Story

My Lover, My Wife tells the story of three hearts caught in a web of deceit and the struggle for truth, using plastic surgery as a key plot device, and is set against the backdrop of a police investigation.

Love

It all begins with Vivian (Maxene Magalona) and Arthur (Marco Alcaraz), a medical student, falling helplessly in love with each other. Arthur's mother, however, disapproves of the relationship. She sends Arthur to the US, and though the two try to maintain a long-distance relationship, they soon lose contact, leaving Vivian brokenhearted.

Years later, Vivian finds herself a job as a receptionist for the Romero Surgi-Clinic – and she encounters Arthur in the clinic. Old feelings resurface between the two, but their love story simply proves to be impossible to resume as Vivian learns that Arthur is already married to April (Nadine Samonte), a cosmetic surgeon and daughter of Dr. Charity Romero (Carmi Martin), the owner of the clinic. Vivian pushes aside her feelings for Arthur and forces herself to fall for Lawrence (Luis Alandy), a suitor she met at the clinic, and not long after marries him. Happiness, however, will still elude Vivian and Arthur.

Lies

Vivian soon finds out that Lawrence is a wife beater, and gets stuck in an unhappy marriage with him, even when they have a child; Arthur, unable to deal with his lingering feelings for Vivian, grows cold towards April – resulting in April having an affair. Arthur finds out about this, and in the heated confrontation that ensues, April accidentally shoots her lover. Charity bribes Lawrence to help April and Arthur escape the authorities, but as the three are about to escape, Lawrence and Arthur figure in an accident that burns Lawrence’s body beyond recognition and leaves Arthur severely burned.

Deception

The police only find two bodies in the wreckage, and assume those to be of the pilot’s and Arthur’s. Charity and April then embark on the deception that will change everything – they reconstruct Arthur’s face to look exactly like Lawrence’s! Upon gaining consciousness, Arthur is disgusted with what his wife and mother-in-law have done… but also sees it as an opportunity to go back to Vivian, even if it means assuming the identity of Lawrence. Vivian initially rejects “Lawrence’s” attempt at redemption, but soon believes that her husband has changed, and begins to love “Lawrence” as she did Arthur – not knowing that it really is Arthur pretending to be her husband.

Betrayal

April, however, is not about to give Arthur up that easily, and chooses to fight for her right as the real wife of Arthur, who is now living the life of Lawrence. She drugs Arthur and fools him to spend the night with her. She then gets pregnant, barges into Vivian’s home and declares that she will stay there. Vivian protests but is unable to do anything but tolerate the situation she has found herself in – for her child, but also for the love she feels for the person she believes is her husband.

The lover, the wife, and the husband find themselves living in one house – though which is which remain unclear, as Vivian is the wife of Lawrence, but April is the wife of Arthur … and for now, Arthur is Lawrence.

But the truth will soon catch up on them, as love proves to be much more powerful than the lies that have trapped their hearts.[4]
