All Chapters of After the Divorce, My Psycho Alpha Ex-Husband went feral: Chapter 271 - Chapter 280

Scarlett POVOne night of drinking until I completely blacked out had ruined the entire weekend.Now it was Monday morning.When my alarm went off, I honestly wanted to call in sick and spend another day in bed.But Ryan Parker had just given me a raise.Calling in sick immediately afterward didn’t seem like a significant career move.So I dragged myself out of bed and automatically reached for my car keys.It wasn’t until I reached the underground garage that I remembered.My car was still at the repair shop. I’d dropped it off on the way home from the hospital two days ago, and I wouldn’t get it back until tomorrow.I needed a ride.I pulled out my phone and requested one.Monday morning's rush hour had other plans. No driver accepted the request.By the time I made it to the entrance of the apartment complex and stood by the curb for nearly ten minutes, the

Scarlett POVWhat was Delaney doing?Curiosity got the better of me, so I picked up my phone and texted her.What’s going on?She might not have been looking at her phone.Ten minutes passed without a reply.I wasn’t sleepy anymore, so I got out of bed and went to check on her.After knocking and getting permission, I opened Delaney’s bedroom door.She was sitting on the floor with a miserable expression on her face.“Did something happen at work again?”Delaney shook her head. “No.”“Then why are you howling?”“I’m not howling. I’m mourning.”I stared at her. She still did not attempt to get off the floor.“What are yo

Jaxen POVI heard Scarlett tell someone on the phone that she was going to the hospital with Delaney.Something about that didn’t sit right with me.I immediately thought of Winston Jackson.Ever since I’d cut ties with Gary Hirsch, Winston and I had barely spoken.I picked up my phone and called him.He answered after a moment.“Jaxen? You called me?”I didn’t bother with small talk.“Did you do something to Delaney?”Winston went silent.I could practically picture the confusion on his face“I swear I have done nothing to Delaney. Jaxen, are you sure you didn’t get the wrong information?”“You have done nothing to Delaney? Then why is she going to the obstetrics and gynecology department? Is she pregnant?”I hadn’t wanted to jump to conclusions about Winston.But Delaney going to that

Scarlett POVI’d finished lecturing my ex-husband, but walking back into the room and facing Delaney still made me feel a little guilty.Before I could say anything, she asked, “What did your ex-husband want?”“He wanted nothing. I went to him. I asked him to stop meddling in other people’s business.”I grabbed the pillow beside me and thumped it a few times, imagining Jaxen’s face underneath it.“He’s insane. Occasionally I really want to send him to a psychiatric hospital and have someone check whether there’s actually something wrong with him.”“You can’t send him there,” Delaney said dryly. “But he could probably have you checked whenever he wants.”“That hurts.”

Scarlett POVThe look on Delaney’s face was half helpless, half annoyed, which immediately made me curious.“Did your landlord give you a hard time?”“My landlord didn’t give me a hard time.”I spread my hands, completely defeated.“But my new landlord is Jaxen. I do not know when that man bought the place!”I’d known exactly how much money my ex-husband had during our marriage.I’d benefited from it, too. That part had never been a secret.I was more surprised than I wanted to acknowledge that he could sneak out and purchase a property related to me without saying a word.“Oh.” Delaney’s response was remarkably flat.Apparently, nothing my ex-husband did could surprise her anymore.After a brief silence, she asked, “So, are we still moving?”I responded without hesitation, “Yes.”
