Secret Relationship

Short after Lydia arrives in Düsseldorf, she has a destined encounter with Sebastian von Lahnstein. They meet at the coffee lounge "NoLimits" and Sebastian immediately begins to fall for the young beautiful blond. Meanwhile, Lydia begins to work for the Department of Children's and Young People's Affairs. Her first case is about the custody battle over Hannes von Lahnstein, who was recently kidnapped by his mother Tanja von Anstetten and now lives with his father Ansgar von Lahnstein at Castle Königsbrunn. When Sebastian wants to go out with Lydia again and she finds out who she's really dealing with, Lydia realizes that Sebastian is Ansgar's cousin. Fearing to lose her first case because of a conflict of interest, Lydia wants Sebastian to stay away from her. Because she has no intention of ruining her young career. But Lydia and Sebastian can't stay away from each other and Sebastian plans to win her over by a romantic dinner.

Lydia isn't sure if she should go to her date with Sebastian. In the end, she decides to follow her heart, when she is attacked by a stranger and rescued by no other than Hannes' mother Tanja. Lydia is very thankful to her and the two even fearing to share some friendly bound, when Sebastian warns her about Tanja. He thinks that she could be behind the attack to win her over in Hannes' case. Lydia decides to ask her great-cousin Arno Brandner, who has known Tanja for a very long time and is agreeing that she's a very dangerous woman and goes over dead bodies to get what she wants. While in shock of what comes to light, Sebastian plans another romantic date, which ends with a magical dance for the lovebirds. Lydia gives in to the relationship with Sebastian, but makes it clear to him that it has to be a secret until she finishes Hannes' case. Sebastian tries to understand, but Lydia has to take her job several times over her love for Sebastian, which leads to tension between them.

When Ansgar finds out about their relationship, he takes matters into his own hands and makes it his agenda to break Lydia and Sebastian up. He uses Sebastian's computer to send a mail to Lydia's boss, which proves the relationship between them. Lydia, thinking about the fights she had with Sebastian over her job, thinks he's guilty and ends things with him. Sebastian tries to prove that he was set up, but Lydia is filled with anger and disappointment and tells Sebastian that's over between them.
