The hospital room was quiet, but the air was heavy with tension. Judy lay on the bed, still weak from stress, while David stood beside her. Her mother sat in a chair near the wall, looking pale and tired after everything she had been through.

Even though she had been rescued, she did not look well. Her hands were shaking, and her breathing was uneven. The rope marks on her wrists were still red and swollen. Her clothes were dusty, and her face showed clear signs of exhaustion.

  • I MARRIED MY EX'S RIVAL    Epilogue

    ### EPILOGUE – A New LifeMonths had passed since all the chaos. The city seemed peaceful, and the mansion was filled with warmth and laughter. David, Judy, and baby Michael were finally enjoying the calm they had fought so hard to earn. It was a sunny morning. David was in the garden, sitting on a small bench. Michael was in his lap, giggling and kicking his tiny feet. David held his hands carefully, making him wave and laugh. “You’re getting stronger every day, little one,” David whispered, smiling. “Look at you… full of life already.” Judy came outside, holding a soft blanket. She smiled as she watched David and Michael. Her hair was tied neatly, and her eyes shone with happiness. “Good morning, my boys,” she said softly. David looked up, kissing her hand. “Morning, my love. Come, Michael wants to see his mother.” Judy sat next to them. Michael reached out his tiny hands, grabbing her fingers. She laughed softly. “Hello, my baby. Mommy missed you so much.” Michael cooed

    The mansion was quiet now, almost peaceful. After the celebration for the baby, life seemed to be slowly returning to normal. David and Judy were at home, resting and enjoying their son. The threat of Cassandra still lingered in the back of their minds, but they were safe for the moment.The phone rang suddenly. David picked it up. It was Deputy Cole.“Sir… we have news about Cassandra,” Cole said carefully. “She’s speaking. She… she exposed someone.”David’s heart skipped a beat. “Who? Who is it?”Cole hesitated. “It’s… it’s Mara, sir. The maid.”David froze. “Mara? The one who has been with Judy all this time?”“Yes, sir. She said she was giving Cassandra information about your home, your movements… everything.”David’s hand tightened around the phone. He looked at Judy, who had been sitting nearby, holding their son. Her face went pale.“What?” Judy whispered. “Mara… she was… helping Cassandra?”David nodded slowly, disbelief in his eyes. “Someone we trusted… someone we thought was

    The hospital doors opened, and sunlight fell softly on David and Judy as they stepped outside. Judy was still weak, but she held their baby carefully in her arms. David walked beside her, his hand supporting hers. Their hearts were full of relief.“Home,” David whispered softly, glancing at the familiar streets. “Finally… we’re going home.”Judy smiled faintly. “Yes… home… I’ve missed it. Even after everything, it feels safe now.”Sofia, who had been staying nearby, rushed to their side. She carried a small bag with essentials for Judy and the baby. “I can’t believe we’re finally bringing you home,” she said, her voice trembling with happiness.David nodded. “Thanks for staying close, Sofia. I couldn’t have done it without you.”Judy smiled weakly. “Yes… thank you… you’ve been like family.”---The car ride home was quiet. David drove carefully, constantly glancing at the rearview mirror, still fearful someone could follow them. Guards from the mansion were posted at every corner, rea

    The police station was busy, full of officers moving from one desk to another. Cassandra sat in a small, cold room, her hands cuffed tightly. Her face was pale, but her eyes were still hard. She refused to speak.Officers questioned her again and again. “Who helped you? Why did you do this? Why hurt Judy?”Cassandra only smiled faintly. She didn’t say a word. She knew she could not give anything away yet. Her mind was calculating, planning, even in captivity.---Meanwhile, the hospital was full of nurses and doctors rushing around. David’s car had sped through the night, the tires screeching as he brought Judy in safely. Guards followed closely behind to make sure no one could approach.David ran into the emergency room, his heart beating fast. His hands shook as he saw Judy on the stretcher. Her face was pale, and her breathing was shallow.“Judy! Are you okay?” he shouted.Judy opened her eyes slowly. She tried to smile, but it was weak. “I… I’m fine… just tired,” she whispered.Th

    The night air was thick and quiet outside the warehouse. David’s heart was pounding so hard it felt like it would burst. Cassandra had disappeared with Judy, and she was dangerous.“Move! We have to follow them!” Deputy Cole shouted to the officers.David didn’t wait. He jumped into the first car with the police. His hands clenched tightly on the seat. “Go! Go! Go!” he screamed.The other police cars followed closely. Sirens wailed, red and blue lights flashing across the dark streets.---Inside the black SUV, Cassandra drove with calm precision. She held the wheel with one hand, and with the other she kept her gun ready. Judy sat beside her, still tied, her face pale and her body shaking.“Please… I beg you… don’t hurt me,” Judy whispered. Tears rolled down her cheeks.Cassandra’s lips curved into a cold smile. “Quiet, little bird. Your cries will not save you. David broke my heart… and now I will make him suffer. Both of you will pay.”Judy held her belly. “My baby… please…”“Shut

    Inside the dark warehouse, the air was cold and heavy. The weak bulb above Judy’s head flickered again and again. Shadows moved slowly across the walls.Judy sat on the floor, her hands tied. Her body felt weak, but her eyes were open. Fear lived inside her heart, but she tried to stay strong for her baby.In front of her stood Cassandra.Her veil was off now. Her face was clear. Her eyes were full of anger and pain.Judy looked at her with shock.“Cassandra…” she whispered.Cassandra smiled coldly.“Yes. I’m still alive. And today, I came to end everything.”Judy swallowed.“Why are you doing this?” she asked. “Why are you hurting us?”Cassandra’s face hardened.“Because David destroyed my life,” she said. “And now I will destroy his.”---Cassandra began to walk slowly around the small room.“There was a time when I thought I would marry him,” she said. “I thought I would be the one in that mansion. I thought I would carry his child.”Her eyes moved to Judy’s belly.“But look at you
