and kicks his

shin with her pointed white heels before walking out. The humiliation

is far more painful.

 

 

 

They all hide from the crowd thereafter. Vivian flies to Barcelona,

 Sheila to Hong Kong and Nathan to Boracay where he falls into

a terrible accident rendering him hospitalized.

 

Weeks later, Sheila comes home. Strong-willed that

she is, she is determined to move on. But news of

Nathan’s accident softens her. She realizes she still

 has feelings for him. Unable to resist, she visits

 Nathan and an uneasy but intimate relationship is

 revived.

 

Meanwhile, Vivian comes home, fully transformed! From

leading a rather unadventurous and conventional lifestyle,

Vivian returns sultry and vampish. She goes ahead and

resides in her planned matrimonial mansion despite

remaining single. She decorates the house according to plan.

 Half-denying the pain of her loss, she resolves to take in

men she can control and dispense with. Her life takes the

wild side. Her leadership approach in business becomes

competitive and shrewd. She launches a magnificent

 real-estate project. And, in a bewildering twist, she extends

 a reconciliatory hand to Sheila!

 

 

 

 

Sheila, still filled with compunction is dumbfounded by

Vivian’s strange friendly gesture. She however accepts

Vivian’s offer of hiring her magazine company to come

up with a campaign for her real estate Project Vermillion

 Valley.

 

Sheila confides with her gay friend, Mike, who is wary

about the rekindling of this friendship. She likewise keeps

 this from Nathan. However, Nathan himself reconciles

with Vivian separately and without Sheila’s knowledge.

 And in a night of enamored reminscence, they reignite

their interrupted romance.

 

Complications run high when Mike, Sheila’s gay friend accidentally discovers

 the now reversed dalliance between Vivian and Nathan. He immediately

reports this to Sheila, who suddenly realizes the true motive of Vivian’s

 reconciliation moves. From apologetic companion, she turns into a shrewd

 rival. Sheila counts on an earlier amorous commitment from Nathan and

announces, in front of Vivian and the rest of the media, their impending

marriage. Much to the astonishment of Nathan himself!

 

At the climax of our story, the parties are reversed. The former bride

becomes the lover and the once secret lover has become a bride.

The final wedding scene becomes the setting of the Bride and the

Lover’s final showdown.
