Chapter 1 Absent Husband

Christine's P.O.V.Seated before the crackling fire, I lifted my half-filled glass. I had lost count of how many I'd had while the grand feast I had prepared sat untouched, growing cold on the dining table. I tried to smile, but my eyes brimmed with tears, and a wretched lump in my throat made breathing difficult. Only the alcohol dulled the bitterness of this anniversary night.I wasn't even sure why I had bothered making dinner. Just like last year, I would eat alone. I had married young, full of dreams, to a man who was older, attractive, and—so I had believed—would learn to love me in time.I had been a good wife. Thoughtful, sweet… I put in effort, no matter how small, just to win his heart. God knows how hard I tried—for just one smile. But nothing I did was ever enough.On this day every year, I remembered the first thing I had told my husband when we entered this house which was supposed to be our home. I had still been in my wedding dress when he retreated to his study wit

Chapter 2 Accustomed to Failure

Christine's P.O.V.When my little angels finally stopped crying, I grabbed my laptop, placing it on my lap while I rocked their crib with my foot to ensure their sleep remained undisturbed.My fingers flew across the keyboard with precision. I didn't just want a divorce—I needed Elliot to sign an agreement granting me full custody of the children. I didn't care if I didn't receive a single cent. I was even willing to forgo any financial benefits that came with the separation. I wanted nothing from him. He could keep his money, his massive house, and all his luxuries. All I needed was to end this torment and take my babies far away from him. I doubted he even wanted them. He was a terrible father—what would he do with three children? How could he care for them when all he knew how to do was work and ignore us?I was determined to deliver the papers to his office first thing in the morning. I hated visiting him there—each time, I was met with the same coldness and disdain, that fami

Chapter 3 Marriage Is a Coffin, and Each Child a Nail

Christine's P.O.V.Our marriage wasn't just a failure—it had been arranged by our parents long before I even knew I would marry Elliot. I had heard of him for years, and, embarrassingly, I had admired him. Not just because he looked like something out of an action movie with his towering height, broad shoulders, and the perfect balance of sharp and refined features, but because I had been fascinated by the idea of marrying a man as intelligent as him, someone capable of running such a vast empire.I had feared I wouldn't be enough for him.And I was right. At least, not for him. But if there was one thing I knew for certain, it was that I had never stopped trying—I had always shown him my heart and my determination.My first attempt to leave him, the first real wound to my heart, came when I discovered there was already another woman in his heart. He kept photos and mementos—things he would take out whenever he felt nostalgic. Yvette. The only woman who could turn that cold, emotio

Chapter 4 No Time for Trivialities or Well Wishes

Christine's POVI spent the entire morning scrubbing the kitchen floor trying to remove the dried, crusted remains of last night's dinner. With a heavy heart, I picked up the filthy divorce papers, only for them to crumble in my hands. The food had ruined them.Remembering last night's failure only fueled my frustration. Talking to that man was impossible."I hate you, Elliot Manning! I hate you! I despise you! I abhor you!" I screamed, my voice shaking with fury. I wanted to flip the table, kick over the chairs, grab my babies, and walk out of this miserable house forever. "You're a son of a bitch. Damn the day my parents chose you as my husband.""But karma's a bitch, you bastard," I muttered, throwing the ruined mess of food into the trash violently. "When it finally catches up to you, I hope I'm there to laugh in your face. You'll end up alone and miserable because with that shitty personality of yours, even your own mother couldn't stand you."Just as the pressure in my chest

Chapter 5 The Illegitimate Son of the CEO

Christine's P.O.V."Sometimes, when someone abandons us, the longer they're gone, the more our mind plays tricks on us," Robert said, his voice heavy with nostalgia. "We start to forget all the bad things and miss them for the little kindness they once showed."I knew exactly who he was talking about—that vile woman, Yvette."Elliot thinks she was the best thing that ever happened to him because he doesn't remember all the damage she caused," Robert continued. "The more I tried to keep him away from that woman, the more he clung to her. Sometimes, I wonder if I made a mistake.""Please, don't think about that," I murmured, holding his warm hand between mine."I can't help it. Because in the process, I ruined your life too." His eyes glistened with unshed tears, his pain raw.I forced a gentle smile and shook my head."You gave me a good husband, a brilliant man who gave me three beautiful children. How can you say that? Everything is—""Don't divorce him."My lies hadn't been

Chapter 6 A Bad Son, A Worse Husband

Christine's P.O.V."Turn it off!" Robert roared, his voice thick with fury. The nurse, her hands trembling, scrambled to shut off the television.Slowly, I turned to look at him. His face had gone pale, his breathing uneven. I sniffled and forced a weak smile even as fat tears clung to my lashes, refusing to fall. My chest felt hollow and cold… empty. It was as if my heart had finally given up, beating its last before withering away inside me."Christine…" Robert's voice trembled with grief. How could it not? His own son had chosen to be with her instead of standing by his father's side. I swore to myself that I would never forget this moment. Not just for me, but for Robert as well."Don't say anything," I whispered, squeezing his hand gently. "You need to rest.""I can't rest when my son—!""Please, don't get worked up," I soothed, caressing his cheek. "The only thing that matters is your health. Do you understand? Don't think about anything else.""Christine… I'm so sorry." H

Chapter 7 Close to Freedom

Christine's P.O.V."While you were out celebrating your newfound fatherhood with Yvette, your own father's condition worsened," I said, my voice devoid of emotion. Empty. Broken. Corrupted. The way Elliot's gaze darkened told me he had noticed the change in me too. "I wasn't surprised that you abandoned me for Yvette—I've long since grown used to that. But turning your back on your own father for her? I never thought you could be that selfish. After all, he was always good to you. Unlike you, he actually had a heart."His jaw tightened. He swallowed his rage, just as he always did, keeping himself in check. He never wanted me to have a piece of him—not his love, not even his anger."I don't know what you're talking about. Yvette and I—""You don't?" I scoffed, scrolling through my phone. "That's surprising. Your little outing was all over the news."I held up my phone, swiping through the images of his betrayal."Let me find the video of you discovering you're a father. That was

Chapter 8 The Price of Freedom

Christine's P.O.V.Elliot signed the divorce papers on the reception desk. When he handed them back to me, Yvette was already behind him, her hand stroking his back, her eyes filled with sympathy—for him. As for me, she pretended I didn't exist."Believe it or not, I hope you're happy," I said as I passed the documents to Jemma, who juggled them while trying to balance the babies in her arms. "Because if you're satisfied with your new life, it means you'll be too occupied to come back and ruin mine.""Don't worry," Yvette cut in, clearly irritated that I was still speaking. For the first time, she actually acknowledged my existence. "He'll be very happy with me. Just as he always should have been. You were the one who made him miserable.""Oh, look at that! A win-win situation," I shot Elliot a mocking glance. "I'll be happy without you, and you'll be happy with her."I took a step back, my voice turning sharp. "I was going to ask if you wanted to say goodbye to your kids, but—wha

Chapter 9 The Heart Remembers

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

Chapter 10 Don’t Ever Look for Me Again

Elliot's P.O.V."That's none of your business," Christine replied, halting in her tracks. "But since we're no longer married, going back to my parents' house isn't exactly an option, especially not with three children. By now, they probably see me as a disgrace to the family. So no, I won't be returning to them."A strange, uneasy feeling settled in my chest. "What will you do? Where will you go?"She didn't answer immediately. The longer she stayed silent, the more that small flicker of concern grew inside me, spreading like wildfire."You never cared when we were married," she finally said, her tone light and mocking. "I could've died in that house, and you wouldn't have noticed until my body started to rot a month later. Why don't we stick to the usual routine and pretend I never heard your questions?"My patience snapped. "Just leave already.""There it is," she said with a smirk. "That's the cruel, indifferent man I married." With a dramatic bow, she turned and walked away,
