All Chapters of After the Divorce, My Psycho Alpha Ex-Husband went feral: Chapter 261 - Chapter 270

Jack POVOn my way to Mr. Parker’s office, I couldn’t stop wondering about Scarlett’s question.Why had she suddenly asked me that?It made little sense.I walked into the office with the question still bothering me, only to find Mr. Parker looking up from his desk.“Scarlett just submitted her resignation,” he said. “Has she ever mentioned anything to you about what she doesn’t like about the company?”For a second, I just stared at him.He’d called me in through the internal line, so I’d assumed he had another task for me. I hadn’t expected to be questioned about Scarlett, especially about her resignation.“Mr. Parker, Scarlett hasn’t told me anything.”I shook my head quickly.The look Mr. Parker gave me afterward was hard to miss. It was almost as if he were silently asking how I could be this useless.&

Delaney POVAfter dinner, Scarlett and I went to a small cocktail bar.There weren’t many people inside.Soft music played in the background, and the dim lighting made the whole place feel relaxed and easygoing.We’d known each other for over twenty years, so running out of things to say had never been a problem.We talked until our cheeks hurt from laughing, and we drank far more than we probably should have.The concern was that Scarlett hadn’t been drinking for very long.By the time I noticed, a faint flush had spread across her cheeks, and her eyes had gone slightly unfocused.I had paid little attention at first.The lights were low, and someone was performing on the small stage, so I’d been watching the singer while absentmindedly nursing my drink.Then I felt something heavy settle against my shoulder.I looked down.Scarlett had rested her head on me.

Jaxen POVScarlett and I had been together, on and off, for nearly five years after we’d first slept together. Helping her change clothes wasn’t exactly unfamiliar to me.I’d done it before, enough times that the motions came naturally.I took the pajamas to the bed and carefully helped her out of her top so I could get her into something clean.Then I froze. Scarlett and I hadn’t been intimate in almost a year.So much had happened over the past twelve months that I’d forgotten something as basic as physical desire.I’d been so consumed by everything between us that I’d stopped thinking about what it meant to have the woman I still loved this close to me.Now she was lying there, completely unaware of what was happening around me, and

Scarlett POVThe next afternoon I woke up with a headache that felt like someone had spent the entire night hammering nails into my skull. I opened my eyes, stared at the ceiling, and immediately regretted being alive. Alcohol had been a terrible idea.I rubbed my temples and tried to remember how much I’d actually drunk.That was when the memories started coming back—not properly, just in broken pieces. A glass. My bedroom. Someone standing beside the bed. Then a face.Jaxen?I sat up so fast that the room spun.What the hell had my ex-husband been doing in my bedroom?I pressed my fingers harder against my forehead and forced myself to dig through the fog.The more I searched, the clearer his face became. I remembered him standing there. I remembered him saying something. And then… his hands. Touching me.Had he taken advantage of me while I was drunk?Anger slammed into me ha

Scarlett POVI should have been paying more attention when I left the garage.Instead, I was still stuck on Jaxen: his stupidly calm face, that irritating confidence, and the fact that he’d actually been telling the truth.I was so distracted I didn’t notice the other car coming through the entrance until it was too late. I jerked the wheel, but the front of my car still clipped the other vehicle.The impact wasn’t bad, just enough to make both of us stop.The other driver jumped out right away. He was middle-aged, face already twisted with anger. “What the hell? Do you even know how to drive?”I rolled my window down. “I’ll pay for the damage.”He glanced at my car and scoffed. “You can afford it?”“I
