"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. 
***

Divorced My Cheating Husband and Remarried My Rival

　　She never actually told me that she loved me.


　　My thoughts were occupied with getting her to see us in a clearer picture together in the future but I wasn't seeing the truth.


　　It was a fact I was just realizing, all our memories together there was not a single one where she outright said that she loved me.


　　She always got a bit uncomfortable whenever I told her how I felt about her, it was always like she was doubting me and didn't want to believe me.


　　It was a one-sided love that I was too blind and unaware to see. Every single time I felt she was going to say it, she happened to let it slide past.


　　When we made love and were in the heat of passion, I could see her struggling not to say it, it was like she fought it every time she had the opportunity to do so.
