Chapter 9 The Heart Remembers

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

"Mr. Manning." Christine greeted me as if I were a complete stranger, her voice calm and detached. Then, she turned her attention to Yvette, who clung possessively to my arm. "Mrs. Manning. My sincerest condolences."

"I hope your presence here is brief," Yvette interrupted, feigning politeness. "Surely, you understand that you're no longer welcome in this circle."

Christine let out a soft, amused chuckle, almost as if Yvette's attitude was nothing more than a mild inconvenience.

"I know, Mrs. Manning."

"Stop calling her that," I snapped, shaking Yvette's hand off my arm. "I told you—I don't want a scene. Not here. Not today."

"I'm not here to cause a scene," Christine said smoothly. "I'm simply paying my respects to the only woman who's ever truly mattered to you. I don't see why that bothers you." A sardonic smile played on her lips, though I could see the tightness in her jaw. She was angry, but she hid it well. "I only came to say goodbye to an old friend. Afte

  • My Billionaire Ex Begs: Return with Our Triplets   Chapter 100 Truth or Dare

    Lucas's P.O.V.I had to admit, watching Elliot holding Christine completely off the ground with just his hands was impressive. Her arms and legs were curled up, and somehow, he still managed to carry her effortlessly. How the hell was he that strong?Didn’t people say the truly crazy ones had unnatural strength? What if he was the real psycho, and Derek was just a poor victim?…Nah. No way. The only thing insane about Elliot was his piss-poor attitude.He kissed Christine’s cheek before gently lowering her to the ground, and as I got swarmed by the four pint-sized monsters, I realized I was jealous.Jealous of the way Christine looked at Elliot—with love and admiration.Jealous that Elliot knew exactly who he wanted and never wavered. Despite everything, he stayed true to her, never settling for someone else.Jealous of what they had."I think he’s dead," Gerard announced when he noticed I wasn’t moving anymore."Only my soul," I mumbled, my eyes fixed on the ceiling with quie

  • My Billionaire Ex Begs: Return with Our Triplets   Chapter 99 Elliot’s Lost and Evil Twin

    Lucas's P.O.V."I don’t know everything, but the people who’ve worked with Derek since he was admitted say he’s here because of a ‘legal loophole’," Carly said, lightly scratching the cafe table with her fingernail.We had decided to leave the psychiatric hospital, and I took her to a nearby cafe. Her friends came too, but she chose to sit with me and talk about Elliot’s long-lost supposedly evil twin."A legal loophole?" I echoed, frowning just as the waitress arrived with Carly’s food and my coffee. I paused, not exactly thrilled that even the server might overhear this insane story."Yeah. I don’t have access to the files in that wing, but I’ve heard that Derek used to be really violent. Apparently, something involving a girl went terribly wrong, and he ended up… ‘taking someone’s life’. He was about to turn eighteen, which meant prison for life or even the death penalty. So, his lawyer argued insanity. Convinced the jury and the judge that Derek was mentally unwell and needed p

  • My Billionaire Ex Begs: Return with Our Triplets   Chapter 98 Derek Manning

    Lucas's P.O.V."Where the hell are you?" Elliot snapped through the phone. His tone was sharp and furious, just like always. I had to admire how he kept his emotions buried beneath that cold, composed surface. The only feelings he ever showed me were irritation and contempt."Worried about me?" I tried to sound playful like usual, but honestly? I felt like crap. I had spent the whole day trying to shake off all the self-destructive thoughts swirling in my head. My heart and mind were split in two, and I was starting to feel like I couldn’t breathe."Christine’s the one who is actually worried," he hissed. I was relieved we were miles apart, because if we’d been face-to-face, he probably would’ve punched me by now. "You disappeared.""I had things to take care of…" I muttered, staring up at the psychiatric facility in front of me. Anxiety twisted in my stomach, and my heart pounded. It was almost lunchtime, and I knew Carly would be coming out with her colleagues any minute."Like

  • My Billionaire Ex Begs: Return with Our Triplets   Chapter 97 I'm Not a Toy

    Lucas's P.O.V.My head throbbed. The conversation with Carly kept spinning in circles, and I still had no idea how to face Bernice. I closed the door to my apartment and leaned against it, trying to breathe without hyperventilating.It was so quiet I thought Bernice had already left. I made my way to the bedroom, intending to apologize for everything that happened last night. At the very least, I wanted to offer to take her home and, of course, stop at a pharmacy along the way for a morning-after pill because... yeah. Even though I always carried a condom in my wallet—well… I hadn’t used it. How could someone with as much experience as I forget something that important? I wanted to blame the alcohol, but deep down, I knew there was more to it.I had wanted to feel all of her—her breath, her scent, her warmth. I didn’t want anything between us, no barriers, no distance. I wanted to drown in her. Even just thinking about it again made my heart race and my hands tremble, aching to touc

  • My Billionaire Ex Begs: Return with Our Triplets   Chapter 96 Two Women, One Choice

    Lucas's P.O.V.Before I could say a word, Carly walked in, taking advantage of the fact that I was completely frozen in place."What are you doing here? How did you even find me?" I asked, clearly on edge. I didn’t even have a glass of water to offer her. Before I realized it, she had already taken a seat at the small dining table."Well, it wasn’t hard to track down Lucas Manning. Your name carries weight, and it always will," she said with a shy smile, folding her hands in her lap. There was something in her eyes I couldn’t quite read. I sat across from her and waited. "I don’t know if... Christine told you...""That you’re married?" The words came out sharp and bitter, even though I knew it wasn’t really her fault. "Yeah. I know."She quickly hid her hand, the one with the wedding ring. Her gaze drifted over the table as she sighed with a touch of sadness."I’m sorry. You’re a good guy, and I felt like I owed you this conversation..." She tried to smile, but it only twisted in

  • My Billionaire Ex Begs: Return with Our Triplets   Chapter 95 A Night Tangled in a Playboy’s Sheets

    Lucas's P.O.V.At first, her lips felt stiff and unsure, as though she had never kissed a guy before. But then she began to follow my lead, letting the kiss deepen and grow more intense—just the way I liked it. The moment my tongue slipped into her warm mouth, something inside me ignited.Her small hands rested against my chest while mine roamed freely across her body. Before I knew it, I was on top of her, trying not to crush her beneath me as I slid my hands under her skirt and caressed the lace of her panties. Her breathy moans were like music in my ears, and the beast inside me—the one starved for sex—fully awakened.How long had I denied myself the pleasure of a woman, holding onto the foolish hope that Carly would someday be mine? I had suppressed my hunger for so long, but now that there was no reason to resist, I didn’t care that Bernice was my first indulgence.And I could say it honestly—I wanted her. Right then and there, I craved her taste, the heat of her skin, and the
