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

Chapter 127

Amber’s Pov

I could feel the tension crackling in the air as Richard’s usually calm demeanor was replaced by a

dark cloud of anger. The look in his eyes sent a shiver down my spine, an intensity that I had never

seen before. It was unsettling, to say the least.

“Richard, are you okay?” I asked tentatively, watching him pace back and forth in the room. It almost

I could tell that he was frustrated. “You don’t know her, but she knows you, Amber. I know I’ve never really explained my relationship with her before, but Angela and I had something going on for a few months, but I ended it because of how obsessive she started being. It was barely a month after I ended things with her that I met you, and we got married,” he explained. “If truly Angela is behind the accident, then I’m sure that she did it because of the grudge she has against
