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?"
Yet again, Michael and Todd's conversation had ended on an unhappy note. But then again, Todd's argument was reasonable. And Michael had no right to stop him from paying a visit to Wendy's mom.
If not for Leah, who had unwittingly told him about the planned trip, he would not have known about his wife taking another man home to meet her family. This new twist with Todd in the frame was adding more stress to his already strained relationship with Wendy!
Michael resolved to tread carefully from now on and not make any rash moves.
At the very least, he told himself that he must not engage in any open clashes with Todd because that would definitely incur Wendy's wrath and put him in her bad books.
He had to plan his next move very carefully.
When they arrived at the hotel where Todd was staying, Michael said emotionlessly, "Here we are. This is where you get off."
