Finally, he agrees to divorce, but won’t agree to walk away with nothing.]
So I pull out another document from my briefcase, p it on his chest.]]
“Take a look–this is evidence of you embezzlingpany funds to buy Ivy property, cars, and luxury goods. Total: <b>$</b>13.96
million.”
“Dax, how many years you think this’ll get you?“]]
His face turns deathly pale instantly.[]
“Sign the divorce papers, take nothing, and I’ll give you one week to pay this back. Otherwise, see you in court.“[]
Finally, he signs his name on the divorce agreement.[]
I take the papers with satisfaction and walk away without looking back.[]
Taking nothing, Dax loses everything under his name.]]
But that embezzled money–he has to pay it back fast.]
His first thought is those precious bros he values so much.[]
After all, whenever they went out partying, he always picked up the tab. Whenever a bro asked to borrow money for cars or houses, he generously lent hundreds of thousands.]
So, here he is-
–
“Hey Marcus,” he dials the first number.
“I’m in some trouble right now, cash is tight. Think you could pay back that million you borrowed?“]]
Silence for a few seconds, then Marcus’s ufortable voice:[]
“Dax man, it’s not that I don’t want to help, <b>I </b>gotta… gotta discuss it over with my wife.“[]
Dax is stunned: “Wife? What fucking wife?“]
Marcus chuckles.]
“Exactly, I don’t have a wife, so there’s nothing to discuss.“[]
Then he hangs up.
Dax desperately keeps calling.]]
One call after another brings excuses, deflections, even straight–up ignoring him.[]

All those bros who used to kiss his ass, mooch food and drinks, and enjoy his “brotherhood“-now they avoid him like the gue.
After thest call.
Dax stares at the gray sky, feeling nothing but irony.[]
Dejected, he goes to the mansion he bought Ivy.[]
Seeing it’s him at the door, Ivy joyfully throws her arms around him.[]
“Can we get married now?“[]
Her burning embrace gives Dax a sense of reality.[]
“Ivy, thank you for always being on my side.“]
His voice softens as he tentatively asks: “Ivy, as long as we’re together, you’d be willing to live any kind of life, right?“||]
“Of course!” Ivy answers without hesitation.[]
Dax rxes slightly, finding somefort.[]
“I walked away with nothing. Ember found out I embezzledpany money for you and wants me to pay it back on deadline.“[]
“You need to sell the house and car under your name to help me through this crisis.“[]
“Walk away with nothing? Are you insane?” Ivy shoves him away hard, her eyes full of wariness.]
“That house and car are mine–why should I sell them?”
Dax is stunned: “Ivy, you… you said…“[]
“What did I say?” Ivy drops the actpletely.[]
“Dax, you didn’t actually think I was with you for love, did you? Ha! Dream on! Who cares about broke losers!“]]
She points at his nose: “I wanted <i>to </i>live the good life–I’m not gonna struggle from scratch with some pauper! Get it? Now get
lost!”
With that, Ivy shoves him out the door.[]
The door ms shut with a bang.]
Staring at the cold door, Dax has never felt so powerless.[]
Right–who would struggle from scratch with a pauper?[]
He used to think he got through those tough times thanks to his bros‘ support.[]
But thinking back now, all he sees in his mind is me.[]

Me running business deals under the scorching sun. Me drinking ss after ss when clients were being difficult.]
Me patting his shoulder saying: <b>“</b>It’s okay honey, Mom said we can sell the house to keep us going!<b>“</b>]
“Who are the cockroaches that never die?“]
“We’re the cockroaches that never die!!“<b>]</b><b>] </b>
Theughter seems to echo in his ears, yet it all feels like another lifeti
He suddenly makes up his mind and runs toward home.]]
But when he reaches the front door, he finds the locks have been changed and a “For Sale” sign posted.[]
This home–I really don’t want it anymore.]]
