Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival by Jobet GraySon

Chapter Thirty Seven

Third Person POV

“So, what’s the plan, Richard? Now that we’re finally married, what is it you wanted from me that led you to help me?” Amber asked, her tone void of any sort of friendliness.

Last night, she had let go of her pride and had requested to speak to Richard after she noticed that he was upset with her. She had made it very clear that she wasn’t going to take no for an answer, but much to her surprise, he ended up shutting the door in her face.

It had confused Amber so much that she barely slept through the night. No matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn’t understand what she had said that warranted such behavior from him, and after how he had treated her the night before, she woke up telling herself that she no longer cared about his feelings.

She quickly reminded herself that he wasn’t really her husband and that besides their shared enemy, nothing else joined them together.

“This isn’t entirely important, but just out of curiosity, how familiar were you with Kayden’s work? Did you pay attention to his work, or were you shut out completely?” Richard asked, his stern expression mirroring hers.

Amber sighed. “Well, Kayden’s not exactly the smartest person in the world, so getting information about the things he had planned and what he was up to wasn’t entirely difficult. Also, like I told you at the office, he always talked to me about work because he needed my advice,” she explained.

“So in other words, you know just enough, am I right?” Richard asked, and Amber nodded to confirm.

“Good. Since your divorce hasn’t been that long ago, you must have heard about the 401 project, haven’t you?” he asked.

“Isn’t that the project under that recently retired colonel? Colonel Miller, if my memory serves me correctly, and if it’s supposedly going to be an apartment complex with exactly four hundred and one apartments, Amber responded, recalling that she had heard Kayden talking about the project a few weeks before everything went south.

“Yes, that’s the project I’m talking about. If you’ve heard Kayden talking about it, then that means
