Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival

Third–person POV

Amber sat at the dining table, the letter from Alison clutched tightly in her hand. Her eyes flickered across the words, disbelief etched into her features as she absorbed the shocking revelation that Alison’s death had been a murder.

The seriousness of the accusation in the letter settled heavily in her chest, causing her to feel a surge of conflicting emotions in her mind. After everything that had transpired between them, she never expected to receive a letter from Alison, let alone one that detailed the circumstances of her death.

The letter was telling Amber that whatever the circumstances of her death were, Amber should know that she was killed. Alison also mentioned in the letter that she wasn’t going to apologize for anything that she did to Amber because she wasn’t sorry. She’d add that she didn’t regret hurting Amber because she hated her and enjoyed watching her suffer.

Amber would let out a sigh of disbelief as she could feel the hatred Alison had for her through the letter. After Alison had made it clear that she wasn’t going to apologize, she went ahead to tell Amber that she knew the people who killed her but wouldn’t directly mention their names in the letter. In the final part of her letter, Alison states that as her final act of kindness to Amber, she’d leave Amber a parting gift, and she expects Amber to use it well.

She’d then end the letter by telling Amber that no matter how hard she tried, she could never live her life like a normal person, so she should not bother trying so hard and embrace the bitterness in her.

As Amber finished reading the letter, a sense of dread gnawing at her, Amber’s gaze drifted to the envelope in her hand. Frowning, she carefully extracted the remaining contents, releasing a pen and a

small, transparent case holding an SD card onto the table. Confusion clouded her features as she stared at the unfamiliar objects, her mind racing to understand the significance of Alison’s parting gifts.

Before she could make sense of the mysterious items, Ricard entered the room, his footsteps echoing across the floor. Sensing his presence, Amber looked up, her eyes wide with confusion, as he approached the table. His gaze fell on the letter, pen, and SD card, a puzzled expression crossing his features as he took in the scene before him.

“What’s all this, Amber? Who do this pen and that thing belong to, and why were you staring at it so intensely?” Ricard’s voice was laced with curiosity and concern as he turned to her, waiting for an explanation.

Amber glanced up at him, her expression a mixture of shock and frustration. Taking a moment to collect her thoughts, she finally replied, her voice tinged with a touch of disbelief. “Alison sent them to me, but I don’t know what it’s supposed to mean.”

Ricard’s brow furrowed in confusion, his eyes narrowing as he processed her words. “But… I thought you told me just a few days ago that Alison was believed to have taken her own life. How could a dead person have sent you all this?” he questioned. His voice held a note of confusion, along with a hint of skepticism in his tone.

Amber’s heart hammered in her chest, the confusion surrounding the items in front of her crashing down around her. “I… I don’t know, Ricard,” she admitted, a sense of unease settling in the pit of her stomach. “This letter, the pen, the SD card–they’re all from Alison, and I can confirm it’s her handwriting. From what this says, it seems like she knew something was going to happen to her, and she wanted me to know the truth.”

As Richard gingerly picked up the pen from the table, his fingers explored the sleek design of the pen before pressing a seemingly innocent button at the top. To his surprise, the soft click revealed a hidden feature–the pen was a recorder.

He looked up at Amber, his eyes wide with surprise, and gestured towards the pen. “Amber, this isn’t just a pen. It’s a recorder.”

Amber’s brow furrowed in confusion as she watched Richard’s revelation. “A recorder? Why would Alison give me a recorder?” she questioned, her voice tinged with a mixture of curiosity and unease.

Richard sighed softly, curiosity settling over him as he decided to play the recording on the pen. With a simple click of a button, the recorded voices filled the room. The first voice that resonated through the speaker was unmistakably Alison’s, causing a shiver to run down Amber’s spine.

Alison’s voice rang out, her tone direct and inquisitive as she questioned an unknown individual’s presence in her office. The mysterious person responded with a casual familiarity that sent a chill down Amber’s spine, asking why he would come if not to see her. The realization dawned on both Amber and Richard simultaneously, their eyes meeting in shared disbelief.

“That voice… it’s Kayden, Amber uttered, her voice barely above a whisper.

Richard nodded in silent agreement, his gaze fixated on the pen recorder as they listened intently to

the conversation unfolding from the recorder.

Alison pressed Kayden, asking why he had arrived at her office without prior notice, even going so far as to shut down the CCTV cameras for the sake of secrecy. Kayden’s chuckle reverberated through

the recording, his voice oozing with a sinister edge as he explained his motive.

The anticipation between Richard and Amber thickened as they listened to Alison probe further,

wanting to understand the purpose behind Kayden’s secret visit. Kayden’s response sent a shiver of apprehension down Amber’s spine as he demanded that Alison provide audio and video recordings of her

encounters with Marlene.

“Why would he need recordings of Marlene and Alison’s meetings? What could he be planning?” Amb

spoke out, her eyes darting to Richard for answers.

Richard’s expression darkened, a frown creasing his brow as he contemplated the implications of Kayden s request. “It’s clear that Kayden has a hidden agenda, one that involves your sister. And I doubt

she’s aware,” he surmised, not the least bit surprised.

Amber and Richard sat in tense silence, the air heavy with the damning revelations coming out of the pen recorder. With deep breaths, they continued to listen to the recording.

Alison’s voice, tinged with skepticism, resonated through the room as she confronted Kayden about his audacious demands. She questioned the reason behind his belief that she would comply with his request. for audio and video recordings of Marlene’s visits.

“Why would I agree to such a request? Is Marlene even aware of your intentions?”

Kayden’s response was chilling, his voice devoid of remorse as he scoffed at Alison’s concerns. “Marlene doesn’t need to know. And if you value everything you hold dear, you’ll keep your mouth.

shut.”

Amber clenched her fists, her jaw tightening in outrage at Kayden’s callous disregard for even the life of the one he chose.

Alison’s sigh echoed through the recording, a weary resignation evident in her next question. She confronted Kayden about the second favor he wanted from her, her voice tinged with a flicker of dread. Kayden’s response sent a chill down Amber and Richard’s spines; his intentions were laid bare in his words.

“I want you, Marlene, to get me the same drugs you used on Amber. The ones that worsened her men state” he demanded.

Amber’s eyes widened in shock, a sharp gasp escaping her lips as she was reminded once again of the full extent of Kayden’s evil.

Richard’s jaw clenched in silent fury, his gaze locked on the pen recorder as they listened on.

Alison’s voice quivered with disbelief as she queried Kayden’s motives, her words desperate for understanding. Kayden’s chilling chuckle reverberated through the room, a cruel smirk evident in his response.
