According to ABS-CBN International Sales and Distribution, the series will soon air in Malaysia and other Asian countries with the English title of Destined Hearts.

Dahil May Isang Ikaw tells the tale of two families whose fates intertwine with one another, creating a rather complicated love story between two brothers and two sisters.

Before attaining success in life, she was once a faithful and loving partner of Jaime Alferos (Gabby Concepcion) during college in 1980.

In an effort to make things up to Tessa, Daniel promises to put her through law school, which is her most cherished dream.

Ella (Mika dela Cruz, later to be Kristine Hermosa) is a girl who has simple dream, to be loved by her mother.

She tried to make her dream come true by dropping a bended one peso coin to the river; it was caught by a sailing vessel instead.

Both of them were caught, Miguel by a fisherman forcibly asking him to get down immediately and Ella by her mother while punishing her because of stealing the peso.

Here comes young Pip (Nash Aguas, later to be Sid Lucero) who stole a lady's handbag due to starvation.

Patricia and her daughter little Denise (later on played by Karylle) dislike Angela, and they even make it a point to hurt Ella.

As Ella grows into a beautiful young woman, she becomes a successful lawyer — making it her ultimate goal to work with her idol, Tessa, and become close to her in general.

When Tessa finds out about her last name the bell rings on her behalf and feels mortified yet shocked that her father is Jaime Alferos.
