บททั้งหมดของ After the Divorce, My Psycho Alpha Ex-Husband went feral: บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

Scarlett POVI blocked Jaxen again after his unhinged WhatsApp messages and finally passed out, exhausted.Sleep came fast, deep, and dreamless until blinding light stabbed through my eyelids.My apartment was pitch-black when I went to bed. Now it felt like daylight.Heart pounding, I cracked one eye open.A tall, unmistakable silhouette stood beneath my bed.Moonlight from the window carved sharp edges across a face I knew too well.Jaxen?What the hell?I bolted upright, sheets tangling around my legs.“How did you get in here? I locked everything!”“Locks are for humans,” he said, voice rough, like gravel under moonlight.His wildfire-and-smoke scent flooded the room, overpowering and clinging to my skin.He stepped closer.I scrambled back against the headboard, pulse roaring in my ears. “What do you want, Jaxen?”“Y

Scarlett POVI wasn’t bluffing.After what happened at the estate under Regina’s drugs, the memory still made my stomach turn.If it hadn’t been for the chemicals, I would’ve dragged him to court.His full lips pressed into a thin line.“Always so fucking sharp-tongued. It’s ugly on you.”“Oh, that’s rich coming from you,” I shot back with a bitter laugh.I blinked hard, forcing down the sting behind my eyes.“You say whatever the hell you want, and I’m supposed to just take it? You never think about how your words cut… or maybe you do, and you like it.”He leaned in closer, breath hot against my ear.“You keep throwing around threats like that’s goi

Scarlett POVJaxen shot his mother a sidelong glance.“Mom, I’m on a tight schedule. If you dragged me here just to watch Scarlett play the victim, you’re wasting both our time.”His mother turned to me. “Scarlett, what do you have to say?”I almost laughed. “What can I say?”I wasn't concerned about chasing down his infidelity or naming names. I just wanted out. No more games with the prenup, no more chains. Just freedom.I met her eyes steadily. “I have little to say. How about this, Mom? Will you be our witness? Jaxen can meet me on Monday morning so we can sign the papers with the family attorneys and dissolve the mating contract. That’s all I want.”Jaxen let out a low, mocking sound.“Fine. Since you’re in such a hurry to end this, Monday it is. We’ll meet at the lawyer's office.”My pulse jumped violently. I

Scarlett POV“You can’t treat relationships like a game,” I said, resting my chin on my hand. “What if you catch feelings and he bounces? Don’t come crying to me.”Delaney poked my forehead. “That’s because you’re a hopeless romantic. I’m not. Worst case, I’d settle for a hot but broke guy…but I’d know it was temporary. I’m not signing up to be broke with anyone.”“What if you actually fall for one of those broke, hot guys?” I pushed back.“Never going to happen,” she said confidently.“You fell for a top-tier rich guy. If I ever lose my mind and go for broke, dude, you have my permission to slap some sense into me. I have a reputation to uphold.”I sighed. “I didn’t fall for Jaxen because

Scarlett POVA little after eight in the morning, outside the Council Marriage Tribunal building.I had only slept four or five hours last night, but it didn’t matter. Adrenaline buzzed through my veins, making me feel sharp and alive.I stood near the entrance, arms crossed, scanning the parking lot. When the familiar black Bugatti rolled in and slowed to a stop, my heart slammed against my ribs—bang, bang, bang.For a split second, I froze. Then I forced myself to breathe. It wasn’t happiness at seeing him. It was excitement. Pure, dizzying excitement at the thought that today I would take the first proper step toward never having to see him again.How can you be excited about never seeing our mate again? Lydia’s voice whispered inside my head, confused and a little uneasy. That’s… strange, Scarlett.I almost laughed. Right or not, I’ve waited three years for this. Today it finall
