Seducing my Ex-husband back Chapter 132
THE TRIGGER~CLAIRE'S POV~The library smelled mostly like old paper and a hint of something like death nearby."Richard," I said, stepping into the room.He didn't lower the gun. It was still pointed directly at Monica's forehead. Her eyes were wide, streaming tears, her makeup streaked like paint gone wrong."Stay back, Claire," Richard warned, his voice cracking. "I have to do this. It's the only way to fix it.""Claire, get behind me," Alexander ordered, his hand reaching for his own weapon."No." I pushed Alexander's hand down. I stepped in front of him, making myself the barrier between the men. "I'm doing this.""Claire.....""I know him," I whispered to Alexander, not taking my eyes off Richard. "Let me talk to him."I took a slow step toward my ex-husband. I looked at the man I had once promised to love forever, the man who was now trembling with the weight of a silver revolver."Killing her isn't worth it, Richard," I said softly. "Look at you. You're shaking. You aren't a k

THE HOLLOW MAN~RICHARD'S POV~(30 Minutes Earlier)The tires of my sedan crunched over the pebble driveway, the sound loud in the oppressive quietness of the Catskill woods.I killed the engine, but I didn't move. I sat there, gripping the steering wheel, staring at the sprawling log cabin illuminated by the headlights. My hands were vibrating...not from fear, but from a rage so cold it felt like hypothermia.On the passenger seat beside me sat the evidence file. Underneath it lay the silver revolver.I picked up the gun. It was heavier than I remembered. Cold steel against a sticky palm. I tucked it into the back of my waistband, grabbed the file, and stepped out into the night air.David was waiting on the porch.Of course he was. He leaned against the railing, a glass of dark wine in his hand, looking like a lord surveying his estate. He didn't look surprised. He looked entertained."Right on time, Richard," David drawled, his voice carrying easily over the wind. "I was beginning

THE DESCENT~CLAIRE'S POV~The helicopter blades cut through the night air, making a steady beating sound that matched my racing heart. Below us, the Catskill Mountains looked like a dark sea, with only a few distant lights shining.I stared at my phone screen. Calling Richard...Ring. Ring. Ring. Voicemail."Damn it," I hissed, ending the call and dialing again immediately."He's not going to answer, Claire," Alexander said over the headset. His voice was calm, steady…the anchor I desperately needed but couldn't quite grab onto."He has to," I said, my voice rising. "He's going to do something stupid. He's going to kill her, Alexander. He's going to throw his entire life away for a woman who isn't worth the bullet."I hated Richard. God, I hated him. I hated him for the divorce papers. For the nights I spent crying on the bathroom floor. For the way he looked at me across dinner tables while holding Monica's hand. I hated him for making me feel small and worthless.But I didn't want h

THE PUPPET MASTER~ALEXANDER'S POV~The Villa was too quiet, but it wasn't peaceful. It was the silence of a held breath.I sat in the library, the glow of the monitors painting the room in cold blue light. On the screen, the tracking beacon I had placed on Richard's car was moving, fast."He's speeding," I muttered. "Ninety miles an hour on the expressway.""Heading where?" Claire asked. She walked into the room, wearing one of my shirts, her hand resting protectively on her stomach....a habit she had developed in the last twenty-four hours."Upstate," I said. "Toward the Catskills.""That's nowhere near his estate," Claire noted, coming to stand beside my chair. "Why is he running?""He's not running, Claire. He's hunting." My phone rang. It wasn't Richard. It wasn't Ilynos. It was a number I hadn't seen in years, but one I recognized instantly.David.I put it on speaker. "Hello, brother.""Alexander," David's voice was smooth, carrying the ambient noise of wind and... was that cri

TWO PINK LINES~CLAIRE'S POV~I woke up to the intense scent of antiseptic and the low buzz of voices.My eyes fluttered open. I wasn't in the chair anymore. I was lying on the plush leather sofa in Alexander's office, his suit jacket tucked under my head. My arm stung. I looked down to see a small bandage on the inside of my elbow."She's coming around," a professional voice said.I blinked, my vision clearing. Dr. Evans, the private physician Alexander kept on retainer, was packing a blood pressure cuff into her bag. And hovering right behind her, looking pale enough to pass out himself, was Alexander."Claire?" He dropped to his knees beside the sofa, his hand instantly finding mine. His grip was tight. Desperate. "Can you hear me?""I..." My voice croaked. I tried to sit up, but the room tilted dangerously. "What happened?""You collapsed," Alexander said, his voice rough. "You walked into the office, said David's name, and went down."The memory rushed back. The nausea at the res

TOO LATE~RICHARD'S POV~The police officer had left an hour ago, but his words were still bouncing around the empty walls of the estate like a trapped bird. "If she contacts you, Mr. Blackwood, you call us immediately. These are serious charges. Grand theft. Corporate fraud. And, regarding the toxicology report... assault with the goal to poison."I sat at my desk....the only piece of furniture I hadn't smashed yet....and stared at the file folder the detective had "accidentally" left open.My hands were stable. Too stable. It was the calm before the hurricane.I reached for the bottle of scotch. It was the cheap stuff from the back of the cabinet, the only bottle Monica hadn't touched. I took a swig straight from the neck, the burn grounding me, before I picked up the first paper.Lab Report: 'R. Blackwood.'Substance Detected: 'Benzodiazepines (High Concentration). Scopolamine.'"Scopolamine," I whispered to the empty room. "Devil's Breath."She hadn't just been giving me anti-depr
