All Chapters of After the Divorce, My Psycho Alpha Ex-Husband went feral: Chapter 461 - Chapter 470

Scarlett POV“I said it would be the part where I lose my mind.”He brought me indoors, laid me down on the bed, and carefully covered me with the blanket.Then he sat on the edge and stayed there.I knew he’d barely slept since my fever last night.He’d watched me eat this morning and hadn’t touched food himself.“What kind of feeling makes you skip sleep and meals over me?”“What did you used to think of me?”He skipped my question and asked his own.His voice sounded unsure, like the fog in his head made even the past difficult to pin down.What did I used to think of him?I looked at the confusion flickering across his face and felt a little bad.So I gave him the truth instead of another jab.“Hard to deal with.”Good family, sharp brain, tall, unfairly good-looking.Stack all that together, a

ScarlettPOVI went inside and threw myself into work until the quiet lunch finally loosened its grip.By late afternoon, I stepped out and found his car still there.Everything I’d buried came flooding back twice as strong.I frowned at him as he opened the door and walked over.“What is this? Don’t tell me one contract needs a full day.”“Yeah.”He didn’t even try to defend the excuse.I crossed my arms over my bag and studied him.Same sharp gray suit from lunch.Hair perfect. The tiredness under his eyes almost sold the important-meeting story.I shook the thought off. No more making excuses for him.I’d come here specifically to get space. His trailing after me defeated the whole point.And he knew I was on my period.What exactly did he think was going to happen?Was he still stuck on the idea that I’d bled too much and was dying?Whatever story he was running in his head, I wasn’t playing along.After a full day of work, I only wanted a shower, a glass of champagne, and sleep.“

Scarlett POVI looked down at myself.Pajamas were still on, fully buttoned.So Jaxen was still in crazy mode—just a quieter version of it.“You absolute psycho!”I kicked the blankets off and sat up fast.The second I’d realized something was wrong with him, I should’ve called his mom and gotten the hell away. Instead, I’d played along. Great choice.Mess with somebody whose brain was already cracked, and now look where it left me.Who exactly was supposed to save me from this?“Scarlett. Morning.”The sliding door opened.Jaxen’s voice came in, warm and amused.My kicking foot froze mid-air.Curtains slid open on both sides.Sunlight flooded the room, and I finally noticed the ridiculous wall of glass right next to the bed.I squinted at the brightness.“What’s the UV rating on these curta

Scarlett POVOutside, the water had gone flat and dark.Storm coming.I began ripping the house apart, searching for any communication equipment.Even if he was crazy enough to want to stay forever, someone still had to bring food and fuel.I opened every cabinet in the closet, then moved through the rest of the rooms.I started knocking on walls the way people did in movies, hunting for a hidden panel.“Scarlett. What are you doing?”I’d been at it long enough to wake him.We locked eyes.His face was calm. I did not know how much he’d seen.Embarrassment flickered, then died. Survival first.“If I can’t find a phone, I’m burning the supplies. I don’t think you want to starve

Scarlett POVHis promise knocked the urge to cry right out of me.Then I noticed how warm he felt against my back. The solid muscle under his clothes made the whole situation feel a little less impossible.I turned around so fast I almost startled myself.“Do you mean it?”“Yes.”Jaxen kissed me.“I’ll make it up to you.”“You’re not just saying that right now? What if later you decide you weren’t thinking straight and back out?”“If you don’t trust my word, I can write it down and sign it.”Knowing the Hale lawyers, a handwritten note probably wouldn’t stop him if he really wanted out.Still, he’d offered. I wasn’t turning down something that might be useful later.I watched him write everything he’d just promised.When I looked out the window again, the wind and rain didn’t feel so personal.The storm even looked a little beautiful.“Even though you keep saying you’re clear-headed, I still can’t treat you like a fully rational person.”I went to the dressing room, pulled out a cardi
