"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

　　Why was he sounding like that? Didn't he see that it wasn't intentional? I was just dancing, I didn't purposely call those guys and wasn't expecting them to join me.


　　Those distasteful men were arrogant, acting as though they had every right to be with us, subtly forcing themselves on us. They were the kind of inconveniences that made me dislike public places.


　　He can't possibly think I would have anything to do with them, not now, not ever.


　　What would have happened if he wasn't here? If he didn't step in to separate me from them? I am not sure I would have been able to do anything. How would it have ended?


　　That was something to ponder upon but maybe later, the bigger question right now was how did Albie end up here? How did he happen to know I was in trouble?
