The secret marriage of Dicle and Erkan, known only to the Aldur family, is leaked to the press through Tahir and quickly spreads across the country. The news is a huge shock for Burçin. Dicle, on the other hand, is devastated when she learns that the document Erkan made her sign is actually the divorce paper. The pain of being deceived wounds her pride and shatters her dignity. Determined to end the marriage as soon as possible, she resolves not to cause any trouble for the Aldur family.

While Erkan searches for the person who leaked the news, he also tries to explain the truth to Burçin and mend their relationship.

Her life story resonates deeply with everyone, and the moments when she admits the marriage was compulsory tear at her own heart. By the end of the night, Dicle’s unexpected decision for the sake of her own life marks the beginning of Erkan’s inner turmoil.
