Trey quickly regained his composure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKhloe, what\u2019s gotten into you? You never cared about this before. Fox Group is our shared effort\u2013our blood, sweat, and tears. We\u2019re husband and wife. What\u2019s mine is already half yours. What you\u2019re asking is completely unnecessary. Besides\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know how it is. My father and the other major shareholders hold more combined equity than I do. Even if I wanted to give you what you\u2019re asking, I couldn\u2019t. And those old\u2013timers would never accept a woman wielding that much power. If you push for this, you\u2019ll make yourself a target,\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m just trying to protect you. That\u2019s why I never pushed for you to have shares in the first place.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He neatly shifted the blame to the shareholders while casting himself as her guardian.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cExactly,\u201d Khloe replied, her voice soft but unwavering. \u201cWe\u2019re husband and wife. So, even if you transfer the shares to me, they\u2019re still marital property, aren\u2019t they?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
No matter how he tried to justify it, she calmly followed his own logic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m only doing this for the company\u2019s future. For our family. For you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trey felt a wave of frustration. He wanted to shout, but had no outlet. He wanted to argue, but the woman on the other end of the line was acting like a stranger tonight\u2013unyielding and impossible to manipulate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Was this just a tantrum?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Or\u2026 had her feelings truly changed, making her start calculating a return on every investment she\u2019d made in their relationship?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKhloe,\u201d he tried again, softening his voice, laying on the sentiment. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t easy for us to be together. I don\u2019t want family drama to come between us\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the past, this was his trump card. Reminding her of how he\u2019d defied his family to marry her always made her\u00a0<\/p>\n
relent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But this time, Khloe cut him off before he could finish. Her voice was quiet and utterly detached.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTrey, they say a man\u2019s priorities are shown by where he puts his money. I\u2019ve given my all to Fox Group without holding anything back. I hope you can meet me with the same level of commitment. Otherwise, I\u2019ll have to reconsider my position here. Perhaps if I resign, it would be easier for you. The shareholders would certainly be more comfortable.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWha\u2026 what are you saying?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was stunned. Was she threatening him?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThink it over carefully,\u201d she said coolly. \u201cAnd until you\u2019ve made a decision, don\u2019t contact me. I don\u2019t take time off often. I\u2019d rather spend it on myself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, she hung up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When he called back, the line went straight to voicemail.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was using the same tactic again. And she seemed to have developed a taste for it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trey\u2019s chest heaved, rage burning through him. He swore he wouldn\u2019t give in this time\u2013he would put Khloe back in her place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But his resolve lasted less than two hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s losses were mounting. If the projects weren\u2019t saved soon, their entire IPO would be doomed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Once Angela finally drifted off, he slipped out of bed and retreated to his study.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Closing his eyes only made it worse. All he could see was Khloe.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Why had she become so cold?\u00a0<\/p>\n
For a moment, doubt crept in. But then he remembered their years together\u2013all the tenderness and her unwavering devotion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No. Khloe was a woman who valued loyalty above all. Her dependence on him, her affection, were absolute. That could never change.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That certainty steadied him. And then, an idea struck.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He picked up his phone and sent her a series of five transfers\u2013200,000 dollars each.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On Khloe\u2019s end, sleep still hadn\u2019t come. Her phone lit up, buzzing with one alert after another.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trey had just wired her a total of one million dollars.\u00a0<\/p>\n
