“I’m sure she wasn’t feeling sorry when she’s all up on my husband last night!”

When Alexandra finally married her childhood crush at the age of 25, she didn't expect that she would one day catch another woman in the arms of her husband while she hid in the bedroom closet. But there she was, anger, betrayal, and sadness washed over her all at once as she stared at her husband and the woman who had the same dark brown eyes and dark hair as her. They looked almost identical...?

That same night, she stumbled onto the beach and before she knew it, she was sitting across the table from her high school ex, Caleb, looking down at the terms of their marriage contract that he drafted up hastily. 

Fuelled by anger and betrayal by the people she once loved, Alexandra knew she had to take things into her own hands. Together with Caleb, they plot her revenge.

"Alexandra…" Her name rolled off his tongue effortlessly as though it had always belonged there, the deep baritone of his voice causing her heart to skip a beat.

Silence enveloped them in an instant as the air between them crackled with unspoken tension. The flood of memories engulfed them at that moment. How long had it been since they had last seen one another?

Effortlessly, he reached for her back and under her knees, carrying her bridal-style before heading back to the car. 

"Is there anything I can help with? As thanks for… not running me over and providing me shelter?"

"Actually, there is," Caleb said. 

Alexandra turned, raising an eyebrow. She hadn't expected him to so shamelessly take her up on her offer when they both knew it was just to be polite.

"This probably ain't the best time but… Do you want to get married?"

My Husband Cheated On Me So I'm Marrying My Ex

Despite all the reassurances, Hannah could still feel her boyfriend pulling away from her ever since that day. To say that she felt that she was going insane was a bit of an understatement.

Over the next week, she had been subconsciously taking notes of the days he wouldn't be home for dinner, the days he would stay out late because he was busy at work, the times when he would hide his phone from her when she would casually look over to take a peek. It almost seemed way too obvious that he was hiding something from her intentionally.

It wasn't surprising at all that she was starting to get suspicious of him.

During that same time, Hannah started following him after work, hiding behind bushes or trees large enough to shield her. One time she caught him casually walking into one of those fancy boutique shops along the street that sells infant clothes and maternity wear, and that only made her suspicion skyrocket.
