Five years after she left, Victoria comes back to the one man she swore never to see again — not for romance, but because only another child of his can save their sick daughter's life.
Victoria disappears from Alexander's life for five years. She returns when their daughter Sunny's leukemia reaches the point where only matched umbilical-cord blood can save her. Cornered, she finds Alexander again and asks him bluntly to sleep with her so they can have another child. He remembers the leaving, distrusts every word, and reads the offer as a seduction from someone who never stopped wanting his position.

The reunion opens with the five-year gap standing between them. People in his circle still talk about how she ran away and canceled every contact, and Alexander greets her return with the version of himself who survived the split: cold, watching, and unwilling to take her seriously. Victoria has not come back to apologize; her daughter Sunny cannot wait for the old argument to be settled, and the only cure path in front of them needs matched umbilical-cord blood.
Her request is stated plainly in the first meeting: "Mr. Alexander, sleep with me. Let's have a child." Alexander separates the two ideas on purpose — a baby he will consider, sleeping together he will not. He reminds her that leaving five years ago should have taught her the consequences, and says she cannot seriously believe she can still climb into his bed now. She answers that if there had been any other way, she would not have come: if she had been allowed to give birth back then, if Sunny had not fallen ill, she would not need his help at all.
The pressure tightens in episode two when another woman claims she is pregnant with Alexander's child, and he threatens to make that woman and the child disappear together. Victoria realizes she cannot let him know about her own child's situation openly, even as Sunny is rushed to the emergency room behind her. Episode four puts her back in his club world, where a different man buys drinks and offers money; she refuses that suitor's attention outright, making clear the man she came for is Alexander.
She left Alexander five years ago and raised Sunny alone until the leukemia diagnosis forced her back to his door. She asks for a second child not to rebuild a marriage but to get the umbilical-cord blood that matches Sunny, knowing he will likely read the request as a trap.
"Mr. Alexander, last time... to save Sunny, I have to use you. I need another child from you." — the request in his study
He built his life on top of the years after Victoria walked out, and he keeps the old resentment close in every exchange. He refuses to treat her plea as a medical emergency, splitting the baby from the relationship and assuming she still wants access to his world.
"5 years ago when you left, you should have known the consequences. Victoria, you don't really think you can still climb into my bed now, do you?" — answering her request
The opening arc covers the reunion after five years, the blunt request for another child, the pregnancy claim that flares up, and the club standoff where she refuses every other man. Four editorial picks from episodes 1, 2 and 4 — no ending spoilers.
After five years away, Victoria walks back into Alexander's orbit and states her request without softening it. The circle around him still repeats that she ran away and dropped every contact, so her plain ask lands inside a room already prejudiced against her.
The diagnosis leaves only one matching path: Sunny needs umbilical-cord blood, and that blood has to come from another child born of Alexander. Victoria carries that fact through every cold exchange of the reunion.
Alexander separates wanting a baby from wanting him, telling her only children pretend they can have both. He reminds her of the consequences she chose five years ago and doubts the whole thing is anything but a bid to get back into his bed.
In the club another man buys her drinks and openly offers money; a friend warns Alexander not to forget how she treated him before. Victoria turns the suitor aside and says plainly that the bed she wants to get into is his.

Our editors' notes on the opening arc — personal picks, not audience feedback.
"The show puts the medical reason in the room before any romance can start, which keeps Victoria's motive legible even when Alexander refuses to read it that way. Her request is so blunt that the confrontation becomes less about seduction and more about whether he can tell duty from revenge."
"The pregnancy claim inserted into this arc works as a pressure test: it shows how fast Alexander assumes the worst of Victoria, and why she hides what she knows about Sunny's condition. That distrust is the wall every later scene has to walk around."
Best for viewers who like CEO reunion romances driven by a sick-child premise and a sharp, unsentimental lead woman; if you want slow courtship rather than a high-stakes request, the opening episodes stay tense and transactional. Compared with most single-mother reunion shorts, this one keeps the medical emergency in the foreground rather than behind the romance — that focus is both its strength and its limit.
