A heartbroken Fatih decides to return to Turkey. While in the flight, due to a turbulence, Fatih and Zeynep ran into one another. Fatih, who doesn't want to marry İrem, offers Zeynep to pretend to be his wife and Selim to be his son in front of his family so that he would be able to settle his issue for sometime. On the other hand, Zeynep, who was also worried about telling her father about her baby and Ertan, agrees it as Fatih agrees to pretend as Selim's father. After arriving at İstanbul, they visit Fatih's wealthy family first, where Fatih introduces Zeynep to his family. His family members consist of his parents Fehmi and Mukaddes, his younger sister Selin and his paternal grandmother Gülsüm Şekercizade. Fatih's family accepts Zeynep and her son after a short while, except for Fatih's mother, Mukaddes, who hates Zeynep and Selim more than anything else and plans to kick her out of Fatih's life at any cost. On the other hand, Zeynep also introduces Fatih to her family - a middle-class family consisting of her father Şevket, her paternal aunt Yadigar and her cousins, Orhan and Elifsu. At first the family members seem to be hesitant, however, later they come to accept Fatih. However, Şevket, who seemed to be upset with Zeynep as she had left him, takes his anger out on Fatih by ordering his nephew Orhan to abduct Selin. Orhan, who happens to obey every order from his uncle, abducts Selin and both get married against Selin's will. However, this creates a rift between both families for a while, but then the issues get settled and the families eventually start to accept each other. Zeynep and Fatih gradually start to understand one another more every day after Zeynep confesses her past with Ertan to Fatih. Orhan and Selin genuinely fall in love with each another. Mete and Fadik (the respective best friends of Fatih and Zeynep) also given them all support in every manner. As the story moves on, Fatih develops a loving relationship with Selim and starts to consider him as his own son and falls in love with Zeynep. They stay happy until Zeynep's long-lost mother Meryem (whom Zeynep thought to be dead) returns from Europe as a business tycoon. Upon learning this, Şevket tries to keep her away from Meryem as he misunderstood that Meryem left them for another man. Meryem tries to purchase the business of Fatih's family, but gives up when she discovers that Fatih is Zeynep's husband and that Zeynep is her daughter. Meryem then tries to reconcile with Zeynep by befriending her first as an employer and Şevket informs Meryem's truth to Fatih, who helps him to keep Meryem away from Zeynep in order to preserve her happiness. Meryem soon informs Şevket how she always loved her family and how she was threatened to leave her family and had to leave with a man. This reunites Şevket and Meryem, and Şevket reveals Meryem's truth to Zeynep who gets shocked and stays away from her "lying" parents for a while. Soon, she leaves Fatih after she finds that Fatih also being involved with this. However, Fatih tries to explain himself in every way, but she simply refuses to listen to him. Upon realizing her mistake, Zeynep apologizes for him. Fatih later proposes to Zeynep and decides to genuinely marry in secret. However, Zeynep feels quite guilty upon hiding the reality from their loved ones and families and convinces Fatih to tell the truth to both families, which they eventually do. After that, Fatih's family disowns Zeynep and Selim, leading to Fatih disowning his family, surname and legacy for Zeynep and Selim. On the other side, Şevket encourages his daughter of being strong by giving birth to Selim and Fatih as being a true human. Fatih and Zeynap then move in to Zeynep's family. Since the family was middle-class with so many people living under the same roof, including the neighbors Ayfer and her daughters Fadik and Saziment, Fatih had to compromise his lifestyle and find a job to meet Zeynep's and Selim's needs. Moreover, upon realizing the selfish behavior of her family (mostly from Mukaddes) towards Fatih and Zeynep, Selin also decides to leave home and moves in with Zeynep's family. The home becomes a livelihood of so many people living together and proves to be a heaven for Fatih and Selin in a short time. With time, Zeynep also develops a healthy relationship with her parents. Meryem also leaves her villa and moves in with the family. Time passes, and the family stays happy, until Vahit enters their life. Vahit's ego believes that Meryem had poisoned his brother in order to get his business, abducts Zeynep and poisons her. Upon being discovered, Zeynep is found poisoned and was rushed to hospital from where everyone try to find the antidote as soon. However, they cannot convince Vahit for the antidote until Ertan shows up with the antidote. Zeynep is saved, and Şevket thanks him greatly. Ertan tries to win Zeynep over again, not knowing that he is Selim's biological father. However, Fatih's family realizes their mistake and braces Zeynap and Selim as their own. Zeynep and Fatih get marry on the same day with Orhan and Selin. Mukaddes, however, had somehow found the truth about Ertan's paternal tie with Selim and blackmails Zeynep into leaving Fatih under the threat of publicly revealing the truth about Ertan's son. Zeynep and Fatih soon come up with a plan: they pretend to be quarrelling and then fake a divorce, this time in front of even their best friends and families, thus stopping Mukaddes from creating future troubles for them. The couple then "fights" in front of everybody and "divorces" one another. Upon learning about the "divorce" and Zeynep leaving the Şekercizade villa, Mukaddes becomes so happy that almost forgets Ertan, while on the other hand, both families fall into deep sadness. While both the families are grieving, Mukaddes asks Fatih to remarry somebody with her choice this time, but Fatih comes up with a lie of having a secret lover and thus having cheated on Zeynep in order to escape his mother's grasp, thus adding more happiness for Mukaddes. Now, the couple decides to find somebody to pretend to be Fatih's lover and thus reaches Şaziment. Though Şaziment had been the part of Zeynep's family but since she had never left her room in years therefore nobody in Fatih's family had seen her before, also Şaziment had proven to be trustworthy for Zeynep and Fatih, who then try to convince her to work with them by first letting her know their secret. Şaziment finally agrees by pretending to be an American-Turkish girl named Melissa who had come from New York to "marry" Fatih.Cast
