“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

There she was, standing before his eyes. She was still dressed in the same clothes from the day she left the beach house. Her eyes were noticeably red and her tear-stained cheeks glistened under the light that lit up that very hallway. Her long dark hair was a tangled mess, and this sad look was carved into her ashen face. Much like him, she too, couldn't fall asleep with all the thoughts and mindless questions in her head keeping her wide awake.

Alexandra looked up to meet his gaze, her eyes filled with a myriad of emotions. A look of expectance hung over her face as a moment of silence lapsed between the two of them. She knew she wanted to trust him, to believe his words.

Without saying another word, he reached out to pull her into a tight embrace. His arms wrapped around her waist and the other snaked to the back of her head to bring her closer to him, burying her face in his chest.
