His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Eliza lowered her head, absentmindedly nibbling on her straw. Chelsea added, "He's spending your joint assets on Nova's treatment. That has to be part of the divorce settlement." Eliza's fingers tightened around her cup. "His money will never be split with me, and I don't want it."
