Regretting Divorce Chapter 85
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
Regretting Divorce Chapter 87
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 n
Regretting Divorce Chapter 1
"You look amazing!" Hunter MacIntyre's compliment sent his wife, Claire's blood coursing in her veins like an awakened river. "Thanks," She lowered her head while trying to hide her smile. Today was their second wedding anniversary. Claire was a lucky girl to marry the man she loved. She felt her nerves twisting in yummy delight. Her husband was a substitute to slow torture with that look of his. With that tailored suit clinging to his body, he forced eyes to take a look at him. Her gaze traveled to his brown, strong throat, then towards the deliciously straight mouth and up to his black eyes; dark and hooded and so full of secrets. They watched her intently causing her breathing to catch. Hunter hugged her from the back and snuggled her bare shoulder. He enveloped her right in his hold, enjoying the feeling of her being in his arms. "I can't wait to tell the world that I am falling for my own wife." Today was their anniversary. And the day couldn't get any better. Claire
Regretting Divorce Chapter 2
Claire felt exposed to danger. Like a baby bird left in the open. She dragged shallow breaths as she watched her husband hug his ex-girlfriend possessively. He whispered something in Zara's ear, making her eyes water. He wiped them with his hand. By this time, all the cameramen focused on them. Gasps erupted around Claire as Hunter's admirers began to gossip about it. "Oh goodness! Isn't that Zara Levine, Hunter's ex-girlfriend?" "Christ, she looks more beautiful than before!" "Look at Hunter's expression. He's all desperate around her. Damn, he's kissing her!" "They look so good together. But I pity Claire. She must have waited for today wholeheartedly and it had to be ruined like this. Her husband is kissing his ex-girlfriend in front of her. That's insane!" "But why is Zara back? She was married to another man, wasn't she? What's this now?" All the remarks around her made her body heavy. Claire was rooted in her spot. "Claire, let's go inside." Her brother tried to pull her.
Regretting Divorce Chapter 3
3 When Claire shook the hazy veil of darkness and came to the surface, the first face she saw was of her mother. Andrea's eyes were red and cheeks flushed. She was in the same dress she donned for Claire and Hunter's wedding anniversary. It was visible just by looking at her that she didn't leave her daughter's side even for one second. "Laire, baby," Andrea impatiently leaned towards her daughter and cupped her face. A tear of relief trickled from her left eye. She kissed her forehead and immediately looked over her shoulder to shout, "Claire is awake, Dominic!" She turned to her daughter again. She removed hair from her eyes and smiled, "How are you feeling now, honey?" She touched her swollen lip gently. Claire just stared back. Her mother's tears made her remember her own. Then it returned to her mind like a slow memory returning to a person suffering with amnesia. Pain, hot and raw, settled in her chest. Claire recalled how her husband left her outside the hotel they
