55Claire's POV My head throbbed in an agonizing headache as I watched the two men glower at each other. Never in my wildest dream would I ever want them to have a face off. Yet, here they were. Face to face. Fighting over me. For what? Their claim? I scoffed and blinked my eyes. None of them were saints. They may not have let it be obvious but both of them had blood on their heads. That's how the rich become rich. By shedding blood. Sometimes theirs. Sometimes of others. Although I have not heard any news about them both indulging in criminal activities, I can confidently say they had connections with the dark side of the world. After all, a man will not threaten another with such malice if he wasn't a part of the underworld. And surprisingly, both of them were. Hence, I was numb with terror as I did not want them to get into a physical fight because of me. "You do realize that you are standing in my house, right?" Tyler drawled in a pissed voice as his hands fisted on his sides
56I froze in my spot as the sound of breaking and bursting objects boomed. Hunter and Tyler were after each other's throat. At one moment it was Hunter throwing Tyler against the wall then another it was Tyler. While it felt like only a handful of seconds had ticked by, both of them were drenched in blood. My mind didn't shift gears until I witnessed Tyler breaking a flower vase on his head. It sent Hunter a few steps back. He struggled to maintain his balance. When he had it, he howled like a mad wolf and grabbed a broken, sharp and pointed piece of glass from the floor. "Hunter, no!" I threw myself in front of him, staggering him in his stride. I know I shouldn't feel dizzy but that's what it does— the sight of Hunter's blood. His forehead was clad in red, his left eyebrow split open from the corner and the right side of his mouth was swollen. His lips quivered as if he was on the brink of bursting out. Fear fluttered in my stomach because he looked like a monster. "Please."
57He came forward to touch my cheek. I reached out and punched his jaw. He was bleeding so badly that a pool of redness had formed at his feet. Despite that he was steady in his spot, his stance strong and confident. "I never thought I'd say this but I hate myself for loving you. You are my life's biggest mistake. I wish I never met you." He nibbled on his bottom lip and looked down. It pinched my heart. For a tall and powerful man that he was, he appeared helpless and pained by my words. "You have done me enough damage, Hunter. I will kill myself if you dare show your face to me again." His face shot up, his eyes wide in shock. "You can't—" "You know I can do it. And I swear on my dead baby that I will." He came closer while staring at my face. "You will do no such thing." "I will and you will be responsible for my death like you are responsible for my baby's." He wanted to retort but I said, "Go away, Hunter. Just go away." "Just goo!" I yelled, holding my head. Even if
58Three days later,Hunter was sitting in his cabin in front of an open laptop, his eyes were staring at the screen but his mind was stuck to that moment Claire walked past him without giving him a glance while he was bleeding in Old Murphy mansion."What else do I expect— her care?" He sneered and held his head in his hands. “She was honorable enough to not kick me in the nuts for what I did to her.” He couldn't take her out of his head. Hunter couldn't focus on his work either. There were her images from that night and her icy words always reeling back in his mind. He caused damage that wasn't reversible. Even if he offered his life to pay for his mistakes, it wouldn't be enough. "I am sorry, Claire. I was such an idiot. I couldn't see your worth." He muttered to himself while rubbing his eyes. “But I'm glad it happened. If Zara hadn't come into our lives, I wouldn't have recognized my love for you. It was always there between us. You have brandished me as your own and I never
59Zara giggled to it and answered, "And for his dick. It's this long and this thick." She showed with her hands the size and thickness of Hunter's male organ. "Even if you combine ten dicks like yours, you can't make one as thick as his. And he's very good in bed.""Better than me?" Enzo turned her around to take one nipple in his mouth. Zara moaned. She guided his other hand on her free nipple and gave it between his finger and thumb. "I don't want to insult your hard work with my honesty!" Zara chuckled, which led to squirming pain in her chest as Enzo bit down on her nipple. She was about to return the pain when she fisted his dick in her hand. Except that Enzo filled her hole again, and started thrusting in her. "If he's so good then why are you here in bed with me?"Zara smiled, wrapping her arms around his built shoulders."That's because that idiot is starting to realize his hidden love for his ex-wife. He refused to touch me and since she left, he's moving around like a
60Zara's POVAn avalanche of disbelief plunged within me. My fingers twitched as I kept myself from crumpling the property transfer papers in my hold. They didn't seem real. They couldn't be. Hunter cannot just get rid of me like this. "H-Hunter, you want to chase me away?" I feigned a hurtful voice, keeping my tone several octaves low."I just don't want to chase away the feelings increasing in my chest day by day. And they're not for you." Hunter said with a straight face. My lips quivered. I wanted to say something but the shock was intense. My senses were torrentially struck by his unexpected move. As I stared at the papers, my own words I smugly shared with Enzo not ten minutes ago resounded in my own ears. "I was born to be a queen. Hunter will make me one for he is the king of this country."All the risks I took and crimes I committed came flashing in front of my eyes. From the murder of my husband who went bankrupt because of me to the fake rape I caused to myself. I des
61Zara's POV "I will be a queen and I will be a queen for Hunter that's for sure." I fumed. "Come on, baby, accept it. My boss doesn't want you." Enzo came behind me to hold my waist. "Shut up." I tried my best not to scratch his face as I got away from him. He wasn't very handsome. He wasn't very ugly either. "He ditched you but we won't. Your BBC men and I are always there for you." Indignation waltzed through me. I removed my slippers and charged them both at Enzo. They hit him on the face, causing him to fume. "Feeling insulted? That's not even close to what I feel." The lines on his face eased out. He came up to me and kissed my lips forcefully. When I tried to shove him away, he tossed me on the couch and lifted my dress to put my bare pussy on display. Since I was dreadful that Hunter was coming to meet me and I wasn't even close to fully dressed up, I only threw on a long dress and skipped my undergarments. Enzo took advantage of that and cupped my pussy. "It's bette
62Claire was focused on reading her old college projects. Now that she had only herself to proceed forward and begin her career, what could provide better motivation than her old projects. They were also retained by her college and kept for reference for other students.She also reconnected with a professor from college who admired her. An hour long conversation with him rekindled the fire within her. It was him who gave her a link to all the best projects done by the ex-students gathered in one place for reference.Claire also evaluated the works she had finished before she got married. As a civil engineer, she took part in creating five most known places in Bloomcrest and in three overseas locations so far. And then she was married to Hunter and gave up on work. Not that anyone knew her. For the world Claire was a princess born to her wealthy father. She was royalty with good looks and pleasant nature. They took her for a papa's princess who was best at getting dressed and flauntin
