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!" both Michael and Zen shouted at the same time.
"Let go of her!" Michael raised the gun in his hand and pointed it towards Christian's head.
Christian gave a laugh and pressed the knife deeper into Wendy's neck. Wendy's neck started to have blood streaking down her fair skin. The pain from the cut made Wendy whimper. Her cry made Michael feel anxious and devastated.
"Do you want to put it to the test, to see if your gun is faster than my knife?"
Christian said spitefully. "Oh right, there is one more being in Wendy's womb. If you really want to test me, the price of it will be high."
Michael did not dare take the risk. He could not bear to see Wendy get hurt in any way.
"Christian, let go of Wendy. If you need a hostage, let it be me instead." Zen endured the pain and said, "I volunteer to swap places with her."
If it was not to save Zen, Wendy would not have run over to her aid and she would not be seized by Christian.
