No one expected that just days after the fairytale wedding between Leo Stark and Javi Hernandez, a “ghost from the past” would suddenly return to shatter their budding happiness.

It was Dimitri von Leuschner, the man who had once thrown Salem into turmoil with his scheming and ambiguous relationship with Leo.

And this time, Dimitri didn’t return to atone for his past mistakes – but to reclaim what he believed belonged to him.

From the moment he stepped into Horton Square, Dimitri’s cold smile and sharp gaze silenced the crowd.

Leo stood frozen, Javi bewildered and deeply hurt upon recognizing the man who had once been a “shadow” in her husband’s heart. The joyful wedding atmosphere instantly transformed into an emotional battlefield. Dimitri’s seemingly gentle words were as sharp as a knife – bringing up the past between him and Leo, piercing Javi’s heart.

Dimitri wasn’t just stirring up emotional turmoil. He also revealed his intention to regain control of Salem, secretly collaborating with Gwen Rizczech – Leo’s former best friend. This duo is described as “two people adding fuel to the fire,” spreading rumors, fabricating evidence, and causing chaos throughout the town. Every time Dimitri appears, the audience feels a chilling wind blowing through Salem – signaling an impending storm of drama.

Leo, despite trying to reassure Javi that his current feelings are genuine, his gaze towards Dimitri is filled with conflict – fear, regret, and an inability to make a decision. Meanwhile, Dimitri, with a dangerous smile, silently vows: “If I can’t have Leo, then no one else is allowed to have him.” And so, a tumultuous love triangle officially erupted between three men in this small, never-peaceful city.
