After enduring a challenging day, Natalie finally arrives home in the evening. She cleans herself and uses her favorite skincare products. Natalie also combs her black hair and prepares for sleep. She lies on her bed, staring at the ceiling of her room, contemplating many things.
"I wonder what I've done to both of them, Hans and Maria. They've destroyed my seemingly perfect life. A loving husband, in-laws who never bothered me. Hmm," Natalie sighs, still gazing at the ceiling.
On the other hand, Evan, who has just cleaned himself up, makes a cup of coffee and sits on the comfortable red sofa. Evan feels very comfortable; he has successfully saved Natalie for the second time.
He recalls the events from earlier in the day when Ken asked about Natalie's condition, thinking Natalie was Evan's girlfriend. "Ah, Ken is silly," Evan says, blushing. Evan's face now reveals the depth of his love for Natalie, but the man who has been with Natalie since childhood has never been able to express it.
...
Morning at Hans's residence,
"Maria? You rarely prepare breakfast. What's up?" Hans asks, just coming out of his room, appearing ready to go to the office.
"Oh, dear, come here. I made stuffed bread. It's not a difficult breakfast; I just feel like making it," Maria says, placing egg and vegetable-filled bread on a plate.
"Well, this is perfect for breakfast," Hans praises his wife a bit. "I think your mood is good today," he continues, looking at Maria.
Maria walks towards Hans and sits next to him with the stuffed bread in front of her. "Of course, everything is going smoothly with my work," Maria answers with a smile.
After a moment, the atmosphere becomes quiet. Hans looks at Maria, who is enjoying stuffed bread and a glass of orange juice. "Forgive me, Maria," Hans suddenly says.
Maria turns to her husband and smiles, "It's not your fault," Maria says briefly.
"It's strange. Usually, she would shout early in the morning out of jealousy over Natalie. But why not today?" Hans muses to himself. "Alright, let's go to the office together. We haven't appeared together for a long time," Hans suggests, not wanting to spoil the peaceful morning.
"Sure!" Maria immediately agrees with Hans's invitation. She finishes her plate and hurries into the room to get ready. However, as she reaches for her phone, she notices a new message. Maria quickly opens it.
"I'm waiting for your promise!" That's the content of the message from Gadi. Without responding, Maria immediately closes her phone and ignores Gadi's message.
Elsewhere, Gadi, hiding in Maria's car, looks restless. At this point, Gadi hasn't informed Maria that their plan failed, so Maria is unaware that Natalie is still alive.
...
Afternoon at the police station,
"I'm sure he's the mastermind," Ken says to one of his colleagues who is investigating Natalie's abduction.
"How can you be sure?" Ken's friend asks.
"Did you also see the red car at the kidnapping location? That car belongs to this woman!" Ken asserts, very confident about it.
"That car does belong to her, but a few days ago, she reported it as stolen," Ken's other friend says, tossing some papers containing the loss report.
Ken is shocked when he sees the report. He was convinced that Maria was behind what Natalie experienced, but the evidence he obtained is not enough to arrest Maria.
"How could this happen? She must have planned everything meticulously," Ken mutters to himself.
...
Meanwhile, Gadi, who is feeling anxious, continues to contact Maria. "Why hasn't she come here immediately and brought the money?" Gadi complains while messing up his hair.
Shortly after, Gadi's phone rings, indicating a new message. Gadi quickly checks the message, and it turns out to be from Maria.
"Meet me at Fave Hotel, room number 202. I'll wait for you at 3:00 PM," that's the content of Maria's message. Gadi looks slightly relieved; it means Natalie hasn't shown her face to Maria yet, giving him a chance to get the cash and Maria's body.
The clock shows three in the afternoon. Maria is driving her car towards Fave Hotel, carrying a bag containing the money. She looks at the money and smiles cynically, "Natalie, I once killed someone who looked exactly like you. I hope you'll meet him in hell; you should get to know each other then," Maria monologues.
Upon reaching the hotel, Maria goes straight to room 202, unlocks it, and contacts Gadi to come quickly. After a short while, Gadi finally arrives, joyful.
"Money, sis," Maria says while showing the bag containing the money.
Gadi immediately runs towards the bag, opens it, and sees hundreds of millions of dollars he has never touched before. "Now, let's proceed with the next step," Gadi says while unzipping his jacket.
"Sis, calm down first. Let's clean ourselves; I'm very sweaty just coming home from the office," Maria says, preparing to serve Gadi.
They end up spending the afternoon with their lustful desires. Maria, unaware that Natalie is still alive, foolishly gives her body to Gadi.
...
"Ting..." Hans's phone rings; he has been waiting a long time for news from Natalie. Finally, the woman of his dreams contacts him.
"Sir, let's meet," that's the content of Natalie's message. Hans, overjoyed, immediately leaves his office and rushes to meet Natalie.
In a restaurant not far from Hans's office, Natalie has been waiting in her beautiful red dress. Natalie's fair skin appears even more radiant when she wears that dress. Hans arrives with a joyful face, becoming more captivated by Natalie's beauty.
"Hi, it's been a long time since we had a date," Hans says, kissing Natalie's cheek.
"Ah, sir, is this allowed?" Natalie asks, holding her cheek.
"Just let everyone see it. I'm a bit jealous when everyone can enjoy your beauty. You look so beautiful today," Hans praises Natalie.
"Hmm? Wasn't I beautiful a few days ago?" Natalie protests, making a cute face.
"Oh, of course, you're beautiful every day," Hans answers, praising Natalie again.
"Really? But what's the point of this beauty? I'm not anyone special to you," Natalie complains with a sad expression.
"What? You are my queen, engraved in my heart, Natalie," Hans answers, holding his chest.
"Really? Then, what about Mrs. Maria?" Natalie pretends to be innocent.
"She was just a mistake, a mistake I made. Besides, I don't love her at all," Hans assures Natalie.
"Hah, I'm sure you also used to slander me to Maria like this, you wicked man!" Natalie exclaims in her mind. But Natalie's face still smiles at Hans, and now they are holding hands.
