Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival Chapter 46: Unexpected News
Suzanne's pov:The moment we stepped into the house, something felt off.I couldn’t quite place it. Maybe it was just the exhaustion weighing me down like a heavy cloak, or maybe it was the fact that everything felt… different.The space was familiar, yet something inside me had shifted.I told myself it was just the stress of the past few days—the trip, Kai’s kidnapping, the overwhelming surge of emotions that had come with losing him, then getting him back.My body was still adjusting, still coming down from the adrenaline that had kept me moving.But even as I tried to rationalize it, I couldn’t shake the feeling.I inhaled deeply, hoping the scent of home would ground me. The familiar blend of fresh linen and Dominic’s subtle cologne lingered in the air, but instead of comforting me, it made my stomach churn.I pressed a hand to my temple.Maybe I just needed sleep.Dominic was already moving through the house, his phone to his ear, his voice sharp as he gave out security instruc

Suzanne’s pov:The first thing I heard was the steady beeping of a machine, each sound pulling me back into consciousness.My body felt heavy, like I had been submerged underwater for hours.My eyelids fluttered open, and a bright white ceiling came into view. The scent of antiseptic filled my nose, making my stomach churn.Where… was I?Then, I heard a voice—deep, commanding, but layered with something unusual. Worry.“What happened? Tell me exactly what’s going on.” I asked politelyDominic.I turned my head slightly, and there he was, standing a few feet away from my bed, his suit jacket tossed onto a chair, his tie loosened, and his sleeves rolled up. He looked… restless.I tried to speak, but my throat was dry. Swallowing, I blinked at him, confusion clouding my thoughts.“You scared the hell out of me,” Dominic muttered, moving closer, his hand slipping into mine. His grip was firm, grounding me, but I could feel the tension vibrating through his body.“What… happened?” My voice

Tavon’s pov:My phone buzzed on the table, the sound pulling me out of my thoughts. I picked it up, seeing an unknown number flash across the screen. Without hesitation, I answered. “What?”The voice on the other end was quick, urgent. “I’ve got news. Suzanne’s pregnant. The child... It’s Dominic’s.”My breath hitched in my chest. Pregnant. Suzanne. Dominic’s child. I let the words sink in, feeling the weight of them. This was huge. This was the kind of thing that could shake their whole world.I clenched my jaw. Suzanne—carrying Dominic’s child? The thought sparked a flame of rage within me. I’d been aware of their perfect little family, but this... this crossed a line. I hadn’t even been given a chance to react to their reunion before this new twist. The idea that Dominic, of all people, would have a child with Suzanne—my Suzanne—it stung.The voice on the other end cut through my spiralling thoughts. “I thought you’d want to know.”“Yeah,” I muttered, before hanging up, still re

Dominic’s pov:I stood at the front door, my phone pressed tightly against my ear, trying to remain composed as my legal team assured me they were on it. The world was spinning in ways I couldn’t control. The lies about Suzanne’s pregnancy—about my child—spreading like wildfire on social media made my blood boil. I knew I had to act quickly, decisively, before things got out of hand."Get the lawyers on this immediately," I ordered, my voice low and clipped. "I want the post removed, and I want whoever is behind this to be held accountable. If they don’t take it down within the next hour, I’ll file a lawsuit for defamation."I could hear the urgency in their voices, but it did nothing to calm the storm raging inside me. I couldn’t believe Tavon, of all people, was pulling this stunt. He was trying to destroy everything Suzanne and I had fought for."Understood, Mr. Khan. We’ll handle it," they responded.I ended the call and let the phone slip from my hand, falling into a dead sil

Dominic’s pov:The weight of the situation hung over us like a thick cloud, oppressive and suffocating. I sat at the kitchen island, the laptop open in front of me, ready to craft the strongest public statement I could. The kind that would make Tavon regret ever stirring the pot. But as I glanced over at Suzanne, sitting quietly on the couch, I knew it wasn’t the right move.She had been through enough. The last thing I wanted to do was add more fuel to the fire, and a public statement—no matter how well-crafted—felt like it would just make things worse.Stella and Desmond had been quiet for the most part. I could see the worry etched on their faces, the strain of the whole situation reflected in their eyes. But Suzanne’s silence was the loudest of all. She hadn’t spoken much since Tavon’s post went viral. The betrayal was too raw, too fresh.I closed my laptop, pushing it aside. It felt like an unnecessary tool at this moment. What we needed now wasn’t a press release or a legal b

Suzanne’s pov:The tension between us had been unbearable. The scandal, the doubts, the stress—it was all suffocating. But as I stood in our bedroom, watching Dominic, I realized something. I didn’t want distance. I didn’t want silence. I wanted him.Dominic sat on the edge of the bed, his hands clasped together, his expression unreadable. His mind was elsewhere, likely caught up in the chaos Tavon had caused. The weight of everything rested on his shoulders, and for the first time, I saw exhaustion in his eyes.But tonight, I wasn’t going to let that exhaustion win. I needed him—desperately. And I needed him to know that despite everything, I was his.I stepped forward, standing between his legs. He blinked up at me, caught off guard, as I reached for the buttons of his shirt. Slowly, I undid the first one. Then the second.His hands shot up, covering mine. “Suzanne—”“Shh,” I whispered, brushing his hands away. “Let me.”His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed, watching me with th

As the title implies, Hot sex in the early morning. Don't read if you can't handle it.Dominic’s pov: From the look in her eye, I could see she had no patience, so I decided to give her what she wanted. But not without having fun first. My hands found their way in between her thighs, and I could feel the drip between her thighs. I shot her a look, Surprised at how wet she was. And I had not started anything yet. Her face turned red with embarrassment, I smiled and maintained eye contact, I removed my hand and tasted her sweet sweet juice. I closed my eyes as the sensation hit me like a wave. It tasted better than my mom's cooking, so clean and fresh. When I looked at her, her cheeks were red. I still saw that hungry look in her eye, “You’re so wet” I said in a seductive voice. Ignoring her pleading eyes I kissed and nibbled her neck till it left a mark. I turned her to her stomach and zipped her dress down, and then I saw it, Urghhhh she was wearing a matching paint and bra in

Dominic’s pov:The room was quiet, save for the rhythmic sound of Suzanne’s breathing beside me. The early morning light seeped through the curtains, casting soft shadows across the bed. She lay curled against me, her bare skin warm beneath the sheets, her hair spilling over the pillow like dark silk. For a moment, she looked completely at peace—untouched by the chaos that surrounded us.I should have found comfort in that. I should have held her closer, whispered words of reassurance, and let the night we shared settle the doubts pressing into my mind. But I couldn’t.Instead, I stared at the ceiling, my arm draped over her waist, tension winding tight in my chest.I trusted her—I wanted to trust her. But Tavon’s words, that damn post he made, had planted a seed of doubt that refused to wither.I have been here before.Linda’s face flashed in my mind, uninvited and unwelcome.I had trusted her once.Believed every lie she whispered, every apology she muttered, every tear she shed.

Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival Chapter 74: Another Scandal
Suzanne’s pov:I was curled up in the armchair beside the balcony doors, one of Dominic’s throw blankets wrapped around my shoulders… The soft rumble of distant waves rolled through the partially opened doors, the morning sun casting faint golden streaks across the marble floors.I wasn’t reading. I wasn’t scrolling. I was just… sitting. Letting the quiet be enough.Everything about last night still lingered, his hands, his breath, the way he looked at me like I was the only thing in the world that made sense.After everything that had shattered between us, something felt stitched back together, like some part of me that had gone numb was warm again.Still fragile, still trembling at the edges, but healing.My fingers traced slow circles over the fabric on my lap.I hadn’t spoken to Dominic yet this morning.He’d gone to handle some business, or so he’d said when he left our bed at dawn.But he didn’t leave like a man escaping. He kissed my forehead, tucked the blanket around me, a
Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival Chapter 73: “Should We Still Give Us a Chance?”
Tavon’s pov:The text had come at dawn. No name. Just a number I hadn't seen in months. But I knew that tone. Sharp. Calculated. Dangerous.“We both know how much your pride matters. But if you don’t pick up my call, I’ll send your precious videos to your mother first. Then your church group.”Fiona.I stared at the message for a full minute, my mind still foggy from the restless night before.The audacity. She really had the nerve to crawl back from whatever cave she’d vanished into, after ruining everything and leaving me like a fool.I let the phone ring twice when she finally called. Just to let her wait.Then I answered. “You got some balls, showing up now.”Her voice came in cool, unbothered. “You always did like my balls better than your own.”I chuckled bitterly. “Still a bitch, I see.”“And you’re still a fool. So nothing’s changed.” She didn’t laugh. “But let’s not waste time with banter. You know why I’m calling.”I slumped deeper into the leather seat of my rented apartme
Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival Chapter 72: “I Should Have Felt Stronger”
Dominic’s pov:The morning light seeped through the curtains like a silent witness to the night before. Golden slivers danced across the sheets, casting faint shadows over the woman lying beside me.Suzanne.Her breathing was soft, steady—peaceful in a way I hadn’t seen in a long time. Her lashes fluttered slightly, lost in whatever world sleep had drawn her into.I sat up slowly, careful not to wake her. My hand braced against the mattress, muscles tensing as I watched her for a long moment. There was something sacred about this quiet. A rare pause in the chaos.But peace had never been mine to keep.I brushed a thumb across her cheek, lingering just long enough to memorize the softness there. And then I rose from the bed. The cold air met my skin like a jolt back to reality, to everything I’d tried to bury in the heat of last night.Tavon.That bastard’s voice still echoed in my head. “Let’s see how loyal he stays when he sees the real you…”I clenched my jaw, grabbing a clean s
Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival Chapter 71: “Fuck Me”
Suzanne’s pov: His strong arms wrapped around my waist. His hot breath creased my face, giving me a hot sensation, my mouth flew open, and my eyes locked on his.An immense hunger for me lingered in his eyes. He craved me, and I craved him too.“You're so fragile, so sexy,” he planted a kiss on my cheek, then his eyes returned to my face, his hands squeezing my waist, moving down to my butt.Dominic’s pov:I was merely trying to control the urge to fuck her recklessly. She was wearing a white see-through polo-like shirt, which was very revealing.Her nipples stood firm, demarcating themselves from her round soft perky breasts.I moved my other hand up her back and pressed her against my shirtless chest. “Uh…” she moaned against me. Her chest heaved up and down.“I want to fuck you, pumpkin,” I rushed to her lips and began sucking on them. She parted her lips, letting me into her mouth.I held her head and deepened the kiss, while she muffled in my mouth, giving me the spark that I ne
Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival Chapter 70: “You’re Mine, Suzanne”
Suzanne’s pov:The line went dead.My breath hitched, and for a moment, I couldn’t even bring myself to pull the phone away from my ear. It was like my skin had gone cold all at once. A slick, awful feeling began to crawl up my spine."Hope you got my pictures."I dropped the phone onto the blanket and stared at it like it had turned into something venomous.My hands shook as I picked it back up and went to my messages. One unread thread. No name. Just that same number.I tapped it open.My breath caught.No. No.I blinked—once, twice—as if somehow, the pictures would disappear if I didn’t look too hard. But they were still there. And they weren’t just pictures. They were me.Me—exposed. Vulnerable. Caught in moments I didn’t even remember someone capturing.My stomach turned violently.The angles… the lighting… He’d taken these without my knowledge. I remembered that room, that bed. My old apartment. I remembered trusting Tavon. I remembered falling asleep next to him.And now…N
Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival Chapter 69: “Hope You Got My Message”
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 68: Climate Change
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
Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival Chapter 67: Caring and Hiding
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
Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival Chapter 66: “It's Her”
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’
