Chapter 6

Penulis: Pretty Handsome
Several officers moved in and pinned Hayden down, forcing his arms behind his back as the handcuffs clicked shut.

Hayden kept struggling, his face red from the effort as he shouted, "You're going to regret this!"

Melanie was handcuffed too, but she didn't resist and only kept muttering, "How could this happen? How could this happen?"

Tears kept streaming down her face.

Meanwhile, the comments flashing across my vision were already going wild.

"This is so satisfying!"

"This is exactly what

    I laughed.After the divorce, Melanie owed more than four million dollars in online loans. She'd been sued several times by the online lenders, and all her bank accounts had been frozen.After Hayden got out, he couldn't find work, so he started driving for a rideshare app in his used BMW. But then his creditors seized the car too.Now the two of them were crammed into a rented room in a rundown neighborhood, with debt collectors hounding them at their door every day."Tell them we're divorced. This has nothing to do with me."Chloe nodded and left.I walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked out at the river. Sunlight shimmered across the water, making my eyes ache a little.A few days later, I was scrolling through my phone when I spotted a trending headline that read, "Woman Says Ex-Husband Turned His Back on Her After Getting Rich."I tapped on it, and there was Melanie.She had somehow found a content creator to interview her. She cried her eyes out on camera

    On the day of the trial, Melanie and Hayden were escorted into the courtroom by bailiffs.It had only been a little over ten days since I'd last seen them, but they barely looked like the same people.Melanie looked noticeably thinner. Her hair was tied back, dry and brittle, and she wore the standard vest issued at the detention center. Her eyes were sunken, and her complexion was sallow.Hayden looked even worse. His face was covered in stubble, and there was no trace of his old arrogance. He walked with his back hunched.Mom was called to testify as a victim. The scar on the back of her head was still there. A patch of hair had been shaved away, leaving the stitch marks plain to see.She sat on the witness stand, looking at Melanie, her eyes full of disappointment."I treated you like my own daughter. When your mom was sick, Alex stayed at the hospital for 12 straight days, and you never showed up once. I didn't blame you. I kept telling your mom you were just busy with work.

How could this happen?"Tears kept streaming down her face.Meanwhile, the comments flashing across my vision were already going wild."This is so satisfying!""This is exactly what scum like them deserve!""Exactly! Alex already has enough evidence to put them away for a long time, but honestly, I don't think he'll even need it. The people they owe money to aren't going to let them off easy.""And those hired bodyguards thought they'd survive the apocalypse. Instead, the apocalypse never came, and they got themselves into trouble with the law.""LMAO. Just wait until these guys come after Hayden to settle the score. They could beat him to death.""Alex, go ahead and pr

    Hayden was stunned. He whipped around, and that was when he realized the bang he'd just heard was the police kicking in the door.Officers surrounded Hayden, Melanie, and the others on all sides.Once the door was open, Hayden could finally see outside for himself. The sky was blue, with white clouds overhead and no sign at all that the world was about to end."Get down!" an officer ordered.But Hayden just stood there dumbfounded, his brow furrowed as he muttered, "No, that's not right. Where's the apocalypse?""Get down, now!"The officers immediately moved in and forced him down.Hayden finally snapped out of it. His eyes filled with shock and panic, and his gaze snapped to Melanie. She looked just as confused as he was.The comments were how I found out what had just happened. Melanie's system had suddenly stopped responding, and she'd been calling out to it over and over in her head.After a long while, a system message finally appeared."This was only for entertainment.

    I shot back, "Even if we're still married, you had no right to put this house up as collateral! It legally belongs to my mom and has nothing to do with you. You used fake documents to take out a loan. That's fraud!"The men from the lending company immediately became suspicious.Seeing their reaction, Hayden quickly snapped at me, "What are you talking about? Those documents are real!"Then he came right up to me and lowered his voice. "Alex, I'm warning you. Don't cause trouble here. Half a month from now, there'll be chaos everywhere, and no one's actually going to come take your mom's crappy house."If you ruin this for me today, I'll beat you to death!"I stared him straight in the eyes. "Go ahead. Hit me."Mom heard Hayden and me arguing and, worried I might get hurt, opened the door anyway.She reached out to pull me inside, but one of the men immediately forced his way in. He knocked Mom off balance, and the back of her head slammed hard against the edge of the doorframe.

    Hayden's expression shifted immediately.He turned to Melanie. "Melanie, what's that supposed to mean? Don't forget what happens a month from now. If you don't divorce him, he can keep you from getting the money. What are you going to do then?"Melanie was still hesitating, so I quickly followed up on what Hayden had said."What's happening a month from now? And why do you two need money?"Melanie's face went pale. She shot Hayden a glare and quickly said, "That's none of your business!""Melanie, we're still married. How does this have nothing to do with me?""Then let's get divorced!"The moment Melanie agreed, a system message appeared across my vision."Hidden reward triggered: Finalize the divorce within 35 days and the prize pool will double."The prize pool was set to double, but I couldn't bring myself to smile.Even after things had gone this far, she was still hiding the fact that she'd gotten a system from me. She was still lying to me.I gave a bitter smile.I w
