She wanted to revoke her married status before leaving to France where she was planning to settle for good. However, Lander wouldn't sign the papers so easily. He had too many conditions and demands. She needed to put up with his stubbornness and continuous ego tripping. Never in her wildest dream that the period she amounted to erase her bad past would actually result in falling in love to her estranged husband all over again.
