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?"
The pain made Christian gasp. It nearly caused him to pass out. Enduring the agony, Christian tried his best to remain sober. But it was too much for him to bear, and he unwittingly released Wendy, who took the opportunity to escape as fast as she could.
Soon, Christian's men came to him. Seeing that Christian was injured, one of his bodyguards immediately stooped to help him. "Mr. Lucas, how are you? I will get your wound treated immediately."
"Give me the gun," Christian said as he fought to stay conscious.
His bodyguard did not know what Christian wanted with a gun at this time, but he obeyed anyway.
Christian took aim at Wendy and pulled the trigger. His mind was filled with the image of Wendy firing a shot at him. The rational side of him was aware that he should not want a woman who betrayed him.
