Chantinglove138I like to see Hunter struggling to get her attention. Isn't this justified? His few days of struggle against the decade of her life. Also Fam, I want to apologize for delayed chapters. Writer's block is restraining my writing. I write one para and then I'm blank. Really battling to get words out on the doc:') Hope you are with me and support my efforts.

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

88"Claire will not be happy about this." Penelope got out of the cab in front of the hospital and stared at it hesitantly. She paid the driver and pouted, casting a sad look at her plastered hand. It was completely numb. She couldn't feel where the numbness ended or the pain started. Her whole arm was red and the skin around the plaster had become swollen. Last night she mistakenly slept on her fractured hand. She didn't realize it until she felt excruciating pain buzz through her arm when she tried to lift it after she resurfaced from the depths of sleep. It became worse with passing time. When it became intolerable, she decided to show it to the doctor. Hence, she was here at the hospital. All alone. It's not like no one would have come with her if she asked them. It's just that she didn't want to make a fool out of herself in front of Claire's family given everyone in Argent Family considered her a clever woman. After all, only clever brains could bring her so far in life whe

89"I never thought I would say this but, boss, I think Zara is trying to keep you around her." Reggie commented while pressing the button to summon the cabin. "Hallucinations or not, she was acting in ways that would have required your intervention anyway. You weren't there but we saw her throwing stuff and acting violent with the nurses." Reggie's eyes hardened as old images replayed in his mind, "For a moment I felt like she wasn't the sophisticated lady I had heard she was. It was like I was meeting a completely different person who was not Zara Levine but someone else in her skin."Penny's fingers curled tightly around the railing as her eyes twinkled in appreciation for Reggie. "Yes, Reggie! Nice observation. At least there is someone with sharp eyes. You can catch Zara before your imbecile boss." She whispered to herself, concentrating on their convo. "No offense, sir. But I think it's her old feelings coming up on the surface. Zara had a forced marriage with a man she had ne

90"Hell! I wanted to listen more." She sucked in a breath and kicked her right foot angrily. Eavesdropping on Hunter's conversation had surprisingly reduced her pain. Though the sporadic bursts of currents she felt in her arm persisted, the pain overall had become tolerable. That realization made Penelope climb down the steps and make her way out. She hailed a cab and came back home. Her mind was occupied by Hunter's conversation with his guards that she couldn't silence. Even if Penelope endeavoured to distract her mind to do something else, it jumped back to the memory in the hospital near the elevator chambers. By the time evening crept in, pain in her head became more intense than the one in her hand. She felt an urge to reduce it by sharing what she heard in the hospital with someone.Alas, there was no one who she could discuss Hunter MacIntyre and his unfiltered confession with. Everyone else beside Claire despised him in the Argent family. They would pay to see him sufferin

91"Yeah!!!" Penny went wide-eyed at Claire's accuracy. "And you thought I'd skip my dinner if I heard about him?" Claire blew out a breath in incredulity for Penny shrunk back like she was afraid that Hunter's topic will affect her friend. "Come on, Penny, you need to get it straight that it's over. I have moved on.""I don't care if he plays a caretaker for that slút or feeds her with his own hands. My heart has hardened. It doesn't ache over their mention any more. It's just... Just..." Claire didn't know how to describe the hollow feeling she felt over Hunter's mention. "It's hard to explain but, Penny," She inhaled sharply. "Stop worrying about me. It doesn't hurt any more. I'm fine.""Oh wait, wait, wait," Her eyes narrowed accusingly. "Is it because of Hunter you didn't let me come with you?" Penelope's bad habit of biting and nibbling her lips on getting caught was on projection. "Oh hell, you are ridiculous, Penny! Of all people I didn't expect you to treat me like a child

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

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 wit

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 right

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
Regretting Divorce Chapter 232
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
