Left without money due to a trap set by his father, Erkan is forced to negotiate with Ferman to save both his own life and Dicle’s. The outcome of these negotiations is clear: Erkan and Dicle return to the Aldur mansion, accompanied by Civan, whom Ferman assigns to them. Posing as the new chauffeur, Civan is tasked with reporting everything related to Dicle back to Ferman.
After tending to Dicle’s injuries from the beating, Erkan leaves her in the kitchen and goes upstairs to his parents, declaring that he is ready to comply with his father’s conditions—that is, to start working in the family business and to marry Burçin. İnci and Esat are pleased that their plan has worked and that their son has returned home.
Left without Erkan’s protection, Dicle is sent to do cleaning. A housemaid, who openly shows her hostility toward the girl, takes advantage of Dicle’s illiteracy and gives her cleaning agents that, when combined, create a dangerous chemical reaction. While cleaning, Dicle begins to suffocate. In this condition, she is found by Kadir, who immediately takes his friend’s wife to the hospital.
Barely recovering from recent events, Dicle is faced with new challenges, the greatest of which is İnci, who does not want to see her in the mansion. Instead of placing her in a guest room, İnci locks her in the barn overnight, together with the animals.
The next morning, Erkan, searching for Dicle, overhears a conversation among the servants and learns what his mother has done. Enraged, he rushes to free Dicle.
Meanwhile, the Aldur family begins preparations for the divorce between Erkan and Dicle. From their lawyer, they learn that if Dicle chooses, she can not only prolong the proceedings but also claim a significant portion of the Aldur family’s assets.
Since Erkan cannot openly discuss the divorce with Dicle, he is forced to act in secret, even though he does not want to. Taking advantage of her trust, he gives her a document to sign—one that initiates the divorce. Dicle learns about it only when she accidentally overhears someone else’s conversation.
At the same time, changes begin to unfold in the relationship between Erkan and Burçin. On the advice of her future mother-in-law, Burçin shows Erkan the wounds on her body. As intended, seeing a girl in need of help softens him. Dicle, who witnesses the scene between them, suffers a heavy emotional blow. And Burçin, in turn, learns the truth about Erkan and Dicle’s marriage.
