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?"
That day was probably Zen's best chance at getting away. They hadn't expected that Christian would use such unscrupulous methods to stop her.
Zen forced a smile and shook her head. "Forget it. You saw what Christian did back there. We both know a man like him is capable of anything. Anyway, he's right.
Without his permission, I will not be able to leave him. I cannot possibly endanger the lives of family and other innocent people to get away from him. Even if I manage to escape, my conscience will not be clear."
"Zen..." Wendy grasped Zen's hand tightly and said regretfully, "I'm sorry, I wasn't able to help you today."
"You tried your best." Zen knew that Wendy tried to help her wholeheartedly.
No matter how many times Zen had betrayed their friendship, Wendy still helped her without reservation.
Zen knew there was no way she could ever repay Wendy for her kindness.
