Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival Chapter 62: Crossing The Deadline
Dominic’s pov:The drive to the hospital was the longest of my life.My knuckles were white on the steering wheel as I weaved through traffic, barely aware of the horns blaring around me. My mind kept replaying the officer’s words.‘Unconscious. Run off the road.’Was it just an accident? Or was this something more?A sickening dread curled in my stomach.I pulled into the hospital parking lot so fast that I nearly clipped the curb. Throwing the car into the park, I jumped out, not even bothering to lock it.I rushed through the hospital doors, scanning the crowded reception area with frantic eyes.“Suzanne Khan,” I barked at the nurse behind the desk. “She was in a car accident. Where is she?”The woman gave me a wary glance before quickly checking the system."She was brought in a few minutes ago," she said. "She’s in the ER. Take the hallway to the left and check in at the nurses’ station."I didn’t wait for more instructions. I was already moving, my heart slamming against my rib

Dominic’s pov:I sat beside Suzanne’s hospital bed, my fingers tangled with hers, my body heavy with exhaustion. The beeping of the monitors was the only sound in the room, steady and cruel.She hadn’t moved.Hadn’t stirred.She lay there, pale, fragile—too fragile.I had seen her angry. I had seen her fight. I had seen her push through pain and heartbreak with fire in her eyes. But I had never seen her like this. Motionless. Defenseless.And it killed me.I squeezed my eyes shut, pressing my forehead against her hand.I would have given anything for her to open her eyes and scold me for hovering. To tell me I was being ridiculous. To roll her eyes when I told her I wasn’t leaving her side.But she didn’t.And I hated that I couldn’t fix this.The door creaked open behind me, but I didn’t move. I knew it was the doctor. He had been in and out since she was brought in, checking her vitals, reading charts, and giving me medical updates that I barely processed.But this time, something

Suzanne’s pov:A dull, persistent beeping pulled me from the darkness.I felt weightless, as if I were floating between dreams and reality, lost in the void. My eyelids were heavy, too heavy to lift, but I could hear the faint hum of voices, the rustling of fabric, the sterile scent of antiseptic filling my nose.Something was wrong.Then I felt it, Pain. A dull, aching throb in my abdomen. A heavy weight in my chest made it difficult to breathe.I squeezed my eyes shut, willing myself to stay in the darkness a little longer. I didn’t want to wake up. I didn’t want to face whatever was waiting for me on the other side of consciousness.The weight in my chest tightened, squeezing my ribs, making each breath feel shallow and restrained. A strange emptiness coiled inside me, a cold, suffocating hollowness that I couldn’t place—but I knew.Deep down, I knew.I forced my fingers to move, twitching slightly against the warmth of a hand wrapped around mine.A sharp inhale.“Suzanne?”The

Dominic’s pov:I hadn’t moved from her bedside.The sterile walls of the hospital room blurred around the edges, and the beeping machines faded into white noise.All I could see was her. Suzanne. Lying there, pale and too still, like some fragile thing that might disappear if I blinked too long.She was asleep again. Resting, finally.The doctor had said it would take a few days for her body to recover from the trauma, but at least she was stable. Awake enough to speak earlier… to ask about the baby.That moment wouldn’t stop replaying in my head.The way her eyes searched mine, already knowing the answer… The way her voice cracked when she asked if the baby made it… And the way her face shattered from my silence.I let out a sharp breath and dragged my hand down my face.I should’ve been celebrating an heir.That was the point of this whole arrangement, wasn’t it? A contract marriage.She would give me a child. An heir. In return, I’d give her security, freedom from her past, and t

Dominic’s pov:The moment the doctor cleared Suzanne for a discharge, I made the call.Everything had to be perfect, not out of vanity, but necessity. She was too fragile, physically and emotionally. And I wasn’t going to let her waste away in a place that smelled like bleach and death.Called the best private doctor I knew—a discreet, competent woman with decades of experience in post-trauma recovery.I didn’t want Suzanne surrounded by nurses she didn’t know, by strangers who would pity her. She needed care, yes. But more than that, she needed peace.I supervised every detail. The doctor would stay on call for the next few weeks.Her medications. Her room. The lighting. The scent.I had them change the curtains twice until they looked soft enough not to feel like hospital whites.I cleared our shared room entirely out of the options. She wouldn’t go back there. Not yet. The guest room in the east wing had been converted into a private sanctuary. Quiet, warm, no reminders.She hadn’

Suzanne's pov:Recovery is quiet. Not peaceful, just quiet.There are no loud voices, no footsteps rushing down the halls.No beeping monitors or sterile hospital lights overhead. Just the sound of curtains swaying in the soft afternoon breeze, and the occasional murmur of Maria, the housekeeper, humming downstairs.Dominic had brought in a private doctor.I remember catching a glimpse of her that first morning, sharp brown eyes behind gold-rimmed glasses, her grey-streaked hair pulled into a neat bun.She was in her fifties at least, her presence calm but commanding, like she’d seen too much to be shaken by anything now.She moved with certainty, spoke with clarity, and treated me like a person, not a patient.She never hovered. Her nurses, clearly handpicked by her, were quiet, graceful, and never stayed longer than they needed to.They administered meds, checked my vitals, and then left. Always respectfully, always gently.It’s been four days now.Four days since I came home. Sinc

Dominic’s pov:The moment I saw his name on the screen, something in me shifted. The silence in the study shattered—not by sound, but by the weight of what I saw.Tavon.He had the audacity to call. Not a message. Not send some twisted little whisper. He called.I picked it up without hesitation, pressing the phone to my ear, but I didn’t speak. Let him talk first. Let him feel brave for a moment.His voice came through, coated in that smug, juvenile arrogance I’d come to associate with him.“Ah,” he drawled. “So you’re still picking up my calls. I thought the great Dominic Khan would’ve blocked me by now.”Still, I didn’t speak.He laughed, a short, grating sound. “Silent treatment? Cute. You know, I saw the photos. Her face looks paler these days. Fragile. She always did look better when she was with me.”My grip tightened around the phone. Not a word. Not yet.“But what’s really tragic,” he continued, “is that she lost your baby, didn’t she? That little heir you signed her up

Suzanne’s pov:I woke up with a gasp.My hand flew to my chest as I sat up, the echo of the fire still flickering behind my eyes.My heart was pounding, my skin clammy with sweat, and for a moment, I couldn’t tell if it had been real.The smoke. The white envelope. The choking fear of seeing something I couldn’t unsee.But then I looked around.The room was dimly lit, the curtains drawn back just enough for the early morning light to trickle in.My water glass was exactly where I left it. No mysterious envelope. No smoke. Just silence. Just me.It was a dream. Just a dream.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, willing the shaking to stop.I had dreamt about Tavon before, but this time it was different, more vivid. More cruel. As if my subconscious was trying to warn me of something that hadn’t happened yet.A soft knock came at the door, followed by it creaking open slightly.“Mrs. Khan?” one of the nurses peeked in, holding a tray with fresh meds and a soft smile. “You’re awake

Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival Chapter 90: Lost in Betrayal
Linda’s pov:For a moment I felt fear, the whole world had turned on me, all the people I had deceived. All the people I had taken from. The bribes I had received.Now my company was being taken away from me, and the man that I wanted was still in the arms of that witch.The people I had once controlled, bought, and manipulated, were vanishing. Fading like mist. Board members resigned, investors pulled out, and headlines screamed my name with venom. Every bribe I took, every hand I twisted, every secret deal I made in the shadows, it was all unravelling.The companies I spent years building with blood and ruthlessness were crumbling. My empire was no longer mine.She surely cast some kind of spell on him. It was the only explanation that made sense. Why else would Dominic, brilliant and disciplined Dominic, fall so completely, so blindly for her? A woman with nothing but a child from another man and eyes too naive for this world?I had seen it in his gaze, even when I walked into
Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival Chapter 89: The Proposal
Suzanne's pov:A few hours had passed, and Desmond and Ford had gotten the best out of him. Even Stella had spent some time in his room before heading back out to join me.While I myself sat alone in a corner outside the private ward, a small garden that was currently only occupied by me.I took in a sharp breath as the recent events replayed in my mind. The gratitude I felt towards the universe for helping me fight a war I wasn't familiar with.My eyes soaked with tears and my palms rubbed against each other as I closed my eyes and took in another sharp breath.“Victory at last,” I murmured, solely to my ears. “Yeah victory at last,” Stella's voice pricked my ears. I jolted and turned in her direction as I tried to hide the tears that were brewing in my eyes.“You did it, girl,” she clasped my hands after taking her seat next to me. “No, we did it. I couldn't have done any of this without you. Thank you, my friend,” I complimented her, looking her straight in the eyes.“C’mon, you k
Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival Chapter 88: “She Fought for Me”
Dominic’s pov:The first sound I heard was not a voice.It was chaos.Faint at first—like static. Then sharper. Words. Fragments. Shouting. Headlines.My eyelids were heavy. My limbs, stone. But the noise persisted, scraping against the edge of consciousness until I couldn’t ignore it anymore.“…Linda Blackwood implicated in multi-million dollar charity fraud…”“…evictions, offshore accounts, demolition of shelters…”“…anonymous leak reveals illegal real estate dealings tied to Chase Foundation…”I blinked. Slowly. Painfully.White ceiling. Beeping monitor. Sterile air.Hospital.I blinked again, turning my head—just slightly. A television screen mounted on the wall flickered with images. Linda’s face. Her signature smile, now twisted beneath grainy surveillance footage.Words scrolled across the bottom of the screen:“Public Outrage as Linda Blackwood’s Crimes Go Viral — Sources Say Ex-Wife of Dominic Khan Behind Years of Corruption.”The next clip: A woman walking out of a building
Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival Chapter 87: “Linda's on The Run”
Suzanne’s pov:The dining room table was covered in maps, laptops, scattered printouts, and half-drunk cups of coffee. Outside, the sky was still a soft bruised purple, the sun barely peeking above the horizon, but inside this house, war was already underway.Ford leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, his usual calm now coated in disbelief. “You’re telling me Linda’s been running an international laundering ring through fake charities?”“Yes,” I said, my voice low, but sure. “She’s evicted children, bribed officials, funnelled money through shell companies, and built a house of cards with bloodstained mortar.”Desmond cursed under his breath and ran a hand through his hair. “No wonder she didn’t blink when you threatened her. She’s been above consequences for too long.”“And she’s good at hiding it,” Stella added, eyes glued to her laptop screen. “The kind of good you only get when you’ve been doing this for years.”I looked at each of them, feeling the weight of the moment press d
Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival Chapter 86: “I Have News, Mrs Khan”
Suzanne's pov:My blood ran cold.“She’s planning something,” Desmond said quietly.I looked down at Dominic’s face in one of the photos—still pale, still resting. Unaware of the war being waged around him.And I made a vow to myself, to my heart, to everything we’d built in the shadows of a contract:I will defend you—even if it breaks me.I stood at the window of Dominic’s study long after the house had gone silent. The city skyline stared back at me—cold, glittering, distant. Somewhere out there, Linda was probably swirling her wine, smiling at the chaos she left behind.“I want Dominic.”The words haunted me, not because of their audacity, but because of the calm conviction with which she said them.I had tried to threaten her. I’d offered her money, and even shown her proof of her crimes—but Linda hadn’t even flinched.She burned the evidence in my face and walked away like she’d already won.My threats meant nothing to her.It was at that moment I realized I wasn’t dealing with
Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival Chapter 85: “Linda Is Onto Dominic”
Suzanne’s pov: The ride home was quiet.Not because the night was peaceful—no, it was anything but. It was quiet because my mind was on a battlefield. Each of Linda’s words replayed over and over again, like a curse refusing to loosen its grip.“You think this is about money?”“I want Dominic.”“He was never yours.”I stared out the window, the city lights flashing like warnings in the glass. Even the comfort of Stella’s presence beside me in the back seat couldn’t erase the cold grip around my heart. I didn’t say a word, and she didn’t push. For once, she let silence hold us.Linda wasn’t just bitter. She wasn’t just possessive.She was dangerous.And somewhere deep inside, I knew—I had just poked a maniac in the eye.When we pulled into the driveway, I stepped out slowly, clutching my coat tighter around me. Stella said something about needing to check on Kai. I nodded absently and made my way toward the house, my heels sounding sharper than usual against the marble floor.I did
Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival Chapter 84: “I Want The Man That Sleeps Next to You”
Suzanne's pov:The wind whispered across the rooftop like it knew the secrets of the night.I stared at Linda, her golden hair shimmering under the dim rooftop lights of the abandoned penthouse we traced her to.We waited for Tavon to leave, I felt this should be handled by women without any man interfering She leaned on the rail like a goddess of destruction, sipping something pink and poisonous-looking.Behind her, the city lights blinked like dying stars, nothing but distant witnesses.She hadn't even flinched when I walked in."Well, if it isn't Mrs. Khan," Linda purred, turning slightly, her sea-blue eyes glinting like blades. "How's the billionaire husband doing? Still, panting after you like a desperate fool? Oh, I just remembered, he can’t even move."I ignored the venom, stepping forward and unzipping the sleek black leather bag I carried."Linda," I said, my voice low but steady, "take the money. Leave town. Disappear. Let the devil himself wonder where you went. Just leav
Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival Chapter 83: Hunting Season
Suzanne's pov:The video kept playing, In my headMe and Kai. Laughing in the garden. My son was chasing bubbles. My voice drifted on the breeze. It was supposed to be one of those rare peaceful afternoons.And someone had filmed it.My jaw clenched as I yanked the phone closer. The footage zoomed in on my face at the end, a slow, eerie close-up before the screen went black. Then—two words appeared in red font.“You're next.”I didn’t speak for a long time. The air in the hospital room felt heavier than before. Dominic lay behind me, still unmoving, monitors beeping a rhythm that didn’t match the one hammering in my chest.I turned to Stella, my voice low. “I need a name.”Her brow furrowed. “What?”“Who do we know that can trace this number? GPS it. Run facial recognition, hell, I don’t care, just someone who can track down where that video came from.”Stella hesitated. “There’s someone. I used him before when my ex was… shady. He’s off-grid, paranoid as hell, but he’s good.”I nod
Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival Chapter 82: “Her Juicy Cunt”
Stella's pov:After I said the words, they hit me. The only thing I could hear was the sound of my heartbeat.My fingers trembled beside me, my eyes darting everywhere, but not actually picking any view.Confusion clouded my vision, and I blamed myself for what was happening. I asked her to marry him to save her son. But now, the pain it was feeding her, hurt me more.“I need to use the restroom,” I said, turning to Suzanne whose thoughts were also clouded. She looked lost but nodded to me, so I picked up my bag, and rushed out.I walked the halls of the hospital till I located the restroom. The moment I got in I found myself a toilet and locked myself in.My hands flew to my head as it dawned on me that my friend was in a huge mess, and I didn't know how to be of assistance to her. Tears flowed from my eyes unconsciously, as I tried to gather momentum to be strong at this moment.I blinked for a few seconds and flushed the toilet. After which I walked out and washed my face. Only
