chapter 7

Sandra's pov

I took the modeling world by storm. The first thing I did was create an active social media page with regular posts and updates.

My content ranged from beauty tips to relationship advice. And my most viral video that had over 7 million views across platforms was the one where I told people about what happened in my previous relationship.

Unmost of my videos that were usually polished and well thought through I was drunk and just grabbed my phone out of my purse, I took the video and told everyone about my love story…how my ex-husband slept with someone who was also close to me.

By the time I had sobered up I was looking through my phone and the notifications kept pouring in that day alone I got about 5,000 subscribers and they kept going up.

More people discovered my other content and were really interested. They wanted to support me in my dream of becoming a model again after taking such a long break.

At the moment when I thought I was going to give up, doors started opening for me, doors that had been previously closed.

George who was ready to hand me the white flag to give up.

It all happened one night.

I had read the triplets a bedtime story and put them to sleep.

I kissed all of their precious forehead and was about to head to bed myself when I met George in the hallway. His face instantly brightened up and I tried to reflect his enthusiasm as much as I could.

“Are the kids asleep?” He asked already coming closer.

“Yeah, Lily stayed up the longest but she ended up sleeping anyway. I think I should crushed too I'm really tired,”

“Maybe we should catch you up a bit, I hardly ever see you these days,”

We live under the same roof but he made it sound like I stayed on the other side of town.

George was rather clingy and it only got worst with time.

During the day I had to send him frequent text informing him where I was and where I would be heading to.

He said it was because he was worried for me and my safety.

As usual I appreciated it all but I could go about 5 minutes without having to text him that I just went over to the convenience shop to grab ice cream for the triplets.

“I'm really tired right now, George…” he wrapped his hand around mine.

“It will only be for a moment,”

Before he could drag me away to a conversation that would definitely go beyond about 3 hours or so I received an email from an agency. They said they had seen my portfolio online and were interested in working with me.

Tears got it open my eyes and I turned to tell George while holding up the phone.

He took the phone from me inspecting it with stern eyes.

“This is a really popular agency…” he said and the skepticism was already building up in his voice.

“Are you sure about this? Maybe it's a prank,”

He reminded me that I had been too scared to even go to this agency in the first place and there was no way that they would contact me themselves I was already beginning to doubt myself and the email wondering if someone must just pulling a very poorly thought out prank, but then I looked at the email once more and said.

“Well worst case scenario it's a prank and I come back home, I don't think though get me arrested for being deceived,”

I was still trying to maintain the same smile I had before he made that comment, he was rather nice about everything else until it came to this.

I just don't understand why he was being this way I even thought that he would be my number one cheerleader when I said I wanted to go back into modeling.

That's night what was supposed to be a beautiful moment which I could look back on over and over again turn the into one of constant worry as I paste in my room going back and forth wondering if I should not even show of at all because this was a really big agency what if the blacklisted me or something I thinking I was trying to sneak my way in with a fake email?

My heart was racing faster and faster as I clung to my phone but then I got it the courage and showed up there the next day and low and behold they were more than happy to see me.

That was the real beginning of my career, I had only been able to land very small jobs before the day and they were often far in between but then I linked and suddenly my schedule was packed.

I thought that at the end of this all seeing how much I was contributing George would be more supportive now that he knew that it wasn't a sham or in his words a waste of time but it seems like the more I earned the more upset he became.

I wasn't quite sure what he wanted me to do I had already told him that I was not interested in the life of being a housewife, I hired a nanny with my own money to prove this point not like I didn't spend time with my children anymore I still spend plenty of time with them but I was also focusing on my future too.

I didn't think that this would ever backfire for me at any point in time and was thriving happily in my job that why I had managed to successfully we answer.

From to time I thought about my ex husband seeing me, he must be regretful seeing that I haven't stopped being pure eye candy in years even after he betrayed me for another person.

Everything was going so well.

Until the unexpected happened.
