158Zara's POV(After she ran away amidst explaining herself to Hunter in front of Caine and Claire outside her house)I dropped the act after taking a turn into the alley that is around Claire's house at a five minute distance. There I found Pete, the man who told me about this seller of medicinal herbs. It was through him I got to know that the seller was also involved in unethical trading."So, how did it go?" Pete asked me with a lopsided smirk."What do my eyes suggest?" I walked into his personal space as I pushed him against the wall.His hand automatically went around my waist as he began to ground his lower regions against my stomach."They look puffy and..." He seemed to think with his smirk widening. "if I didn't know your real face, I would have been dumbstruck too. They did the job the best they could do.""They did." I winked at him. "And the credits go to you. Thank you for helping me. I would have been caught if you hadn't informed me in time."The alley was dark with p
Regretting Divorce Chapter 159
159While he's fingering my pússy, I think back at why I have him against my body, playing with my sex. Oh yeah, because he hates Hunter and wants to see his downfall. Not that I was interested in getting involved with a man who deeply loathed my future husband, I had no other choice than let him be a part of my plan. Pete threatened to blow my mask in front of Hunter if I didn't let him play along. He offered to help, and I told him to help me take Caine in my confidence without letting him know. I thought Pete would fail. But when he ran into me in a club I went to with Enzo, he told me about the seller and that he also sold stuff he shouldn't. That's when I knew I could hit two birds with a single stone. Right after that, Enzo and I planned the accident that Claire missed, thanks to Hunter. It was on the same night that I also decided to use the sex booster on Hunter. Although I used booster fluids that I got from my previous working place, I mixed it in tea. I intended to get
Regretting Divorce Chapter 160
160"Why don't you accept it, Zara? It's over. You lost the battle before it began. You can't succeed because Hunter was never yours. In anything, you only made him realize his feelings towards his wife."My chest thrummed with a building need to scream. Those were the exact words Claire said."I know that, so what? I don't want Hunter for love. I just want his money and his body."I freed my hand and came out. I was getting annoyed by Enzo's persistence. He followed me out, leaving a wet trail after him."Why don't you go away for a while? I need some privacy." I glared at him with disdain but he won't budge."Zara, I truly can't help myself. Don't you think I would have walked away the first time I learned that you go to sex and BDSM Clubs? Except that I can't. I've badly fallen for you.""Not my headache. Sort out your emotions and move on. I can't settle down with any man who has no big bank balance, let alone with a man who works as a personal security guard." I didn't even spare
Regretting Divorce Chapter 161
161Zara's POV"Oh god, Zara! I'm scared for you." My fake sobs came to a halt as I heard an equally jarring fake gasp on the call. "How big is the knife? Is it a katana? Or a machete?" The mockery in those words pierced my ego like the tip of an obsidian blade. When I say obsidian blade, I remember reading once that it is the sharpest blade in the world. One can only imagine how deep the tip wounded my ego.Claire was answering Hunter's phone. It couldn't get any worse than this. She sounded proud... Like nothing could feel better than having Hunter under her control. Hunter under her control— I was forced to picture him with eyes staring aimlessly in the air. Like a man possessed by an evil entity while Claire stood behind him, giving him commands that he followed like a robot. The image shook me. It felt like Claire was holding a sword on my head. There is no other way I could describe this situation because if Hunter believed her words then I'm so gone. It sent a shiver down my
Regretting Divorce Chapter 162
162Zara's POVFor the next two days, our attention was on Jack Stones, the detective. It was not startling that he was able to find most of my information— with evidence. One must think that it would have left me with sweat and tears. But no, all it did was thrill me. It was disappointing that Hunter was not in my control any longer. He was being controlled by Claire and it had led him to hire a personal investigator. Considering how stealthily Jack Stones worked, he might have received special orders to keep it private. It couldn't hide from my eyes though. The eyes I have come to look for me in exchange of physical pleasure. "He's here at the sex club." Enzo said over the phone. Today was the third day and I was hoping to see Jack here. He had been to all the places and people I was connected to. This was the last place he was coming to visit and I was here to give him a surprise. Or rather, a deal of life and death. "Let him come. I'm waiting for him." I replied while taking a
Regretting Divorce Chapter 163
163"This can't be true." Hunter muttered it for the tenth time in the last five minutes.Jack was watching Hunter closely. Sweat beads rolled down the length of his spine as he tried not to give away his anxiety in front of the wealthiest man who hired him to find him the truth. Except that he was giving his client lies. Lies that he fabricated for getting sèx from Zara. Lies for saving Zara from going to jail. Lies for helping her step-up her game... And lies to destroy Claire's character in Hunter's eyes."Unfortunately, it is. I cross checked everything myself, Mr. MacIntyre. It's not what you expected to hear, but it's the truth. Your ex-wife was the one wearing an innocent face all this time, not Miss Levine. " Jack kept his hand on Hunter's shoulder as he shook his face.He was in awe at how Hunter kept his features professionally impassive. But white. Ghostly white. His lips were sealed in a line as he attempted to stay indifferent and those dark eyes were on the verge of lo
Regretting Divorce Chapter 164
164Hunter didn't move even after Detective Jack left twenty minutes ago. His body was locked in place while his eyes continuously streamed. There was just one thing his heart chanted, "Claire is innocent. I know she's innocent."Alas, the evidence in his hold made his breaths hitch. Hunter languidly lowered his head. His colorless face puckered a little as he clenched his jaw to the point of breaking. "This can't..." He faded out as anxiety assailed him. While gawking at the stack of papers he had in a tight grip, he wished that he had never hired Jack Stones. He wished that he could just get away with Claire from this world and its shit load of issues behind to somewhere only they both existed. He wished that the detective didn't come today. Today... Of all days! Hunter flickered his lashes and looked around. He was taken aback when everything around him looked black and white. He felt as though color was leached out of the world, leaving him with only black and white. There were
Regretting Divorce Chapter 165
165The dinner date was awesome. Hunter blushed more than Claire. Although he chased after her to convince her for a date, Claire surprised him with his favorite food and flowers. The scented candle added beauty to their table while the surroundings were made of dark wooden walls, giving the vibe of being inside the trunk of a tree. And guess what, the walls were soundproof. It was a good opportunity to make it up to Claire for the tasty food and everything, but Hunter's heart was restless. As much as he wanted to spend more time with her, he had to grab her hands and hold her from stepping out of her gown. "I will tear it off your mouth watering figure, Dove. I just have something to take care of tonight." He had said. Claire looked disappointed but she let it pass with a radiating smile. "Okay, just be safe. Do apply the herbal paste I packed for you. It'll help heal your infected wounds faster. " "I won't forget that." Hunter had replied whilst suppressing his tears. Then when

203"Mr. Argent, it's very important for me to see your daughter. Allow me this one time, please. It's about our future." Hunter said ignoring Andrea as he addressed Dominic. Feeling insulted, Andrea spoke with disdain, "What future? My daughter's future is better off without you. You left her when she needed you the most. Now that we are trying to set her up with a far better match, you want to waltz back in her life. Dream on, Hunter. It's not happening. Her parents are standing in between her and you. We will never let you get to her again.""Did you really think you could slink back into Claire's life after your ex's true nature was exposed? You're delusional if you think that's possible."Hunter gave her a stoic look, although his red eyes showed his turmoil."And do you think I'm coming back only because Zara's arrested now? It's you who's dreaming, Mrs. Argent. Claire and I've never parted ways even after the divorce. Our separation brought us closer— me actually.""I realized
Regretting Divorce Chapter 202
202"SCOTT, NO!" They exclaimed in unison, but Scott was already charging towards Hunter like a madman.Claire, who had been sobbing against her father's chest, snapped her head up at Hunter's mention. Color drained from her face witnessing Hunter at the doorstep with crimson-rimmed eyes. Their gazes locked, and everything he had said to her came flooding back to her in an overwhelming wave. Despite the look of pleading on his face and apology in his eyes, she remained hard-hearted. However, the part that loved her once... The part that basked in the sight of him being praised and respected by her family became distressed. Scott was a decade younger to Hunter, and even though the latter treated her like a doormat wife with zero worth in his life, he was still related to her. Ex-husband... But still they had a past. Claire stepped out of her father's arms as Scott dashed towards Hunter, driven by instincts. "Hunter MacIntyre, you've hurt my sister enough. Time to pay back!" Her hea
Regretting Divorce Chapter 201
201Outside the Argent Villa,Scott and Shawn met each other outside the former's house. Their faces were dull with worry and in the rain storm, they stood soaking wet."Did you find anything about your brother?" Scott asked as he wiped a hand on his face to clear his vision."Yeah, he's at a pub.... With a woman." Shawn uttered the last three words between clenching teeth.Scott wasn't surprised. He was aware of his best friend's elder brother's way to avoid media attention concerning his personal life. He was just slightly affected that Tyler lied to go to pub to find a random chick to click with, so he could post fake dating news with her, instead of attending a dinner with his family.They've been waiting so restlessly to have him at home. The look of sorrow on Andrea's face was pitiful. Scott recalled that expression and exhaled a sigh. His mother had been overly excited to have Tyler at home. She had prepared so many dishes for him, which they had to eat alone and in silence. Cl
Regretting Divorce Chapter 200
200"This is all, but I swear, I haven't seen any other woman since that encounter with that wench. It was after that incident I started noticing you. The second year of our marriage consists of me observing everything you did. That's how I learned your favorites, although I never let it show until now."Hunter tried to close the gap between them with small steps, hoping that when he was standing before her, Claire wouldn't push him away. After all, he had a huge list of extra marital relations. "When I started learning things about you, it slowly came to my understanding that you were exactly how I would have preferred my life partner to be. You were firm with a touch of boldness. You could be extremely caring at times and extensively outraged if annoyed. You didn't hesitate to make me pay for my ignorance and then you also came to show your love to me when you felt that I wasn't going to do it. You held the torch in our relationship and lives, and radiated it with your resilience."
Regretting Divorce Chapter 199
199"I was mentally dead. Although I married you, I didn't feel the excitement as that of a married man because you weren't the woman I want. So, I just spent my time at the club with Cole and other friends.""Even if you weren't the bride I saw myself saying 'I do' for, I was determined to never stray. But that night, that night something got into. I was not heavily drunk but I kissed a woman who sat in my life. I groped her even though Cole and my friends warned me of having a wife. I didn't know what I was doing."Claire's stare became painful. She internally lamented as her heart yelled from the pain of his treachery. His confession now hurt like a third degree burn. She didn't know when she started sobbing, but that was the only sound she heard. She felt as though she’d suddenly jumped off a cliff. What she was feeling was beyond anyone's imagination. Accepting Hunter's infidelity before marriage was bearable. But thinking of him doing the same in the first week after he was dec
Regretting Divorce Chapter 198
198"It happened a few days after Zara left me. I was heartbroken and mentally disturbed. The blaring music of the club became my companion as I found solace in alcohol. I would spend the days at office and my nights at the club." Hunter began. Now that she asked him to be honest, he was not going to skip anything. She also warned him to share it even it's hurtful, so he would do that too. As long as it convinced her to stay and be with him, he would do anything. Although that's not what he thought he would be compelled to do when he left his house to find Claire, he had no other choice. Hunter's heart raced in his chest. He was making mistake after mistake recently. One action he took to soothe his nerves ended up causing a ripple effect of consequences. Hence, he wasn't going to make another mistake by skipping any detail of his infidelity. The air was cool, and yet he sweated profusely while his face remained as white as the moon. "But I was never alone. Cole was there with me.
Regretting Divorce Chapter 197
197A thunder clapped in the sky with lightning, illuminating their faces for a nanosecond. Hunter was panicked by her words and the expression he caught in the light from her face made his blood rush to his head. He moved closer. He pulled her to his chest and leaned his face near hers. Claire squirmed and wriggled like a fish taken out of water. But she calmed down the minute he pinned her to the tree and rested his forehead against hers, his mouth aligned with hers while his thrumming heart synced with her own. The air seemed to turn colder as darkness increased. They couldn't see each other. But in the back of their minds, they pictured each other's expressions and emotions as they breathed heavily in sync. "You are a jerk... And I hate you." Claire sobbed. Her body was shaking in misery. She was crying because of his disappearance and caressed her back. He moved his mouth to her jaw and trailed a line of kisses along her jaw to her neck as he whispered sorry to hers. Claire
Regretting Divorce Chapter 196
196Claire dashed a hand over her cheeks to wipe her tears. She didn't know where else to go— where she could cry without being interuptted by her loved ones or well-wishers— so she came to the only place she thought would offer her the privacy and quiet she needed during this phase of her life... The lake.The same lake that was her companion during her teenage years. The same lake around which she touched herself for the first time while imagining Hunter. The same lake that soothed her heart and brought delight to her face whenever she came here in the past.However, she felt cold in her heart tonight when she came here. Her eyes stung from tears that build up. Stopping near a tree, Claire slumped down. She was tired of feeling disappointed at how her life was unfolding.Twists and turns aggravated her. It was like every month her life took a turn. While one month she was all gloomy and struggling to focus in life, the other month she was too exhilarated to contain it. The changing
Regretting Divorce Chapter 195
195There was silence on the line from both sides. They contemplated where their siblings would go at this hour of night. A thunder roared outside and they both returned back to their senses. "It's completely okay for Tyler to stay out at this hour of night. It's not the first time. But Claire..." Shawn trailed off. "This isn't like Claire. Something's wrong." "We have to find them. Now. I'm coming to your place, Scott. I'll pick you up and we'll go together." Shawn announced."Let's go find them. I need to know what's going on. Claire would never disappear without a word." ***At Hunter's Mansion, Cole sat on the patio, his weary figure slumped in a chair. He was smoking while scrolling through his face. His face was grim while his lips twisted at the posts he came across on his feed. Tyler and Claire were trending. Some stupid social media manipulator started a rumor and it was going awfully viral now. Although Cole understood that it was fake, it sparked widespread frenzy. Us
