His Ex Wife is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus)

"In this life, we're brothers; next life, let's aim for friends," Cassius played along with his brother's sudden shift in mood, lightening the overly tense atmosphere a bit. "Though, I doubt we'll need that money. Elvis would never let that guy walk out of here alive."

"Indeed."

Cassius, having someone he loved deeply, could empathize. "Intense love and steady emotions can never coexist. The deeper the love, the greater the fear of loss, leaving one bewildered."
