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

Chapter 57



Chapter Fifty Seven 

Richard’s POV. 

I observed Amber as she stood in front of me, her eyes filled with newfound confidence and a trace of darkness that sent a shiver down my spine. 

It was evident that she had transformed into the fearless and determined woman I had hoped she would 

become, ready to do whatever it took to exact her revenge. But as much as I appreciated this side of 

her, I couldn’t ignore the subtle changes in her eyes. 

They now held a darkness and a lifelessness that concerned me more than I had anticipated. It was as 

though she had lost all meaning and purpose besides her quest for revenge, and it scared me to think 

of what she was slowly turning into. 

Initially, this transformation was my desire and the main reason I approached her. I had wanted her 

to find her strength, lose her morals, and confront her enemies head–on. But now, seeing the depths 

of her transformation and the emptiness in her gaze, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of fear for 

her. 

What if she loses herself completely in this pursuit of revenge? What if she becomes consumed by the 

darkness she carries now and never finds a way out even after she gets what she wants? 

Amber’s voice cut through, snapping me out of my reverie. She questioned if I had been paying attention to her words. “Of course, I’ve been listening to you, Amber.” I quickly lied, despite 

missing half of what she had said after mentioning hiring a S*x worker willing to get hit. 

She continued, revealing her plan for Anthony Black, and I couldn’t help but admire her strategic 

mind

Still, concern filled me, not just for her current state but also for what would happen once our revenge was achieved. We would no longer have a reason to be married or be in each other’s lives, and I feared that Amber might lose herself irrevocably in the process. And unfortunately, I would no longer be obligated to protect her. 

As I dwelled on these worries, Amber’s voice cut through my thoughts once again. “To get a S*x worke who’s willing, I’ll need a large sum of money. I’ll also need to pay off Helena and a few other people I plan on using along the way. As you know, I married you for your power and your money, so

I’m going to have to politely ask that you permit me to use a huge chunk of your money for what I 

have planned,” she mentioned suddenly. 

I furrowed my brow, wondering why she was speaking of the need for money when I had already given her 

a card with no spending limit. Did she lose it? 

“Amber, did you already lose the card I gave you just a few days ago, or did you forget the account 

details?” 

To my relief, she shook her head. After she confirmed that she didn’t lose it, I then questioned why she was talking about needing a huge amount of money when she already had access to unlimited fur 

Her smile appeared, a glimmer of mischief dancing in her eyes. “I just wanted to get your permission first. The money isn’t technically mine, and I didn’t feel comfortable spending it without checking with you first. Also, I wouldn’t want your financial advisors checking your bank statement and 

gasping in shock.” 

I rolled my eyes a bit before shaking my head. “Amber, I’ve already told you that the card is yours 

to use for whatever you need. There’s a reason it has no limit. I can assure you that you can’t spend 

enough to shock me or my advisors, so just do whatever you want, and don’t worry about getting 

permission from me.” 

I couldn’t fathom why she would be concerned about spending the money when she had an abundan 

her disposal. 

“If I don’t get your go–ahead, I won’t proceed, Richard. Also, I’ll only be using the card for our 

joint business. Other than that, I won’t be using your money for anything else,” she replied. 

“Just do whatever is right for you, Amber. Spend as much as you need on whatever you want, even if 

it’s personal. I want you‘ to have everything you need to execute your plan successfully, and your 

should feel supported and free to use the resources at your disposal.” 

“Aww, thank you, baby,” Amber suddenly responded with a subtle wink. 

The fact that she called me baby, coupled with the wink, had caught me off guard completely and had 

made my heart skip a beat. 

I knew she was only trying to mess with me as usual, but I couldn’t understand why such a simple 

gesture from her affected me so strangely. Our relationship was supposed to be a business

arrangement, devoid of any genuine emotions. And yet, the things she just said and what she did had the power to make me fee things I shouldn’t. 

Shaking off my confusion, I looked away from her. This arrangement had a purpose, and being attracted to Amber was not part of it. I couldn’t afford to let my guard down and risk complicating things 

further. 

I cleared my throat, trying to focus on the reason I had asked us to talk initially. “You know how I suggested earlier that we stop your sister and that reporter? Well, one of the reasons I’m concerned about Marlene working with a reporter to tarnish your reputation is because we have our first public appearance as a married couple coming up,” I explained 

“Oh really?” She responded, obviously surprised. “If you’re worried that I can’t handle it, then 

you’re wrong, Richard. I’ll be fine,” she assured, 

Her confidence impressed me, but I couldn’t help but worry. “I know you’re strong, Amber. But the media can be ruthless. It’s overwhelming even for those of us who have been in the spotlight for years,” I confessed. “I just don’t want you to be caught off guard.” 

Amber smiled warmly, a glimmer of excitement in her eyes. “I appreciate your concern, Richard,” she said sincerely. “But don’t worry; I can handle the reporters. Besides, it’s our first public 

appearance as a married couple, and I want to make a statement. The more controversial I am, the more 

fun it’ll be. Anyway, whose event is it and when is it happening?” 

“It’s happening in two days, and it’s the birthday party of one of my father’s closest friends,” I replied. “He’s a famous fashion designer with a lot of celebrity friends, so I’m pretty sure it’s going to be extravagant.” 

The thought of being at the event already gave me a migraine, knowing very well that I’d have to deal with a bunch of people I didn’t like and also endure listening to stories I could care less about. 

‘I 

In contrast to my annoyance, Amber’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “A fashion designer’s birthday party? Oh, that sounds like so much fun! I can’t wait,” she exclaimed, and seeing her smile genuinely made my heart skip again.
