"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 I getting worked up in the first place? Esme was crazy, she did the most outrageous things and said even worse. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me she knew I would get angry if she confronted me.


　　Now that I think of it, she didn't want me to be happy, she was never for my happiness and success. It was all about her.


　　If she had won the case, she wouldn't have bothered to even say that, she would have gloated and bragged about how she singlehandedly defeated both me and Albie.


　　It was only befitting for Albie to win, I'm even happy he crushed her utterly, that way she won't get the chance to say anything.


　　Leaving the courtroom with dignity as I didn't let myself feel the emotion of her confrontation, I patted my shoulder. It was a gradual process but eventually, I was going to learn to control my reaction.
