Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival

Chapter Forty Eight

Third Person POV.

Amber’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Kayden, her mind struggling to comprehend his

words. Her heart wavered between denial and a sinking feeling of dread.

Her mother had died in a car accident over twenty years ago, and it was a painful memory that had

haunted her for years, especially since it had happened on her birthday. How could Kayden claim

responsibility for something that happened so long ago, even before they ever thought they’d meet?

“What are you talking about, Kayden?” she asked. “My mother died in a car accident years ago. You

couldn’t have had anything to do with it.”

Kayden’s smirk only grew wider as he folded his arms across his chest, relishing the chaos he had

created. “Oh, but Amber, that’s where you’re wrong,” he taunted, his voice dripping with malice.

Richard had been observing the exchange silently, his eyes narrowed in suspicion. He could already

guess where Kayden was headed, and he didn’t like it because he knew that it wouldn’t do Amber

good.

Finally, unable to stay silent any longer, he spoke up. “Amber, don’t listen to him. He’s just trying

to play mind games with you. Don’t pay any attention to him, and let’s just get out of here,” Richard

said.

any

Kayden’s voice rose to a thunderous volume as he mocked Richard’s reaction. “Scared, Romero? Well, you should be. You don’t want Amber to know the truth, do you? Because it won’t benefit you if she

finds out what really happened to her mother and everyone who knew about it. It’d ruin whatever sick

game you wanted to use her for,” he sneered, a sinister gleam in his eyes.

Confusion engulfed Amber as she shifted her gaze between Kayden and Richard. Her mind was a whirlwind

of emotions, desperately trying to understand what was going on and why Kayden seemed to be so

confident.

Kayden’s admission still lingered in her thoughts, but it made no sense. How could he be responsible

for her mother’s death when he was just a young teenager at the time?

Drawing a shaky breath, Amber turned to Richard, her voice trembling. “If you want to leave, then go,

Richard,” she said. “But I need to hear what Kayden has to say. I need to understand what this is all about. He owes me the such.“”

Richard’s face softened, his concern evident in his eyes. He could already tell that this wasn’t going to end well, and he started to feel nervous about the fact that the truth might come to light, and one way or another, he’d be involved.

As Kayden chuckled wickedly, a sinister glint danced in his eyes. “Oh, Amber, I feel so sorry for you,” he taunted. “Your dear mother died in an accident. She got hit by a car, and I know you find it hard to believe, but I was the one who drove into her.”

Amber eyes widened in shock, unable to comprehend the truth that was unraveling before her. “No,” she muttered, her voice barely above a whisper. “It’s impossible.”

A wicked smile curled on Kayden’s face, his satisfaction evident as he watched her struggle to accept the truth. He reveled in her distress, ready to relish in the havoc he had wreaked in her life. “Oh, but it is possible,” he replied with a shrug. “Your stupid mother didn’t bother to pay attention while crossing the streets late at night. And unfortunately for her, I was slightly drunk while I was driving. So the hag got hit first and died on her own.”

Amber sat frozen, her entire being engulfed in shock and disbelief. The words that spilled from

Kayden’s lips echoed relentlessly in her mind.

She couldn’t bring herself to accept the monstrous truth that was unraveling before her. Her stomach

churned, and her eyes widened in horror as the pieces of a nightmarish puzzle started to form a grim

picture.

“This can’t be happening.” Amber muttered.

She struggled to comprehend the revelation that her ex–husband, a man she had once loved and trusted.

could be the very person responsible for her mother’s tragic accident over two decades ago.

Summoning her trembling courage, Amber inched closer to Kayden, her voice shaking. “Kayden… please tell me you’re messing around with me? You can’t be the one who killed my mother, it’s just not possible!” Her heart pounded in her chest, each beat resounding like a deafening drum.

Kayden’s nonchalant shrug only added to the seriousness of the revelation. His expression remained

indifferent, a haunting smile playing on his lips. He met her gaze with an arrogant glimmer in his

eyes. “I’d like to believe you’re smart enough to put two and two together, Amber,” he replied.

threatened to consume her, as the realization of the enormity of the betrayal seeped into her bones. Her mother’s death had not been an accident, but a consequence of Kayden’s reckless choices.

The weight of the truth crashed down on her with crushing force. For two years, she had shared her bed and her life with the man who had killed her mother and didn’t even realize it.

Tears welled in Amber’s eyes, her voice trembling as she dared to ask the question that burned in. her. “How…how could you?” Her voice cracked with anguish, her heart splintering in the face of such vile cruelty.

Richard, who had been silently watching everything play out, wanted to comfort Amber and drag her out of there. But he knew his turn was coming and for his own good, he knew better than to touch or talk

to her at the moment.

Kayden’s face contorted slightly, his smirk remaining firmly in place. He met her gaze with a cold detachment that sent shivers down her spine. “Oh, Amber, dearest,” he replied. “Your mother’s death was her own fault. She failed to look properly before crossing the streets. It’s not my fault that she got hit and died on the spot.”

“I was only a fifteen–year–old boy who had just learned how to drive, you see. But thanks to your stupid mother, I had to suffer as punishment and give up driving for so many years. But after meeting you, I soon realized that I had done the poor woman a favor,” he added.

Richard’s heart sank as he witnessed the twisted game unfolding before him. He couldn’t bear to see

Amber caught in Kayden’s games any longer. With an upset look on his face, he stepped forward and

gently took Amber’s trembling hand.

“Come, Amber,” Richard urged, his voice filled with urgency.” Let’s get out of here.” He guided her NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

towards the door, his grip firm yet gentle. But before they could make their escape, Kayden’s

chilling words halted them both in their tracks.

“Wouldn’t you like to know Richard’s role in all of this?” he asked.

Amber’s body stiffened, her eyes wide with fear. She looked at Richard, searching for answers, before

reluctantly turning her gaze back to Kayden. She found her voice, though it trembled as she spoke.

“What do you mean, Kayden? What role did Richard play in my mother’s death?”

Richard’s heart raced, his mind scrambling for a way to diffuse the tension. He wanted desperately to

intervene, to protect Amber from the lies that Kayden was cooking. But he knew any attempt to defend

himself at that moment would only incriminate him further.

Kayden’s smirk widened, relishing in the torment he created. He noticed Richard’s uneasy demeanor and

reveled in his discomfort. Lifting a finger, he pointed it directly at Richard before proceeding to

shatter Amber’s fragile reality.

“Guess who else was in the car the night I ran over your mother,” Kayden taunted.

He walked closer to Amber. “Well, your dear Richard here can tell you all about the accident. After

all, he witnessed everything, the whole dreadful event.”
