"You feel so f**king good." a deep voice, one I knew all too well, grunted.
I watched my husband Daniel and my assistant Esme banging each other right on my table. My hands flew to my mouth as realization dawned on me, the shock from seeing and hearing them made me shift back, stumbling against the table, and I pushed the chair backward.
"Did you hear that?"
I quickly dodged and stepped back from the glass view.
"What?" Daniel hissed impatiently.
"I think I heard-" Esme trailed off, "Never mind, just hurry up already."
"No need to rush, there is still time before the b*tch lands." His statement was like a slap to my face, my ears were ringing.
"Really?"
"Yes, baby, a few more rounds for us."
"Once she's back, I can't have you." 
"I know, but it's just for a while, you know it's you I love, it's her money that's keeping me."
Their mixed chuckle ran across the room, traveled up my nerves, and made my heart sink to my stomach. 
***
When Elsie uncovers the affair between her husband and her trusted assistant, her world shatters. The dual betrayal by the man she loved for years and the assistant she relied on leave her devastated and nearly hopeless.
But after the initial shock, Elsie regains her strength. She contacts a lawyer to prepare for divorce and makes a bold move- switching jobs and joining the company of her longtime rival, Albie.

What starts as a search for solace turns into something much more dangerous. Albie's relentless pursuit leaves Elsie feeling increasingly drawn to him, despite her resolve. Will she lose herself in a passion she never expected, or find a new path to healing?

Divorced My Cheating Husband and Remarried My Rival

　　Casually I glanced at the phone and the caller ID pricked my nerves. Daniel.


　　I knew who that was, her supposed husband and he was so adamant about her picking his call. Why did he have to call when I was finally able to get some alone time with her?


　　My shoulders slumped slightly, disappointment caught up in my mind. All my efforts to get her alone with me will be wasted.


　　I specifically didn't let her know who it was and chose this beautiful restaurant as our meeting place so we could end up spending more time together.


　　She played right into my plan by asking to treat me to a meal, she actually beat me to it and I don't mind. It just shows she was interested in me in a way, even if she hasn't realized it yet.


　　I knew it shouldn't make me happy and it meant nothing but a man could only hope. She could have done it out of kindness and the fact I was her new colleague. I was going to enjoy every single moment of it.
