They return to find their villa ruined, and a tense exchange reveals their marriage is transactional: the husband insists, "Only I am your husband... Only I can be the father," promising heirs and loyalty. The wife presses him about love; he cites a pact to stay professional. He vows to auction the tainted villa and offers a replacement from his family's VI estate on the eastside—land he quietly secured on their turf. The key turn comes when he admits he has loved her for over a decade. They agree to marry, then someone shouts "Ian!", leaving their next move in doubt.
