But seeing that her father was waiting for her, Claire ran to him. She snaked his waist by her arms and hugged him.

"You didn't have to wait, dad. I would have managed."

Mr. Argent caressed her hair, "It's a proud moment for a father to go back home with his daughter from the safe office building."

Claire was flattered by his words. He hugged her again before they entered his car. The driver took the rear exit. It was not a surprise that cameramen and reporters crowded outside there too, but it wasn't as much as in the front.

When they were happily out on the road, Dominic added, "You have no idea how much my employees admire you. Whenever I go out of my office to take a stroll, I hear them whispering about you."

Claire suddenly grew nervous. She knew they whispered about her. Dominic saw through her emotions and pulled her in his arms.

"And I've only heard good things, darling." He kissed on the top of her head. "Even today, they were talking about your endurance and how you

    183"Sir is..." Reggie trailed off, making her breaths hitch. "Fine, although we are trying to get him out of his bedroom. He hasn't stepped out since that night." Claire's chest shivered. She pressed lips to suppress a cry of worry as she told Reggie, "Please, get him to switch his phone on. Maybe I can help a little." "I'm afraid I can't do that even if I want to. He has broken his phone and a lot of things in his bedroom." "I hope he's fine." Claire gasped while raising a hand to place it on her chest. "I can't comment on that, madam." Claire's heart throbbed in her ears. She was freaking out like she hasn't ever before. "Is he... Is he injured?" She pressed a hand to her mouth. "Umm..." Reggie took his time. "I would be in trouble if I told you this, but I would feel worse if I didn't, madam. Sir rendered deep cuts on his right hand from smashing a glass in a tight grip. He muttered that it was his punishment for slapping you."That disclosure sliced through her heart like

    184Tyler's mouth dropped as he gaped at her saying those words. "Good friends? I never said we could not be good friends. But even to be friends, you have to communicate. But you didn't, Claire. You left me hanging like it didn't matter." "I..." She stared at him in disbelief. "I seriously don't know what you're saying, Tyler. When did I not communicate?" "You know exactly what I'm talking about, Claire. The flowers, the message, my feelings... complete radio silence." He stepped closer. Claire shifted away uncomfortably, "I really don't know what you're saying. I really don't. What flowers?" "WHAT FLOWERS?" He laughed frustratedly. "Are you joking with me? You can't really forget it. I sent you fucking flowers with a note in it, Claire. It was on the very day I told you that I like you. Do you remember anything?" Claire reeled back to that day. She had been shaken to her core when he said he liked her. Tyler had come to her life like a creak providing light in a closed dark ca

    185Claire's heart stopped beating as everything around her began to throb. The corner of her eyes pained and blurred out her peripheral vision. It was as if all her focus was directed to the man in the center of her vision and white blinking dots squirmed on the corner. "You are joking with me, right?" Her tone was bled dry of emotions, her baritone hoarse like she would cry any moment now. However, Tyler's serious face and how still he was sitting, looking at her reaction to the news suggested that he wasn't. He wouldn't joke with her about such a sensitive topic. Ezma had been everything to him. His first love. He was still stuck on her, and definitely, he wouldn't joke like this and humiliate himself as well. "T-this can't... This... I..." Claire couldn't form a comprehensible sentence as her lungs were aching for oxygen.She felt her fingers turning cold and the tips burned like she dipped them in ice. The back of her neck pricked with a stinging sensation while her forehead b

    186"There comes my hero! You're just in time, Tye. I was about to serve lasagna to everyone." Tia Murphy glowed joyfully upon seeing her son. She came over to him and hugged him. Tyler hugged back with a sigh and a small smile. His mother was a little... Overbearing. But she loved him like her precious diamonds. He chuckled because his comparison was inaccurate. Tia loved him more than diamonds. He knew that because once he and Shawn pulled a prank on her. It was around the time when he was a teenager and Shawn was younger. They fake called her as a kidnapper and lied that Tyler was taken down. The price for saving his life was in billions. She hadn't hesitated to sell her diamonds worth billions. It was intimated to them by their father, who was involved in the prank with the boys. He was at the house with his wife when the call came. John Murphy had witnessed her cry and sob as she frantically stuffed her jewelry in a bag to take them to sell. He had been amused too, because he k

    187"Tye! Are you okay, sweetheart?" Tia rose from the corner of the couch and hurried at Tyler who was choking on his food."Here, drink water." Tia helped him take gulps of water as she rubbed his back.While she attended to Tyler, Shawn covered his mouth to hide his laugh."What the hell did you do to my baby, you little demon?" Tia scolded Shawn."I didn't do anything. Ask your twenty-nine year old baby if you don't believe me... Which I know you don't!" Shawn made a face.Tia was about to give him a piece of her mind when Tyler held her hand. “I'm fine, mom.” He kissed her knuckles and coaxed her to go back to her place. “You were leaving, weren't you? Why are you sitting here still? Go join the dirty bikers club and soil our name.” Tia glared at her younger one. Shawn rolled his eyes, “I changed my mind, mom. My brother can't carry the burden of our business alone on his shoulders. I'm staying back so I can help him carry the load.”“You will join the business only when you'r

    188Tyler spent the night battling with himself. He was amused by the disclosure his brother made regarding Mr. Argent's impression of him. It was... A nice thing to hear.He was described as a playboy on the internet as his PR kept releasing false dating rumors. A few days before he arrived at Bloomcrest, his PR created a controversy featuring him. Despite all that Mr. Argent considered him suitable for his gorgeous daughter. Claire was an epitome of elegance and happiness. She could get any man. Why him? His head ached thinking about it all night. The next morning when he came down to the breakfast table, Tia was absent. "Your mother had a morning yoga class." His father informed, making him exhale in relief. Tyler joined him for breakfast. His father was constantly gazing at him while he pretended to read a report on his tablet. He randomly swiped his finger on the screen, his eyes mindlessly staring at it. He was giving a commendable show of being busy. "You don't have to pret

    189In the afternoon, Argent Mansion, "Claire, baby, should I bring your lunch to your room?" Claire stared at the door with puffy red eyes as she breathed noisily. She was in a chaotic state with hair in disarray, her lipstick smudged around her lips, her mascara running with tears, and her lips quivering as she attempted to keep her sobs in. She was not in the mindset to reply to her mother. But she couldn't keep her waiting either. Hence, gathering some strength, she answered, "I'm not hungry, mom." She hated how her voice sounded. It was raspy and bled with pain. "What do you mean you're not hungry? You didn't come down for dinner last night. Then you also skipped breakfast. Your father was worried, Laire. He had an important meeting to attend, otherwise he was going to come to see you." Her mother spoke worried from the other side of the door. She came several times since morning, and even yesterday to call her for dinner. Her mother knew she was suffering, but she couldn'

She was about to close the app when a certain thread of comments caught her eyes. They spoke exactly what she had in mind. Reply: "What about Hunter? Where is he?" Reply: "Exactly! I'm sure he has realized he fúcked up. What now? Is he going back to Claire to apologize?"Reply: "He should! Even if he goes on his knees, it'll not be enough. Claire lost so much because of him."Reply: "God! So happy to see someone speaking my mind out. I want them together again, please!"Reply: "Claire's a gem. She's the real MVP, holding her head high despite everything. Let Hunter go crawling to her. But don't take him back, girl!" Reply: "Noo! Go away, hater! Claire and Hunter should be endgame. Don't you see it? When she loved him, he didn't. Now I hope the distance made his heart beat for her. I want to see them together... And maybe Zara's interference made him fall

    240Bloomcrest,Cole scratched his head angrily as he blew out a breath."What the hell are these two up to? When did they go to RavenMoore?"He had his laptop in his lap, sitting in his apartment. He hadn't been able to connect with Hunter since that night he came back home to tell him that he made a huge mess. Cole was maddened that night. How could Hunter be so stupid?No guy in his sane mind would tell his woman about the times he tried to cheat on her. To say Hunter broke it on her when she was at her lowest point mentally. Claire's reaction was natural. In fact, she was very soft and leniently handling him.... At least, that's what it seemed unless he saw the images of her and Tyler kissing each other while Hunter was sitting on his knees in front of them. Claire was taking her revenge with a fervor. "Damn, this is not good. Claire is ruining her reputation because of this idiot!" Cole shook his head. He searched in depth and his jaw unhinged in a moment of disbelief. "Is th

    239"Oh my..." Claire's mouth slackened as her eyes widened in pure shock.Her feed was full of posts worshipping Hunter and his attempt to apologize to her at the tourist spot. Fan edits were mind boggling. They made a crown on his head and captioned the picture with cheesy lines and dialogues from novels and series like he wasn't sitting on his knees apologizing to his ex-wife for cheating on her. They made it seem like he was saving the world by going on his knees.The more she scrolled, the more astonishing the edits became.Claire didn't even try to go near the comments section. Almost every second post was stuffed with thousands of comments. Had Hunter not been a celebrity billionaire, she would have assumed it was his PR doing this thing to elevate in the eyes of the society.But Hunter needed no such thing. People liked him for being himself, and Claire was aware that the only time he required his PR was to help him remove unnecessary rumors surrounding him for no reason.Whil

  • Regretting Divorce   Chapter 238

    238Claire was unable to breath. Her skin was burning even though he wasn't touching her anywhere. Her brows furrowed. He. Wasn't. Touching. Her. Why? She gazed in his eyes and saw the answer. He was hurt. He. Was. Hurt. His hands trembled at his sides. Hunter had never wanted anything more than to touch her after he realized he loved her. However, last night was painful. He counted hours, his ears on high alert, hoping to hear any sound coming from her room. But all he heard was Tyler leave— three hours later. Hunter's teeth clenched recalling Tyler Murphy's parting remark. "It was fun, Claire! We should do it often."It's not like Hunter didn't know what they were doing, but Tyler making it obvious through his remark exhausted his remaining battery percent on love meter that he was left with. The somberness whipped into his features was the outcome of exhaustion he suffered last night. "We can continue this game in our country and I have a feeling you have a lot to catch up wi

    237There was slight fog outside the window when Claire opened her eyes in the morning. She felt goosebumps on her bare arms and her feet stung the moment she put them on the floor. There was no sun out and the sky was gloomy just like her thoughts. Claire hugged her arms and let out a sigh. Her temples were throbbing. She hadn't gotten the best of sleep last night. Her mind was occupied by the event of the afternoon, Hunter's images making her mind numb. She cried even on her pillow after Tyler left. His company was soothing. He made her feel better, but when he stepped out of her room, the air had become tense and stuffy again. She spent most of the hours twisting from one side to another. She recalled it was during the lift of darkness when she drifted off to sleep. Claire looked at the clock on the wall. Not much time has passed since she slept. Just two hours. She was gazing out when something crept within her, making her lean on the sill of the window and look out to her righ

    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 take

    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 from

    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 medita

    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
