Peterson handed Tyler the paperwork:[]


    “Mr. Stevens, this shows all the dividends, capital gains, and profit distributions you owe Mrs. J.“]


    I knew that number would absolutely devastate Tyler right now.[]


    “Cat got your tongue, Tyler? Not nning to welch on your debts, are you? You can’t just take, take, take without ever paying anything back.“]


    It took Tyler forever to snap out of his shock:]


    “You… you’re Mrs. J? Why didn’t you tell me?“]


    “Because your ego’s so damn fragile.[]


    I didn’t want you feeling like some kept man, so I never said anything. Did you really think money just falls from the sky?“]]


    “And when I went begging to that client? That was because if you wanted real sess, you couldn’t keep depending on my bailouts forever.[]


    You needed to build something legitimate. Too bad you never got that.“[]


    “So Tyler, I didn’t just help you once–I helped you over and over. My conscience is crystal clear.<b>” </b>


    When Tyler and I got married, Caleb was recovering from a car ident and couldn’t make the wedding.]


    I figured we’d all meet eventually, no rush. Plus I didn’t want Tyler feeling inferior.]]


    Turns out keeping a low profile just made him more arrogant.


    He actually started looking down on me.[]


    I nced at all the shareholders and employees crowding the doorway, eavesdropping, and tapped the table:


    “Tyler, I built thispany for you, and I can take it back just as easily. Like <b>I </b>said–walk away clean or get buried.“[]


    “Otherwise, you won’t just drown in debt–you’ll drag all these people down with you.[]


    You’re already a shit husband. At least try being a decent boss.”


    Tyler finally signed the papers.[]


    But that didn’t mean he was off the hookpletely.[]


    Over the years, he’d spent over a hundred million of our joint assets buying Madison presents. Every penny had to be paid back.


    Same deadline–three days.[]


    But all he had left was his parents‘ house, worth maybe a million if he was lucky.


    Three dayster, just as I was about to collect what Tyler owed me, Caleb called.]]


    Tyler was dead. So was Madison.]]


    Turns out when Tyler couldn’te up with the money, he went crawling <i>to </i>his old crew first. The second they heard what he wanted, they all blocked his number.]


    Desperate and out of options, Tyler went to the mansion he’d bought Madison.]]


    Madison threw the door open and hugged him tight:


    “Tyler! Did Mrs. <b>J </b>save your ass? I knew that bitch Sophie wouldn’t win.“[]


    “This is perfect! Now it’s just you, me, and our daughter our little family can finally be happy together. I’ll love baby. I’ll never leave you.“[]


    you


    forever,


    Tyler was so touched:]


    “Madison, I knew you were the only one who really cared about me. Once I get back on my feet, I’ll make everything up to you.“[]


    “But there’s something I haven’t told you yet.[]


    Mrs. J is Sophie. She kicked me out of thepany, took everything in the divorce<b>, </b>and now I have to pay back every penny I spent on you during our marriage.]


    So I was wondering if maybe you could…“]]


    “Fuck no!“]]


    Madison shoved him away hard, her whole attitude flipping like a switch.]


    “The stuff you bought me is mine now–I never forced you to buy it![]


    You want it back? Dream on!“]


    “What are you even doing here now that you’re broke?[]


    Want me to suffer with you or expecting me to be your sugar mama?[]


    That’s hrious! Men are worthless after 25, and you’re pushing 30–gross!“[]


    Tyler stared at her in disbelief:[]


    “But you just said you wanted to be with me and the baby…“]


    “Yeah, when you had money, dumbass. I’m not gonna be miserable my whole life like that idiot Sophie.“[]


    “And don’t bring up the kid–she didn’te out of my body. I just donated an egg. Don’t try to guilt–trip me with that brat.“[]


    Just as Tyler was about to say something else, a bunch of young guys walked over and started groping Madison.]


    Political then Whirl the Muli Master Your Colls Nixdoua fest


    Chapter <b>8 </b>


    “Who are these…“[]


    “Oh right, forgot to introduce you–my new boy toys. Now get lost and go beg somewhere else. Don’t kill my vibe.“[]


    Madison looked at Tyler with pure disgust, not noticing his eyes turning bloodshot.[]


    ording to those guys, Tylerpletely lost it back then.[]


    Grabbed a brick and cracked Madison’s skull open.[]


    Then he dragged her by the hair into the kitchen and chopped her head off![]


    The whole time he was muttering:


    “How could you do this to me? Sophie never treated me like this…”


    You ruined everything… If you hadn’t seduced me, Sophie never would have left me… []


    Go to hell!”]


    After that, he killed himself.[]


    The baby who’d just turned a hundred days old ended up with Tyler’s parents.[]


    Madison’s parents gave me back the mansion and all the jewelry, saying they wanted to atone for their daughter’s sins.]


    At Tyler’s funeral, his parents begged me to see him onest time.


    After all, his final words were still to me:]


    “Sophie, I’m sorry…“]]


    I didn’t hesitate to refuse.]]


    His patheticst–minute apology was just as disgusting as his and Madison’s fake “friendship.“]


    From now on, my life would be just clean and bright.]]
