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

Chapter 145

Third Person POV.

Kayden crossed his arms, his face hardening with frustration and disbelief at Marlene’s audacity to actually come to his house, knowing that he wanted

nothing to do with her.

“We have nothing to talk about, Marlene,” Kayden stated firmly. “You know better than to show your face here, especially now that you’ve been publicly exposed as me ntally unstable. Don’t make me call security to have you dragged

out.”

Marlene let out a dark, unimpressed laugh, her eyes glittering with a mix of amusement and malice. “Oh, sweetheart, please be serious,” she retorted, her voice dripping with contempt. “Just because the world doesn’t know that you’re equally as crazy as I am doesn’t change the fact that you’re just as deranged. When we’re alone, try not to act like a better person. You’ll only be pi ssing me off even more.”

Kayden’s nostrils flared, his anger threatening to boil over. He took a step forward, and his eyes narrowed into slits. “Watch your words, Marlene,” he warned through gritted teeth. “I’m in no mood to deal with you, so watch what you say and leave…,”

Marlene stretched out her hand, cutting through his words to silence him. Her confident, measured steps brought her closer to him, her heels clicking against the floor.

“I didn’t come here for petty arguments, Kayden,” Marlene declared coldly. “Like you said, I’m already in the red, most likely ruined, with little to no chances of ever being out of the red, so I plan on using whatever time I have left to do whatever I want without regrets.”

Kayden frowned, wariness etched across his face. “What do you want from me, Marlene? How are your plans any of my business?” he questioned, his voice tinged with suspicion.

He wanted to uncover her true motives and protect himself from whatever twisted

plan she had concocted in her sick head.

Marlene stopped in front of him, her eyes glaring into his, unblinking.

“You see,” Marlene began, “I’m a firm believer in an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and a life for a life. So to answer your question, I’m here to

make sure you pay for your generous attempt to have me buried alive.”

A sinister smile played on Kayden’s lips as he stared her down with a mix of

amusement and disdain. “You’ve certainly lost your mind, Marlene,” he sneered.

“How do you plan on making me pay for trying to kill you? You think you stand a
