The whole thing is for revenge. Not specifically against Michelle, but his family who did some real messed up stuff to Ian when he was younger. Ig as a result he has a bit of a mean streak as well bc he seems to enjoy making Michelle have strong emotional reactions. But he somehow gets surprised when Michele has said strong emotional reaction. He’s an odd one

Novel spoilers for ppl questioning his true identity!!
It is infact Ian
