Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival

Chapter Eight

Amber raised her eyes to look at Richard, realizing he was staring back at her. He was done talking

and was curiously waiting for her reply. “What do you say?” he asked after realizing she wasn’t

responding to him.

She sucked in a deep breath and dropped the cutlery she was holding onto. “I’ve made a decision,” she

said boldly, even though her heart was racing and she was scared of what was to come.

She had made a decision–momentarily–without thinking much of the consequences, because what was the

worst that could happen?

“I’ve decided to agree to this proposal. Let’s get married, Mr. Romero,” she said to him, and she saw

his eyes twitching. She expected him to be surprised, but he wasn’t.

He instead looked at her and smiled. “This is great, Amber. I’m glad you accepted my proposal,” he

said, and his smile widened.

She stood up from her seat and stretched her hand toward him. “Let’s seal the deal, shall we?”

She didn’t want to get into a deal that would paint her as a pushover or make the other party seem a lot more powerful than her. Well, she knew he was much more powerful than she was, but then again. she couldn’t afford to seem weak and easy.

He looked at her outstretched hand for a while and stood up. He wiped his hand gently and shook hers. “Deal then?” he said calmly, and she nodded.

“D… de… oh no! We can’t say that yet!” she suddenly exclaimed, removing her hand from his. She took a step back and looked at him with a flustered expression. “We can’t make a deal yet,” she said to him, and he was immediately confused. He looked at his hand, which was still stretched out, and his expression turned even more confused.

She knew he must be thinking that she was acting a little crazy, but then again, she had always been quite crazy, and he would have to get used to it if he seriously wanted to marry her.

“Why can’t we? What’s going on, Amber?” he asked, and Amber smiled a little, trying to hide how embarrassed she felt for suddenly changing the mood,

“It’s… The thing is, we haven’t made any rules yet. We both know we are using each other and in a situation like this, we need to be sure of what to do and what not to do. We haven’t really talked about that yet, so I don’t think we should hastily seal the deal yet,” she explained, pulled back the seat a little, and sat down. “Who knows, I might not be okay with your rules, and you might not be okay with mine. So we need to be careful before we enter this, Don’t you agree with me, Richard?”

He was quiet for a while as he stared intensely at her. He sat down and crossed his legs. “Okay, that’s a great idea. Now, tell me, what are your rules?” he asked her, and she sat right.

She cleared her throat as she became deep in thought, thinking of the things she wanted to achieve with the marriage. Thinking about it now, marrying a man like Richard was a rare opportunity, and there were a lot of things she wanted to achieve with this marriage, but mentioning them all at once would be stressful.

Also, would it even be valid with just word of mouth?

She looked around them, but she had no idea what to do to make the rules more important and worthwhile.

While still on it, he stood up and walked over to her side. “Unfortunately, I have a meeting I must attend in an hour, so I need to leave now. How about we meet later to discuss more about this? Or you can send it to me through email, and I will get back to you. What is your take on that?” he asked her, and she immediately thought it was a great idea.

She nodded her head and stood up as well. “Good, let’s do that. But I don’t have your email address, so how do we go about that?” she questioned, still trying to look smart and cool.

He brought out his phone and typed some things, after which her phone rang in her bag. “Excuse me. she said as she opened her bag to bring out her phone, but he waved his hand instead.

“That’s me. I just sent my email address to you. Send me your rules, and I will send you mine too. By the way, it was lovely speaking to you, Ms. Grey. Have a good night and do let me know if you need anything,” he said to her, and with that, he walked away, leaving her standing there while she stared

at his back.

She sat back in her seat, picked up the glass of wine that was in front of her, sipped the wine slowly.

and let out a deep breath. She had finally made a decision, and now she would be entering a loveless

marriage for the second time

Every time she remembered that Kayden married her without loving her as he claimed, she felt sad an embarrassed, but again, here she was, entering into another soulless marriage. The only thing

different this time was that she made the decision herself, and she would be gaining a lot too.

She knew she shouldn’t trust someone as powerful as Richard, and she also knew that she shouldn’t pu her life on the line with him this way. He had the power to crush her whenever he wanted, and he als had the power to use and dispose of her whenever he wished to. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

But for some reason, she felt like she could trust him, and for that same reason, she wanted to do this with him and take her revenge on those bastards!

She gulped down the remaining wine in her glass, placing the empty glass on the table before standing

up and picking up her bag.

It was time to leave, to plan out the rules of her new marriage, and to step into another huge phase

of her life. She waved gently to the attendant, who was closer to where she was seated, before

walking out of the building.

Things will be different from now on. She was going to get stronger and much more powerful until she had enough power to step on Kayden and Marlene and make them beg for mercy.
