The cherry on the top was that Maya was pregnant, but now the question arises about whose child she was carrying. On the other hand, Maya's boyfriend Peyton (Alec Nevin) told her about his affair with Misha, sparking a conflict between the two sisters. Although Misha was trying to make everything normal and find out the real culprit, all her efforts were going in vain.

Meanwhile, Maya was given poison at the hospital to intentionally kill her and the baby. In addition, Maya wasn't ready to forgive Misha for being in an affair with her boyfriend. However, after the baby was born, Maya realized how much Misha suffered for her and felt guilty about her behavior.
