Summary
Lu Jingxiu and I had spent five years at war with each other, married all the while.
He flew to Paris for a conference the night before our engagement ceremony.
I flew to Switzerland on business the day before our wedding.
He called me useless in public.
I called him a piece of trash in a magazine.
His assistant, the doe-eyed actress, the women who’d attended his university after him—all came, one after another, to demand that I step aside.
My male trainer, my burly bodyguard, and the younger men from my university kept turning up at our door to see how I was doing.
He wouldn’t back down. Neither would I.
Then the servant’s daughter appeared at my welcome-home dinner.
She wasn’t as capable as the assistant, as innocent-looking as the actress, or as sexy as the younger alumna.
Everyone expected me to use my money and influence to throw this one out, too.
Instead, I took off my wedding ring and stood up.
