"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.

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

　　Closing the door to her office, I walked back to mine. What just happened? Why the shift in her mood? I know I wasn't just imagining it.


　　Passing by the hallway, I met Cassie again, she smiled eagerly, batting her eyelashes and touching her hair.


　　I didn't waste time with her, I replied hastily and by the time I was back in my office. It just dawned on me.


　　Did her change in mood have anything to do with Cassie? It makes a bit of sense as that was when I noticed her false concentration on the files on the table and the clipped monotonous replies.


　　I hope she didn't think that I was interested in Cassie, nothing is wrong with Cassie as a lady but I was not interested in her.


　　As she entered the office, I tried as much as possible to just be plain and simple but maybe she read it differently.
