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

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

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

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

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

166Cole was out of breath and all red when he stopped on the top of the lighthouse. Hunter was facing the water, his back rigid and a gloomy air emanating from him. "Dude, I almost killed myself coming here." Coming to stand next to his best friend, Cole held the railing and leaned forward as he dragged deep breaths. Hunter hasn't moved yet and his profile appeared worrisome. His silence sent an eerie chill along Cole's spine. He straightened and shook Hunter. "Bro! Where are you lost?" Hunter jerked out of his trance with a loud heave. He blinked his eyes and shook his head to restore his composure before giving Cole a defeated look. "You're here, Cole." Hunter muttered in what sounded like the voice of a man who's lost everything. "What's up with you, man? You look pathetic." Hunter looked down in response. "I am not a paranormal creature or something. I won't know unless you speak, buddy. Tell me." Cole poked him with an elbow. "I don't know where to begin!" There was a so

167Although Penny had come to Claire the instant Cole left to meet Hunter, she had been alone in her friend's bedroom since she arrived. Claire was summoned by her father in his study for work-related reasons, leaving Penny with nothing to do. Also, it's been a while since Cole left and her curiosity was growing with each minute. She hadn't thought she would get this update from Cole when she messaged him. Now she was glad that she did. Else nobody would have ever found out that Hunter had bought the services of a detective to search Zara's background. A tremor of indignation ran through her body as she reread Cole's recent text. 'The search indicated Claire's involvement in Zara's attack and that she paid goons to rape Zara. Evidence revealed a whole new face of Claire which Hunter and I can't come to agree with. He's in a doubt something's off.'Some of her anger reduced reading the text again. At least, the last part was relieving enough to bring a smile to her lips. "Good for

168"What does it have to do with your coming here?" Hunter snapped in a tone laced with wrath.For reasons unknown, he was pouring his anger on poor Monty, unaware of the man's stature.But when Monty shared who he was and why he was here, Hunter's heart bottomed out as his face became further colorless. "Oh, I apologize for not introducing myself properly. I'm Monty Rycloft, a detective by profession and Claire hired me to work for her six months ago when you wanted to leave her for Zara. She's asked me to search Zara's background." "And here..." He lifted his file of evidence towards Hunter. "... are the real evidence. The ones you have, I don't know what the detective did to gather them, they are fake and fabricated."With a heart that became double its size, hurting so much in his chest that he felt he might just die of heart problems, Hunter took the file. A drop of sweat rolled below his forehead to his jaw. It shone in the light illuminating overhead as he flipped the file o

236Claire was taken aback. She chuckled, realizing Tyler was siding with Hunter. She didn't call him out for defending Hunter and kept the conversation going. "Yeah, Zara and her leave... I know that. He was depressed by her departure." She said so flatly that Tyler couldn't help but wince. "God, I think I know why you're so pissed. You have two solid reasons. One is obviously Hunter's confession and second is Zara. You're holding those both against him to make him pay, aren't you?""It was never a secret!" "It wasn't, I know, but Claire..." Tyler heaved. "Well, as a person who was cheated and abandoned by his lover, I can understand both of your feelings. I know what it feels to know when your lover has betrayed you. And I also know what it feels like when they leave you without a proper closure.""So Claire..." Tyler stiffened his shoulders. "From a man's perspective, I don't think what Hunter did was wrong. I mean, it was wrong to you but as a man we don't have many ways to tak

235"Shít! I'm sorry, Claire. I didn't think it would tear. I'm sorry." Tyler spoke ruefully. He watched as Claire's face paled and some tears strolled out of her eyes. The room was engulfed by vulnerable silence again and the tension returned. Despite that Tyler smiled seeing her reaction. 'You're very lucky, Hunter. How much I wish Ezma felt this way after sleeping with you. But that bítch had no remorse on her face. She even seemed relaxed about getting rid of me.' He mused and tried to take the letter from her. He reached out for the two pieces of the paper. Claire gave him a warning look as if it was her heart he was asking for, not the letter. The cracks on her lips amazed him, prompting him to smile wider. 'Claire even wounded her mouth for kissing me. This is the love I desire in my life. On the other hand, I tasted ugly betrayal. Ezma hadn't even tried to cover herself when I found her naked in bed beside your sleeping figure, Hunter.' The faint ache in Tyler's chest fro

234Claire glanced at the clock in the room for the Nth time with her burning red eyes. Tears never stopped and no matter how much she tried to distract herself, she was thrown back into the setting at the tourist spot with Hunter on his knees in front of her while she arrogantly waited for him to apologize in the crowded place.She hadn't assumed Hunter would do it. He was a man who wore his pride as a crown and not once did he let him head lower. He was invincible and extremely powerful.Alas, she made it happen what even his powerful enemies couldn't do after spending millions of money. She brought him on his knees and even had a vlogger record his video. She was afraid to check the social media and all the comments on the posts regarding Hunter's apology making rounds online.Claire was hyperventilating as Hunter's images didn't let her relax. She tried to get some fresh air and walked towards the window. The winds were cold but she was still feeling suffocated. She tried to medit

233"But, baby, I am happy that I took it off, else it would have been sitting like a huge rock on my chest. I wanted you to know about those times so we could start afresh. My only mistake was that I shared it at the wrong time... And you were not ready for it. I shouldn't have—" "Cut to the chase, MacIntyre! Apology. I want your apology, not your boring 'I am guilty' speech." Claire raised an eye arrogantly while the crowd around her twisted their lips or showed their annoyance in different ways.My speech was touching them, possessing their hearts and Claire probably noticed that and cut in. Even the girl with the camera scowled but her face softened when she looked at me. She whispered something into the mic on her collar as I focused back on Claire. My eyebrows creased seeing her looking behind me with a red face as if she would burst into tears now. When I chanced a glance behind, my heart stopped beating and fear engulfed me. Bloody Murphy! What was he doing here? How did he

232Also, there's one thing I realized. She wanted this... But not with the man who cheated on her. I felt as though I was being ripped apart. I felt that it would have been better to come under a truck than be here in the car with Claire while she was cowering away from me. I can't describe how I felt as I moved away. I pulled my t-shirt back to wear it. Once it was on, I hesitated to make her look at me. Claire was staring in the space between her knees and chest as she sat with her arms locked around her knees. She was so pale that it ached to see her. The thought of touching her scared me as if I would hurt her with my touch. "What do you want me to do, Claire?" I sighed as I was totally blank.I haven't even started a day ago and it's already wearing me out. Will I ever seek her forgiveness? Seeing how she's shivering from my forced kiss, it seems like she was molested.Her pale face made me feel worse as her lips appeared swollen and assaulted. I stretched a hand out to make h
Regretting Divorce Chapter 231
231Hunter's POV"HUNTERRRRRR!" A loud shriek left Claire's mouth before she leapt towards me.Her arms curled around my neck as she tugged me back, away from the line of the truck. We missed it by a few inches. The driver yelled at me from the side mirror, calling me an idiot, before he sighed in relief.Indeed, a dangerous accident was avoided by mere inches. Thanks to my Dove.I was on the ground, ice under my back. As much as I wanted to shift away to get rid of the frosty pangs I remained stock-still. A smile crept on my lips as I wrapped my arms around Claire who was on top of me.Her head was on my shoulder as her face stayed pressed in the crook of my neck. Her heavy exhalation sent a current to my dick as it compelled me to embrace her more tightly.I'm such a dick head. My stupid attempt overwhelmed her to an extent that left her trembling intensely. Her chest heaved against mine and her sobs rang in my ear like a loud clap of thunder."Dove," I hated to interrupt this momen
Regretting Divorce Chapter 230
230Hunter's POV "I'm the one bleeding and it's your eyes that are shedding tears. Isn't it a little weird, Dove?" She froze, I saw her knuckles turn white from clenching her fingers too tight to keep her emotions in check. But she failed and it made my body hum in gratitude. It's a relief that her heart still cares even though her eyes show deep hatred. "Your curses... I've been thinking about them since you first cursed me, Dove. I won't hide how much it hurts to hear all those words. They make my heart bleed. I wonder if you are really so desperate to see my blood. But... Is this how it’ll be when I’m bleeding and suffering in torment?" I moved back so I could look at her face. My darling was glowing red. Her cute nose seemed like a cherry tomato while the rims around her eyes shimmered a pinkish red. Her wet lashes shadowed her admirable cheeks as her full lips quivered from each sob that left them. "Gosh, if this is how you're going to cry, I swear I'll throw myself under a t
Regretting Divorce Chapter 229
229Hunter's POV Pain clawed through my chest as a smile of agony unrolled on my lips. My eyes weren't moist but the bite of her words made my eyes burn. So much hatred? This should not stun me, but damn, it did. It did more than I was capable of describing it in words. I gazed at her, trying to force a smile despite the deep pain in my chest. I reached out a hand to grab hers and put it back on my bleeding forearm. "Why wait for karma to do what you can do to me now, Dove?" I guided her long nails to my skin and made her scratch me. She gave me a look with her left brow going high, "Are you challenging me? I'm not the old Claire, Hunter MacIntyre. She was easy to fool and manipulate. Don't even dare to think that the thought of hurting you would cause my mind to spin.""All I'm trying to do is bring my old Claire back..." I kept the smile which I could see was aggravating her. "And if this is the only way... Then be it." Her nails pricked my skin enough to cause a burning sensati

228Hunter's PovMy heart swelled triple of its usual size and wanting to jump from my mouth into my hand so it could show to everyone how delighted I was! Yes, my nerves were dancing in happiness and my heart was too excited to contain this happiness.Claire was sitting next to me. It was like a dream come true. That night after she heard my confession and left me alone on the dark and lonely road, I thought it was over. I thought that she wouldn't spare me a single glance after that.But yesterday when she saw me, the relief and happiness was visible in her baby blue eyes. She was soothed but her anger didn't let her show it. And that slap, I won't deny that it didn't hurt me, but that slap was a way to show that she hated me a lot. But I know my Dove. She will never hate me.She had several reasons to hate and never see me again, and all those times she came running into my arms.So she's hardly angry at me. But if I make a little effort then I'm sure the ice around her heart will
