Joan Catapang - Olan

She is an independent woman who works her way up through the ranks of motorsports to fulfill her dream: to become a mechanic for a Formula 1 team. She finally makes it and lands a position as a junior mechanic. Euphoric, she celebrates with her friends at a party, getting drunk and having fun... except that, the next morning, she wakes up in a stranger’s bed. She flees before her one-night stand wakes up, only to discover a few days later that he is one of the twenty Formula 1 drivers—a multimillionaire and a celebrity. News of her one-night fling leaks to the press, and the media immediately announces to the world that they are a couple, misinterpreting the whole situation. Now they have to fake a relationship to save their respective futures. She hates him, convinced that this makes it look like she got the job by sleeping with him, but if she denies the romance, she’ll lose her dream job. For his part, he needs a woman to pretend to be his girlfriend to protect his reputation, after his manager warned him that he must improve his public image. So they reach an agreement: a full racing season pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend, and then each can go their separate ways. Except that, somewhere between one kiss and the next in front of the cameras, part of the charade began to turn into reality.

I don’t love you.” What he didn’t know was that in her hand were pregnancy test results from a mistake he made due to his drunken state. Years later, they both meet at a friend’s wedding and he is shocked to see her with a set of identical twins that looked just like him. “Are they mine?” He asked. Harriett laughed and replied, remembering his own words. “It doesn’t matter, Damien. They don’t need a father.”
