RICHY PLUME-RAM

Jacob and Gloria have known each other since university, but while Jacob has always secretly loved her, Gloria sees him only as a friend. Years later, now a successful lawyer, Jacob finally gathers the courage to confess his feelings over dinner: "Gloria, I've always loved you." However, Gloria rejects him harshly, claiming he doesn’t meet her physical standards. Heartbroken, Jacob accepts her decision and eventually grows closer to Charlotte, Gloria’s younger sister. Their bond deepens, and they build a strong and happy relationship, while Gloria marries Samson, a handsome yet abusive man.  

When her marriage turns into a nightmare, Gloria, trapped in a toxic relationship, tearfully confides in Charlotte. Realizing her mistake, she leaves Samson and returns to Jacob, begging him for another chance. "I was wrong. It’s you I truly love," she tells him, overwhelmed with emotion.  

Jacob now faces a heartbreaking dilemma: should he leave Charlotte, the woman who has loved him unconditionally, or rekindle his relationship with Gloria, his first love? Aware of the situation, Charlotte refuses to lose Jacob without a fight.  

Caught in this complex love triangle, Jacob must decide between his past and his present. Which love will prevail?

One Man for Two Hearts

Jacob did his best to stay calm, even though the tension was palpable as he felt constrained by Gloria's embrace. She was holding him so tightly that he could almost feel the weight of her pain. Her eyes reflected growing anxiety, but she didn’t seem ready to let go. It wasn’t until Charlotte returned with a glass of water that she finally decided to release him. 


"Here, take this," Charlotte said, offering the glass to Gloria. 


Gloria took the glass, thanking her sister. Jacob seized the opportunity to stand up, visibly relieved, and declared: 


"I apologize, but I have to return to the office." 


Charlotte looked up at him, a surprised expression on her face. 


"Darling, do you have to leave already?" 


"Oh, that's right. I completely forgot you put your work aside for me. I'm really lucky to have a man like you in my life. I love you so much, my baby," she whispered, approaching to steal a kiss.
