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

Chapter Seventy Three

Third Person POV.

Richard walked into the dimly lit bar, the familiar buzz of conversations and clinking glasses enveloping him. He scanned the room until he spotted Killian at the bar, a half–empty glass of whiskey in front of him. Richard made his way through the crowd, tapping Killian lightly on the back to call his attention.

Killian turned, his face lighting up with a smile, as he saw Richard. “Hey, there he is!” he exclaimed, raising his glass in a mock salute. “To what do I owe the pleasure of this unexpected outing? I didn’t think I’d be seeing you at a bar for at least six months since you seem so preoccupied with

your wife.”

Richard settled onto the bar stool next to Killian, motioning for the bartender to serve him his usual drink. He let out a small sigh before answering. “Well, I needed to talk to someone, K. And you’re the only one I can trust with this.”

Killian furrowed his brows, concem etching his features. “What’s wrong, Richard? Did something happen? Did you and Amber already get into a fight?” he asked. “You know you can always count on me, no

matter what.”

Richard took a moment to collect his thoughts, swirling the amber liquid in his glass. He knew that what he was about to say would shock Killian, and there was no easy way to break the news. “No, we didn’t fight, but I do want to tell you the truth. Amber and I… our marriage, it isn’t real,” he finally confessed.

He knew he had specifically told Amber that they weren’t allowed to tell their friends, but with everything that had been on his mind lately, he desperately wanted to talk to the one person he knew was an expert when it came to women and feelings.

Killian stared at Richard, his eyes widening in disbelief. “What?” he exclaimed, his voice filled

with disbelief. “But… but you two seemed so happy together. I thought…”

Richard interrupted him with a shake of his head. “I know, I know. We put on a good show, didn’t we?

But it was all a contract, Killian, We got married to benefit both our lives, but there are no

feelings between us, or should I say there were no feelings between us.”

Killian shook his head in disbelief, a mixture of shock and disappointment etched on his face. “I should have known something was off when you suddenly announced that you were getting married.’ muttered, his voice tinged with disbelief. “You, Richard Romero, who has always condemned the idea o marriage, suddenly settling down? It just didn’t make sense.”

Richard sighed, running a hand through his hair in frustration. “I know, I know,” he replied. “I was actually surprised that you believed me so easily, and I know I should have told you the truth much sooner, but for obvious reasons, I couldn’t.”

Killian let out a heavy sigh, leaning back in his seat. “Alright, Richard. Tell me what the hell

happened,” he said. “How did you and Amber meet? And why the hell did you guys get into a contract

marriage of all things?”

Richard took a moment to gather his thoughts, his gaze fixed on the half–empty glass in front of him. ” As you know, Amber is Kayden’s ex–wife,” he began, his voice low and tense. “I approached her and offered to help her get revenge on Kayden and her sister. But we had to do it as a married couple; it was the only way to make it work.”

Killian’s jaw dropped, his eyes widening in disbelief. “Wait, hold on,” he spluttered. “Are you

telling me that you approached Amber and offered her revenge in exchange for a marriage? Have you lost your mind, Richard?”

Richard bristled at Killian’s reaction, shaking his head vehemently. “No, that’s not how I meant it,”

he protested. “I knew she was hurting, and I wanted to use her to get back at Kayden for what he did to her. But I also wanted to offer her a way to get revenge, to regain her strength, and also her

confidence.”

Killian’s confusion only deepened, his eyes narrowing as he processed Richard’s explanation. “No amount of explanation is going to make that sound any less messed up, Richard,” he replied, his voice filled with disbelief. “You approach a vulnerable woman and offer her marriage for revenge? That’s not the way to help someone. You could have offered revenge without marriage.”

Richard rolled his eyes, frustration bubbling beneath the surface. “This isn’t why I called you out here, Killian,” he snapped, his voice laced with irritation. “I needed someone to talk to and to vent my frustrations, not to have you judge me for a decision I already made.”

Killian let out a sigh. His curiosity piqued as he tried to make sense of Richard’s contradicting emotions. “So, let me get this straight. You called me out here to tell me that your marriage to Amber is a sham, and now you’re regretting making the decision to get married?”
