The Wife He Threw Away CHAPTER EIGHTY_ EVA’S POV
The house was quiet in a way it hadn’t been before. Not empty. Not yet. But different. I walked slowly through the living room, my heels soft against the polished floor, my gaze moving over everything with quiet precision. Nothing had changed physically. The furniture was exactly where it had always been. The lighting, the arrangement, the careful balance of space and design—untouched. And yet— It felt lighter. I paused near the center of the room, my fingers brushing lightly against the back of a chair. Claire was gone. The thought settled in cleanly. No resistance. No hesitation. Gone. A small, almost imperceptible smile touched my lips. “It suits the place,” I murmured to myself. “Less… sentimental.” My gaze shifted toward the hallway leading deeper into the house. For a moment, I considered going upstairs. Not yet. There was no need to rush into spaces that still held traces of someone else. Those things faded better with time—and intention. Behind me, footsteps ap
The Wife He Threw Away CHAPTER SEVENTY-NINE_ CLAIRE’S POV
I woke up to total silence. Not the kind of silence that came with tension or restraint. Not the quiet that meant something was waiting to happen. Just… silence. For a moment, I didn’t move. The ceiling above me was unfamiliar. The room, too— neutral tones and clean lines. Nothing personal. Nothing that carried history or legacies. It was a hotel room. It took a second for everything to settle into place. The court, the ruling, packing a few things from the Dhark mansion and saying goodbye to Camilla. The end. I exhaled slowly and pushed my body up against the pillows. There was no schedule waiting for me. No hearing to prepare for. No expectations suffocating me the second I opened my eyes. For the first time in a long time, there was nothing I was required to do today. The thought didn’t feel freeing— at least not immediately. It felt… unfamiliar. I swung my legs over the side of the bed and stood, moving toward the window. The city below was
The Wife He Threw Away CHAPTER SEVENTY-EIGHT_ LUCIAN’S POV
I remained standing exactly where she had left me. The noise around the courthouse hadn’t stopped—it never did—but it had shifted. The attention had followed her, like it always did. Cameras, voices, and movement pulled in her direction until there was nothing left around me but fragments of what had just happened. Someone said my name a couple times. I didn’t respond. My gaze remained fixed on the space where the car had disappeared, long after it was gone. She hadn’t looked back. Not even once. “Mr. Dhark.” I finally turned slightly. One of the attorneys approached me, careful, measured. “We should get ahead of the press cycle. The ruling is clean. Favorable. If we position it correctly—” “It’s handled,” I said. He paused, then nodded and stepped back back. Another voice came then— this time it was my assistant. “The PR team is ready.” She informed. “They’re drafting a statement. We can control the narrative before—” I didn’t let her finish. “Do what you
The Wife He Threw Away CHAPTER SEVENTY-SEVEN_ CLAIRE’S POV
I stepped out of the courtroom without slowing down. The doors had barely closed behind me before the noise hit—sharp, immediate and relentless. “Mrs. Dhark—do you have a statement?” “Do you plan to appeal?” “Do you think the ruling was fair?”The voices of the reporters overlapped, each one louder than the last— demanding something from me when I obviously had nothing to say. Cameras flashed in my face, and desperate microphones extended toward me. I didn’t stop. I didn’t look at them. I didn’t give them anything at all, not even the slightest reaction. My heels struck the marble floor in steady rhythm as I moved forward, my expression composed as ever, my gaze fixed ahead. My feet felt lighter than they ever had. Whatever they wanted from me—emotion, reaction, weakness—they weren’t going to get it. Not anymore. By the time I reached the corridor, the noise had dulled slightly. Margot was already beside me. “We can appeal,” she said immediately, her tone sharp, and
The Wife He Threw Away CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX_ CLAIRE’S POV
The courtroom felt different when Margot and I walked in that morning. Not louder, not quieter. Just… final. Because this would be my last day battling Lucian in court. My last day being a spectacle. Today would either end in triumph, or defeat. I the way conversations softened instead of stopped as Margot and I walked. The way people looked at me—not with outright judgment anymore, but with something more that resembled curiosity. They weren’t sure what to think of me now. Good. I walked past them without slowing, without acknowledging the cameras, the whispers, the weight of attention that had followed me for weeks. But today, it didn’t press down on me the same way anymore. It didn’t feel suffocating. Today, it felt distant. Like something I had already survived. Margot’s files were arranged neatly on our table when we reached it. Margot glanced at me briefly as we took our seats. “We’re on time,” she confirmed. Across the room, Victoria Merlyn stood
The Wife He Threw Away CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVE_ CLAIRE’S POV
For a moment, the room felt suspended. Like the world around me had gone completely still. Then the headlines began to change. Not all at once. Not cleanly, but enough. The first thing I noticed was that the ticker at the bottom of the screen updated. “New Footage Raises Questions About Office Altercation Between Claire Dhark and Eva Sterling.” Another followed headline followed. “Full Video Suggests Initial Reports May Have Been Misleading.” The commentators who had previously said all sorts of things about me were now less certain. Less decisive. Now, instead of outright condemnation, they were debating. I reached for my phone slowly. The notifications were still coming in as fast as before—but they read differently now. “Wait… she didn’t start it?” “So why was the first clip edited?” “Still aggressive though.” “Both of them are toxic.” I scrolled for a moment longer, watching the shift happen in real time before I locked the screen and set my phone
The Wife He Threw Away CHAPTER SIXTEEN_ Claire’s POV
Less than an hour after the gala, I contacted an old classmate of mine, who had grown into a prominent lawyer. That was how I was able to get Margot’s phone number. I waited until the house went quiet before I sent the message. It was a simple, professional text. ‘Thank you for the opportun

Lucian told me about the gala four hours before it began. "There's a charity event tonight," he said, not bothering to look at me as he adjusted his cufflinks. "We need to appear united." ‘Need’ Not ‘would you like to?’ I waited foolishly, for him to ask if I wanted to go. He didn't.

Shortly after Eva and Lucian left my room, the household staff cleared the ruined clothes, like they were erasing a simple mistake. I knew Eva hadn’t just wanted to stop me from going to the interview. She wanted me to go looking like a failure— just like she saw me. I stood in my closet, t

The house was too quiet. But not the peaceful kind of quiet, but the dreadful one. The kind of quiet that made one feel watched. I sat on my bed, staring at the unsigned divorce papers on my desk. I told myself I was waiting for stability. For a first paycheck that would let me leave wit
