Regretting Divorce Chapter 241
241Night has settled in. The fog was billowing like aurora lights in the air, outside Claire's window. She sighed lazily as she slumped back in the chair, removing her hands from the window sill to comb her hair back.She spent the whole day after that encounter with Hunter in her room. Claire didn't dare leave the space she had grown comfortable in. She feared crossing paths with her ex-husband again... Worried that his captivating looks might draw her back into his arms.She didn't want that. Even if her heart and body were against her thoughts and wanted nothing more than melting in his arms, she didn't want that.She was looking outside boringly when her stomach churned. Touching a hand on her belly, Claire pouted.Grandma Avery had surprisingly disappeared since morning, Claire couldn't bring herself to go in the kitchen and ask for some food. She guessed that the reason for the old woman's vanishing was her. Her kiss with her grandson, and the hurt it might have brought to the o

242Claire sat quietly. She wanted to cover her ears so she wouldn't hear grandma extol her arrogant ex-husband. Anyway, she endured it with a straight face. "I haven't visited Bloomcrest in a while but I have many friends there. To be blunt, I have many eyes and ears to see and hear for me. They told me Hunter's appearance after your divorce and one of them claimed that Hunter was resorting after bringing you back. That was quick. As a woman who was oppressed by her husband all her life, I felt inclined to see Hunter redeeming himself for you." Grandma paused for a break. "And I really admired Hunter.... Way before he started having a problem with my grandson. He made me realize not all men are the same. Some own up to their mistakes and want to make amends. That's the reason why I decided to play cupid in your lives, Claire." "But what you're doing now...." Grandma eyed Claire disapprovingly. "I think it's a bit too much. In fact, it's a lot. You're being unfair to him and yourse

243"I want to see that bitch now!" Those words swept over Claire like hot water, scalding her skin with goosebumps. It was followed by a monstrous growl, one that seemed to make every object in the hall shake in its intensity. Then words, like the striking of dangerously sharpened katana, were delivered by none other than a fuming Hunter. "Avery, either you put a leash on her corrupted mouth or I strangle her throat unless she's dead!" Hunter threateningly stepped towards the person in question who scoffed uncaringly."First you put a leash on your fúcking mouth, MacIntyre. You're talking to my mom. Be respectful... Or else," Tyler came to view. Claire watched him put a hand on Hunter's chest and thrust him back. Hunter didn't budge though. He stood on his spot, his back to Claire. But it wasn't difficult to envision his facial expression. Claire knew how he looked when he was super mad. She could see his jaw ticking as he tried to keep his fury in control. His dark eyes growing d

244Claire shuddered helplessly as she awaited the pain of stabbing. She was never stabbed before, but she was well cognizant of the pain of cutting herself in the kitchen.When she was still Hunter's wife and resorted to impressing him with her cooking skills, she had small accidents in the kitchen every second day. Even if the cut was small and the bleeding wasn't worrisome, the pain it brought would be dizzying. However, she was growing impatient, standing prepared to feel the pain anywhere on her body, yet it never came. When she cracked an eye open to see why Tia Murphy hadn't yet stabbed her, tears gushed out and relief she wasn't supposed to feel in this circumstance hit her in waves. Loud gasp left her mouth as she lifted her face, stunned, shivering in shock and love blooming for Hunter in her chest, her eyes glistening with tears, fingers twitching while her heart somersaulted. How would she feel the pain from the stab when he was holding the knife in his tight grip! Clai

245Hunter rubbed his bleeding palm on her face, cupping her cheek and then going down to kiss her.Claire's breaths hitched as her heart drummed in her chest. The warm blood on her cheek washed over her like acid. Her eyes tore up, enlarging in shock and distress.She didn't get to react to the kiss as it was short and Hunter pulled away quickly. Claire gulped in a deep breath and hated the acrid smell of blood that exploded in her nostrils. "This is just a demo, Dove. I swear I'll cut myself open if you don't come with me!" He whispered like a devil. "Y-you won't do that." Claire stammered and for some reason Hunter was amused by her reaction."Wait! Are you scared?" He sat up, still straddling her while she laid still under him.She looked away. Hunter smiled as he regarded his bleeding hand."Wait, is it my blood? You don't like to see me bleed, do you?"When there was no answer, Hunter did the most unexpected and sadistic thing— He tore her red dress and pressed his bleeding pa

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 thro

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 the

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

292Tears dribbled out of Claire's eyes as she covered her mouth to stop her sobs. Hunter had really caught her off guard with his proof. She traced her shaking fingers on his skin, especially the outline of the heart in which her name was written. The area around the tattoo was red and sore. Hunter softly winced in pain when she lingered her fingers on her name inked on his skin. "Do you like it?" Hunter asked, his eyes searching hers for her emotions. But he only found tears. Tears showing her shock, pain, emotional turmoil and what not. "H-Hunter... This... Why did you have to do this?" She sobbed. Getting up from the table, Hunter sat up straight. He pulled her in his arms. His legs locked behind hers as he lovingly caressed her cheek and kissed her forehead. "Why not? I love you and I want the world to know. Haven't I said this before— The world saw me break your heart. Now they should also see how badly I've fallen in love with you. And this tattoo..." Hunter gave her a cu
Regretting Divorce Chapter 291
291Claire ignored it for as long as it could. There came a moment, though, when she could do nothing but notice how he sat, silently watching her. He looked like a god himself. But he was mesmerized by her beauty as though she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen… And as if there was nobody like her. The man, however, had no idea that he was a fine specimen himself. Claire gulped a knot of desire, trying to focus on driving. It wasn't very long when she realized that asking to drive was a bad idea. Hunter looked seductive in his fitted suit. Every inch of him was calling out to her to jump in his lap and kiss the hëll out of him. That white shirt was inviting her to mark it with her red lipstick. The crisp collars were asking her to crease them in her hold— while those noticeable and enticing veins on his neck teased her, inviting her to trace them with her lips. His fine and toned physique filled half of the car as he exuded a sense of possession and domination. His loo

290Hunter's face was drenched in sweat. Hunter could easily deal with this situation. He wasn’t the kind to fear a psycho, but knowing Claire had planned this date just for him made Mona feel like a threat. He didn't want to let Mona ruin her effort. Everything so far had gone smoothly. Hunter didn't want Mona's arrival to destroy everything. Hence, he decided to go and see her in the men's washroom. "Uh, Claire, I'll just come back. I need to use the restroom." "Okay, I'll wait in the car for you." Hunter saw her leaving and remorse ploughed through him. He apologized to Claire in his heart for lying to her. But going to the restroom was important. It was either that or have Mona ruin their entire day which had been nothing but full of good memories. He walked towards the restroom like an approaching storm, his stride long and hurried. He banged the door open only to find it empty. Casting a gaze around, Hunter checked every door. There was one that was locked. He knocked on it

289Hunter's heart throbbed wildly in his chest as he saw his Dove asking him so innocently about the surprise. His lips curved with a beautiful smile, and he felt like giving it to her just here and now. "No, it's with me." Claire started checking his pockets. But was disappointed to find nothing other than his phone and purse. "Where is it, Hunter? You have nothing on you?" She whined. "Who said I have nothing on me? You haven't checked it thoroughly baby. It's on me and it'll always be on me from now on." He smirked as he kissed her, and she could feel him smirking. "What is it, Hunter? Tell me, I want to know." Claire pressed but Hunter remained quiet. He let Claire take them to their dining venue, and was glad that she had chosen to book an entire room for them. Just them. The table was alight with candles in the centre of the room. A huge chandelier was hanging over their heads as it glowed with lights, casting soft golden light on them. Rest other part of the room was cl

288Hunter's head was clouded by the message he received as he got down the car. Luckily, the restaurant was set in a dim and quiet area. He didn't have to worry getting caught by paps or anyone who could be a bother. He looked at the restaurant and heaved loudly.Reggie noted the worry on his boss' face but kept his concern to himself. He knew that if whatever he received on his phone had been risky, Hunter would have already put him to work to take care of it. He didn't, instead he asked Reggie to leave him alone."Hunter..." Hunter heard Claire's voice somewhere outside the restaurant behind his back.He impatiently whirled around and swept a gaze around. His heart stuttered and grew bigger in size as he noticed Claire— she was standing under a tree in the far corner, wearing a hot and stylish black dress.Hunter strode towards her. His pace was leisurely, his eyes fixed on her. Even his soul was captivated by her appearance and his heart thudded in admiration for her.When he sto
Regretting Divorce Chapter 287
287"Hey—""H-Hunter..."Hunter sat up straight, his spine erect, and his face becoming white in shock as fear crept under his skin, listening to Claire's voice.He looked at the clock and gulped a shallow breath. It hadn't been more than an hour since he dropped Claire off to her home, and hearing her panic-stricken voice unsettled him."Dove, what's wrong? Is everything okay at home?" Hunter asked and bit his tongue to stop himself from saying— Did Scott do something again?He heard Claire's heavy breathing and immediately got up."Dove, say something!""H-Hunter... I... I..." Claire sobbed, causing his patience to near its end.At once he grabbed the keys to the bike he rode tonight."Don't worry, Dove, I'm coming over." He literally sprinted towards the door.His body was suddenly cold from terror as Claire's sob was making it worse. Hunter had come around the staircase. He was about to descend when he heard her sniff and ask him not to come.He stalled and stared at nothing in th
Regretting Divorce Chapter 286
286Hunter stared at her, thrown off guard by her words. He reflected back on their meeting in the dark alley, and indeed what he realized made his mouth open a little. Mona hadn't looked like she intended to do anything physically with him. Her grin back then had been playful— one that of a naughty child who knew he was notorious for his mischief. "You can say that I was testing your loyalty towards Claire. I didn't intend to do anything mischievous, Hunter. But you see, Claire ruined everything when she interrupted." Her lips lifted in a sneer as she showed him her left cheek.There was a visible claw mark on her skin from Claire's nails. The scratch was swelling, its edges inflamed and red. Hunter felt bad for her. Now that he knew that Mona didn't mean to do anything condemning in the dark alley of the mall with him, he felt the need to apologize to her on behalf of Claire, but Mona beat him to it as tears flashed in her eyes."No, Hunter. I might want to see you with Claire and
Regretting Divorce Chapter 285
285Hunter's body worked on its own. He felt like someone had trespassed into his territory and snatched one of his shirts that Mona was folding.He growled at her as his eyes seemed to darken even more. In the dim lights he came off as a hunter ready to tear his teeth into her skin and kill her. It wasn't a surprise that Mona was unaffected. She just rolled her eyes and lifted her finely manicured hand to blow over her nails."What the hell are you doing here? How did you come inside?" Hunter hissed."I was trying to be helpful as you can see." Mona said while casting a gaze around.Hunter's walk-in closet was a mess. It looked like a clothes manufacturing factory, unfolded shirts lying here and there, some trousers on the floor as if they were dropped just there after trying them on."I don't need your fucking help, alright! Just tell me why you are here and get the hell out." Hunter gritted out between his clenched teeth.Mona watched his knuckles whiten as he fisted on the shirt h

284"If you think that then I'm happy otherwise in my opinion, Reggie ruined everything I did." Hunter smiled a little awkwardly."That's because you're used to having everything done meticulously, Mr. Billionaire. But for normal people like us some mess and chaos is welcome.""Well then," Hunter sighed. "I'll have to make sure there's some chaos in our relationship."Claire chuckled. Later on, they hopped back on the bike and Claire was the one handling it. Hunter sat behind her, admiring her as she flawlessly rode the bike. There were no words exchanged until Claire stopped the bike on the street some yards away from her house.Hunter blinked his eyes as he looked around."Why here, Dove?""Scott's room's window." She pointed as from where they stood they could clearly see that Scott's room's lights were on."Oh." Hunter got down as he didn't need any further explanation.He wanted to drop her at the gate of her house and watch her go inside. But he deemed it was okay if they got dow
