After three years of marriage, Wendy Stewart was used to Michael Lucas's sarcastic remarks, his frequent threats about getting divorced, and even his indulgence of a mistress. She thought that she could bear with this her entire life, until she accidentally got pregnant with a child that Michael did not want. Finally despondent, Wendy signed the divorce agreement and left. She thought they could have parted ways forever, but Michael refused to stop looking for her after the divorce. When they met again, she was the world's top designer. Smiling sweetly at her ex-husband, she said, "My dear, we're already divorced." Michael simply stared at her coldly, "Tell me, what will it take for us to reconcile?"
Wendy slowly shook her head when she thought about that possibility. "No wonder I kept running into that man. I thought he was some pervert. But he was actually sent by you," she said. "Michael Lucas, what do you want? You want a divorce but also want to maintain your image as a devoted and passionate man? So you arranged to have such photographs taken and when they are made public, everyone will think that I was the unfaithful one. Not only would your persona stay intact, but you'd also get sympathy. Am I right?"
Michael found Wendy's outburst more and more absurd.
Over the past two or three days, Wendy's misunderstanding of him has deepened too much, so deep that Michael could not explain himself.
Because no matter what he said, Wendy no longer believed him.
Her mind was already made up. He was good to her because of the persona he wanted to maintain, and he really did have a relationship with Yonina Collins.
