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.

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.
