Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival

Third Person POV.

In their shared bedroom, Richard and Amber stood face-to-face and engaged in a tense discussion. Richard’s brows furrowed with concern, his eyes filled with worry as he tried to dissuade Amber from her plans to meet Mary in a private restaurant, with the hopes of getting a confession.

“I don’t agree with this, Amber,” Richard said firmly. “It’s too dangerous for you to meet up with Mary. I don’t like that you’re actively involving yourself instead of letting the police investigate and get to the bottom of everything.”

Amber let out a heavy sigh, wondering how else she could convince Richard to just let her do what she had in mind. “Babe, I understand your concerns; I really do,” she replied. “But I can’t just sit around and wait for the police

to investigate. It could take months, or even years, for them to unravel a case that happened over ten years ago, and I need Mary to confess sooner so that I can have solid evidence and finally confirm if what I’ve suspected all these years is true.”

feeling about this. I know it sounds crazy, and you know that I’m not one to be superstitious, but I have a really bad feeling about this,” he admitted. “You shouldn’t be meeting that crazy woman alone. It’s too risky.”

Amber rolled her eyes, a glimmer of annoyance flashing in her gaze. She moved

closer to him, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder. “Richard, honey, I understand your concern for me and our baby,” she said with calm reassurance. “But nothing will happen to me. I’ve already taken precautions, and like I’ve explained a million times before, there’s a plan. The detectives will be waiting nearby in case anything goes wrong. I rented the entire restaurant, so most of the waiters are going to be cops in disguise, including Garcia.”

Richard’s eyes searched hers, his unease still palpable. “I don’t trust the police,” he confessed. “If you’re going to meet Mary, I’m coming with you. I’ll disguise myself as a waiter at the restaurant as well if I have to, but I won’t let you face that woman alone, and I’ll be bringing a gun with me, just so you

know.”

would ease your mind, then I don’t mind having you around,” she responded affectionately, squeezing his shoulder gently. “Just promise me you won’t ruin everything by overreacting. Trust me and trust the plan.”

Richard nodded reluctantly, a flicker of uncertainty still present in his gaze. I’ll try my best,” he conceded. “But I won’t let anything happen to you. If anything feels weird, give me a sign immediately, and don’t think twice about

it.”

Amber’s face softened, a tender smile gracing her lips. She leaned in, pressing a kiss on his cheek. “I’ll do just that, Richard,” she murmured. “And I appreciate your concern, but you need to understand that I need to face Mary and confront her for different reasons.

Richard sighed, his shoulders slumping slightly. “I know,” he admitted. “Just

promise me you’ll be careful, Amber. That’s honestly all I care about.”

Amber cupped his face in her hands. “I promise,” she whispered.

Just as Amber finished assuring Richard and telling him not to worry about her,

a vibration jolted through his pocket. He cast a quick apologetic glance at

Amber before excusing himself to answer the call.

Retrieving his phone, Richard saw that it was Elena calling, and he knew

something big must have happened for her to be calling him so soon.

“Hey, Elena. What’s going on?” Richard asked.

There was a brief pause on the other end of the line before Elena’s voice came

through. “I’m calling about Black,” she informed him. “He’s currently in the

hospital, and according to the people I have in his house, he was found in his

office with a stab wound to the neck.”

Richard’s eyes widened in shock, his mind swirling with disbelief. He didn’t

expect that he’d hear the news so soon, and he didn’t know how to feel at

first. “Is it… Is it who I think it is?” he asked.

“Yes, it was her,” Elena replied. “The CCTV footage caught Marlene entering his office, and it’s confirmed that she stabbed him. She’s now a wanted criminal,

and as for Kayden…well, that b ast ard is currently fighting for his life at the hospital.”

“Is there any update on… his condition? Is he dead?” he asked, barely able to

contain his excitement.

“It’s touch and go right now,” she replied. “I hear the doctors are doing everything they can, but it’s too early to tell. All I’m sure of is that Kayden can never have a normal life again. Even if he survives, he’ll be as good as

dead.”

Richard’s laughter echoed through the room, a mix of satisfaction and relief swirling in him as Elena told him exactly what he wanted to hear.

Amber, who had been silently watching Richard, her curiosity piqued by his sudden outburst, couldn’t help but wonder who he was talking to and what had amused him so much. With an arched eyebrow, she leaned closer to him. “What’s going on?” she asked. “Why are you laughing so hard, and who are you talking

Richard’s smile lingered as he hurriedly wrapped up the conversation with Elena, assuring her that he would talk to her later.

Ending the call, he turned to Amber, his eyes filled with a mix of satisfaction

and excitement. Before answering her question, he took a deep breath, gathering

his thoughts..

This was a moment he had been waiting for-an opportunity to finally tell Amber that she would never have to worry about the bas ta rd who killed her mother and

made his life miserable for years, ever again.

“Babe, you might be shocked to hear this,” Richard began, “but Kayden’s

currently hospitalized, and it’s as a result of getting stabbed in the neck,!

courtesy of Marlene.”

Amber’s confusion was evident on her face as she blinked in disbelief.

“Marlene? Why on earth would she do something like that to Kayden, of all people? Are you sure of what you’re saying? Who told you this?” she asked.

Richard’s smile widened, a glimmer of triumph in his eyes. “It’s a long story, babe, and I promise I’ll explain everything once the situation with Mary is over, ” he explained. “But the important thing is that Kayden is no longer going to be a threat to either of us ever again. He’s as good as dead now,” he explained, triggering Amber’s curiosity.

“You know what, Richard? I need to meet Mary in less than an hour, so I don’t have time to be too curious, but once all that is over, I’ll need a complete

explanation,” she responded, trying to control her excitement at the thought of Kayden possibly dying soon.
