In his spacious office, Kayden Black sat at his desk, his eyes fixed on the glowing screen in front of him. A bitter taste formed in his mouth as he read the headline that seemed to mock him from the

screen.

“Billionaire Tycoon, Richard Romero Marries Amber Grey, Ex–wife to Kayden Black.”

A dark chuckle escaped his l*ps, mingling with the disbelief that clouded his thoughts. He had thought he had seen it all, but this news shook him to his core. He struggled to believe what he was

reading, and seeing with his own eyes, reading it over and over again to be sure that it was a

hallucination.

Martin, his best friend and personal assistant, watched him with a mix of concern and curiosity,

unable to decipher the storm of emotions playing across Kayden’s face.

“Kayden, man, you have to stop staring at that article like you’ve lost your mind,” Martin finally

said, breaking the tense silence of the room.

Kayden tore his gaze away from the screen and looked up at Martin, a perplexed expression etched or

his face. “Does any of this make sense to you?” he asked, his voice tinged with frustration. “Amber

remarries just three months after our divorce, and not just anyone, but my number one hater, Richard Romero? How did that even happen? How does this make any sense?”

Martin let out a sigh and leaned against Kayden’s desk, studying him intently. “Kayden, no offense, but in your own words, you said love and logic don’t go together, and this was your justification for divorcing Amber and marrying her sister,” Martin replied. “Just like it made no sense when you married Marlene, Amber’s sister, just three months after divorcing her, Amber’s marriage to Richard

doesn’t have to make sense to you.”

Kayden’s brows furrowed in frustration as he searched for a response. Martin’s words struck a nerve, making him a lot more upset than he’d like to admit.

He scoffed and looked away, unable to accept the reality before him. “Whose side are you on, Martin?”

Martin let out a soft chuckle, understanding the turmoil raging in his friend. “Kayden, you know my loyalty lies with you, but sometimes, we need to set aside emotions and look at things logically,” he

said. “In this situation, you have no right to be upset about anything Amber does with her life

anymore.”

Kayden let out a heavy sigh, his frustration palpable in the air. “It’s not just the fact that Amber

and Richard got married that bothers me, Martin,” he began. “It’s the fact that I had no idea about

it, that I was completely blindsided.”

Martin nodded sympathetically, understanding the sting of betrayal that Kayden felt. “I get it, man,”

he said. “It’s not easy to accept that your ex–wife is now married to your number one enemy. It must feel like a gang up.”

Kayden’s brow furrowed as he thought aloud, his voice laced with confusion. “And what baffles me

e even

more is how they even met,” he mused. “During our entire marriage, I never once got the sense that

Amber knew who Richard was. They were complete strangers, this I am sure of.”

Martin nodded, mirroring Kayden’s confusion. “That does seem strange,” he agreed. “It’s as if their paths crossed only after your divorce. But why would Richard go to such lengths to marry Amber? There

has to be a motive.”

Kayden’s eyes narrowed as he considered this possibility. “I’m certain that Richard is trying to

screw me over in some way,” he declared. “And marrying Amber seems like the perfect way to achieve.

that.”

Martin raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Kayden’s theory. “But Kayden, why would Richard believe marrying Amber is the most effective way to get to you?” he questioned.

Kayden leaned back in his chair, frustration etched on his face. “Because there’s no other logical explanation,” he replied with conviction. “Richard knows how I operate, how I value my reputation above all else. By marrying Amber, he gains some sort of leverage over me, something he can use to his advantage.”

Martin’s gaze shifted towards the window, lost in thought. After a moment, he turned back to Kayden with a furrowed brow. “Kayden, you said Amber was clueless and naive during your marriage,” he begar slowly. “But what if she knew more than you thought?”

Kayden scoffed, dismissing the idea without hesitation. “Trust me, Martin, Amber was way too oblivious to retain any substantial knowledge about my work,” he retorted, his voice filled with.

Martin wasn’t convinced, his eyes searching Kayden’s face for any sign of doubt. “Are you absolutely. sure about that?” he pressed. “Because if Amber did have knowledge of your work, then marrying Richard might serve a purpose beyond just spite.”

Kayden’s brow furrowed as he considered Martin’s words. Could it be possible that Amber had been more. perceptive than he had given her credit for? A flicker of doubt crossed his mind before he pushed it aside, confident in his assessment of his ex–wife.

“No. Martin,” he said firmly, shaking his head. “Amber was gullible, naive, and oblivious. I’m

certain she knew nothing of my work. Richard’s motive has to be based on some other advantage he

believes he can gain.”

Kayden would pause to think, trying to figure out a possible reason for Richard’s decision to marry

Amber. His brows knitted together as a sudden realization washed over him, his eyes widening in

shock.

Martin, sensing the shift in the atmosphere, leaned forward in his chair, concern etched on his face. “Kayden, what’s going on?” he asked urgently. “Why the sudden gasp?”

Kayden took a moment to gather his thoughts, his mind racing to connect the dots. Finally, he spoke,

his voice filled with disbelief.

“Now I get what is happening. That bastard Richard…he must have found out about Amber’s mother.” he

“Now I get what is happening. That bastard Richard…he must have found out about Amber’s mother,” he exclaimed, the pieces of the puzzle slowly coming together. “That’s the only logical reason why a cunning bastard like Richard would settle for a slow–witted woman like Amber”
