Unbeknownst to her, he already had a first wife, Tiffany, who held the title of billionaire while they both lived under the guise of humble circumstances. Despite Erland's plea to stay by his side, hidden from Tiffany, Maelie struggled with the guilt of being an "unspoken" partner. "I shouldn't be living like this, hiding behind someone else's life," Maelie exclaimed, her voice tinged with worry and her gaze locked onto Erland's. "Darling, you didn't take anything from anyone. I chose you," Erland reassured her, tenderly holding her hand. "We'll face this together, and I'll make it right." "But how can we justify our situation to Tiffany? What about her feelings?" Maelie questioned. Erland's resolve was unwavering. "I love you, and I understand it's tough for you. Trust me, I'll find a way. With you by my side," he said, gazing into her hazel eyes with determination. Caught between financial struggles and her love for Erland, Maelie reluctantly agreed to their unconventional arrangement, feeling a pang of guilt towards Tiffany. Meanwhile, Tiffany's silence about Maelie's pregnancy puzzled everyone, leaving room for speculation – did she have a plan? Maelie's future as a secret wife hung in the balance, fraught with uncertainties and dangers. Erland's choice loomed large, forcing them all to confront the consequences of their actions.
