I helped Erick's beloved escape to Whyae. That very night, he kidnapped my parents, holding their lives hostage to find her. Erick pressed a button on the remote, and the screen showed my parents separately tied up and suspended from a plane. "Crack!" At Erick's command, a bodyguard fired a shot at the rope, and I could see the rope was about to snap.

Protagonist

: Kimberly Hayes and Erick Blake

I Married my Ex-husband's Rival Chapter 1

Erick Blake sat at the head of the table. A few buttons of his shirt were unfastened at the chest. A cigar rested between his fingers, while his other hand tapped the armrest with a steady rhythm.

"Kimberly, don't be stubborn," he gently reminded. "You have 30 seconds to tell me where you've sent Hannah."

Erick was using my parents' lives to control me.

"Enough." I couldn't stop my voice from trembling. "They're my parents. They are the most important family in my life..."

Erick's fingers paused.

My heart skipped a beat.

His deep, meaningful eyes fixed on me. "Really? So when you sent Hannah to Whyae, didn't you think she was important to me?"

Fear spread from my spine to my entire body. And my fingers clenched into fists.

Was she important to him?

Erick had told me that Hannah Harrison was an adopted daughter of his relatives, and I was his beloved wife.

Yet now, he was threatening to kill my parents for her sake.

"Erick," I choked out, "would you really shoot my parents if I don't tell you?"

He sneered, and his dark eyes reflected my pale face. "You can try."

Outside the window, the wind and rain lashed against the glass, mirroring the despair in my heart.

I couldn't comprehend why Erick had become so cruel. He had always indulged and cherished me before.

Memories came flooding back.

Years ago, I was just a young woman from an ordinary family, while Erick was the sole heir to the city's wealthiest family. He was born into a golden destiny, with an aloof grace and an overbearing presence.

Yet, Erick gave me a beginning that was far too dazzling.

He had driven four hours to a distant bakery just to buy my favorite bread.

He remembered my menstrual cycle. He prepared painkillers in advance and warmed my abdomen with his heated, dry hands.

He even had the sculpture garden he designed with his own hands cleared away and replaced it with a garden filled entirely with lilies of the valley planted for me by him personally.

He even bought an island because I loved diving. He carefully followed me underwater.

Those silent gestures of consideration had deeply moved me. I was captivated completely and had him fill every corner of my heart and mind.

I willingly fell for him, who was untouchable to others and who was tenderly devoted to me.

But things changed when... I first heard the name Hannah.

It was when I accidentally overheard two chefs gossiping in the kitchen. I dismissed it. I believed that Erick always had boundaries, especially since Hannah was a distant relative of his.

Yet the next time I heard that name was when Erick, lost in passion over me, let out a muffled cry of "Hannah."

At that moment, my mind went blank.

I questioned him, but he leaned down again to explain that Hannah was merely a distant relative who admired him. "Don't worry. The most important one in my heart is you, and only you."

But as time went on, Erick showed less and less restraint.

He left me behind on our wedding anniversary to spend the entire night in wild abandon with Hannah, even bringing her to my mother-in-law's birthday banquet, fueling endless rumors.

I cried and argued, but Erick no longer cared for my feelings as he once had. He just scolded me with clear annoyance. "Stop it. I don't have time to comfort you."

In the end, I couldn't tolerate it and had Hannah sent to Whyae.

But I never imagined Erick would kidnap my parents and suspend them from a plane mid-flight just to force me to reveal Hannah's whereabouts.

"She's in Whyae," I said to Erick. "Pattaya, Whyae."

A powerful hand, like a venomous serpent, clamped down on the back of my neck. It wrenched me aside and flung me away with force. Then he eagerly rose to pick Hannah up.

"Wait. What about my parents?" I screamed in desperation. "You know where Hannah is. Let my parents go."

Erick looked down at me coldly. "On the cliff edge on the mountain in the north outskirts. Your time is running out."

I rushed out and floored the gas pedal of the sports car, ignoring the police cars chasing me. I sped to the steepest cliff at the southern outskirts.

When I found my parents, they were bound at the cliff's edge. Their mouths were sealed. The ropes were on the verge of breaking.

At the sight of me, they shook their heads desperately.

I couldn't care anymore and rushed to the cliff. I tried to wrap the ropes binding my parents with my hands.

"Ugh!" Before I could touch the ropes, a massive force nearly pulled me off the cliff. Pain seared through my chest and arms. My skin was shredded by jagged rocks, and the air filled with the scent of blood.

"Ah!" I anchored my leg around a skeletal tree at the cliff's edge and battled through the agony. I roared and pulled my parents up with all my might.

...

When I woke up again, I was already in the hospital.

My parents were on the brink of death. But thankfully, they had been out of danger.

I got down on my knees in front of them and said, "I'm sorry... I married the wrong guy..."

Weakly, my father raised his hand and gently placed it on my head. "We're family, and we don't blame you. Just leave him."

Tears filled my eyes. "I can't escape."

I had handed divorce papers to Erick countless times, but he always tore them up.

He trapped me in his arms and forced me to face him. He coldly warned me that I could never escape his control.

Erick maintained that his attentiveness to Hannah was merely because she was his distant relative and that I was his true love.

So he wouldn't let me go and urged me to behave well.

I smiled faintly and didn't argue with him.

"Well, is she a distant relative of his? Do I look foolish?" I said to myself inwardly.

My father said weakly, "You can, Kimberly. There's something your mom and I haven't told you. Erick probably doesn't remember it either. Before you got married, we talked to him and made him sign the divorce papers."

I was stunned.

"If Erick cheats," my father held my hand, "the divorce agreement becomes binding. You don't need his consent and can divorce him directly. Then you can never see him again."

My parents had actually planned ahead to protect me like that.

...

The next day, I did two things.

First, I took the signed divorce papers to the city hall.

The staff checked and filed them. "The agreement is valid, and the divorce is immediate."

Second, I sent a message to a phone number. "The flight is in five days, on the anniversary. He will receive the death notification."

The reply came instantly. "Can I pick you up myself five days later?"

"You can, as long as you don't mind the trouble."

I deleted the messages and stepped into the snow.

I successfully cancelled my identity, and there would be no Kimberly Hayes in the world.

And Erick would never find me again.

I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!" The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed. I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella. ************************************************************************************************************************ "I want to get a divorce, Mark," I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time-even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.

I was four months pregnant, weighing over two hundred pounds, and my heart was failing from experimental treatments forced on me as a child. My doctor looked at me with clinical detachment and told me I was in a death sentence: if I kept the baby, I would die, and if I tried to remove it, I would die. Desperate for a lifeline, I called my father, Francis Acosta, to tell him I was sick and pregnant. I expected a father's love, but all I got was a cold, sharp blade of a voice. "Then do it quietly," he said. "Don't embarrass Candi. Her debutante ball is coming up." He didn't just reject me; he erased me. My trust fund was frozen, and I was told I was no longer an Acosta. My fiancé, Auston, had already discarded me, calling me a "bloated whale" while he looked for a thinner, wealthier replacement. I left New York on a Greyhound bus, weeping into a bag of chips, a broken woman the world considered a mistake. I couldn't understand how my own father could tell me to die "quietly" just to save face for a party. I didn't know why I had been a lab rat for my family’s pharmaceutical ambitions, or how they could sleep at night while I was left to rot in the gray drizzle of the city. Five years later, the doors of JFK International Airport slid open. I stepped onto the marble floor in red-soled stilettos, my body lean, lethal, and carved from years of blood and sweat. I wasn't the "whale" anymore; I was a ghost coming back to haunt them. With my daughter by my side and a medical reputation that terrified the global elite, I was ready to dismantle the Acosta empire piece by piece. "Tell Francis to wash his neck," I whispered to the skyline. "I'm home."
