not happening...

Ivania swallows, ”No, I'm punished with neglect. It's as if I'm not there, as if I'm a ghost in the house.“ Leila takes her hand and holds it tightly. Then she says, ”Ivania, that's abuse, emotional abuse." Leila turns to Stan, “Please get us something to eat and we'll be in my office.” Then she takes Ivania to her office. She sits there with her and explains what happened to her. She shows her the photos and the doctor's report. Then she leans back and Ivania begins to tell her story. She takes her phone and shows her the nasty comments and every picture Peter's mother has sent her. Peter is always seen with another woman and sometimes even kissing her. Leila asks, “Would you like me to help you?” Ivania looks at her and swallows: “I love him.” Leila nods, “OK, so that's what you want?” Ivania sighs, "No, if I keep going like this, I'll die. I want to break up with him, but I can't do it alone.“ Leila calls a number and asks, ”Can you come to my office, please?“ Then she turns to Ivania, ”I can take you home with Terrance later—we'll get your things and if you want, you can stay with me until you're on your own. With those pictures alone, I can get you a divorce, do you want that?“ Ivania thinks of the many lonely nights she cried herself to sleep and nods, ”Yes, please. But we don't need to take much. They all think I'm a gold digger, but that's not really the case. I first saw Peter when I ended up in the hands of kidnappers. We were a group of children, and I think you were there too, and Nicholas.“ Leila stares at her, ”Do you have anything about that? I can't remember anything.“ Ivania shows her her wrist. ”I have a scar here, and you should have one too." Leila looks and sure enough, she has a scar too. Ivania takes her hand and explains: “You removed the trackers from our wrists and helped us escape. You were the smallest and youngest, and you were so smart. Anyway, that's where I first met Peter, and I've had a crush on him ever since. But I just have to understand that he doesn't have feelings for me.” The door opens and Terrance Keller enters. Leila looks at him and explains that you can annul a divorce... She stops and looks at Ivania: “Have you... you know?” Ivania shakes her head, “No, he never shared my bed.” Leila looks at Terrance, throws Ivania's cell phone at him and asks, “Divorce on grounds of emotional abuse?” Terrance nods, “I'll prepare everything if Mrs. Crowl would like me to.” Ivania nods, “Yes, please.” Terrance explains, "Mr. Stratton will be here shortly and then we'll get everything ready. Can I extract the pictures and messages from your phone? We'll include that as the reason.“ Ivania nods, ”Just take the phone.“ Leila turns to Terrance and says, ”Oh, and I'd like my family to come over today.“ Then she turns to Ivania, ”Do you want to get your things? I think it's better if we act right away. You only need your personal things; we'll get your clothes and everything else later.“ Ivania: ”Um, I don't have any money. I used all my money to pay for the wedding.“ Leila pats her hand and says, ”Don't worry, I have money and you work for me.“ Tears run down Ivania's cheeks and she says, ”Thank you."

Leila and Ivania drive to the Crowl family home with four bodyguards. They get out and Ivania leads them inside. No one speaks to her, but when they see Leila, the butler suddenly runs away and shortly afterwards Mrs. Crowl, Peter Crowl's mother, comes down and yells, “This is trespassing. Get out of here. You have no business here.” Leila ignores the woman and quickly follows Ivania, who is staying in a tiny room. Leila shakes her head, photographs the entire room, and when she has everything, she says, “Leave the clothes here. It looks like you haven't had any new clothes since you moved in here. Only take your personal belongings.” Ivania nods and takes only a bag with her personal belongings. She quickly takes her personal papers and folders, packs everything together, and looks around one last time. She nods and says, “Now I have everything.” Leila hugs her and says, “I know how hard this is for you. And if he's your destiny, then at least he'll try to get to know you now. He hasn't done that so far, and he's cheated on you with other women over and over again.” She sighs: “Personally, I don't want someone who can't love me for who I am. Someone who is only there for me and doesn't have another woman in his life.” Ivania nods: “You're right.” Leila replies: “Sure, it won't be easy. But first you have to love yourself, and only then—when you're strong—will you maybe meet someone who likes you for who you are.” They go downstairs together and another car arrives. Stratton gets out of the car and shows her the papers. Ivania takes a pen and signs immediately. She says, “I just want the annulment, I don't want any money or alimony. If I can't get the annulment, then I'll go the normal route and use the photos—they show that my husband cheated on me.” Stratton nods, gathers the papers and says, “Then I'll take care of Mr. Crowl.” Mrs. Crowl is still yelling, but everyone ignores her completely. Leila and Ivania leave the house, get into the limousine and drive away. Stratton gets into the other car and drives to Nicholas's company.
