As Nicole embarked on her new journey, she faced several unexpected challenges. Hidden truths from her past came to light, alongside dramas and plots from those who wished her harm. Could Nicole put her past behind her and embrace the future, or could she get the love she had wasted for so many years?

Ketika aku mengetahui bahwa Navish lebih memilih untuk mengantar obat flu untuk asistennya, sementara aku terjebak di lift dengan klaustrofobia, aku memutuskan untuk mengajukan cerai. Navish dengan cepat menandatangani dokumen itu. Dia bahkan tertawa santai kepada temannya dan berkata, "Dia cuma ngambek. Lagian, orang tuanya sudah meninggal, dia nggak mungkin benar-benar menceraikan aku." "Selain itu, bukankah ada masa tunggu 30 hari untuk perceraian? Kalau dia menyesal, aku bisa bermurah hati memaafkannya dan dia pasti akan kembali padaku," tambahnya sambil tersenyum percaya diri.
