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 knew that Michael would find out the truth about her children sooner or later, and that he would surely ask about their whereabouts when that time came. Since she was back in Lake city where Michael was such an influential figure, it would be impossible to hide the truth from him. However, she could not let him get his way and learn about the truth so easily.
Blinking innocently, she reached out to push Michael away. With a fearful look in her eyes, she said, "Mr. Lucas, your actions are... too inappropriate."
Michaell remained unmoved. Instead, he leaned in more and further closed the distance between them. His breath fanned across her face. "I respect you if you don't wish to admit your real identity. You claim to not know who I am, and I don't mind starting over again with you..." said Michael in a serious tone, "But we can't do this with the child. I hope you can tell me the truth."
