After the Divorce, We Fall in Love Again

Maria was framed and implicated by Luna, leading her husband Xander to mistakenly believe that his mother's accidental death was related to her, which caused a growing rift between them. Luna, deeply admiring Xander, was determined to marry him. Taking advantage of Xander's intoxicated and confused state, she climbed into his bed and claimed that they had intercourse. She then feigned pregnancy to further win Xander's attention. Exploiting Xander's concern for her unborn child, Luna orchestrated her own kidnapping and demanded that Xander exchange Maria as a hostage. Xander pleaded with Maria, who, heartbroken, reluctantly agreed. After Xander arranged for Luna's safety, he attempted to rescue Maria, but she seemingly disappeared without a trace, leaving Xander filled with regret. It wasn't until five years later that Maria reappeared in front of Xander in a completely new guise.
