Bloomcrest,
Hunter was <b>working </b>on hisptop. He was engrossed in his work when his phone red loudly. Lazily he lifted his eyelids and located his phone beside his mug of ck coffee.
Zara calling…
A small frown settled between his eyebrows as he stated at it. Since that night he unwillingly spent with Zara watching a movie, she was after him like a shadow. Asking him about his <b>days </b>and work, about his meals<b>, </b>about everything he didn’t want to share with her.
He wearily grasped his phone and put it on silent. Then he ced it behind the heap of files on <b>his </b>left <b>so </b>that even if <b>the </b>screen lit up with another call he wouldn’t be able to see it.
Hunter went back to focus on hisptop <b>again</b>. But a knock on the door interrupted him. He asked whoever it was toe in and heard, “Sir, Mr. Wordsmith is here to meet you. He says it’s important.”
“Let him in.” He replied and resumed his work.
Hunter was least interested in Cole’s reason to visit him. Since his divorce, Cole behaved more as a pissed off human being who was in support of <b>his </b>ex–wife, <b>and </b>less <b>of </b><b>a </b>friend he needed in this time.
The sound of his approaching footsteps made Hunter look up. Cole was as usually dressed in casuals with some patches of y on his hands <b>and </b>sleeves. What amused Hunter was the serious and stressed <b>look </b>he was wearing.
“<b>So </b>grim. Did you mistakenly ruin a drying sculptor in your studio and came here to vent on the?” Hunter rested back in <b>his</b>, chair as he rocked sideways.
“This is not the time to try your bad sense of humor on me, Hunter Macintyre. You will have a worse reaction if I told <b>you </b>the cause of it.” Cole sat across from him while drawing his brows together.
Hunter chuckled, “Am I trending again for a bad reason<b>?</b><b>”</b>
“It’s not <b>a </b>new <b>thing</b>. I’ve been trending for a while and I couldn’t care less.”
Seeing his carefree behaviour Cole pped a hand on the desk, You will care all in the world once I break the news to you. You will want the earth to open up <b>and </b>swallow you whole because what I am about to share with you will make you <b>wish </b>that you didn’t exist to see this.
Silence prevailed between them. Except for the constant vibration of Hunter’s ringing phone nothing <b>could </b>be heart.
Cole gnawed his teeth together as he turned Hunter’sptop towards him. He typed on <b>the </b>keyboard and after a second he turned the screen back to Hunter who was still regarding his best friend and his startling reaction.
“<b>Pray </b><b>that </b>you don’t explode seeing this.” Hunter watched Cole say with <b>a </b><b>twist </b>of his lips before he smoothly lowered <b>his </b>gaze to the screen of hisptop.
He ceased all motions as his eyes hardened and a muscle at <b>his </b><b>jaw </b>quivered.
Ever so terrifyingly, his hands clutched the side of hisptop. Hunter yanked it close and read the article Cole opened on a
The headline was- Bloomcrest’s King’s beauty is now RavenMoore’s Lord’s babe,

Chapter 47
His eyes set afire as he saw the blurry pictures of ire standing in close proximity with Tyler Murphy. <b>They </b>were awfully <b>close </b>like two lovers would. That fucker’s hand was around her delicate frame while he was leaning into her to kiss her.
Fury flooded Hunter’s veins. He hurled theptop across the room with a horrifying roar.
Cole was

surprised as he was looking forward to this reaction. No man, after all, in his position would like to see <b>his </b>recently divorced wife swaying in the arms of his arch enemy. He was deeply thrilled though because Hunter didn’t love his ex–wife. He didn’t so much as wiggle an eyebrow when she was bound to him.
Then what was that reaction for?
“<b>What </b>the hell is ire doing in RavenMoore? How did she get in touch with <b>that </b>bastard? And who took these pictures? I will kill the fucker whoever wrote this article about thy wife. He spat angrily while turning to the wall of windows overlooking a spectacr view of Bloomcrest.
Cole noticed his muscles releasing as if he realized he had no right to call ire his wife or react so angrily over the article.
“I’m <b>d </b>you realized the woman in the pictures is not your wife any more. She is free to meet whoever she wants. But ye
yeah. I must say this is going to createplications if that man is indeed Tyler
“That is Tyler the fucking Murphy in the pictures. I can recognize him from a thousand miles away. Hunter whirled around again to gerhis <b>phone</b>.
“Going to my wife a few days after my divorce.
<ol>
<li>e. Not a good move</li>
</ol>
“He went too far this time to bother me.” Hunter muttered while dialing a number.
Cole scratched his temples as he rose to his feet. He gaped at the brokenptop, imagining the <b>scenarios </b>of a possible war between the two powerful men of their own countries.
“Don’t me Tyler Murphy. He’s not doing anything to bother you. It’s ire. She went to attend his grandmother’s anniversary party with her brother and his best <b>friend </b>who <b>is </b>Tyler’s younger brother.”
Hunter lowered the phone and grimaced over his shoulder. He was red and his eyes have darkened to a deeper shade of ck.
“You <b>think </b>I will <b>buy </b>your stories?” Hunter <b>said </b>while fisting his fingers.
“They’re not stories but in fact secrets that I managed to get out of ire’s one and <b>only </b>confidante. Penelope Baker
“Penelope Hunter bared his teeth. “Do you really think she would give you the truth! She’s ire’s friend not vou
She will never do anything that does not benefit her friend.”
Hunter chuckled madly, “Why am I even standing here talking to you? I need to know why I was not made aware of ire’s departure? She left the country under my nose and my source didn’t update me.”
He <b>was </b><b>about </b>to grab his coat <b>and </b>leave when Cole turned him around with <b>his </b>arm.
“You need to listen to me, stupid Macintyre. Else you will make bigger mess this time and no one will help you clean it.” Cole snarled at him.
Then he told him everything Penelope told him about ire’s tactic to seek revenge.
Luck was <b>most </b>likely on Cole’s side because Penelope <b>was </b>getting wasted in a bar when he called herst night. He intended to talk with ire who had changed her number. But Penelope told him things <b>she </b>shouldn’t have in the impression of alcohol.
“This little demon Scott. He could only find my rival to y my ire’s fake lover?!” Hunter <b>threw </b>a punch in the air while Cole’s eyes narrowed, hearing him call ire his.
Chapter 47
“He <b>is </b>sessful in <b>his </b>attempt to bring ire and Tyler together but I don’t get this one thing why is she agreeing to this? She knows he’s not a man who can be trusted. Cole <b>sat </b>in the chair again and clutched his hair.
“Even if it is to piss you off, she’s putting herself at <b>stake</b>. I assumed she’s a clever woman. But here I can see she’s <b>walking </b>right into the field covered with mines.
Cole then raised his using eyes at Hunter, “You pushed her to do this, idiot. I can’t me her alone when I <b>know </b>she’s got. the guts to do so because of your actions.”
Hunter <b>quietly </b>listened to his usations. Then <b>what </b>ire had said about avenging <b>him </b>echoed in his head.
“I will make you pay, Hunter. <b>You </b>will pay with blood, life <b>and </b>soul.”
That does not mean she’ll <b>handover </b>her body to my <b>rival</b>! He thought.
All the undesired memories of ire with Tyler clouded Hunter’s mind. She went to Tyler to bother him. She was getting closer to the man he despised so she could see him suffering.
Why him? Hunter trembled in a fit of ovepping rage. There are many other ways to make him pay. Why through Tyler?This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
Why give to him<b>? </b>To him… The man with <b>a </b>good face but evil intentions.
More than that, Hunter was feeling wounded because she had found <b>a </b>man for herself while he was still trying toe to terms with their divorce.
Was he not the man she loved? Didn’t she promise to love him all her <b>life</b>?
Though it was strange <b>that </b>he was thinking about those questions when he never recognized her love. But they were married for two <b>years</b><b>.</b>
She didn’t even wait two months before walking in <b>the </b>arms of another man. That too…. That man, Tyler Murphy!
“You can’t do this to <b>me</b>.” Hunter seethed as he shook his head.
“I am not doing <b>anything </b>to <b>you</b>. Cole responded as he assumed it <b>was </b>said to him.
But when he <b>saw </b>Hunter dialing a number on his phone, his heart jumped in his throat. He thought the call was being made to Tyler.
“Don’t be a stupid, Hunter. Put your phone down. ire will hate you more if she hears about <b>this </b>call from Tyler.”
Nevertheless, the deed was done. The call <b>was </b>made, and connected too.
eet voiceing from the phone caused Hunter’s shoulders to ck.
“Hello?” The sweet
He sat down on the desk and closed his eyes as a feeling of profound relief filled his being at the sound of that voice.
He felt like life was blown back in his body.
