The Second Chance He Didn't Deserve

Lucas drives his Maybach past a traffic light when a stranger asks whether the woman beside him is still the one who once suffered with him. The passenger seat no longer holds his wife; only his secretary's silk scarf remains. At home, a divorce agreement waits on the table, and a pregnancy test with two lines lies in the trash. The nanny, Mrs. Zhang, tells him his wife has moved to the suburban villa and is pregnant, their first child in five years.

He finds her and is given two choices: transfer all his assets to her name and grant her custody of the child, or divorce at once, split the assets equally, and she will have an abortion. She is not afraid of divorce; she simply refuses to let their shared wealth fall cheaply to the mistress. Lucas chooses the first option, and their marriage is given a suspended death sentence.

Yet he does not know that everything is part of her plan, and that his hesitation is exactly what she is counting on.
