My Husband Cheated On Me So I'm Marrying My Ex
“I’m sure she wasn’t feeling sorry when she’s all up on my husband last night!” When Alexandra finally married her childhood crush at the age of 25, she didn't expect that she would one day catch another woman in the arms of her husband while she hid in the bedroom closet. But there she was, anger, betrayal, and sadness washed over her all at once as she stared at her husband and the woman who had the same dark brown eyes and dark hair as her. They looked almost identical...? That same night, she stumbled onto the beach and before she knew it, she was sitting across the table from her high school ex, Caleb, looking down at the terms of their marriage contract that he drafted up hastily. Fuelled by anger and betrayal by the people she once loved, Alexandra knew she had to take things into her own hands. Together with Caleb, they plot her revenge. ---------------- “Let’s go,” Caleb demanded as he grabbed Alexandra by her wrist without a warning, pulling her away from the chaos and out of the ballroom in a matter of seconds while both Ethan and Hannah watched them leave with a smug smile on their faces. “Why are we the ones leaving?” Alexandra questioned, yanking her wrist out of his grasp as soon as they were out of their sight, just the two of them hidden behind a wall somewhere. Caleb let out a deep breath. “I have my reasons, Al. Trust me.” “Well, they can’t just -” “Hey, hey listen.” He was now looking down at her with both hands on her shoulders as she had her back pushed up against the wall, their faces only a few inches apart. “What?” A smirk etched itself onto his face. “I promise they will regret everything they had said earlier.” “How so?” “You’ll find out soon.”
Chapter 20: The Confession
"Can I say something controversial?"
Alexandra and Caleb were now back in his apartment as they sat outside on the balcony that overlooks the city beneath them, under the night sky as the cool wind ruffled their dark hair.
She turned her head slightly to the side to look at Caleb who was sitting right next to her.
"What?" She asked, curious about what he was going to say next.
"Your mum is a horrible person."
A laugh escaped from her lips. "You are definitely not wrong at all," she chimed in and they both burst into laughter before silence lapsed between the both of them and the sounds of the city lingered in the air.
She watched as he took another swig of ice-cold beer before setting it down on the small wooden table that was sitting in between them. He was staring ahead into the darkness and she couldn't help but notice the way the city lights twinkled in his dark brown eyes as the wind blew his hair.
"Caleb, can I ask you something?"
