The 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

Oh gosh! Tyler twisted our minds with his confession, didn't he? Some people didn't like the earlier few chapters. They thought the story was showing all the men wrong and only Hunter the right one for her! I hope this chapter proved you wrong & you'll continue reading;) I promise I have no intention to make him the negative character. But don't know about Hunter and his wretched ways *winks* Plz leave your comments and reviews if you haven't yet. Next chapter is better than this one;) So we have a target: 6 comments.

Team 3rd cause they both suck. For them to be these brilliant billionaires they blindly trust ppl like Zara and Pavel way too easily not even checking backgrounds or investing character. Big flaw for both and I know it's plot padding to keep the story going but it's not making them good candidates

Hunter do not deserve a second chance. His behaviour doesnt show his love for Claire or that he is sorry for what he did to her. He just wants to possess her.

    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

    84She stopped just before she was about to hit send. And she stopped because it struck her that the view she devoured from the balcony attached with their bedroom, and the associated caption, wasn't the first time he texted her.In fact, there were more. More words he typed than he had ever told her in one day during their two years long marriage. Words that screamed emotions. Her heart thundered away in her chest, challenging the ones unfolding in the sky above. Hunter: Hey wifeyClaire's eyes frosted upon the first text he sent as the warmth began to leave her body and ice settled in. 'I'm not your wife.' She corrected it in her mind as she read further. Hunter: I know you are mad and you have every right to be. But can you plz listen to me? Don't reply if you don't want to. Justlet me convey what I feel for you.Hunter: And before I say it let me request you to not even think of blocking my number. I will keep buying new numbers to call you or simply make my tech guy unblock

    85His eyes froze on her face. Was she the woman he spent two years with in their marital home? Claire MacIntyre, the woman that was his wife, never raised her voice on him. Talk less of talking like a woman full of venom. To say, she was not even sparing him a glance. His nerves pinched and his chest grew hollow. The heart he had developed after realizing her love was dying a slow death. "Giving up so easily? She's hardly cold whereas you have been everything a woman wouldn't want her husband to be." A tiny voice spoke in his mind. It rejuvenated his spirits and Hunter gave her a tender smile. His face was illuminated and it made her stomach do a somersault. She kept her hard face intact as Hunter wiggled his eyebrows. "I know in your chest is a heart that beats only for me. That being said, your hard looks won't do me any harm. If anything, it only makes me want to do everything impossible for you. Like plucking the brightest stars for you and adorn them on your head." Claire cr

    86Hunter came to the hospital with fury vibrating through his veins. He was unhappy that he had to leave Claire at the last minute. She seemed placated and willing to agree to his request. The 'yes' he desired was on the tip of her tongue.The phone call, though, the damned phone call had to come at the wrong time.He remembered Reggie, the chief of his seven bodyguards, who was left with the other three calling him. His voice was strung out and shallow on the call."Sir, Zara woke up screaming in the middle of the night last night. I didn't inform you earlier because you asked me not to disturb you before you left the hospital.""But sir, she's having undefined panic attacks and the doctors are unable to calm her. She refuses to take medicines, both tablets and liquid, and is requesting for you. She's violent with the nurses.""She's making claims of seeing someone in her room again. We checked thoroughly and found no one around." It was after this info that he spoke about hallucinat

    87"Nobody said you are not telling the truth. It was probably the image conjured by your mind under the effects of medicines. But Zara," Hunter turned to her. "You must cooperate with doctors from now on.""I am a busy man. I didn't become a billionaire whilst running around to deal with a close friend admitted in hospital. I attended tiresome meetings scheduled one after another for days to reach where I'm sitting today. You were with me when I was climbing the ladders up. It took years to become who I am. I cannot ignore my work and come here to deal with you at any time you want. Please be considerate and spare me the exhaustion." Zara's mouth could touch her lap if she tried it.Hunter's straightforwardness had left her speechless and with an expression that amused the women around her. Also.... What's with him referring to her as just 'a close friend'? She wasn't his friend, damn it. She had enjoyed being the love of his life. 'That is what I will become again in a few days fr

    254Two days later,"Do you really think this suits me? I... Don't really like the... Color! It looks dull on me." Her voice wavered with doubt as she peered at herself in the mirror."You are looking like a glass of hot chocolate! Trust me, every other woman at the party is going to be jealous of you, Claire. Just choose this dress!" Yara exclaimed with glimmering eyes. The girls have come to a mall to buy dresses for themselves for an informal party organized by Prince Rashid. Although the official gathering to introduce projects was postponed to the end of this month, he expressed his desire to meet and greet everyone in person to know everyone better before getting down to the real business. He was being charitable too given he sent out gift cards and opportunities to women to shop from famous brands for the party. The men were sent tailored suits to choose from, and the party was held at the biggest banquet hall in Bloomcrest— White Pearl. It was not usually available for book

    253Rashid stood beside his wife as he smiled at Hunter. A hand going around Kareena, he kissed her hair and admired his daughter giggling in his friend's arms. While Hunter was fidgeting with her, she seemed happy. "Her name is Nour, the light of our eyes." Rashid said. Hunter's body was alight with emotions that brought tears to his eyes. A baby... He was holding a baby! The feeling of having a bundle of joy in arms, at first, brought sadness and a reminder of the baby he and Claire lost. Wouldn't he have been this big— in Claire's belly? As he looked at Nour, the feelings in his heart were replaced with happiness and warmth. He forgot about his grief and hesitantly lifted a finger to caress her chubby cheek. "Hey, baby." Hunter whispered and Nour gave out a squeal of joy at him. "She's only that happy around her father, Hunter. She cries in other men's arms. But it looks like she likes you." Kareena stated as she came closer to touch the head of her daughter. The minute she

    252That look wasn't made up. She was as shocked as Kent was."Don't tell me you didn't know?" Claire responded with a nod. "Well, I thought you knew about it. All of us know that he's friends with your ex-husband since we agreed to work for you."Claire was at a loss for words. She blankly stared at the screen, and on it, she could actually see Hunter winking at her instead of Kent. She also saw him wiggling his eyebrows at her and saying: You didn't expect that, did you? But baby, your man is a big shot.After shaking off that image, she blinked her lashes. Kent saw it and chuckled. "Don't worry. I've got your back. I'll be right by your side at all times!"They hung up soon after that. She put the laptop away and stretched on the recliner, staring up at the ceiling. It was still unbelievable for her. "How didn't I see it coming? I wouldn’t be surprised if Hunter got his Arab friend to put up a facade to help him." Claire's heart slithered. "But... Hunter doesn't know I used to

    251“Because I know, once we land, you will torture me to death but you won't show me your face. So..." He breathed audibly, making her heart stutter."So?""So... soaking in the sight of you while I can."Claire wanted to scoff at him for sounding so cheesy. But she couldn't. His gaze was intense and the veins around his neck distracted her.Had they not been entangled in personal issues so deeply, she would have thrown her arms around his neck and pulled him to kiss her."Just go and sit!" Claire said instead as she averted her gaze.The curtains were drawn away from the window, revealing a paradisical view of the sun's rays spreading out into the clouds. The sky was painted with hues of morning and Claire was in awe.She put a hand on the window and stared out, completely taken aback.Although this wasn't the first time she was seeing a sunrise, this was definitely the first time she was seeing it while being amidst the clouds.... It was ethereal."This is how the rays of your smil

    250The time in the plane was quiet and pressing down on Claire. She felt like an idiot. She went with Hunter like he had a right to take her out of the old Murphy Mansion. The feeling in itself was aggravating. She kept wondering why she gave Hunter the right to order her around! They weren't married. He had no right to take her back to Bloomcrest in his private jet! Traveling with him made her feel like she was still his wife when she was not.Claire avoided his attempts to talk to her. She refused to look at him when they took off. Hunter didn't give up, though. He persistently whispered apologies, assurances, promises in her ear. He even tried to hold her hand which she slapped away.When they were in the air and free to unfasten the seat belt, Claire couldn't be any more grateful. She quickly peeled out of the seat from next to Hunter and dashed to the loo.Her face was hot and red. The glistening tears she noticed in her eyes in the reflection mocked her."What am I doing? The

Cole is not a toddler and he sure as hell is doing better in his life compared to you.""You.... How dare you talk to me like that?" Tia clutched Penny's front of the shirt."I dare to talk to you like that because you dared to insult my boyfriend. He's the best man to walk on earth— unlike you, an abhorrent old hag who knows nothing better than to interfere in his grown up son's life." Penny howled before thrusting Tia's hand away.It took everything in her not to push her back, after all she was still her mother's age. But that didn't stop her from verbally lashing her."Mothers like you are the reason why children want to try the most extreme things in life like drugs and unprotected séx. They feel burdened under your control

    248Tyler snickered hatefully. He was nauseated at his mother's mentality. Logic seemed to have deserted her long back.“See me dare, mom.” He challenged her with a raised eyebrow.“Come back here, Tyler. This conversation is not over. You can't bring just any woman to our family. I won't approve of it. I won't let you make any random, undeserving woman my daughter-in-law. You won't….”Her words faded out as Tyler left her in his bedroom and came out. He felt tired, his back sticky with sweat. He needed fresh air.He was hoping to go out in the garden— but in the main hall he found another shock of his life in the form of Penny and Cole.'What the hell are they doing here now?' Tyler hissed.They were sitting on the couch with Grandma Avery. Cole was usually smiling

    247Tyler felt oddly satisfied, seeing the car occupying Hunter and Claire disappear into the darkness. A faint smile flickered on his lips. He stood by the window with folded hands, eyes staring at where the car was mounting a few seconds ago as he praised Hunter's good luck.He finally managed to take Claire back with him. It wouldn't be long before he was able to bring her back home as his wife. He had that fire in his chest that would be enough to melt the ice caging Claire's heart that already belonged to him. 'If you keep working so dedicatedly, MacIntyre, you will have her in your life before the end of this year.' He smiled again. The next second, nevertheless, his face hardened as his eyes glimmered darkly. Tyler turned around and his jaw clenched. His eyes narrowed and he shook his head in disapproval."What you did out there wasn't commendable, mom? You could have seriously harmed her."Tia, who had been carelessly filing her nails sitting on the couch in the corner of th

    246For Claire, it was a harrowing fifteen minutes of her life. Even the doctor seemed troubled at Hunter's show of coldness."There, it's done. I'll write you down painkillers and healing cream you would require once—""No need, thank you very much."The doctor's jaw hung in daze, "Very well. However, you would still need to take some precautions like protecting your stitches from water and stuff like that for the first few days. Because, Mr. MacIntyre, you're known for your stubbornness…. I'll send you the link to an article I wrote on my blog. Do read it."After he left, Hunter flattened his back on the mattress, his legs still on the ground. He was gazing at his dressed hand when Claire threw a hair brush at him that hit him on the mouth, but not hard enough to split open his skin."What's making you crazy now?" Hunter raised an eyebrow, feigning oblivion."What were you trying to show by doing that?""Nothing." He lifted a shoulder. "But look, my wedding ring is still shining thr
