All Chapters of After the Divorce, My Psycho Alpha Ex-Husband went feral: Chapter 421 - Chapter 430

Scarlett POVHot skin and that aggressive scent kept pressing in on me.Soft kisses trailed from behind my ear down to my chest, leaving a string of marks, and he clearly wasn’t done.My resistance got weaker, like I was sinking into it.My hand settled on the back of his neck...I jerked awake, clutching the blanket, and just breathed for a second.Grabbed my phone. Seven on the dot.After the ambulance left, I’d finally gotten into bed around four.Three hours of sleep, max.Remembering the dream, I tossed the phone onto the mattress hard.I’d planned my whole day on the plane.Last night was supposed to be solid sleep.Jaxen had wrecked that.First, the middle-of-the-night circus, then the dr

Scarlett POVDelaney was clearly still half-asleep.Took forever to pick up, then just made a noise before managing actual words.“Scarlett? Weren’t you and Regina on vacation? Why are you back already? You said you weren’t coming home for a while.”“Yeah. I’m back. Jaxen got in a car accident and ended up in the hospital. But...”“What? Your ex crashed? How bad? I’ll come by after my prenatal checkup.”I hesitated. “No, you don’t need to. It’s not serious. But Jaxen’s… different. It’s difficult to explain over the phone. Free this afternoon? I want to talk face-to-face.”“Sure. I’ve got the checkup this morning, and then I need to swing by the firm at lunch. Afternoons are clear. Come to my place. Mom’s out of town for a few days. We can talk properly.”I hung up, feeling a little ligh

Scarlett POVThankfully, even with his brain scrambled, Jaxen still knew work came first.After breakfast, he opened his laptop and started working remotely.I thought about telling him to rest, but I couldn’t find the right words, so I kept quiet.Once he focused, he looked exactly like his usual self—cool, distant.Those long, thick lashes dipped just enough to hide the screen reflection in his eyes.He was so locked in he might as well have forgotten I was still in the room.Thirty minutes later, he asked his assistant to get clothes ready. From the way he was talking, he planned to head to the office for a meeting.I stood up. “I’m leaving. I’ve got something to handle too.”I’d only stayed because of the detailed tests I’d arranged with his doctor.But once Jaxen got busy, he turned into a machine.Sitting there for half an hour had been

Scarlett POVLucas Vance spotted me the second I walked in and waved, grinning.“Hi, Scarlett. Long time, no see. Told you Jaxen would get you here if I mentioned it. You’d show if you were worried about him, right?”I glanced at the man on the other end of the couch.“Don’t flatter yourself, Lucas.”Jaxen and I were divorced.Technically, I had zero reason to track his whereabouts, and even less reason to drag myself to a bar just because he showed up.But he’d only been out of the hospital a few days. The stitches on his head had just come out, and he was already out here, playing social.I couldn’t just ignore that.Especially after what happened that night.My head still felt scrambled every ti

Scarlett POVThe hallway was a lot quieter than the private room.Dim wall lights stretched along the walls.Faint music drifted from somewhere farther down.I’d figured Jaxen was already gone.He’d walked out so cleanly it didn’t look like the intended to wait for anyone.I only made it to the corner before I saw him.He was leaning against the wall, phone in hand. A young woman stood next to him.She looked in her early twenties—tall, slim, long hair over her shoulders, wearing a pretty short skirt.She was looking up at him while she talked, smiling bright and full of that open admiration, eyes curved into little crescents.And Jaxen was actually smiling.Not the polite, surface-level kind.From where I stood, it looked like she genuinely amused him.I stopped walking and just watched from a distance.I was more surprised than I wanted to admi
