The Unyielding Phoenix (MUW 1)

Regret quickly consumed Stefan after the divorce. He never anticipated that his once dull ex-wife would move on so swiftly, thriving in her newfound life. Suddenly, a young heir from an influential family declared himself her subordinate, a famous celebrity admitted to being her fan, and even one of the country's wealthiest individuals called her their mentor. 'I don't care how powerful your connections are, Renee Everheart. I'll tear down the walls you've built ' With that, the second son of the Hunt family decided to secretly protect her. Stefan would say, "My ex-wife is so fragile she can barely stand on her own; you mustn't take advantage of her." But everyone else would respond, "Who would dare mess with her? She'd tear our heads off over the slightest disagreement " Stefan insisted, "My ex-wife is too naive; you shouldn't play with her emotions." Yet people would retort, "Naive? We've never seen a woman so unapologetically assertive " Stefan would try, "Let me introduce you to this powerful figure, darling." But the so-called powerful figure would bow deeply, "No, no, she's the boss around here I hope you'll accept my utmost respect " From then on, Stefan lived a double life-an almighty CEO by day, but by night, he'd be on his knees, desperately trying to win Renee's heart back.
