Chapter 11 Barely Covered

Author: Sathara
Christine's P.O.V.

No one had warned me how hard it would be to be a single mother to three little angels. The joy of winning my freedom faded quickly as my savings dwindled and job opportunities remained scarce. I thought that once I was far away from Elliot, I'd stop crying at night, but I was wrong.

When my babies were asleep, I locked myself in the tiny bathroom of my cramped apartment—the only place I could afford—and cried. I cracked my knuckles, racked my brain, and tried to figure out how I would put food on the table the next day.

Many times, I considered calling my damned ex-husband and asking for money for his children, but every time my fingers hovered over the dial button, my pride stopped me. That same pride kept me going, forcing me to survive without him.

All it took was seeing his smug face plastered across magazine covers to remember why I hated him. His new status as a wealthy divorcé had made him the number one most eligible bachelor—desired, envied, and untou

  • My Billionaire Ex Begs: Return with Our Triplets   Chapter 30 Doomed Before It Even Began

    Christine's P.O.V.Today was the big day—the trial runway where we would showcase some of the dresses and, of course, my first evaluation. When I first wanted to step into the fashion world, it wasn't exactly as a model. Ever since I was a child, I had loved sketching dresses and using scraps of fabric to make clothes for my dolls. As I grew up, that passion never changed.That was what I truly wanted—to create beautiful, custom-made clothing that suited a person's height and body shape. I didn't want to mass-produce anything. I wanted to craft unique pieces. Maybe if I got involved in modeling, Serena would eventually see that I had more potential than just walking down a runway."I'm surprised you've made it this far… You actually survived the whole month. And not only that, you look thinner—though not thin enough," sneered the blonde bitch that I couldn't stand. "Here, this is for you."Delaney held out a pair of heels—taller than the ones the others were wearing. I immediately

  • My Billionaire Ex Begs: Return with Our Triplets   Chapter 29 Taking Care of Mom

    Darius Rennard's P.O.V.I stepped into my apartment, the once cold and lifeless space now transformed ever since Christine and the kids had moved in. Convincing her to stay hadn't been easy—her trust in men was nearly non-existent after everything she'd been through.The first time Christine had walked into my classroom, she had been impossible to ignore. She seemed lost and vulnerable yet undeniably beautiful. I had been surprised to learn she already had three children, and even more so when I discovered they were triplets. They were well-mannered, bright kids—sometimes more attentive than my own students.Still, one thing weighed heavily on my conscience—I had known for a long time about Christine's job at the club. The truth was, I had spent many nights there, watching her from the shadows. I always sat in a secluded corner with the perfect view of the stage, and when her set ended, I left. I had no interest in anyone else.At first, I convinced myself it was just curiosity. Ma

  • My Billionaire Ex Begs: Return with Our Triplets   Chapter 28 A Woman's Worst Mistake

    Christine's P.O.V.Yes, yes, I was just as shocked by what I was about to do. It felt like asking a fish to climb a tree in front of a panel of judgmental chimpanzees.Peeking through the curtain, I spotted Darius sitting beside Serena. The arrogant blonde model was standing nearby, pretending to be uninterested, but I knew the witch was just waiting for me to humiliate myself."How much longer do you plan on hiding? Serena isn't exactly known for her patience," the assistant behind me muttered."How do you expect me to walk out like this?! This isn't clothing—it's scraps of fabric stitched together from leftovers!" I hissed through gritted teeth, looking down at what she dared to call a dress. The enormous cut-out exposed my entire midsection, and the skirt barely covered a fraction of my thighs.I wore more than this when I danced at the club."It's the standard outfit for all new model candidates," she explained apologetically. "There's no choice now, so go shine!"The traito

    Christine's P.O.V.I didn't cry myself into oblivion. I didn't collapse on the café table and beg the heavens to stop playing with my heart. I just sat there, staring out the window while silent tears slipped down my cheeks. No sobs, no whimpers—just a heavy, suffocating silence.I lifted my gaze toward the overcast sky, and it seemed like it was about to rain."When I was little, my grandmother told me that one day, a man would come along and light up the stars for me," I murmured. Darius sat across from me, his hands wrapped around his coffee cup, his eyes fixed on me silently. "When I married Elliot… I thought he was the one. But all he did was set fire to my world and burn me down to the bone."After hearing me break down in the taxi, Darius had suggested we meet at a nearby café. He had arrived first, and as soon as I stepped out of the car, he had rushed to pay the fare before pulling me into a protective embrace. However, his warmth didn't reach me. It didn't seep into my sk

    Elliot's P.O.V.After stopping by the company's IT department to make sure all the slanderous posts about Christine had been erased, I decided to head home.I had warned Yvette that I would be keeping Martin for the rest of the day. She had tried to tag along, but while I took my son on a tour of the company, she had been left behind at the house. If she thought she would become a part of my life again, she was delusional.I had already contacted my lawyers. It was clear—I was taking Martin away from her permanently. I would make sure she never saw him again. She was an unfit mother, and proving it to the court would be easy."Look, Dad! It's Ms. Christine! The triplets' mom!" Martin shouted from the back seat, pressing himself against the window.My head snapped up as I scanned the street. Then, I saw her. She was sitting in a taxi, looking utterly drained, her face pale. Something was wrong.Without a second thought, I pulled over and stepped out, ready to call her name. What w

  • My Billionaire Ex Begs: Return with Our Triplets   Chapter 25 Lies to Break a Heart

    Christine's P.O.V.I asked Jemma to watch over my boys while they slept, insisting that I just needed some air and wouldn't go far. She eyed me suspiciously but didn't ask any questions.After walking a few blocks, I hailed a taxi. Just saying the address out loud felt like a betrayal of my own pride. The entire ride, I turned over my conversation with Jemma in my head, ignoring Rennard's incessant messages. He seemed desperate for a response.I had made up my mind. If there was even a chance that I could be with Elliot again, I was going to take it.The car rolled to a stop in front of the house I had once called home. If I was truly going to try again with him, one of my conditions would be a new house—there was no way I could live here again, surrounded by ghosts of the past.Stepping out of the taxi, my legs trembled, but I held my head high, biting my lip to keep myself steady. I knocked three times, and from the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains shift—someone was peeking
