"Yes," Claire answered with a grin that was neither relieving nor soft to the eyes.

With trembling hands Penelope passed her phone to her and watched as she searched for Daniel Calvart, Hunter's lawyer's number.

Both of them were caught by surprise when her phone blared loudly. For a moment Penelope lost her breaths as she thought it was Dominic, Claire's father. She couldn't afford to have him call his daughter now as she had lied to him that they were in Claire's house for a few days.

She had assured him that when he saw his daughter next, it would be accompanied with good news of her leaving her heartless husband.

Whatever had transpired with Claire was known by very few people. Nobody from Claire's family knew about her condition. About her being in hospital for being neglected by her husband and torturing herself with starvation.

"Monty? Who's that?" Penelope asked as she read the name of the caller.

"That's my detective friend from school." Claire answered as she thought it wa

  • Regretting Divorce   Chapter 330

    330Hunter's POV"His head can fucking explode and his brains can spill around like confetti for all I care!" Tia yelled on top of her annoying voice. "He can even die of overdose. What I care about is my son's reputation and wellbeing. He can't just get up and blame the first person he saw."She seethed, “He’s the kind of person who can never be grateful. My son went out of the way to help him despite their indifference but what did he give him in return? A trip to the jail. Such people are better off dead?”“Why did you save him, huh?” Tia snapped at the doctors."Now there, Mrs. Murphy, you're crossing your line." Claire took a step forward as her voice raised. "I'm being polite and everyone here is listening to your bullshít doesn't mean we're scared of you. We're hardly respecting you for Tyler's sake, alright!"

  • Regretting Divorce   Chapter 329

    329Hunter's POVI was utterly scared and insecure at the party when I saw Claire in Tyler's arms. They were very close and he was whispering something to her, making her blush and chuckle. It had made me hold my breaths because it really felt like they would end up kissing.But my body reacted before that. I charged towards them and yanked my Dove out of his arms, and despite her protests, I danced with her.I would never forget the disgust I noticed in her eyes on that night. She had pushed me away like I had skin cancer. What she had screamed afterwards had stunned me. I was really hoping for the heavens to fall apart and collapse on me. I wanted to be dead before I heard that.I don't think anyone's prayer is heard as instantaneously as mine did... Because the very next second, I had felt it— the ache that numbed my mind and made me feel like my head w

  • Regretting Divorce   Chapter 328

    328Claire's POVMy nerves convulsed as Scott came closer, that dark smirk was all that I could see. Rest everything had blurred out.He stopped before me and crouched down to the level of my face. His eyes bore into mine as he wiggled his eyebrows."You caught me, sister! I thought I wouldn't be caught anytime soon. But you're so clever and observant. You looked through me." He smirked harder and I pushed him back."I'm not in the mood to joke, Scott. Tell me honestly. Are you behind the attack?" I was breathing heavily. My heart was torn between my love for Hunter and my brother. What if he really did it? What will I do? Who will I support? It's the man I love on one hand and my brother on another. Though both of them have been getting on my nerves lately, I know they love me.They would expect me to choose either of themselves and I don't think I can make this choice. "Scott, be honest with me. Please." My voice shook as I said please.Scott's face hardened. A grim look took ove

  • Regretting Divorce   Chapter 327

    327Claire's POV I came home with my mom. My goal was clear, I had to get home and make a nice and thin soup for Hunter. I know IV fluids are the best for him now, but I couldn't ignore the aching in my body. The ache that compelled me to take care of him. I wanted him to eat something made by me because I believed something made by me will make him feel better and recover sooner. I was on my way to the kitchen when my mom coughed. I turned around to look at her and I didn't like how helplessly she was staring at me. She gave me a once over and instantly I inferred what she wanted me to do. "I won't stop you from doing whatever you want to do in the kitchen but at least take a bath. You look awful." That's after she said that I noticed the smell oozing off me. The smell of tablets, sanitizer and what not. It made me want to throw out.I darted up the stairs at once and dropped my dress on the floor in the bathroom. The bathtub was filled with warm water and my favorite cocoa butte

  • Regretting Divorce   Chapter 326

    326Claire's shoulders stiffened as she shifted into a serious gear. The only reason she decided to stay back was this— She wanted to know who he suspected. She watched as Hunter's eyes lingered on everyone 's faces. They lingered far too long on hers, causing her hands to ball in tight fists. He didn't suspect her, did he? "I don't mind them being here. What is it that you want to know, officer? Though I believe you might have looked through the footage well enough in the past four days." He said without taking his eyes off her. Claire quickly looked down. Her hunger-weakened body buzzed with feelings she shouldn't feel right now. Her stomach clenched and her face heated up. Such was Hunter's effect on her. She felt relief settle in her chest. He was alive. He was breathing. He was pinning her with that sultry, predatory gaze that was his iconic, trademark, I-am-the-Hunter-MacIntyre gaze. "We did and it's unfortunate that we couldn't find any clue, which brought us here. We would

    3252 days later,"Dove, it's been three days. Don't go home if you don't want to. None of us will force you to change your clothes either. But please, eat something. It's been four days today." Andrea cried as she squeezed Claire's hand.Today marked the fourth day, including the day of the party, since Hunter was shot and brought to hospital. He hasn't yet gained his senses, and no matter how many times Cole, Rashid or anyone asked about it, the doctor's answer remained the same and repetitive.“As we've mentioned before, we've done everything within our capacity. Now it's a matter of time. His body will regain consciousness when it's ready. He’s getting every dose of his medication on time… so now all we can do is wait and hope.”Those words whirled in her mind. Claire's resolve was crumbling along with her strength.
