All Chapters of After the Divorce, My Psycho Alpha Ex-Husband went feral: Chapter 231 - Chapter 240

Scarlett POVThe undercurrent between them was none of my business.One wanted a girlfriend. The other wanted a second chance.Neither had asked what I wanted.If every other man on the planet vanished, I’d still pick neither of these two.I walked away, put them both behind me, and reattached myself to Parker’s side, where an assistant belonged.I felt Jaxen’s attention follow me the second I moved.The weight of it settled between my shoulder blades like heat.Even across the room, his presence pressed against my senses—familiar, heavy, Alpha.My body registered it before my brain could shut it down.I hated that.I’d been back from the trip a short time.I’d told him straight I had zero interest in Gary. I’d made it clear my head was empty of anyone. So why did the look on his face still feel so familiar?He followed.Gary&rs

Scarlett POVThe second I stepped through my front door, I let the mask drop.My bag hit the entryway cabinet harder than usual.Delaney looked over from the couch.She couldn't see my face from where she was sitting, so she raised her voice.“You’ve been at the new job for one day, and you’re already this pissed off? Are your boss and coworkers that bad?”“It’s the psycho upstairs.”The moment the words left my mouth, Delaney knew exactly who I meant.“Your ex-husband?”I dropped onto the couch and glared at the ceiling, as if I could glare straight through it and hit Jaxen.“I went to a dinner with my boss tonight. And, of course, Jaxen was there.” I kicked off my shoes.“Then he called me sweetheart. In front of everyone. I almost lost my mind.”After three years of marriage, he had finally used a word t

Scarlett POVAfter last night's awkward mess, walking into work this morning should have been easy.It wasn't.Not when Ryan Parker was sitting only a few feet away from me.Every time I caught sight of him, my brain helpfully replayed pieces of last night that I would have happily erased from existence.And who could I thank for that? My ex-husband.He had somehow made me look like an absolute fool without even trying.I braced myself for Ryan to act differently around me.He didn't. Not even a little.He greeted Mas as if nothing unusual had happened, handed me a list of things that needed to be done, and went straight back to work.No awkward pauses or strange looks. Nothing.I could have kissed him for it.Jack Louise also had a stack of work ready for me. Since I was supposed to take over more of his responsibilities, he wanted me to get up to speed as quickly as possible.

Scarlett POV“What the hell?”I wiped the spot on the folder where his fingers had touched it before opening it.Then I started reading.I expected a trap. With Jaxen, expecting the worst wasn't paranoia.It was an experience. But the more I read, the more confused I became.This wasn't a threat. It was career advice.Detailed career advice.Professional. Specific. And, annoyingly.Whoever had prepared it knew my work history.They'd clearly gone through my skills, experience, and career path and laid everything out in a way that actually made sense.There was even an entire section explaining why Borisen Group wasn't the best long-term fit for me.I almost laughed.I finished the last page and slowly closed the folder. Then I handed it back.“Don't you think you're being ridiculous?”I looked him straight in the eye.“I worke

Scarlett POVI took my time at the mall that night, wandering through stores I didn't particularly need to visit and trying on things I had no intention of buying.If Jaxen had really meant what he'd said about coming back, there was a good chance he'd be waiting outside my apartment again.The thought should have irritated me.Instead, by the time I finally made my way home, I was almost curious to see whether he'd actually kept his word.The elevator carried me up in silence, and when the doors finally slid open, I stepped into the hallway with my shopping bag hanging from one hand.Then I saw him.Jaxen was standing outside my apartment, exactly where I'd expected him to be.I wasn't shocked.If anything, there was something almost ridiculous about the fact that this man could run an entire giant company and apparently still find the patience to stand outside his ex-wife's door as if he had nowhere el
