Unknown to Aiman, Faisal has begun an affair with Saman, again, after Azar's death. Faisal decides to end his marriage to Aiman and offers her a Apartment and monthly retainer so she won't need anything financially. He also lies to Aiman about Hadid wanting Saman back which causes a heartbroken Aiman to leave. Meanwhile, Saman remarries Faisal. Hadid, later discovers that Aiman has left and that Saman only returned because Azar has died. He reacts with outrage and accuses Saman of returning only because her former life is gone. He disowns her as well as his father. Hadid later brings Aiman home, although she is resistant at first, she realizes her adopted son was never at fault and his refusal to be a part of Faisal's plan is what delayed it for so long.
