Nicole, your stunning, dynamic wife. A woman who turns heads the moment she enters a room. Impressive and full of love and smiles, she's your rock. The love of your life. Married three years, but now something's wrong. She's distant, snaps at you. Refuses to touch him, always tired or with headaches. And when she talks to her boss Mark Weber, her face lights up. Mark, handsome and rich, flirts with her—you've known it, she's admitted it. Odd-hour messages on her phone. You confront her, ask if she's seeing him—she denies, snaps. You ask to see messages, she refuses angrily. In the garden, you see her deleting them. You know divorce is coming. The next day, medical problem: Nicole gets fever. Hospitalized for days... You stay 24/7, helping like a true husband, sleeping in the chair as if nothing happened. Then Nicole says what breaks your heart: "Thank you for being by my side. You've always been a good husband. But when I get better, I want a divorce. I love Mark so much—we've been together 4 months. Let's go our separate ways amicably." Her words crush you, but you agree. You've lost everything. The next two days, one call and messages from Mark. He doesn't visit her at all—surprising. Two days later, home. Nicole, weak, leans on you to climb stairs. In the armchair, she gets an email and message from Mark. The email fires her. The message coldly ends it: He's with a Brazilian model. Nicole freezes, realizing she's betrayed as she betrayed. She's lost everything... job, lover, husband... you, who truly loved her. With pain and tears, she explains. You smile inwardly, celebrating the turn. "I understand, these things happen, but now I have a question... with the divorce, who takes the dog, you or me?"

17 seconds. That's all it took to break the back door of Beth's house, enter from the kitchen to the living room, and hit your older brother Jackson—not once, but several times—until he fell to the floor. You'd told him many times not to touch his wife Beth again... and you'd warned him: "If you touch her again, I won't call the police... but I'll make you regret it." He didn't listen, and you did. Jackson couldn't stand up to you. He ended up defeated on the floor after your attack, his eyes admitting defeat. Jackson never touched her again. He was a bad man and husband, but not stupid enough to tangle with you. You turned to the terrified Beth, her face full of bruises and blood, and said: "Pack your things... you're coming with me. Tomorrow morning, my brother will go to a lawyer to give you a divorce. If he doesn't, I'll come back." That was three years ago. You gave Beth her freedom, and she disappeared to another city far from Houston to start a new life—and you lost track of her. All you wished was that she was okay, because Beth shone like a diamond... a diamond that your brother Jackson never appreciated or respected. Over time, you search for an accounting job in Boston and get called for an interview at the large company Beacon Financial Partners. Besides your fists, you're good with numbers, and you want to use that. So, on a Monday morning, you knock on the door and enter to see the head of accounting for the interview. You freeze, shocked. Beth... is the head. A different woman from three years ago. Beautiful, dressed in elegant office clothes, with a smile on her face—no bruises or fear. Beth recognizes you and smiles. "You can't imagine how happy I was when I saw your resume on my desk. I knew right away I had to see you." You, frozen, don't respond. But she stands from her desk and hugs you. You know now that you have this precious diamond in your hands. And you'll do everything to not lose it again.

You never committed that wrong. Not you. You never touched your wife's little sister, Lexi. Supposedly, in a hotel room, you hit her and did something very bad to her body. The police took you in for questioning because Lexi was found beaten and accused you. Soon, your wife Maria arrived—not to defend you, but to attack 8. She'd just come from the hospital and believed Lexi's lies. In front of the police, Maria attacks you, curses you, throws her wedding ring in your face, and demands a divorce. You try to convince her of the truth, but it's futile. Two days later, you return home innocent. The medical exam on Lexi's body, the hotel security camera, and police interrogation reveal the truth: You're innocent. Lexi went to that room with an unknown man that night, and he hurt her. Lexi, always immature and reckless, in a jealous fit against Maria and you for your wonderful marriage, accused you to destroy it all. A stupid move from a stupid person. Maria welcomes you back with her head down. She apologizes for believing her sister and hugs you tenderly. But for you, the damage is done. Something broke inside you as a man and husband. The next days, you're distant, thoughtful, and still haven't put your ring back on. Maria's behavior hurt you more than Lexi's. Full of pain, Maria hears from your lips: "Maria, I won't give Lexi the satisfaction of divorcing you, but know you disappointed me. But I want us to go somewhere, just the two of us, to forget this whole thing and try to love you again." Maria agrees, and two days later, you're walking at night on the beautiful Malibu Beach. There, she holds your hand—the one you still refuse to put the ring on—and together, you'll try to heal your wounds and fall in love again. Can you? Do you want to? Or is divorce the only way?

It’s Christmas Eve, and the last thing you wanted was a work call. Scarlet Andersen, 35, daughter and heir of banker Johan Andersen, calls you about damage in her mansion’s garden. You’ve worked for her before and disliked her sharp, cold manners. She’s a hard woman, known for sarcasm. This time, the task is small: fallen branches and a broken fence. A couple of hours’ work that could wait. You’re 28, struggling with two jobs—plumbing, repairs, gardens—trying to survive. But Christmas is near, and you want peace with your friends, not exhaustion. So you politely refuse, promising to come in two days. Scarlet insists, offering five times your price. The money is tempting, and at last you accept. When you arrive, Scarlet greets you outside. She wears a black dress, no jewelry—an image that doesn’t fit a rich woman. At first she’s strict and sarcastic, just like before. But slowly she softens, passing tools to you, even joking. It’s strange, almost unsettling, to see her like this. When the work is done, she gently touches your hand. Her voice is low, vulnerable: “Please, one more thing. A sacrifice. I’ll pay you $10,000 if you stay tonight and tomorrow. I’m alone in this huge house. None of my friends invited me—probably because I’m difficult. Even my servants took leave. Please don’t let me spend Christmas alone.” You freeze. Money is not the point. Her eyes carry pain and loneliness, and they break your resolve. You hear yourself answer: “Yes, Miss Andersen, I’ll stay… but my clothes are dirty.” Her face brightens with joy. For Scarlet, Christmas has already begun. For you, everything is about to change.

You cried with joy when she was born and held her in your arms. You cried with joy when you saw her take her first steps... you cried when she first called you "Daddy." Sandra, your beautiful daughter with your wife Elena... Sandra was everything a father could want in a daughter—beautiful, smart, kind-hearted... funny but serious when needed. For you, Sandra was the reason you worked 12-hour days... the reason you endured the difficult marriage with Elena. Sandra was always in your arms... her favorite hobby was watching movies with you, falling asleep in the safety of your embrace. Elena, on the other hand, as a wife, was always angry, strict... a woman who never gave you the love you craved. Your fights were frequent and harsh from a woman who never respected you. And one day, when Sandra was 10, during an argument about whether she should change schools, Elena said something that shattered your heart: "You need to know Sandra isn't your child... You can't decide for her." You were stunned, and Elena confessed the truth—Sandra was the daughter of her lover, Tom, from a two-month affair. The test confirmed it, and divorce came soon. Sandra and you cried in each other's arms in pain on the day she left your home forever. Devastated by the harsh truth that you were never truly father and daughter. She promised you'd stay in touch, but it never happened. Elena moved to Canada and forbade Sandra from contacting you—you never heard from her again. You couldn't find her on Instagram or Facebook. You continued your life and never remarried. The only thing you did was move to California. For 8 years now, your only memories of Sandra are photos and videos that bring you immense pain. But one night, walking on the beautiful beach under the moonlight, you hear a familiar voice... different but familiar: "Daddy? Is that you?" You turn your head and see Sandra again, now 19. Tall, stunningly beautiful with her long curly hair.

It's a cleverly set trap you can't easily escape... a stunningly beautiful 22-year-old trap named Amanda, now inside your house. Amanda is the daughter of Linda, your mother Sophia's best friend. She's a tough, smart girl... but immature, selfish, quick to anger, and despite her beauty, she has no friends. And she has one more flaw—unfortunately, she loves getting involved with bad boys... the alpha males. But her relationships with those guys always end in disaster after days or weeks, leaving Amanda with a broken heart every time. Your mother and hers decide to bring you two together, thinking you might click and at least start a simple friendship. Failure—Amanda doesn't even want to see you. She knows you from way back and sees you as soft... nerdy. A loser. You don't impress her at all as a peer, even though you're very smart, handsome, and athletic like her—you're just shy and too nice for her taste. You respect her attitude and don't push for more. But your mothers have a sneaky plan... a trap to bring you close... or very close. Linda has to leave for a business trip to Europe, so she leaves her daughter at your house because she has nowhere else to put her. Suddenly, your mother has to leave urgently for New York too—her mother is very ill. Lies—your grandmother is perfectly fine. It's just to leave you alone for a few days so you can get to know each other better. Shock for both of you... Now what? You know each other, but how can you live together for a few days when Amanda wants... to ignore you? And you, with her in your house, want her to have as good a time as possible... But how? In reality, though, you and Amanda know you have to take a step forward, get to know each other better, and maybe find a way to be together.

At a young age, you lost your parents in an accident... and Magda was by your side from that moment. Magda, your mother's best friend, immediately agreed to adopt you and take you in. She became your mother and father. She raised you, put you through school, and cared for you like her own child, sacrificing so much for you. Now at 38, Magda is a stunningly beautiful and powerful CEO at Neptune Maritime Builders, one of the top shipbuilding companies in the world. She never married. Her only concern was you... Magda showed you love and strictness, teaching you to be a smart man who commands respect. She always called you "my son." And you loved her more than a mother, doing everything to make her proud. Now at 22, she got you a job in her office... And a few months later, your nightmare began. Magda transformed into something alien... She became distant, harsh, unfair—every mistake you made earned you heavy reprimands. She started belittling you in front of everyone... The phrase "my son" was replaced with derogatory words. And at home, it got worse... you became her personal servant. You're in panic now, not knowing why. You ask her why she's acting this way, only to hear, "I'm not obligated to answer you... Oh, and you're fired. Leave the office, go home, pack your things, and go... When I get home tonight, I don't want to see you there." You don't argue—you just thank her for all she's given you over the years, obey, and leave heartbroken. You feel orphaned again, like when you lost your real parents years ago, but this time it hurts more. That night, just before you leave, she finds you in your room packing your clothes into a backpack. Magda stops you. She wants to explain the reason for her behavior...

This isn't the first time she's done it. Jane has pulled other pranks on you before... jokes that you always forgave because she was your wife! Jane didn't prank just for laughs—she never respected you. She saw you as innocent, an easy target. Her friends Monica and Kelly, always a bad influence, often controlled Jane's behavior, convincing her to test you with pranks and jokes. It wasn't rare for them to humiliate or belittle you in front of others. You've argued with Jane many times about her friends and begged her to stop seeing them. She refused, and after months, another harsh prank pushed you to your limit. Jane returns from New York after a three-day trip to "visit her mother," looking upset. She looks you in the eyes and says, "Darling, I'm sorry... I ran into Rob, my ex. I got drunk at the bar and slept with him... This morning, I got his name tattooed on my hand. Sorry." Jane shows you the fake tattoo with plastic wrap still on it. Fake tears roll down her cheeks—she'd win an Oscar if she were in a movie. But this time, you know... the whole truth. A friend told you he overheard Jane plotting the prank with her friends over coffee one afternoon. Your friend, whom Jane doesn't know, was sitting nearby and spilled everything. You know about the fake affair... you know about the fake tattoo... And now it's your turn to prank her back and teach her a lesson she deserves. "Y-you did that? Slept with Rob? Well, your infidelity makes this even easier for me. Sign here now..." You pull out the fake divorce papers. Jane freezes in fear... Now it's her turn to be the victim of a prank. Your prank. "Darling?" you add to the terrified Jane. "I wanted to ask for a divorce because I'm tired of you not respecting me for a long time. Now, with your infidelity, you're making my job easier.".

Helena Richards! She's stunningly beautiful, incredibly smart, dynamic, but with an impossibly difficult personality. As CEO of one of America's largest brokerage firms, Vortex Capital Partners, she's wildly successful—but to her employees, she's a nightmare. For you, working by her side these past months, she's the worst thing imaginable; you live in hell, and more than once, you've wanted to jump out the 20th-floor window without a parachute! Helena is rude, harsh, constantly belittling you, and never satisfied, even when you work non-stop beside her for hours. In her rages, she's fired you twice and rehired you after just 10 minutes. She never apologizes, never smiles... But Helena knows she needs you. You've been at the company for three years, your experience is invaluable, and you stay as her assistant only for the great salary. But one stormy Saturday night, with relentless rain pouring outside, you hear your doorbell ring. You open the door and see Helena standing there, soaked to the bone in her evening mini dress from a night out. "Sorry to bother you so late, but I just went out for a drink... My car broke down around the corner, and with this storm and downpour, I can't find a cab to get home. So... I'll crash at your place tonight, okay? The couch and a blanket will do." You freeze at her presence, stunned. "Are you going to let me in, or should I fire you?" she says, and you smile awkwardly, opening the door. And now you know this evening will be truly special and bizarre, spent with a woman unlike any other.

This time, you decided to walk home from school. The weather is wonderful, and the idea of taking the school bus didn't appeal because you wanted to enjoy the spring sun. Big mistake... A few blocks from your house, you see a familiar car outside a house—your mother Adriana's car. She's coming out with a man you know well: David, your father's boss. You freeze as you see your mother hug and kissing him . You're close, very close, and whisper a frozen "Mom?" Adriana and David turn, looking horrified. Her face turns white... now you know everything about her relationship with David. You stare at her, angry, whispering with a broken voice, "Shame on you, Mom," and run away. Adriana calls, "Wait, please!" but you race home. She follows, finding you locked in your room. She knocks, begs you to come out and not tell your father—she wants to explain. But you refuse to talk... That night, when your father Tom returns, you say nothing. In your pain from the betrayal, you choose to protect the family, unable to face a divorce. But she won't admit her affair to him yet. Your relationship with your mother is now almost dead. You play a role: In front of your father, you talk to her with love and respect. Alone, you're cold, avoiding her eyes—only formal words. A few days later, your father leaves to visit his sick mother in Houston. The day has come to face your mother, who's tried for days with kindness to reach you. You hurt, feeling betrayed, yet you love her deeply and don't know how to handle it. Adriana enters your room, determined. She won't let you avoid her. She grabs your shoulder firmly and speaks to you.

You've never had a good relationship with your older sister Laura, who's three years your senior. Simply put, the two of you just don't click as siblings. She's dynamic, stunningly beautiful, a free-spirited and independent woman—a girl who always shone in your parents' eyes compared to you, her little brother. At 26, Laura speaks three languages fluently and is a successful independent photographer. You, at 23, are a lonely young man struggling to find your path, jumping from one job to the next. In reality, you're the family loser... One day, feeling bored at her own place, Laura decides to pull a big prank on you. She creates a fake Instagram account under the name Kelly Richard, using a random beautiful woman's photo from the internet. Laura reaches out to you, pretending to be Kelly. She just wants to have some fun, but day by day, your conversation shifts. For the first time, Laura discovers what a great guy her brother is—full of patience and kindness—and realizes just how much you admire her as a sister. But for you, this chat leads somewhere else entirely... As a lonely soul, you fall in love with the fake character Kelly and ask her to meet in person because you have feelings for her. Laura panics; she never expected this outcome from her silly fake chat with her brother. After all, it was just a joke to her. But now Laura has to decide whether to continue the prank or not... because the situation is getting complicated, and she makes the bold choice to keep up the heavy joke. Over the next few days, she pretends to have feelings with you, making your heart burst with joy. And in the end, she'll set up a coffee date with you as Kelly... For Laura, it's a chance to surprise you and truly talk to you, to get to know her brother better. But for you, it'll be the most devastating shock of your life when you arrive at the cozy neighborhood café and see there's no Kelly... just Laura, your sister, and her prank.

Erika, your long-time wife whom you love more than life itself, betrayed you in the worst way when you read an email from her to her ex-lover Anthony on your mobile phone. Erika had forgotten that when her phone broke a few weeks ago, she used your mobile phone and set up her email there while waiting for some important work emails. So, for the last few days, all her emails have been coming to you. Work emails, irrelevant to you, but one specific one aroused your suspicion... The email was sent by Erika a week ago and said to Anthony, her ex-lover: "I love my husband and I don't want to leave him. But I can't forget you either. You are the love of my life. And at least I want something from you. Please, I want a son or daughter from you. On February 15th, I will be in California with the company from a one-week business trip. That's when I can get pregnant. Please don't say no." You read the email over and over, and the date was already February 18th, and Erika had already been gone for three days to California. You went mad with terror and almost screamed when you read Anthony's reply: "I will come. I will lie to Louisa, my wife, and come. Yes, I want a child with you too. I still love you." Now you are angry, and you know you have to do something... Erika is cheating on you and probably already pregnant. You replied to her immediately with a message: "I just read your email to Anthony, I know he's in California with you and you're probably already pr gnant. Don't you dare come back." In just a few minutes, Erika started calling you over 20 times over the next few hours and sent you over 14 messages that you never answered. You had no reason to do so. The very next day, Erika returned hurriedly after cancelling her business trip, terrified and with tears, trying to explain what happened and save her marriage with you.

Kim was your ex-wife. Stunningly beautiful, attractive, wealthy, but a hard, difficult person. She rarely smiled. You spent four years married, six with the two years of dating, enduring a loveless, disrespectful relationship. Deep down, you knew this marriage wouldn’t last long. And you were right. Her secret affair with Robert, her childhood rich friend, ended your marriage, but it left you relieved with a quick divorce. At 30, you have time to rebuild your life without Kim’s mistakes. A year later, you get a message from an unknown number. Robert, her lover, sends a wild text: "Kim is crazy. I can’t understand how you handled her so long. Please take her back." You laugh and don’t reply—why would you? A month later, you see her standing outside your house, as beautiful as ever, with her fake smile. You freeze, wondering what she wants. "Hello, my love," she says. "The thing with Robert didn’t work out. It was just a mistake, a foolish man, like a failed experiment. You get it, don’t you? So, I’m back with you." You laugh, shaking your head. "We’ve been divorced, remember?. I don’t want any relationship with you," you reply. Her face shifts to something dark, dangerous—a reaction she didn’t expect. Now, you face her unpredictable anger. Can you escape her control, or will her wealth and fury trap you again?

Lexi is a gorgeously beautiful 43-year-old woman who looks much younger for her age. Dynamic, independent, with her own small but thriving clothing business. She’s single after a painful divorce from her ex-husband Eric and mother to an 18-year-old son living with her. Lexi loves controlling everything in her life, both hers and her son’s. But her biggest problem is her egoism. When she wants something, she pushes until she gets it. Her son is the victim of this egoism. Lexi wants him to get a scholarship for university but he fails. Bad grades, weak in sports—he’s not what she wanted. He’s a failure, her failure. Her son resembles his father: quiet, smiling, kind-hearted. Not dynamic like his mother, nor egoistic like her. Day by day, their relationship worsens. Lexi reminds him he’s a failure, a problem, until one day, exhausted from work, she returns home. In a heated kitchen argument, in anger, she utters a regretful curse: "You’re my biggest mistake. I’m ashamed I gave birth to you. I wish you eternal misery." It was harsh words she didn’t mean, but she said them and shattered her son’s heart. And then, the next day, as if the universe heard her, everything went wrong for her son. A car accident not his fault, a painful illness, and all his friends distancing themselves without reason. Lexi watches in horror as her curse becomes reality, filling her with remorse and guilt. Now in her home, they have a broken son and a broken relationship with him. As a mother, she doesn’t know what to do. Her son, distant and withdrawn, fears her so much now. Can they find a way to live together, to fix their relationship? Can Lexi’s love stop her son’s misfortune?

Emily Roberts! Your ex-girlfriend. Stunning, dynamic, and dangerous. Your former love and your biggest mistake. At 22, she convinced you to join the shadowy world of secret services, recruiting you into NAG, a CIA offshoot. NAG handles the dirty work—striking covertly, methodically, leaving no traces. Five years later, you’re their top assassin, but you take no pride in it. This isn’t the life you wanted. You dreamed of a family, kids, not killing people. Meanwhile, Emily grows colder, more cunning in her missions, and harsher with you. She’s transforming into something dark, something unrecognizable. One day, you decide to quit. The problem? NAG refuses to let you go—you’re too valuable. So, you flee America secretly to Europe, to Norway, under a new identity, seeking a better life in Namsos. But for Emily, this is betrayal. You abandoned her and NAG, and she doesn’t forget. A year later, she tracks you to your hideout outside Namsos, intent on dragging you back or making you pay with your life for your desertion. You’re not ready to return to that life—not without a fight. And you won’t let Emily control your fate again. Now, you must fight for your freedom and life against the love of your life—or convince her to join you. There’s no other way.

Amelia was the girl who transformed from an ugly duckling to a swan. She endured a tough life, friendless, but you were always by her side. You stood with her when kids mocked her acne in school. You protected her when bullies targeted her weight. In high school, you comforted her when Gordon Brown, the school’s most handsome boy, flirted only to humili*te her, leaving her crying in your arms. You, her loyal friend, saw her heart and character, not her face. You loved her, but she kept you at a distance. At 20, after skincare treatment and weight loss, Amelia became a stunning swan everyone desired. You hoped she’d see you as more than a friend. Instead, at a party, you saw her kissing Gordon Brown, her true love. She laughed when you confronted her, demanding answers, and her words crushed you: "You thought I could love you? Never! Maybe if hell freezes over." The party laughed, and Gordon’s friends kicked you out, of the party. You vowed a make them pay. Years later, at 27, you’re a handsome, dynamic, and successful Hollywood actor, starring in four hit movies with big names. Now, you’re the swan. One day, at a party like that 7 years ago, you see Amelia again—still gorgeous. She flirts boldly, acting like nothing happened. You smile, knowing her payback day has come if you want.

Kylie Osborn is the very wealthy woman who brought you into this world. Your stunning 40-year-old mother. Brilliant, dynamic, and CEO of her father’s business, she knows money is power. But in her personal life, she always leaves a trail of destruction with her choices. With two divorces and a string of failed relationships, Kylie lives only to spend money in a monotonous life split between grueling work at her company and her lavish lifestyle. Her greatest failure, though, is you, her 18-year-old son from her first marriage. Her failure is her inability to bond with you. She rarely communicated with you, rarely stood by you even in tough times, and never felt love for you, rejecting you outright. You tried in vain to connect with her, but Kylie had decided early on to keep you out of her life. So, you lived your whole life away from her, raised by your father. Yet life has other plans for you both. One day, you meet at an airport for a short one-hour flight to Morant Cays with a small propeller plane carrying 11 people.

Everyone has unfulfilled desires. Some want to become rich, others to travel the world, others just to hold the person they loved most in their arms. This happens with your stunning fiancée, Clara Andrews. A woman who will marry you in a month to live a happy life. Almost everything is ready for the wedding, your families included, but a message on Clara’s Instagram from her old classmate and university friend, Eric Mitcham, threatens to undo it all. Eric was once Clara’s great unrequited love. He never reciprocated her feelings, and now, five years later, as leader of the rock band "Black Rats," he invited Clara to see him backstage at his concert in Houston. Old memories and feelings resurfaced for Clara, who happily told you, "Love, don’t be jealous. I’ll see Eric at his concert, just to see him and come back. He invited me to his backstage, and you know how much I like him." You know Clara is struggling with this. You get angry, trying to make her understand, "Eric wants more than just to see you, Clara; he has other intentions," but she smiles and simply packs her suitcase. As she leaves, you tell her, "If you leave this house, don’t come back," and she kisses your cheek, replying, "Of course I’ll come back; we have a wedding to do." Three days later, with no contact from her, she returns in shock, crying, wanting to apologize because something terrible happened. Clara realized Eric’s invitation wasn’t innocent. He was charismatic and kind yes, but he suggested spending the night together at the hotel but also with his bandmates involved. She was shocked, refused, and left, but the night left her traumatized. Her return brings a storm of emotions—you feel anger, betrayal, but also concern. Her cries fill the room as she confesses, "I didn’t know he would go that far. I’m sorry." You face a dilemma: forgive her and move forward or end everything before the wedding. The decision rests on your shoulders as the clock ticks toward the big day.
