He Cheated, So I Slept With His Father
One year into her marriage, Eileen’s husband Thomas is cheating on her with Vanessa, the Godfather’s niece. To prove his devotion, he even locks himself in a chastity cage, determined to throw Eileen out with nothing. But the Carter family matriarch gives her only two options: save the marriage, or “die for him” before the divorce goes through. Three years ago, that’s exactly how the second sister “fell” from the balcony. Desperate to climb the ladder, Thomas kneels in public to kiss the shoes of Victor Hale, King of the Underworld, calling him “Father” at every turn.
Story Guide
Episode 1
Eileen has reached the end of her rope. Her husband Thomas is cheating with Vanessa, the Godfather's niece, and the Carter matriarch offers her only two choices: win Thomas back and save the marriage, or die before any divorce goes through—the same way her sister "fell" from a balcony three years ago. With Thomas already curled at Vanessa's feet and Vanessa ruthless toward any woman in her way, every road seems to end in death. So Eileen makes a desperate move, turning to the one man this city fears: Victor Hale, the King of the Underworld.
Episode 2
Eileen has thrown herself at Victor Hale's mercy, but mercy isn't what he deals in. He tells her tears won't buy protection—she has to show him what she's offering. Cornered, with Thomas wanting her gone and Vanessa wanting her dead, she has nowhere else to turn and pleads with him to save her. Victor tests her resolve, pouring drinks and watching to see if she'll flinch. What does he finally decide? He's satisfied—a deal is struck. Eileen walks away stunned that she actually pulled it off, though the real cost of their bargain is only beginning to show.
Episode 3
Thomas catches Eileen near Victor and assumes the worst—that she's fantasizing about him. He insists he'd never touch her again and reveals he's locked himself in a chastity cage to prove his devotion to Vanessa, who keeps the key. Meanwhile, Eileen hears a rumor: Victor once had his eye on a Carter girl right before her marriage, until something went wrong in Europe and he cut ties. Thomas warns her to watch herself around Victor. Then Vanessa has Eileen slapped for wearing a sapphire necklace in "her" color, and Eileen realizes she can't just wait to be destroyed.
Episode 4
Eileen finds Victor at his Saturday polo match and approaches him, determined to make her own case. She invites him to her grandmother's eightieth birthday party, hoping her family can mend things with him face to face. When Victor notices her injured face, he presses for the truth, and she admits Vanessa had her slapped over the sapphire necklace. Something in his reaction tells her he recognized her—and never forgot. She walks away feeling she's won this round. But why does the King of the Underworld seem to know her so well?
Episode 5
Lucy bursts in with the news: Vanessa crossed the wrong person and Victor slapped her three times in front of all his men. Eileen is stunned—he avenged her that fast. Then Thomas arrives, announcing that Victor has officially agreed to attend the grandmother's birthday party after Thomas pitched him personally. Thomas boasts about how much Victor must value him. But when a package arrives, Eileen opens it to find a pigeon-blood ruby worth at least ten million. She's certain who sent it—and what it means for tomorrow.
Episode 6
On the way to the party, Martha scolds Eileen's ruby as too flashy, so Thomas pulls over and buys her a cheap necklace instead, insisting it suits her better. At the party, Eileen hands the ruby to Martha, who gloats over it—never guessing it was Victor's gift. Meanwhile, Aunt Amelia overhears the city's elite gossiping: years ago Victor fell for a Carter girl, then flew to Europe to clean house, and by the time he returned, she'd married Thomas. When Victor arrives, he barely tolerates the matchmaking—until he learns who's really in the room.
Episode 7
Aunt Amelia greets Eileen warmly and asks whether Thomas treats her well; Eileen insists everything is fine, still protecting her marriage. Victor arrives, and the room shifts. When someone tries to introduce him to other single Carter women, he brushes them off, buys his way out of the conversation, and makes clear he isn't interested in matchmaking. Amelia pieces it together: Victor didn't come for her at all—he came to see Eileen. The question now is what he intends to do about the girl he once let get away.
Episode 8
Eileen is scolded: Martha is parading around in Eileen's ruby while Eileen wears a cheap chain Thomas grabbed off a rack. Eileen admits she gave the ruby away and has been giving in to Thomas at every turn, just as the matriarch ordered. Her family refuses to let the Carters look like a joke and sends for the jewelry case. Then comes the real lesson: figure out what each person cares about most—money, reputation, power—and use them, even family. Eileen finally shows she's learning to hit back.
