Subalit dahil sa isang kasinungalingan, napilitang umalis si Diana at tuluyang ibigay ang kalayaan ni Nick sa pamamagitan ng annulment. Kasabay niyon ang kanyang pagtuklas sa tunay niyang pagkatao. Makalipas ang limang taon, sa di inaasahang pagkakataon, muli silang nagkita ni Nick. Lalong tumindi ang pagkamuhi nito sa kanya at pinipilit siya nitong makisama rito dahil hindi raw ito sumang-ayon sa annulment at ito pa rin ang legal niyang asawa. Paano muling pakikisamahan ni Diana ang galit ni Nick? Paano kung muli siyang mahulog dito sa kabila ng kalupitan nito? At higit sa lahat, paano niya hihilingin nang tuluyan ang kalayaan niya rito kung… mayroon silang anak na lihim niyang dinadala nang iwan niya ito? Isang anak na siyang susi upang makuha ni Nick ang kabuuan ng mana nito.
