Married To My Ex Husband Rival Novels & Stories

I dropped my spoon and cleared my throat, “Yeah, how did you know he’s my husband?” “It’s not like it’s hidden,” he winked. “Well, we’ve been rivals for years, I’ve seen the kind of man he is, undercuts prices and steals designs.” His voice softened. “I think it’s time someone gave him a taste of his own medicine.” I stared at him in disbelief. “You don’t know what you’re saying,” I said, dropping my cutlery on the table. “I know you’re not happy in your marriage, you were humiliated this evening. Are you not tired of it?” He continued, his tone was calm but deliberate.

"Rest that ankle, Mrs. Carter. I expect my wife to be fully recovered when she comes home." With those words, he was gone, leaving me alone with a sprained ankle, a marriage certificate… and the overwhelming, surreal realization that I had just married my ex-fiancé's greatest rival. I stared down at the document in my hands, the bold black letters of my new name printed clearly at the bottom. Was this real? I wasn't dreaming… was I?

"And you are my son. And these things matter." The room held the silence of people who had collectively decided not to move... Richard looked at me. Then back at Alex "She was married to the man who is currently your primary business rival," he said. "She came out of that marriage with significant shares in his company. She is now running two companies, one of which is in direct competition with his interests." He paused. "I am asking you... sincerely, not as an attack, whether you have considered the possibility that this situation serves her more than it serves you."

“Give me a break. God, this is insane. Of all people, it had to be you.” “Hmm…” Colin fantasised. “Why not me?” “Because you’re him! His frickin biggest rival. You’re the man my husband hated. The man I hated. You’ve been enemies for years, Colin!” “That's Ex-husband now, Madeline.” Colin corrected. “And let's be honest with ourselves… you never hated me, did you, love?” “Don't call me that, and don’t you tell me what I feel!” “I'm not telling you, Madeline.” Colin said, walking closer to her. “Care to share why me coming closer has you trembling? Or does that answer my previous question?”

That name… I hadn't heard it for two years, and hearing it now was a sharp stab to my heart. “He's a billionaire… of course he would want a wife to show off to the media,” the girls continued gossiping while they cleaned up the kitchen area. Kaden glanced at me, seeing how I wasn't moving. Beads of sweat draped down my face. “Hey… it's okay,” she startled me back to reality, only for me to realize tears were lingering in my eyes. I shook my head and pretended to work, trying not to hear them. “The other one must have been too plain… I mean, he practically fathered three children while he was married.”

He could just say the word. “Actually… no. I’m not here for that.” I froze mid–blanket lift. “Then why are you here?” “Because we both have one common enemy now.” He stood, walking toward me. My heart raced, my fingers unconsciously tightening around the blanket. “Your husband betrayed you and took your company—and by doing that, he made himself my rival.” “And what does that have to do with me?” He moved closer, caging me between his arms. His eyes locked onto mine, so deep I couldn’t breathe—and I didn’t know why.

Chapter 44: The Woman Who Lost Her Daughter The photograph remained on Serena's screen long after the message disappeared. Elena Voss. Her father's first wife. Mara's biological mother. And now Richard Hale's wife. Serena looked at Lucian. "How many people in this story have been married to someone connected to my family?" "Too many," he replied coldly. "Richard knew my father. He protected the records. He hid the original recording. And now he's married to the woman whose daughter my father took."

"Read it. If anything is missing, tell me now." I opened the folder. The document inside was printed on thick, high-quality paper. The terms were laid out in clear, simple bullet points. There was no legal jargon to hide the truth. The marriage would last for exactly one year. For that duration, I would legally be Mrs. King. My job was simple: keep the nature of this contract a secret and attend every important social event by his side. In return, all my expenses would be covered. At the end of the year, I would receive a fifty-million-dollar bonus.
