"He threw away a diamond but got back something less valuable. I'm sure he'll regret every decision in the future, Illana."—Lucas Mathius Griggori.
After his first love returns, Mark ends his marriage to Illana. She is almost shocked, but realizing how Mark once desperately pursued Deborah's presence makes Illana try to understand despite the heartache.
As Illana tries to be strong and stand up, the charm of a mature man captures her attention, making Illana smirk because Lucas Mathius Griggori is Mark's uncle-her ex-husband, while many crazy ideas in the head make Illana want the mature man named Lucas even more.
