All Chapters of After the Divorce, My Psycho Alpha Ex-Husband went feral: Chapter 251 - Chapter 260

Scarlett POVI shifted farther away from Jaxen.The elevator numbers kept changing.I forced myself to breathe. I was done letting old memories control me.But the anger was still there.The wolfsbane hadn’t been mine. I had carried the blame for years. Jaxen had insulted me over it and humiliated me over it.And the person who had actually done it had never paid the price.That part still made my blood boil.“Crazy.”Jaxen turned toward me.“Your floor is coming up. We...”“I need to tell you something.”The doors opened. My apartment was right there.I stepped out. Then I looked back.“I’m coming out.”Jaxen followed.I

Jaxen POV I took the stairs back up.The building still felt cheap compared to places I’d owned, walls too thin, rooms too small.I’d hated it at first.Knowing Scarlett was only one floor away made the nights quieter somehow.My thoughts kept looping the same questions until my temples ached.Had I judged her too fast? Built an entire picture of her from one night and a handful of assumptions?The more I turned it over, the less solid it felt.My wolf shifted under my skin. I rubbed the back of my neck and stared at the elevator doors until they closed.Regret sat heavy.I’d agreed to the divorce.Let her walk.Now I had no claim, and no right to ask where she went or demand her time.I’d thrown that away myself.“Hey, Alpha Hale. You’re still here?”Delaney stood in the doorway downstairs.I straightened and gav

Scarlett POVI didn’t need a full briefing.As his assistant, I knew the drill.First stop was Jack for flight preferences, hotels, ground transport: everything that kept a trip from falling apart.He sent the files over immediately, and I sat back down at my desk with the sense that something about the entire exchange with Ryan still sat wrong.He had looked… off.Not angry exactly, but tight around the edges, like he was holding something back the entire time I was in his office.Had Jack gone in there looking pathetic enough that Ryan felt cornered into taking me instead?If the man had been that reluctant, he could have just said so.A clean “no” would have been easier. I could have started the handover, put the resignation letter together, and walked away without this awkward half-yes hanging over both of us.Instead,d he assigned me the trip while clearly not thrille

Scarlett POV The plane touched down, and I stayed in my seat until we reached the gate.My head still felt heavy from the sleep I’d managed on the flight.When I glanced sideways, Ryan looked even more closed-off than usual—shoulders set, jaw locked, eyes fixed somewhere past the seat in front of him.I couldn’t read him, and I decided not to spend the energy trying.Once we were off the plane, I grabbed a luggage cart and loaded both our suitcases onto it.My fingers had just closed around the handle when a larger pair of hands took it from me.I looked up. Ryan was already pushing the cart forward, expression unchanged.For a second, I simply stood there. I hadn’t expected him to do it himself.I would not complain.For all his usual seriousness, my boss could be surprisingly careful with small things when he was.I followed him out of the terminal.The car

Scarlett POVMy address was on my employment paperwork, but I was willing to bet Ryan Parker had never actually looked at it. And even if he had, there was no way he’d remember where I lived."Hidden Park," I said.“You…”Ryan stopped himself before finishing the sentence.He probably wanted to offer me a ride home, but I’d already called an Uber. Asking me to get in his car now would only make it awkward.He was still my boss, so I wasn’t about to stare at him while he struggled to find whatever he wanted to say.I gave him a few seconds.Apparently, that was it.When we walked out of the airport, we went our separate ways.I climbed into my Uber while Ryan headed toward his car.We were going in opposite directions.I noticed nothing unusual on the drive home.I was too tired to care about much of anything, and somewhere between the airpo
