"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

　　The heat from his chest eluded a warmth that made me very comfortable. When was the last time someone held me like this? Like I mattered and I was the center of existence.


　　In a fit to prolong the ecstatic feeling, I leaned closer and shifted my weight into it. The relief I felt with that single act made me relax and my tears stopped flowing.


　　He felt so strong and capable. Wait, He? Albie? Oh no. I quickly pulled back, stepping out of his hold and looking at anywhere but his face.


　　Gosh Elsie! How could you let that happen? This was such a sloppy act, how could I have let myself slip up that much and make this so awkward?


　　"I- I'm sorry, I apologize for the outburst of emotions, that was quite dramatic of me."


　　For some reason, it was not as weird as I thought it would be, when I looked at his eyes, it was filled with understanding and patience. I was expecting to see a judgemental stare but all I saw was gentleness.
