The Wife He Threw Away CHAPTER THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR_ CLAIRE’S POV
The last thing I needed was for Lucian to find out where I was. I glanced at my phone as the cab crawled through traffic, the screen lighting up with his name for what felt like the hundredth time that afternoon. ‘Lucian Dhark’ I stared at it until the call came to a stop. A few seconds later, another call came through. I sighed and turned the phone facedown on my lap. I could already imagine how the conversation would go. Where are you, Claire? Why didn’t you tell me you were leaving? Where’s the driver? Where’s your bodyguard? And when I finally told him the truth, he’d probably demand that I send him my location and wait wherever I was until someone came to collect me. I loved that man, but sometimes his determination to protect me made me want to pull my hair out. I understood why he was worried. Between the rumors spreading about me, Eva’s ongoing trial, and the fact that I was pregnant, he had more than enough reasons to be on edge. But I couldn’t spend t

“Someone in my house has been working for Eva?” I repeated—as if repeating the words might somehow make them less absurd. Margot nodded. “That’s what Hart told me.” I stared at her, trying to make sense of what she’d just said. A maid. Someone who had worked under my roof for years, someone who had access to my home and the people in it, had been feeding information to the woman who had nearly destroyed my life. My first instinct was to dismiss it. Not because I believed Eva was incapable of something like this—I knew precisely what she was capable of. But Hart Sullivan? I didn’t trust that bastard. Hart was a violent criminal who had spent years doing Eva’s bidding, and that’s all he would ever be in my eyes. While his testimony had helped expose her lies, I wasn’t about to start accepting everything he said as the unquestionable truth. “Are you certain?” I asked Margot. “And before you answer, remember who we’re talking about. Hart has hurt innocent people

The meeting ended earlier than expected. By the time I returned to my office, Tessa was waiting beside my desk with my updated schedule. “Your two o’clock meeting has been moved to tomorrow,” she informed me. “The overseas investors have confirmed the call for four, and Mr. Bennett would like to discuss the revised acquisition proposal before the end of the day.” “Have him send the documents to my email. I’ll review them tonight.” Tessa glanced at her tablet. “You also have dinner with the Singapore delegation at seven.” I thought about it for a moment. “Ask Whitmore to attend in my place,” I said. She looked up. “You want to cancel?” “Delegate it.” I corrected. “All right.” She made a note. “Is there anything else you’d like me to move?” “No. That’s enough.” Tessa studied me for a moment before asking, “Are you going home?” “Yes.” She didn’t comment, but I caught the faintest hint of amusement in her expression. “What?” “Nothing, sir.” “Then why are

For the first time in months, business was finally looking up. The reports sitting in front of me finally contained more good news than problems. Our latest quarterly figures showed steady growth, improvement in investor confidence, and two major deals that had been delayed during the scandal Eva caused had finally gone through. Dhark Holdings was recovering. More importantly, it was recovering without my having to spend every waking hour putting out fires started by a woman who had once claimed to love me. I glanced at the financial report on the conference table while our chief financial officer walked the board through the figures. “Revenue has increased by twelve percent compared to the previous quarter,” he explained. “Our overseas investments are performing better than projected, and the renewed confidence from our existing investors has opened the door to several new opportunities.” A few members of the board exchanged pleased looks. Director Whitmore nodded. “E

I couldn’t get out of that courtroom fast enough. The moment the judge adjourned the hearing, I gathered my things and walked out without looking at anyone. I could feel the reporters’ eyes following me, and hear their whispers behind me. I hated them. I hated the cameras, the questions, the judgment in their eyes. Most of all, I hated the fact that every single person in that courtroom seemed to believe Claire Moreau was some kind of saint while I was the villain in her little sob story. Claire had stood there with her perfect posture and that infuriatingly composed expression, insinuating things about me as though she had never done anything wrong in her entire life. The woman had a talent for making herself look like a saint. I pushed through the courthouse doors and spotted my lawyers waiting beside the black SUV parked near the entrance. My lead attorney, Mr. Harrison, was speaking to his associate when he noticed me approaching. He immediately opened the rear d

The drive to the police station gave me more time to think about Caroline. I didn’t like coincidences, especially when they involved people who had already demonstrated a willingness to hurt someone. Claire sat beside me, staring through the window. “You’re thinking about her again,” I said. She glanced at me. “Who?” “Caroline.” She sighed. “Is it that obvious?” “Only because you’ve been staring at the same building for the last three minutes.” She turned away from the window. “I don’t know what to think about her anymore. We were best friends for years, Margot. I knew her family. She knew mine. We shared a room, studied together, and talked about our futures as though we’d be part of each other’s lives forever.” “And then she betrayed you.” “Yes.” “People don’t always stop being dangerous simply because we once loved them.” Claire was quiet. I didn’t want to make her more suspicious than the evidence warranted, but neither could I afford to let her nosta
