The Laws of Marriage
“Even the best lawyers are haunted by their past mistakes. Being the only daughter of entrepreneur parents, Rora Alexis Domingo has nothing else on her mind but to make them proud, but instead of following their footsteps, she skipped the business path and enrolled to Maryland Law School, in furtherance of her childhood dream. However, it wasn't too long that her parents found out, and as a way of punishment, made her agree to marry a wealthy man of their choice (Sean Rivera) if she intends to pursue her dream. Determined to do whatever it takes to be a lawyer, Rora agreed to the compromise. Not until she led herself to the rabbit hole. Cashmere Kai Lopez is the exact definition of bad news. As the youngest son of the famous Lopez lawyers, he knew right after graduation, he'd be managing the law firm with his impeccable brother. Wild and impulsive, everyone thinks of him as a bad boy. Until one drunken night, he met the "interesting" Rora. Puzzled by her wonderful legal mind, the night led to a mistake... a mistake which unbeknownst to Kai brought them a bouncy child. Keeping their baby as a secret, Rora went on with her life, with Sean accepting the baby as his own. But no secret remains buried. When one case brought Rora and Kai together, will there be a chance to correct their past mistakes? When wedding vows are based on lies, can it be saved by the truth?”
