Plot of I Refuse to Divorce!

Zoe knew that Mason had been having an affair for a very long time, though she wasn't expecting to experience his dynamics with his lover at such a close distance. Mason didn't feel an ounce of shame when his wife stumbled upon a picture of his lover, feeling assured that she wouldn't make a fuss for he was ultimately the one putting food on her table. Plus, he figured she already acknowledged that their marriage was not arranged out of mutual love.

Zoe, in her earnest desire to hold her own and "untie the leash," told Mason that she was not afraid of hardship and that she was willing to work again. Up until that point, all her life was devoted to serving Mason and making sure he was pleased. In return, she would be given enough money to cover her father's medical expenses.

Suddenly, there he was, appearing on a national broadcast as he delighted his lover by renting out Disneyland for an entire day. She never thought he could be so affectionate towards anyone other than himself, much less throw such a huge party for another woman when he couldn't even remember her birthday!

Upon returning from the trip, he saw a different Zoe. This was not the usual submissive homemaker from a few days ago. This time, she informs him that they're getting divorced. She had actually sold her wedding ring, signaling she was determined to go through with the separation. He tried to dissuade her, but she already made up her mind. At this juncture, he realized he might have made a mistake and was refusing to heed her wish until, at last, he conceded. After the fact, it would take some effort on his end to win her trust back.

Main Characters in I Refuse to Divorce!

Zoe

Zoe is a renowned violinist and one of the hottest girls in the city. Were it not for her looks, she would not have garnered Mason's attention and sexual drive, absent genuine love (something she could figure out without much difficulty). In spite of this realization, she was committed to their relationship for two main reasons: she had to provide for her family (especially her father, who was going through a very severe illness) but, most importantly, she truly harbored feelings for him.

Mason

Mason is the director of Lockwood Pharmaceutical Group - one of the most prestigious enterprises in the field - with a net worth of billions upon billions of dollars. On par with this, he has a very arrogant personality, bordering on extreme self-importance. Nonetheless, he's not beyond redemption, and it would take two years without Zoe to realize he's not as emotionally self-sufficient as he once believed.

Chapter 10

Mason is striving to persuade Zoe to return home and put all their past discussions aside. Regardless, Zoe simply would not budge and, to add insult to injury, left the house, sending strong signals to Mason that her decision was final. This resolve was further solidified after she discovered that Mason was planning on visiting Lilith (his lover).

Zoe's departure greatly frustrated Mason, since he sensed that he no longer had control over her. Adding to his distress, she placed the house on sale, further provoking his ire and tempting him to take a more offensive stance against her.

Chapter 470

Following what seemed like their final breakup, Luke drove Mason straight to Zoe's estate. There, he greeted his children: Yanni (who was practicing the violin) and Jamie, both extremely excited to see their wheelchaired dad who, in turn, promised to take them to his manor more often.

When they asked him whether their mother could tag along, he couldn't hold back his tears and explained, rather unconvincingly, that she might not have as much time in her hands to do so. Then, Zoe arrived and attempted to behave cordially towards him, though her reddened eyes betrayed her lingering sorrow over their most recent separation.

Theme of I Refuse to Divorce!

The main theme of "I Refuse to Divorce!" centers around the notions of empowerment and self-worth, as can be ascertained from Zoe's journey and her decision to make a life for herself, trusting that her gifts would help pay her father's medical bills and support her family. Throughout the novel, we can also witness her frustration over having to relinquish a successful musical career in order to focus on being essentially a housekeeper and a sexual toy for her love, only to realize later on that she was dooming herself to a failed union.

Also relevant is the hint of a redemption tale. Mason's arc suggests this, as we see his evolution from a haughty and condescending prick to a humbler, more relatable person, albeit he did already have these qualities in seed form. In the process, he had to reap what he sowed and deal with the consequences of his attitude towards Zoe though, prima facie, he pretends to behave as her owner, refusing to grant her the divorce she sought.
