Eric''s gaze was cold as he looked at Zev. "You''re nothing," he spat. "A nobody, just like the beggars on the street. You knew Kelly''s parents would leave her money, knew she''s from Seaville. That''s why you targeted her in Solmaris, right?"
Eric''s voice trembled with fury, convinced that Zev was plotting against him. He believed that Zev had used some scheme to steal Kelly away, to turn her heart against him.
"Kelly, you''re being yed," he said, desperation creeping into his tone. "He''s using you; can''t you see that?"
Zev remained calm, his voice cutting through the tension. "You think everyone''s like you, don''t you? Obsessed with money, worried she''ll waste it on me. You''re afraid of losing what you value most. It''s not hard to see, Eric. What you fear is what you love."
Eric''s face twisted in disbelief. He took a step forward. "Don''t try to turn this around. You know exactly what you''re doing."
Kelly sighed and shook her head, stepping in between them. "I''ve already told you, Eric,” she said, her voice steady. "We have nothing left between us. Zev is my husband now. My inheritance will be his. He''s the rightful heir."
With those words, she began pushing Zev away, but Eric lunged forward, desperate to stop them.
Kelly''s tone was sharp as she warned him. "If you keep following us, I''ll call the police."
"Kelly, you''ll regret this," Eric shouted, his voice cracking. "You''re going to regret everything. He''s going to use you until there''s nothing left."
As Kelly and Zev walked away, a man approached Eric. "Dr. Gray, is everything okay?" the man asked, concern evident in his voice.
Eric clenched his fists, trying to suppress his anger. "It''s nothing," he muttered.
The man nodded, ncing at the retreating figures of Kelly and Zev. "Sorry, Dr. Gray. I overheard some of that..." He worked in medical supplies and often dealt with hospitals, particrly with young doctors like
Eric.
Andrew Lawson was a master at socializing. He''d given a lot of kickback to Eric over thest few years.
Eric''s frown deepened. "Andrew, stay out of this. Know when to speak, and when to stay quiet."
Andrew grinned, his eyes bright. "Of course, Dr. Gray. I''m as tight-lipped as theye." He nced toward Kelly''s retreating figure, then spoke again. "Is that your ex-wife? Word is, everyone''s talking about what happened with Regina. The whole circle knows."
Eric''s face darkened.
Andrew pressed on, unfazed by Eric''s mood. "Don''t get angry, but I have a n. Your ex-wife-she''s too innocent. She hasn''t learned what life can really do to you. She thinks love is all it takes for marriage, but it''s not. It needs more than that. It needs money, security. Once she and her husband are broke, she''ll start remembering all the things you did for her. Then, you can either win her back or make sure she falls even
harder."

Andrew wasn''t deterred. “That guy she''s with? He''s a punk, right? People like him are easy to break. I know plenty of guys like him in Scaville. They might act tough, but they''ll ruin anyone''s life. First, they tter them, get close, then they introduce them to bad habits-drugs, gambling, whatever. Once he''s deep into it, he''ll need money, and that''s when he''ll show his true colors. Then, you can swoop in and be the hero, save her from him."
Eric eyed him skeptically.
"Are your connections reliable?"
Andrew smiled confidently. "Don''t worry, Dr. Gray. I''ve got the right people. You know we''ve worked together a long time."
Eric nodded. "Then I''ll need to see results. He straightened his suit and turned to leave.
Andrew watched him go, a small smirk tugging at his lips.
"They all act so high and mighty. But once I help him with this, I''ll have leverage. And that''ll keep my business secure for a long time."
When they arrived home, Kelly reached for Zev. "Hand me the marriage certificate. I need to put it away," she said, her tone firm.
Zev eyed her carefully, holding the certificate close. “Not a chance. I haven''t even gotten used to it yet. What if you change your mind?"
Kelly let out an exasperated sigh. With a light push, she tried to get his attention. "So, shredded potatoes for lunch?"
Zev grinned and nodded. "Yeah, sounds good."
He was simple to satisfy-one dish was enough for him.
After five years of living together in Solmaris, Kelly hade to realize that, aside from his asional arrogance and yful teasing, Zev didn''t have any serious ws.
The only annoying habit? How he liked to hold her close once she fell asleep, keeping her tucked in his
arms..
"By the way, you need to sign the will," Kelly said, sorting through some papers and offering him the pen.
Zev paused. He didn''t immediately grab it, and Kelly noticed the hesitation in his gaze.
"Is Eric''s talk... bothering you?" she asked, her voice soft, sensing something was
off.
Zev met her eyes, his expression turning dark. "Do you think I''m like him? That I''m just after your money?"
Kelly shook her head quickly. "No, not at all."
The tension in Zev''s face disappeared in an instant. His lips curled into a smirk. "Well, I''m d to hear that."
Kelly couldn''t help butugh, the tension easing. "Just sign the papers."

Letting me do whatever I want with it?"
Kelly nodded, unsure of where he was going with this.
"Then why not donate it all?" Zev suggested, locking eyes with her.
