A wealthy man was indulging in a playful escapade with his young mistress in the bathroom when his equally affluent wife unexpectedly arrived. In a panic, he hid his mistress underwater, and pretended that the bath was a surprise for his beloved. While she was getting ready to soak up, the man went back for his mistress. There was a mixture of affection and hurtfulness in her eyes, but he merely saw it as a temporary setback. Despite assuring her that he would leave his wife, the girl had her doubts. In an attempt to calm his mistress down, he offered her a substantial sum of money, convinced that it would solve everything. Shortly after, the man dismissed the girl, leaving her feeling insulted and shattered.

Yet, this incident was only the prologue to a complex narrative in which the lives of each main character intertwined as new ones emerged, intricately shaping the destinies of those involved.
