Zara's POV

(After she ran away amidst explaining herself to Hunter in front of Caine and Claire outside her house)

I dropped the act after taking a turn into the alley that is around Claire's house at a five minute distance. There I found Pete, the man who told me about this seller of medicinal herbs. It was through him I got to know that the seller was also involved in unethical trading.

"So, how did it go?" Pete asked me with a lopsided smirk.

"What do my eyes suggest?" I walked into his personal space as I pushed him against the wall.

His hand automatically went around my waist as he began to ground his lower regions against my stomach.

"They look puffy and..." He seemed to think with his smirk widening. "if I didn't know your real face, I would have been dumbstruck too. They did the job the best they could do."

"They did." I winked at him. "And the credits go to you. Thank you for helping me. I would have been caught if you hadn't informed me in time."

The alley was dark with p

  • Regretting Divorce   Chapter 339

    339Next day,Claire registered Hunter being very quiet during breakfast. He didn't eat much either. Just a piece of toast, and a few bites of Omelette. Claire took his leftovers as her own breakfast after he excused himself and went upstairs.She followed him after her breakfast and noticed him trying to put a shirt on. She slipped behind him and lent a helping hand. Hunter didn't react. On other occasions, he would have pulled her in the front and tried to kiss him (like he did in the last week and she barely got out of his grip) but today he was absorbed in a deep thought."You look distracted. Everything okay at work?" She asked while buttoning his shirt. Hunter's eyes immediately came to her face. He smiled teasingly as if saying: Didn’t think you’d notice that."Nothing's okay at work, actually. It's a mess and I don't know how to handle this while I'm here like this." He pointed at his helplessness and the fact he was still not allowed to resume work like before. "I heard you

    338"What's going on here?" Claire barged in, bellowing on top of her voice.Dora wanted to say something. She had just parted her soft lips but Claire wrenched her away from Hunter and pushed her towards the door."Get out of here.""But, I wasn't—""I said, GET OUT!" Claire roared like a megaphone.Dora cowered back, her eyes widening as dread crossed her innocent features, "I... Hunter—""GET OUT OF MY HOUSE NOW!" Claire grasped her elbow and dragged her all the way down to the large doors.She shoved Dora out where she stumbled and came to a halt. Dora balanced herself a few inches before the stairs, else she would have flattened on her butt and hurt herself. She still tried to explain something but Claire shut the doors on her face before she snapped at her, "I don't want you anywhere around my house. Don't you dare come back if you love your pretty face!"Claire wasn't done yet. She charged up the flight of stairs and back inside Hunter's room. He was leaning against the balcony

  • Regretting Divorce   Chapter 337

    337The delivery person continued to look at her expectantly, hoping that he would get an answer from her that would let him transfer the boxes inside the house and then install the bed wherever it was needed. Except that Claire didn't know how to react. She just stood there, eyes wide, and mind flooding with recollection of her last conversation with Hunter about the bed. 'No, he didn't just...' She gulped hard as her eyes flickered rapidly. "Is it the delivery guy from IKEA?" Came Hunter's voice from behind her before she prepared herself to say anything. "Yes, it is.I believe he’s mixed up the location." Thea replied as she moved away to let Hunter peek out the half opened door. "He's on the right address." Hunter said as he stood behind Claire, deliberately pressing himself into her back. "But, sir, a new bed? In our house? I don't understand it." Thea muttered. "It's for me. My current bed is very uncomfortable.... And smelly!" Claire took a deep breath at his choice of wo

  • Regretting Divorce   Chapter 336

    336Claire felt the strings of her heart tug and stretch taut. She could feel herself getting lost again. Lost in the depth of his feelings. Lost in the labyrinth of his intense gaze. Hunter wasn't just looking at her, he was pulling her in like a magnet. He was compelling her to let herself loose in his arms again, and let him do what he wished to do with her.With a jolt, she broke free from his grip. Not again. She told herself. She wasn't going to leave herself at his mercy. She's done it thrice and got hurt each time.Moving away, Claire tucked her hair behind her ears and brushed past him to create distance."Where are my bags?" She asked to change the topic.Hunter stared at her for a good minute before he frowned, "Bags? What bags?"Claire gave him a stern look in return as she folded her hands."You sent Reggie to get my st

  • Regretting Divorce   Chapter 335

    335Claire's hands trembled on the handle of the door as she gazed out of the window at the looming mansion that had once been the house of her dreams. She swallowed past the knot forming in her throat as she held herself together. She didn't want to do this. She hadn't done this ever since she left this house after signing the divorce papers. And yet, after all these months, after all the determination and resolution— she was standing here, watching the house while trying not to cry. She came out of the car with Hunter following after her. He was still dressed in his suit, but the doctors had placed his arm in a sling. Since his body was far from recovery and the gunshot wound was very much fresh, sudden activity could worsen the injury. Also, after being unconscious for four days, he wasn't strong enough to carry himself without support. Hence, the sling was meant to stabilize him and ease the pressure on his chest.Anyway, when Hunter noticed her shoulders shaking and tears in h

  • Regretting Divorce   Chapter 334

    334"Let go, Claire. I have so much work pending." Hunter said. "Drop this stubborn act and listen to the doctors, Hunter. You are not completely healed." She caught him glaring at her with obvious irritation.She ignored it and motioned him to walk back inside. "Why should I listen to you when you've been ignoring me all this time? I'm fine... And I listened to the doctors! I can leave here. It's you who should stop pretending like nothing happened, Claire. Your plan is blown." He smirked while the doctor who had mistakenly blurted that he could leave flushed in remorse."You thought you could fool me into staying here? Too bad that the doctors can't lie that professionally."Cole and Claire shared a look of defeat. Over these days, they had also reconciled with an inevitable conversation and a hug. Cole apologized for being cold to her and Claire shared her feelings with him. Towards the end they decided to work together and try to keep Hunter in the hospital for as long as it was
