Regretting Divorce

Chapter 50

Claire’s body froze. She drew in a sharp breath while attempting to flash a smile. 

“Mrs. Murphy, L… Tension failed her. 

The complaint in Tia’s eyes was palpable. She didn’t try to hide her disdain when she sneered. 

“I have been fond of you always, Claire. You are like my daughter. I truly sympathize with you for what you suffered. But,” Tia grasped her hand and squeezed it spitefully. “I do not appreciate you dragging my son in your mess.” 

“Mrs. Murphy, I don’t know what you are saying. I didn’t-” 

“I will cut to the chase, Claire, I saw the article and the pictures and it is too much for 

my bearing. How could you 

kiss my 

son 

A startled gasp burst from Claire’s mouth. She blinked her eyes frantically as she shook her head in dissent, 

“I didn’t kiss Tyler, Mrs. Murphy. The pictures are taken from deceptive angles to make it look like we kissed. But trust me, it’s not like that.” 

Tia sniggered cruelly. Gone was the woman who was earlier consoling Claire that things would be fine soon. 

She folded her hands and narrowed her eyes, “Whether you kissed him or not it doesn’t matter. My son’s image is being sullied because of these pictures.” 

“You are accustomed to getting attention on the internet for the wrong causes, Claire. My son isn’t. He doesn’t deserve to be judged around because of a divorcee.” 

Claire moved back as her mouth hung open. She felt her muscles becoming rigid under the impact of her words. 

Divorcee! No one called her that yet. Not even the users who disliked her on the internet. 

“I can understand your turmoil. You have suffered irreparable damage in the hands of Hunter MacIntyre. But do not dare use my son to wash it over. I will not let you use their enmity for your benefit.” 

“You married Hunter by going against everyone. Now deal with him on your own. My son will not be your puppet.” Tia clenched her teeth. “I am sorry if my words hurt. But the truth hurts and if you don’t want me to be truthful again then please refrain yourself from seeing my son.” 

Tia walked away only to come back and say the last few words. 

“I can understand you want to seek revenge on Hunter for using you for two years. You have every right to. What could be better than going out with a man? Take any man in the world for all I care. Just stay away from Tyler. He’s been miserable once because of a woman. Don’t make it happen twice.” 

Then Tia finally left for good while Claire inhaled a breath. She felt wetness on her clieeks and realized she was crying- 

She heard footsteps coming behind her. She didn’t have to guess who it was after all she just came back home with the heir of this family. It was him. 

“Claire,” Startled by Tyler’s voice, she made a hasty retreat to her room and closed the door. 

She removed her heels and sat down on the floor by bed. Holding the sheets in a tight grip, Claire wept her heart out. 

“I’m getting to listen to mean things from people who once liked me because of you, Hunter MacIntyre, I’m being seen as a

wretched divorcee. It’s all because of you. You will pay for my tears and miseries one day Hunter. You will pay.” 

Bloomerest 

was already sour from the conversation he had with Claire, 

Hunter came back home with a grim look. While his mood wi Zara’s regular calls made it dirty. 

He was forced to switch his phone off. As if his phone would start working again if he carried it with him, he left it in the 

car. 

Hunter undressed and entered in a hot shower. 

The atmosphere was becoming frostier day by day in Bloomeres Sun barely shone in the last forty–eight hours and the sky. was crammed with gray clouds. A thunder rattled outside and thick drops of rain cascaded in gray trails. 

With a towel around his waist, Hunter stepped out. He was picking out track pants for himself when the angry thudding of high heels echoed through the room along with a pissed voice. 

“This is not done, Hunter. I’ve been trying to talk to you since morning and you didn’t bother to call back. What’s more you even switched your phone off as if I’m worth nothing to you.” 

Zara was breathless in anger. She placed her hand on his bare back to turn him around. A current of excruciating discomfort surged through him. 

He removed Zara’s hand and spun around to face her, not before taking a few steps away. 

Zara noticed the distance between them and squinted her eyes 

Then she donned a pained look as she said, “Do’t irritate you, Hunter? If you don’t like me near you then you can tell. I will go away. 

Hunter closed his eyes for a second to gain some composure. He had been badly pissed by the phone call with Claire earlier. As if her words were not enough, his imagination wasn’t helping it either. 

He couldn’t stop his mind from creating images of Claire in bed with Tyler. 

As he catapulted their thoughts away, he realized how mean he had been to Zara because of them. 

It was Claire who was getting on 

on his nerves but Zara getting the mean treatment. It was Claire who schemed against him but Zara got his ignorance. 

He swallowed a lump in his throat as he watched Zara. She was the woman for whom he ruined his married life. For her he ditched Claire’s loyalty and broke her heart. In order to be with her, he went against the world. 

Regret washed over him. He closed the gap between them and held her shoulders. 

“Why would you think like that? I can never be irritated by you, Zara.” 

As he began to take her in a hug, she moved away. By now she had thick tears in eyes and tremors from sobs making rounds through her body. 

“I have become a burden for you, haven’t I? You can’t put up with me. Zara faked a heavy voice. 

“I just wanted to be there for you. Y–you have seen the article, right? Claire and your business rival. I thought you’d need support since your ex–wife is getting involved with your enemy. So… I just… I just… Zara ran out of his room while holding 

her mouth.

Chapter 50 

Hunter ran after her. He caught her on the staircase. He 

e seized her arm in an iron hold and whirled her around. 

“I was busy with recurring meetings, Zara. My work is hectic. I have told you that before. Who do you think you are dating? A clerk? Come on, I am the CEO of my company. I have several long meetings to attend in a day, do a lot of things and look over a hundred thousand employees working for me all over the country and overseas. I have a shedload of burden on my shoulders. He said frustratedly. 

“Just because I don’t answer your calls does not mean I don’t want you, I divorced my dutiful wife to be with you god dammit! Never ever repeat those words again.” 

He realized his hold was tight on her shoulders. Hunter let her go and looked away. It also sank in that he said way too much to stop her. 

He did divorce Claire for her… And now he was having second thoughts about it. Maybe he should tell her that as well? 

Maybe he should also tell her that he was confidently lying! 

His thought was broken when Zara put her shaky hands around him. The moment her body came in contact with his bare one his skin stung. Hunter clenched his teeth tighter and didn’t dare move a muscle. 

On the contrary. Zara observed him feeling conflicted but she did not move away. She banded her arms tighter around his naked torso She kissed the hard plains of his chest and looked up with eyes brimming with tears. 

“I’m sorry. I just got emotional. It gets very boring in the penthouse. I stay all by myself and there is no one else other than you to talk to.” Zara blinked her innocently to show how lonely she felt in his absence. 

“Enzo is there but he is no better than a dead body. He is always sitting by the elevator in a chair like a non–living object. A- and today I… I had a b–bad dream. I… I saw Clifford and his parents. T–they were… They were beating me in my dream and 

“Shh, you didn’t see them.” Hunter responded to her words and embraced her protectively. 

Zara grinned evilly against his chest. She knew nothing would move him better than the mention of her poor dead husband. 

“You are as good and useful as you were to me when alive. Clifford. Your mention always helps me. May God give you the biggest house in paradise and bless your soul. She wished in her mind amidst a laughter while she sobbed to make it look like she was having a hard time in front of Hunter.- 

“I just w–wanted-* 

“I am sorry for not taking your calls, Zara. I swear I will not repeat the mistake again. Please, calm down.” Hunter cut her off as he stroked his warm hand on her back. 

Zara leaned into him as much as she could. She deliberately shoved her stomach towards his manhood. She wanted to drag Hunter to the edge so she could make him spend the night with her. 

He did say that they were dating. They haven’t done more than kisses. Even those were a thing of the past. After the divorce. Hunter had stopped looking at her. He had stopped coming to her too. Henceforth, all this drama She needed him to make a move and fuck her. 

If he didn’t put that dick inside her, how was she going to get pregnant! 

She needed to have his child in her belly to end Claire’s chapter from their lives. Because it was obvious that Hunter was getting attracted towards his ex–wife. And after what was trending on the internet about her and his enemy Tyler, he was likely to get distracted severely. 

After all, men only realize the value of an object when they see it in their enemy’s possession.

Chapter 50 

So the faster she acted the better. 

“Zara, Hunter grabbed her shoulders and drew her away from him.. 

In the background, thunder hollered like a mighty mad beast. The walls of the mansion seemed to be shaking in its intensity. The long curtains hanging on the windows rippled and floated around like a ghost. The temperature in the room went down as chilly strong winds rushed inside as if they needed shelter from the storm raging outside. 

“I need to get dressed” He said. 

“Oh, sorry.” Zara gave him a smile. 

Hunter smiled back and prepared to go back to his room. 

“Erm. I’ll go back to the penthouse then. Have a good night. But Zara announced before he had taken three steps ahead. 

As she had guessed. Hunter turned around with a rigid look. 

“Can you hear the storm outside? It’s not safe to leave now. You will spend the night here.” 

“Oh no, no thanks. I can’t stay.” Zara quickly raised her palm in a gesture of denial despite feeling happy inside. “It’s not too late. I will call Enzo if need be.” 

“You are staying, Zara. That’s it. Why don’t you make us something to eat? I would love some hot soup. It’s perfect for the night. Hunter concluded 

Zara acted as if she was reluctant. Like she didn’t want to stay the night in his and Claire’s house. She pulled and played with her fingers as long as she was under Hunter’s scrutiny. But the moment he left, she lifted her face to unleash a satanic smile. 

“That’s what I wanted to hear.” She descended the stairs and came to the kitchen. 

A bowl of soup was on the flame, simmering already. She reduced the flame and stirred it. Inhaling the tasty smell of the soup, she moaned. 

She had already put the soup on the flame before she went up to meet Hunter. She was aware of his taste and habits. She knew he liked to ravish soup during stormy rainy nights. Perks of being his lover! 

Zara withdrew a small vial with green liquid in it. She emptied it in the soup and mixed it. Taking in its smell, she moaned. again, “Mmm, it smells amazing. It’ll make Hunter do amazing things to me too after he consumes it. I can’t wait for the long night we’ll have. After this night, Hunter will never have second thoughts. Claire will never bother him. She won’t be able to come between us after tonight. Hunter will be trapped with me forever.” 

She caressed a hand on her f flat stomach. 

The… 

Oh no, Zara is about to make a dirty move! What will be Claire’s reaction after hearing about this! Any guesses!
