Chaz thought that he would eventually charm his new bride into sharing her vast inheritance. He had pictured the intimate ceremony taking place in the bedroom, of course, after a night of athletic lovemaking-Joey, still aglow, unfolding the pre-nup and holding it to the flame of a lilac-scented candle. It had never happened, though, and after nearly two years of waiting Chaz had given up hope. Joey wasn't hoarding the family fortune so much as ignoring it, which Chaz regarded as a crime against nature. What was the point, he'd asked himself, of staying wed to a wealthy woman who refused to act like one? The answer: There was no point.

Chaz believed he could eventually influence his new wife, Joey, into sharing her significant inheritance. He envisioned an intimate ceremony in their bedroom following passionate lovemaking, with Joey reading a prenuptial agreement by candlelight. However, this never materialized, and after nearly two years, Chaz lost hope. He felt Joey's reluctance to access the family fortune was almost a betrayal, considering her wealth.

Chaz viewed Joey's indifference to her inheritance as a serious flaw, questioning the purpose of remaining married to a rich woman who refused to act like one. Her lack of interest in her wealth contrasted sharply with his expectations, leading him to feel disillusioned and questioning the point of their union.
