Regretting Divorce

Chapter 62 

Claire was focused on reading her old college projects. Now that she had only herself to proceed forward and begin her career, what could provide better motivation than her old projects. They were also retained by her college and kept for reference for other students. 

She also reconnected with a professor from college who admired her. An hour long conversation with him rekindled the fire within her. It was him who gave her a link to all the best projects done by the ex–students gathered in one place for reference. 

Claire also evaluated the works she had finished before she got married. As a civil engineer, she took part in creating five most known places in Bloomerest and in three overseas locations so far. And then she was married to Hunter and gave up on work. 

Not that anyone knew her. For the world Claire was a princess born to her wealthy father. She was royalty with good looks and pleasant nature They took her for a papa’s princess who was best at getting dressed and flaunting herself on the internet. 

One of the reasons why she was followed online was her fashion sense. Young people liked her outfits and they followed her for the same reason. Not everyone knew that besides looking pretty and royalty personified, she was highly professional, holding a degree in one of the toughest professions. A profession which is also believed that only males can have. 

However, the world couldn’t be blamed for not knowing about her holding a degree in civil engineering. Because Claire operated using a different name as she used to be an adventurous person who liked thrill and excitement in her life. She was a daring individual and reveled in riding motorbikes and cycling on mountains. 

She did everything a girl in her society would be mocked for. But the world was not one percent aware of her adventurous side. All they saw were her fanciful high heels and expensive dresses from the posts she shared on social media. 

She was fascinated by the fact that people saw her as a dumb princess with no talent of her own. They judged her because of her beauty and good fate for taking birth in a rich family. Just because she chose not to share the thrilling side of her life, they believed she was good for nothing pretty faced dumb woman 

As irksome as it was. 

rreal profession. Hence, she 

as it was, she liked it. Claire wanted to keep it that way, Keep the world in the dark with regards to her re created a pseudonym and signed all the work related contracts under her false name — Cara 

She was going through articles over the projects she finished in the past when she stumbled on an article, featuring a conversation with the people of a hamlet in Bloomcrest she helped to build a bridge. It was one of the smallest projects she carried out herself out of pure intention to help society. 

Claire recalled visiting this hamlet with her college friends for a holiday. It was three years before her marriage. The holiday was supposed to be a blast but they noticed the people were going through a lot of struggle. Especially children. They had to cross a river to go to school, the only school in the area. And often, a student or two drowned from overloading of boats 

Even the hospital facilities were available on the other side of the perilous river. Claire and her friends were told stories of some unlucky individuals who died for not getting medical help in time. 

Realizing that those people lived in a world completely different from hers- a world full of struggles and consequences, Claire and her friends resolved to help them. 

And now, the same people were blessing her and her friends for bringing ease and relief in their life. As she read their statements, a 

a grateful beam radiated on her face. 

“I should have never stopped working.” She murmured. 

“I can restart again. I’m so excited about it! 

Claire praised herself for finding her lost motivation. Then she regarded the stack of papers placed on the table beside her bed. Her father give them to her last night. They were legal documents and ownership deed of a new firm her earing dad opened in her name, 

It was a blow to her. The fact that he knew she would want to go back to work to move on in life made her eyes water. Claire was thinking of joining a construction company as an engineer. But her father surprised her when he handed her the papers of a company opened in her own name. 

He said that she had struggled enough, and the working environment in new workplace often brought pressure and challenges. Claire was done facing them all. Thus he decided to give her her own company where she wouldn’t have to worry about anything other than getting successful. 

She held the papers in her hand and stared at the name of her new company her dad chose–Cara’s caravan. 

It was thoughtful 

He knew she lacked support and motivation. Claire saw the worst at a young age and the name “Cara’s Caravan” was more than just a combination od words. It was a thoughtful and empowering name that reflected on her journey she has experienced. 

Just as a caravan embarks on an exciting voyage, Claire’s company would represent her own personal and professional journey towards users.

me “Cara’s Caravan” held a motivational undertone. It signified the idea of progress, movement, and adventure. 

Furthermore, the name 

With tears in her eyes, she kissed the top of the legal papers, “Thanks, dad. You know what your daughter needs during this time” 

Claire lived in that moment. She took her time before she put her signatures on the papers. Then she wheeled out of her room to her father’s study room. He was sitting behind his computer, wearing those funny pairs of specs that made him look like a racoon. 

“What are you laughing at?” Claire’s eyes widened in amazement as her father’s remark made her realize she was laughing out loud. 

“It’s nothing” She came inside the room and pecked his cheek. 

Claire sat in his lap and hugged him t 

“I love you, dad.” 

tightly. 

Dominic’s funny mood dropped. He was hoping to keep talking about the reason for her laughter since he somewhere knew it was because of his specs. But the moment Claire hugged him and withdrew a shivery breath, he was overcome by fatherly emotions. 

“I can’t wait to see you wearing a safety helmet again! Dominic stroked her back. 

He was a father who was proud of having a daughter like Claire that found pleasure in going beyond the society’s boundaries. He believed that a girl must not be stopped. She was as capable and strong as a boy child, and that nothing was impossible for her if she was provided with support. 

When Claire left her work to focus on her marriage, Dominic was not happy. He tried to bring her back to work but she was drunk on Hunter’s charm. He had bewitched her. She wanted to do everything to please him back then. 

Looking at her now, he couldn’t be anymore grateful. She was finally resolving to do what he always wanted her to do- Break the societal rules and embark on an adventure again. 

“You signed the papers?” He asked when she broke the hug 

“Yes. Here are the papers.” 

“Great, I’ll submit the legal documents to get your commencement certificate. It will take about a week or two.” 

Thanks. It il give me more time to review old projects and thesis for my preparation 

Claire pulled a chuair next to him and sat on it. She took a fleeting glance at the screen of the computer before coming to face her father. 

“Do you know the people in a village I helped years back to build a bridge spoke to a traveler. They were thanking me 

That’s amazing! If 

If I am not mistaken, you built the bridge with your college friends, didn’t you?” 

Claire nodded in a yes, to which, Dominic said, “Are you sull in contact with those friends of yours? 

“I have their numbers but.. Claire Faded out. 

She not only gave up on her career for Hunter but also her friends who stood beside her during many challenges she faced in college 

Dominic studied the look of longing and remorse on her face and spoke 

“That’s good you know, because you have to build your own team to start your company. Who can be better than your college friends? If they’re not already hired, approach them. Give them an invitation to join your firm with you, Claire. The more people you know join your company with you the higher chances it will have to excel 

Claire stared at him, her mouth parting in daze. 

t you going to help me hire professionals for my company?” 

She wasn’t ready to meet new people yet. What if they mocked her? What if they called her a greedy divorcee like Tyler’s mother did? 

Just the thought of being called a divorce made her throat tight with overwhelming emotions. 

The.. 

Claire’s father is so thoughtful, isn’t he? 

What are your thoughts on Claire’s new company name! 

Give her moral support, guys. She needs it to rebuild her life. 

Thanks for all the love and support. I am glad you are liking the story.
