Regretting Divorce

19 

Zara was startled. Her eyes aimlessly stared at the floor while the position of her head froze to an angle overlooking the white tiles to her left. She refused to blink as the pain from the slap spread throughout her skull making her cheek throb. 

“Don’t you dare try to lure me with that melodiously sweet voice of yours. I am not Hunter and it will not work on me, bitch!” voice full of malice. 

hissed, her 

Zara slowly lifted her face, her eyes perused the woman standing in front of her closely. She saw a beautiful woman during her lowest. A woman who could have been the strongest if only the person she loved the most supported her. 

Claire kept her chest from heaving. The back of her eyes was searing. She tried to blink it away as she maintained eye contact with Zara. 

“I know what you are, Zara Levine, and what intention you have come here with. But know that I will not back away easily. You can be a cunning whore for all 1 care. In front of me you are nothing. Claire said in a sharp and grating voice. 

There was silence thereafter for as long as Claire could feel. She was trembling from all the discoveries she made, and her headache made her feel worse. She lifted a hand to clutch her bandaged forehead as she closed her eyes to ease some pain 

When she undid them and looked up, she was startled. Zara was sitting rather boldly on the bed with a malicious smirk. All the helplessness from her body language was gone. Her eyes glinted with sinfulness as she gave them a careless roll 

“So you caught me, huh! I am swayed by your intelligence, Claire. Thank god you are not like those imbecile heroines from movies. You are one tough woman. Zara’s voice lacked the sweetness she had shown earlier. 

She laughed like a villainess, Tm glad you know who and what I am. Otherwise it would have been so tough to pretend to be nice to you. Where’s the fun in being sweet and kind to the wife of the man you are trying to steal? The real fun begins when you know the other party is aware of your abilities and yet she couldn’t do anything about it.” 

Those words struck Claire like a hammer. She had pitied this woman. Thought that she was a kind soul tortured by the world. 

Now as Claire regarded her, she recalled the famous saying–The most beautiful flowers contain the deadliest poison. 

“Everything happens for the first time indeed” Claire sneered challengingly. 

Seeing the flames of persistence in her eyes, Zara was caught off guard. Now she saw a woman who was wounded but had determination of iron. But again she rolled her eyes and smirked like a devil. It was not like Claire could hurt her. 

“But in your case it happens again and again.” Zara mocked her. 

“I heard that last year Hunter abandoned your wedding anniversary celebration for a business meeting. Then this year he abandoned you for me. I can see that everything else in his life is important but you.” 

Claire clenched her teeth. She suppressed her mask of indifference from slipping. But seeing how Zara was sneering at her, she knew she hadn’t managed to keep it all together. 

“So what, huh! Not every fairytale starts with love. Some fairytales go through a bumpy ride before having their happily ever after.” 

Claire’s response made Zara chuckle. She clapped her hands and held her stomach as if it was hurting from all her laughing. 

“I’m sorry I didn’t mean to laugh. But y you are funny, C 

Claire. I’m so sorry,” Zara wiped out tears from the corner of her eyes. 

She looked straight at Claire. Her gaze lowered to Claire’s hands as she said, “What you are calling a fairytale beginning was actually a smart plan carved out by Hunter. You were simply being taken advantage of… Until I returned. Now that I am back, you are no longer needed. 

A punch of bewilderment lodged itself into Claire’s solar plexus. Zara’s words were like hot oil being poured in her ears. She was momentarily frozen as she looked at Zara smirking at her. 

“Do you even realize that you are embarrassing yourself by having this conversation with me? Come on, Claire. You are a clever woman. From that wedding ring on your finger to the man who you put it there all belongs to me. They were all mine before I left” 

Zara took joy in the sight of Claire’s blanched face. She decided to rub more salt on her wounds by sharing some of her old memories with Hunter. 

“You know when we were dating, many women tried to snatch Hunter from me. I was studying medical science so catching up with each other often became difficult. During that time many girls tried to distract him. But he has been like a loyal pet. He never betrayed me or so much as looked at them when they proposed the idea to cheat on me and be with them. He always came back to me no matter what.” 

2/2 

“And this arrangement that you have mistaken for a fairytale was nothing but Hunter’s way to buy time. He knew I would come some day. And Jook I am here.” She smirked and leaned against the pillow, crossing her arms and cocking her head to the side. 

She resembled a cunning witch when she looked at Claire like that. It unclasped something in Claire. She shoved Zara’s shoulders into the bed and tried to strangle her. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Why are e you back, whore! Why target my husband? Claire squeezed her neck until her eyes popped out 

A moment came when it felt like Zara might die if she didn’t leave her. Hence, she let go but not before striking her again in the face. 

Even after all of this Zara laughed. She sported an evil smirk as she coughed. Though tears emerged from her eyes she didn’t look dreaded at all She seemed to be enjoying this moment. 

“Now you are talking like those anxious and witless heroines from the movies. You know the answer, Claire” Zara said. 

Within seconds she was sitting upright again. She reached for the bowl of fruits kept beside her. She popped two grapes in her mouth and moaned. 

“My husband was rich. I enjoyed spending his money. Yeah, it’s true that he was awful in bed. He hardly knew how to rub my clit, let alone eat it hungrily like Hunter Claire hissed. 

She came at Zara again. 

“You might want to be careful now, Claire. I can’t take it more than twice. Why are my words upsetting you though? I am telling the truth after all Don’t tell me you have not experienced Hunter’s tongue on you yet: Zara eyed her warningly as her lips continued to curve. 

“I hope you have already realized how I made my way into Hunter’s arms. She was back to eating grapes as she spoke. 

“I climbed into his bed first. He was famous and I knew how to make him notice me. I only had to visit his favorite bar. It only took two shots of aphrodisiac. Then after a night full of his wildness, I played innocent. He was swept away by my acting and this beautiful figure and God gifted Innocent face came in handy. After that, we were inseparable. Hunter would hardly leave me. He was always on top of me and inside me when we were together.” 

“But he was very considerate when it came to spending. He would often give me lectures on how to not spend money unnecessarily. He was rich and famous, he was yet to get the reins of their family business, and his mindset was trash. Though I was physically content with him, it’s not everything. I wanted money. I wanted expensive and branded stuff which he never gave me. That’s why when I met Clifford at a party, I knew I was marrying him.” 

“So it wasn’t arranged. You lied to Hunter saying that your parents betrothed you to him.” Claire’s eyes squinted in disgust. She was sick at the sight of Zan. 

“It was supposed to be a one night stand. But when I discovered Clifford was rich, I tricked him into proposing to me even though he sucked in bed. I could sacrifice sex for money. After all, I knew I wasn’t going to be a faithful wife to him. That’s something I have never been… Faithful” She laughed while Claire watched her with contemptuous gaze.. 

“But that doesn’t mean I could afford Hunter’s hate. I was aware that he was learning business when we were dating. I have seen his forthcoming success and I knew it would be huge and more than my husband’s. So to be on the safer side 1 left a note. Zara clicked her tongue. “His success was Inevitable. I didn’t know it would be so soon after I leave 

“But there was no going back. I was married and I had all the luxuries I wanted.” 

Zara paused to take a bite of an apple. Her sinful mocking eyes met Claire’s as she added. The rest you know I guess.” 

“This time I don’t just want money but also an active and satisfactory sex life. Hunter can give me both. Well, it’s a pity that I have to crush your dreams to fulfill my own. But you can always follow in my footsteps and bewitch someone else’s rich husband” Zara’s face glinted with darkness as she winked at Claire.
