"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

　　I hated Daniel at that point, hated him with every fiber of my being, he made me so miserable and even after everything, he still found a way to make me hate him the more.


　　Why? I hated him because I loved him and cherished what we had but he destroyed it for his selfish interests.


　　I hated him because he was the monster that hurt me and caused me so much pain. Those were the reasons and many more why I hated him so much.


　　To me he was the most distasteful human being I knew, that was what I thought until I saw the look on Albie's face.


　　No words could describe how much pain and hurt creased on his face, it was like his feelings were broken into a million pieces.


　　When his eyes turned and he looked at me, my breath caught in my chest, and I saw only hurt and pain. At that point, I would have done anything in this world to stop the person that did it to him.


　　The most helpless past was I was the cause.
