Her throat contracted with nerves, and she felt herself drowning, choking. Tears trickled out of her eyes. The fact that Hunter was literally behaving like they were one body with two souls made her knees buckle.

She was not going to fall though. He had her tightly held after all. So tightly held as if she was his safe haven. As if she were his anchor, and god forbid if he let loose, then not only will he drown but also won't have the strength to come up on the surface as though the currents in the ocean were powerful.

Claire quietly lowered her trembling face. She caught only the sight of his ear and the skin around it. He seemed to have rested himself at peace. Fully relieved... Like there was no better place than her embrace.

She could feel his soft and unrushed breathing. The warmth of it. Her neck numbed under the warmth of his hot breaths.

She couldn't see it but she could bet that his eyes were close. He could fall asleep in that position, with her in his arms, standing

    76Hunter stared pointlessly in the air as he let Claire's words sink in.There. Is. Nothing. Between. Me. And. Tyler.She literally hissed those words out with contempt only a woman steadfast on her determination would. Not to mention Claire would never lie. She was a simple woman with a heart made of pure gold. She stated it herself already. Even if it was the best way to fuck his senses up and turn the course of his world around, she would never do it.Because she was Claire. The woman with love in her heart. The woman with deep compassion for every living creature on this earth. She didn't know how to be bad and hence she decided for his fate to punish him for his sins. For the injustice and wrongdoings he committed towards her. "Fuck!" Hunter ran a hand through his hair and stormed out of the cabin restlessly to go after her. This was punishment. Claire wanting to get away from him... This was real punishment. And it was worse than he could imagine. Even the thought of having

    77Hunter walked back to her. This time he felt her shudder when he pressed his chest into her back. Claire hugged her arms but didn't try to move away. Hunter touched her mouth to her ear, not kissing her, but not trying to move his lips away. His hands remained suspended to his sides as if he knew she was praying in her heart for him to keep his hands to himself. "I realized it that day we had our divorce. Specifically when we were handed our divorce certificates. I was looking at your face. I knew it's wrong. I didn't want to let you go." He paused, his face coming closer so his lips would touch her jaw. Again, he wasn't kissing her, just keeping his mouth in contact with her skin. Emotions choked Claire's throat. Clogged her mind as misery ran through her veins, causing her skin to turn cold like the surface of a car during tough winters. "But you still did." Claire stole his chance to speak along with his breaths as she continued, "Not only that... You also let your slút snatc

    78With heart in her throat, Claire returned back to him."What did you say?" Her body was trembling.Considering how brokenly Hunter was gazing at her, she knew he wouldn't try to hold her. So she had to take the support of a motorbike beside her to stand still."You heard me the first time I said it." He said, grazing her face longingly."And how do you know that?""Maury told me."Claire squinted her eyes in doubt, "And how did you get acquainted with Maury?""I had him picked up from the club along with his two men. He confessed it in my custody."He said without remorse. But the darkness clouding in his eyes provided her answers of questions which wouldn't have come to the surface had he not revealed what he said previously."You followed me into the club?" She cringed."After I was told how dangerous the man and the place is.""So you accept that you've been stalking me."Hunter's jaw tightened, he gave her a look that made shivers erupt within her, "It's not wrong to protect th

    79The cab stopped in front of black iron gates guarding a big villa. Mr. And Mrs. Murphy stayed here with their younger son. Although Claire wasn't sure, she guessed this is where Typer may stop by while he was here for work. That's if he was really here for work. The guard opened the small gate carved into the left huge gate for her. He didn't ask her who she was and why she was there since this was not the first time. She came here earlier to drop her brother at Shawn's. Everyone working on this estate knew her well. Hence, she made her ways inside the villa without so much as waiting to ask for permission. She was moving so confidently that she wasn't anxious of encountering Tia Murphy either. Claire came to the living room where Shawn was sitting with his mother. He was busy on his tab while his mother was knitting something like a baby sweater. For who it was Claire didn't bother as she knew the woman was a social butterfly with an army of friends. She went to kitty parties mor

    80Back in the hospital,After Claire left, Zara took the elevator back to her floor. She walked with blood now soaking her gown till her knees. The wound no longer hurt. The pain no longer made her dizzy because her entire body was numb in anger and annoyance.The streams of tears remained on both her cheeks, her skin blanched, and the touch of innocence she carried on her face was replaced with fury a mad witch would have for losing the potion that keeps her young. "How could he? How dare he?" were the only words Zara continuously chanted as her memory burned with the images of Hunter smiling lovingly at Claire's retreating figure.The man looked infatuated. He was completely in Claire's grip. Love dripped from his dark eyes. Though there was no mark of brand on his body, should someone ask him who he belonged to then it would be Claire's name he'd take.In her angry state, Zara came to Enzo's room which was also on the same floor. Hunter had booked the entire floor for her, and sin

    81Enzo was counting seconds. He had accepted that this was his end. This day was the last day of his life. He wished he had touched Zara better, and kissed her more passionately. That would have at least helped him die without remorse. Alas, he was going to lose his head for doing nothing... Yet doing everything to his boss' woman. As for Zara, she showed patience. She didn't jump to the conclusion that this was her last day. Rather she encouraged herself to get ready for a blissful life that was coming ahead after Claire's death. She believed in her luck, and her brilliant acting, as she ran towards Hunter while sobbing hard as if she was denied oxygen for a while. "Hunter, I'm glad you came!" Zara got out of Enzo's hold before their position made his mind jump onto any conclusion. She turned completely towards Hunter and made a run for him. Her colorless face and the tears in her eyes had distracted him already. Then whatever suspicion he may have developed subsided as he saw t

    82Claire darted straight towards her room after coming back home. She removed her clothes near the bed and slipped under a hot shower. The tears coming out of her eyes battled with the heat she was feeling on her body from the contact of water. She pressed her hair back and took a deep breath. Her heart wasn't in any mood to calm down nor her body which was trembling from all the emotions coming on the surface. "Both of them are the same... Sick bastards!" She muttered before turning the water cold. Claire spent some time under the spray of cold water as her nerves relaxed. Crying also helped make her chest light and feel fresh. When she came out of the room in a robe, with her hair in a knot, Penny was sitting on her bed with her phone. She sensed Claire's presence and looked up with a smile. However, the smile died the minute she appraised Claire's red-rimmed eyes. "You cried in the shower, didn't you? That is why it took you twenty minutes." Penny dropped her phone on the mat

    83"I so wanted to spend the night in your room and talk more, Claire. But the medicines are making me sleepy. We'll continue tomorrow." Penny offered an apologetic grin as she jumped down the window sill. "Take care of your hand. Don't sleep like a horse." Claire chuckled as she watched her friend sleepily strut out of her room. Once she was gone, Claire craned her neck to look outside. The sky was pitch black and gray clouds floating lazily. The air was too much to handle though she was wearing warm pajamas with a thick woolen cardigan over a full-sleeved top. It felt like ice knives on her skin. Claire rubbed her forearms, a small smile tucking at the corner of her lips as she noticed the drizzling drops. Under the lights radiating alongside the fence, she caught the sight of scattered rain drops. It was worth capturing on her phone. And also, she thought, it was time to slowly return to social media to rebuild her fan base. She would need it once her company was ready and she h

    281Although Dominic had been reluctant in the beginning, he told his wife that Hunter had called him a while before the dinner. He wanted to come to their mansion for some reason. Dominic revealed that Hunter prepared some kind of gift for their daughter, and needed his help to execute it. His request was to dim down the lights of the lamps around their garden so Hunter could have a dark set-up. And then the next thing that happened was that they heard commotion outside their window. Since their room was on the ground floor, they heard and saw everything. Hunter was in the garden, and he wasn't alone. His guards were there to help him whatever he planned to do for Claire. Dominic and Andrea also read the messages on the cardboards that Hunter held. One can say that Hunter's surprise proposal wasn't really a secret. His In-laws— correction, his ex-in-laws, who were about to become his in-laws again, had front-row seats to the whole thing.They read every message, saw every express

    280"I know I was once the person Scott wanted to be like. But after what I did to you, his sister, he's lost all respect for me. I know he wouldn't hesitate to stab me the second he gets the opportunity." Hunter paused. "I don't consider that wrong because what I've done is enough reason for someone to put a blade through my heart.""Hunter!" Claire glared at him, but obviously it was so dark that he couldn't see it. But her hold around his neck, it indicated that she was disappointed. "I'm telling the truth, Claire. What do you think? That I'm only committing my mistakes in front of you. If that's what you think then you don't know me at all." The determination in his voice steeled her spine. "Fixing things with you was my first step toward fixing everything I destroyed." "Your forgiveness meant everything because if you could forgive me, then maybe the others would too. My goal is to make things right with everyone in your family, especially Scott."Claire's jaw unhinged. She was

    279"Really?" He sounded playful.Claire hummed near his face and cupped his jaw, "I adore how you tackle challenges head-on and always come out on top." She paused, pecked him on the lips and added, "For me, you're a true champion and that's what captivated my heart.""You think too highly of me.""I just know that you're very skillful and...""And?" Hunter leaned in closer, depositing all his wait on her.Claire's lips tugged at the corners. An idea struck and she pushed him away. Hunter frowned at the loss of contact. But the push stirred his thoughts awake and he realized he was here on a mission. "You didn't answer my question!""What question?" Claire asked playfully."About being my girlfriend.""I'll think about it." She got out of his hold as she stifled her laughs.It was dark so she couldn't see his expression. But from what she knew about him, she knew he was boiling on the inside. Despite being one of the most successful men, he was grumpy and had very little to no pati

  • Regretting Divorce   Chapter 278

    278Claire wasn't happy. Hunter did make mistakes, but that didn't make him a loser. A loser would never accept his mistake. A loser always avoids it and often others have to guilt-trip him to take responsibility for his actions. That, or he's blamed until he's forced to accept his mistakes. However, he would never willingly own up to them. Claire had a big lecture to give to him on this topic. She showed a phone sign with her finger as she put it near her ear, indicating that she was going to call him. But Hunter quickly shook his head and motioned down at the cardboard. Not many were left and Claire decided to stay. She probably read the worst ones, she deemed, as she folded her hands and waited for him to reveal the new messages. It read: On the other hand, you're so charming, honest, kind and considerate. Another one said: I'm nothing in front of you. Another one: Everyone loves you for who you are. As for me... He sighed self-loathingly as he revealed a new card: They can'

    277Claire took a deep breath as she lifted her upper body by the midriff and took a glance towards the window. The curtains were drawn and a soft breeze was billowing it. Her heart pounded loudly as her face began to heat up.The sadness she was drowning in earlier got replaced by excitement and an utter sense of delight. Her body was alight with all sorts of gleeful emotions. She nervously swallowed as her nerves were getting the better of her. With slow and unrushed movements, Claire lifted the blanket from her body and rolled out of the bed. She took baby steps towards the window because the thrill of going there made her body jittery. The distance suddenly seemed too long.But when she reached there and drew the curtains apart and looked down— it was worth it!Her lips curled up and her cheeks numbed from all the heat she was feeling in her face. Claire was filled with uncontainable joy because HUNTER WAS STANDING DOWN THERE, outside her window.He waved a hand at her as his mout

    276Claire shut the door with a bang and threw herself on bed, pulling the blanket over her. Her chest ached from trying to control her sobbing while her eyes flashed with the images of Scott's disgusted expressions. The pain she felt was unimaginable.They hurt more because they came from her only sibling— her protective sibling who had promised to burn the world to make her happy.She recalled Scott's desperation from months ago when she had discovered that she was pregnant. He was willing to give her baby the love of a father and take care of her the way she deserved as a pregnant lady. He never left her alone, always lingering around as if it was his responsibility to make sure she and the baby were fine.But the bitter words he said today, the anger he showed... It made her heart shatter into pieces.Claire covered her mouth to suppress her sobs. For her, it was a wonderful day today. She felt amazing when she shared her feelings with Hunter. She was thrilled beyond explanation w

    275The way he spoke with authority made Claire's jaw tighten. It was as if he were the older sibling and she the younger one— not the other way around."Let go of my hand, Scott! I'm not in the mood to talk." Claire eyed him sternly. "Then make your mood, Claire. Because I'm not letting you go until we finish this conversation." Scott shrugged his shoulders uncaringly. He held her hand tightly and gave her a challenging look, making her seethe. "Stop being annoying, Scott. Let go." "Answer my questions first. Was Penny the only company you had or was there someone else too?" "You know the answer then why are you asking me!" Claire pulled her hand away. "I knew it! And I'm ashamed to call you my sister." Scott sniggered, making her eyes freeze in shock. Mr. Argent banged his hands on the table before he rose to his feet, "What the hell is going on here? What's with your attitude today, Scott. How dare you talk to your sister like that?" "Just the same way she dared to soil our

    274Claire came home with bright pink cheeks and a smile that made her mother stop her in the main hall. She circled her while her curious eyes tried to find out the cause behind that blush."You are blushing, Claire." Andrea prodded a finger in her cheek."Am I? That's probably the heat of the day, mom. You see, it's so.... Dark outside like it's going to rain." Claire's voice lessened over the last sentence as she gazed out the huge sliding doors that led to the garden outside.The sky was gray and heavy and angry black clouds floated in it. She bit her lips embarrassed as she wondered what excuse to make to avoid her mom.Andrea laughed, "Oh, Claire, you're so transparent. It has nothing to do with the weather. You're thinking about him, aren't you?" "W-who?" "Don't play dumb, sweetie. I know exactly who I'm talking about." She paused for dramatic effect. "Tyler." Claire's jaw dropped. She stared at her mother as her heart pounded in her chest. She wondered why she was talking ab

    273Hunter's POV She stopped just a hand's distance away and blinked her doey eyes at me, "I know we've been through so much, and our past is complicated. But I don't want to rush into anything this time. I want to love the good part we missed before. I want us to take our time, to enjoy each other's company, to fall in love all over again. I want you to make me feel special.""I want our second chance to be different. I want it to be about us, about our love, about our connection. I want it to be real, and true, and raw. I want us to be vulnerable, to be open, to be honest with each other. I want this time to be our time. Our time to love, to laugh, to live. Our time to be us." Her lips trembled. She was having a war with herself whether to tell it to me or not. She chose to do it anyway and risk it all... Because, by sharing her feelings with me, she was exposing how desperately she wanted me. "I want us to create new memories, to make new mistakes, to learn from each other all ov
