Wayne pressed his thin lips into a straight line. “Danica, get your ass
back here. Now!”
Danica smiled, “Why should I? Just because you want me to? Wayne, we’re divorced. I don’t have to take orders from you anymore.”
Wayne said through gritted teeth, “I’ll give you a chance to rewrite the reason for the divorce.”
She smiled even more heartily, “No need. I didn’t say anything wrong, did I? Wayne, it’s been six months since you woke up from the coma, but you have never even held my hand once. Though you seem healthy now, you were a vegetable for three years after all, and I have every reason to suspect you’re impotent. A piece of friendly advice–go and see a skilled doctor as soon as possible. Hope you can ‘get back on your feet‘ soon.”
Wayne said nothing.
He could feel the veins in his forehead throbbing.
How dare she!
“Danica, I swear I’m gonna make you realize how wrong you are sooner or later!”
“Oops, too late. That’s not gonna happen.”
“Danica!”
Utterly furious, he was about to lash out when he heard the beeping sounds.

She hung up.
Gnashing his teeth, he snarled, “Danica!”

Meanwhile, Danica was in the apartment of Florence Conway, her bestie. Florence chuckled as she hung up and gave her a thumbs–up, saying, “Kudos, Dani. I bet Wayne is burning with rage right now.‘
By now, Danica had already realized her mistake. She used to love Wayne so humbly, which was why he was always so condescending.
But self–worth beat everything.
Women who didn’t cherish themselves were bound to be looked down
- on.
Muchers
Florence said, “Jennifer fled after she knew about his accident three years ago. Now that he’s awoken, he still wants to be with her? You made the right choice by leaving him, Dani.”
Danica placed a candy in her mouth, hoping the sweetness could dissipate the bitterness in her heart. “I guess that’s the difference between being loved and not being loved.”
Those being loved could act as willfully as they wanted to.
But those who were unloved had to walk on eggshells all day long.
Florence glanced over and noticed Danica had eaten a pile of candies.
She decisively dragged Danica to stand up. “Chin up, Dani. You’ve got your freedom back, and that’s what’s important. You’re single now! I’ll order eight male escorts to get you a divorce party tonight!”
Danica smiled helplessly.

Florence suddenly reached out, took off Danica’s glasses, and tossed them into the bin.
Danica bent over to pick them up. “My glasses…‘
”
Florence stopped her. “Dani, you’ve buried in your research for too long. It’s time to get rid of those thick glasses. Think about Jennifer— you should also dress up.”
All of a sudden, Liliana’s words echoed in Danica’s mind-“She’s the swan, and you’re the ugly duckling.”
Maybe Wayne thought so, too.
Florence pulled her out of the door. “Let’s go shopping. I’ll take you to do your hair and nails and buy you clothes. Let’s prove all of them wrong. Wayne will be slack–jawed at seeing how pretty you are!”
She suddenly thought of something. “Dani, are you sure you don’t want his money?”
Danica said, “I have money.”
“Jennifer will be so thankful to know you’ve left her with all the
money.”
Danica parted her lips but didn’t know what to say.
“Where’s the card Wayne gave you?” Florence asked.
Wayne, always generous, had given Danica a premium black card, but she had never used it.
She found it in her bag and blinked playfully. “Tonight’s on Waynę
then.”

Night arrived.
1996 Bar had always been the most popular spot in Marinburg where trust fund kids squandered their money. Tonight, as usual, its dance floor was packed with people, moving in a frenzy to every exaggerated sweep of the DJ’s arms.
Under the dim lights, Wayne sat on the main seat of the VIP booth. He was wearing a black shirt and suit pants tonight, with his sleeves rolled up a little, revealing his firm forearms and a seven–figure watch on his wrist. Many women in the bar couldn’t even take their eyes off his strikingly handsome face.
The person sitting next to Wayne was Emilio Griffin, the heir of the Griffin family, and they were accompanied by a few other wealthy heirs.
Emilio burst into laughter. “What did you say, Wayne? Danica wants a divorce?”
The rest laughed, too. “Everyone knows she’s your simp, Wayne. She married you without hesitation when you were in a vegetative state. Why the heck would she leave you now?”
“Let’s make a bet on how long before she comes crawling back to Wayne.”
Emilio said, “I bet she won’t even last today. For all we know, she might text Wayne in the next second.”
Wayne, however, pulled a long face. Clearly, he was in a bad mood.
He took out his phone and pulled out his chat interface with Danica on WhatsApp.
Their last conversation happened last night. She sent him a photo of

the soup she made and texted him, “Honey, I know the test results show you’ve recovered perfectly now, but I still want you to have something more nutritious. I’m waiting for you at home.”
As he scrolled up, he saw nothing but the messages she had sent him.
She texted him every day, but he had never replied to her.
Never.
His phone was exceptionally quiet today because she didn’t even text him once.
He felt irritated, though he didn’t know why.
Suddenly, his phone dinged.
It was a text.
Emilio immediately said, “What did I say, guys? I bet it’s Danica!”
Before anyone could say anything, Wayne’s phone dinged a few more times.
He received several messages in a row.
The men around them couldn’t help but laugh. “We all knew Danica would regret it, but who would have thought she’d give in so quickly?”
Emilio urged, “Wayne, check them out. Let’s see how desperate she is.”
Wayne arched an eyebrow slightly, thinking, “Did Danica text me after all?
“What’s the point of pulling such a stunt then?
“So much for her pride.”

He tapped the screen and was stunned in the next second.
Emilio leaned over and read the text out loud, “Dear VVIP customer, your card ending in 0975 has been charged 130 dollars at Fancy Nails.”
The rest were puzzled.
As Wayne scrolled up, he saw that Danica had spent 300 dollars at Grace Salon, 14 thousand dollars at the Chanel boutique, and 40 thousand dollars at the Louis Vuitton boutique.
It was never about Danica wanting to get back together with him.
All he received was bank notifications.
No one said a word.
They somehow felt being slapped by her.
With a livid face, Wayne slammed his phone onto the table. He couldn’t care less how much Danica had spent. What annoyed him was the fact that she went shopping right after their divorce. Good for her!
Over the past three years, she had done whatever he asked, not complaining once. But suddenly, she became a completely different
person.
Emilio said, “Wayne, what’s gotten into Danica? She actually bought new clothes and even got her nails and hair done? Is she trying to copy Jenny’s style?”
“Jennifer is the Muse in Marinburg, but she’s just a bumpkin from the countryside. No matter how she tries, she’s just gonna make a bigger fool of herself.”
“Hasn’t she learned? The ugly duckling can never become the swan.”

Everyone was ridiculing Danica.
Suddenly, a commotion drew their attention. They looked over, and someone exclaimed, “Gosh, am I dreaming? Is that an angel?”
