Ascension of Billionaire's Ex-wife Chapter 122: Healing bond
The sun had just begun to peek through the curtains when Celine awoke to the soft but insistent knock on her bedroom door. She rubbed her eyes, trying to shake off the grogginess from a restless night, and shuffled to the door.When she opened it, she was met with the sight of Connor, standing there in his pajamas with a hopeful smile on his face. His eyes sparkled with a mixture of sleepiness and excitement.“Mommy! No class today!” he exclaimed. “Can we spend the day with Daddy Harvey?”Celine’s heart sank. She had been dreading this moment, knowing that she had to face the inevitable conversation about Harvey. Her mind raced, trying to find the right words, but nothing seemed adequate.She crouched down to Connor’s level, her face reflecting the anxiety she felt inside. “Connor, sweetheart, we need to talk.”Celine’s heart ached as she looked down at her son, his eyes bright with excitement and hope. The weight of the conversation she knew she needed to have with him was almost too

As Celine held Connor close, feeling his small body tremble against hers, she realized how deeply she had underestimated the impact of these changes on him. The bond between them had always been strong, but she knew now that it had been strained by the many upheavals in their lives."Connor," she whispered, gently stroking his hair, "I want you to know that no matter what, you can always talk to me about how you're feeling. I'm here for you, and I want to make things better."Connor sniffled, pulling back slightly to look up at her with tear-filled eyes. "But why, Mommy? Why does everyone keep leaving? I miss Daddy Franco, and I don’t want Harvey to go too."Celine’s heart twisted at the mention of Franco. The wound of their separation was still fresh, not just for her but evidently for Connor as well. She had tried to shield him from the worst of it, but in doing so, she realized she might have inadvertently left him feeling abandoned and confused."I know you miss them, sweetheart.

Months passed, and Celine threw herself into her work, dedicating all her energy to expanding her business empire, CLN Company. Her relentless drive led to new heights of success, culminating in her receiving an award for being the Most Successful Entrepreneur of the year. The accolades were a testament to her resilience and determination to rebuild her life after severing ties with Harvey.One evening, after the award ceremony, Celine met up with her best friend, Irene, for a quiet dinner. As they sat down, Irene looked at Celine with concern in her eyes."Celine, I’m so proud of everything you’ve accomplished, but I have to ask—are you really okay after everything that happened with Harvey? It’s been months, but I know how much it hurt you to break things off."Celine’s expression darkened, and she clenched her fists. "Harvey is a bad man, Irene," she said, her voice laced with anger."You have no idea how close he came to hurting Connor physically. He’s not just toxic; he’s dangero

Celine’s heart pounded as she stepped through the front door of her home, the familiar creak of the entrance providing a stark contrast to the emotional turmoil she felt inside. The weight of the evening’s events seemed to hang in the air, even as the comfortable confines of her house offered a semblance of sanctuary. The encounter with Franco and Athena had stirred a whirlwind of unresolved feelings and questions that she wasn’t ready to confront. Her footsteps were slow, her mind a tangled mess of old memories and fresh anxieties.Irene followed closely behind, her silence a gentle reminder of the conversation they had left unfinished. Celine had been grateful for her bestfriend’s presence tonight; Irene’s company had provided a buffer against the raw emotions that had surfaced. Yet even with Irene’s support, the encounter with Franco and Athena had left an indelible mark.As Celine moved through the foyer, she saw Martha standing by the staircase. Martha’s expression was a mixture

Celine's heart skipped a beat at the mention of Harvey’s name. The dream had evidently dredged up fears linked to past traumas, and the fact that Connor was mentioning Harvey only amplified her concern. She took a deep breath, trying to stay composed while battling her own tumultuous emotions.“Harvey?” Celine asked softly, keeping her voice calm and steady despite the inner turmoil. “What about Harvey, sweetie?”Connor’s eyes darted around the room, his breathing still uneven. “He was angry, Mommy. He said he’s going to take me away. I don’t want to go with him.”Celine's chest tightened, a mix of panic and sorrow washing over her. She could see the fear etched on her son's face, a reflection of the unresolved conflicts and pain from her past. It was clear that Connor's nightmare was deeply rooted in her own unresolved issues with Harvey, and it pained her to know that her son was suffering because of it.“Harvey can’t take you away, Connor,” Celine said firmly but gently. “He’s not

The next morning dawned with an unusual clarity, the sunlight streaming through the high windows of the mansion, painting the marble floors with delicate patterns. Celine sat at the kitchen table, her hands wrapped around a steaming cup of coffee. She had scarcely slept, her mind a whirlwind of worry and indecision. Martha had called early, her voice trembling but resolute. She would be leaving today to be with her family in their time of need.Celine knew it was the right thing to do—family came first. She had already made arrangements for Martha's immediate financial needs, giving her an advance on her salary and some extra money for assistance. Still, the departure left a significant void. Martha had been more than just a housekeeper and Connor’s nanny; she was a pillar of support in Celine's life, a reliable friend in a whirlwind of corporate pressures and personal challenges.The sound of footsteps approached, and Celine looked up to see Martha standing in the doorway of the kitc

The mention of Franco was like a cold wave crashing over Celine. The name was a reminder of a past she had tried so hard to leave behind, yet here it was, creeping back into her present with every mention. Franco had been a significant part of their lives, and despite his shortcomings, he had been a father figure to Connor—a fact that made the situation all the more complex.Celine swallowed hard, her mind racing as she struggled to maintain her composure. “Connor, Daddy Franco isn’t around anymore. We need to remember that sometimes people leave our lives, and we have to focus on those who are still with us.”Connor’s brow furrowed, and he shook his head, clearly confused and upset. “But Mommy, Harvey is different from Daddy Franco. Daddy Franco is good. He never want to hurt me like Harvey did.”Celine felt a pang of guilt pierce through her. She had hoped to shield Connor from the complexities and pain of their past, but his words brought the reality crashing back. Franco had been

She had always been determined to protect Connor from the worst of their past, but now she faced a direct confrontation with that very past. She knew she had to be strong, to face Harvey with the resolve she had cultivated over the years. With a deep breath, she steeled herself and decided to confront the situation head-on.Stepping out of the kitchen and moving towards the door, Celine’s heart pounded with every step. She paused briefly to check on Connor, who remained blissfully unaware of the chaos outside. His peaceful slumber was a stark contrast to the storm brewing just beyond the building’s entrance.As she reached the door, Celine took another deep breath and braced herself. She had to be firm, resolute, and unyielding. She opened the door and walked outside, the cool night air hitting her like a splash of icy water.Harvey was a sight to behold—his clothes rumpled, his hair askew, and his breath reeking of alcohol. He was shouting, his words a slurred jumble of demands and a

The warmth between them had been growing, and she could feel the connection rekindling after all they had endured.As they prepared for their little picnic, Celine felt a flutter of anticipation.

The sun peeked through the curtains of Celine's small living room, casting a warm glow over the room. It had been a week since they had escaped the warehouse, and the world felt a little brighter. The shadows of Harvey and his men still loomed large, but justice had been served. Harvey was behind bars, facing serious charges, and Celine felt a weight lift from her shoulders.As she watched Connor play with his toys, Celine couldn’t help but smile. He was starting to heal, laughter returning to his voice. Franco had been a steady presence since their ordeal, never leaving their side, supporting them both as they adjusted to a new sense of normalcy.“Can I help you with anything?” Franco asked, entering the room with a freshly brewed cup of coffee for Celine.

Each crunch of leaves beneath their feet felt like a reminder of the danger still lurking behind them. They needed to find safety, but every shadow seemed to whisper of Harvey’s reach.“Are we far enough?” Connor’s small voice broke the tense silence, his eyes wide with fear.Celine glanced back, her heart heavy. “We need to keep moving, sweetheart,” she said, her voice steadier than she felt. “We can’t stop until we’re sure we’re safe.”Franco led the way, his expression grim. “We should find a place to hide,” he suggested, scanning their surroundings. “If Harvey’s men are still after us, we need to stay off the main paths.”Just as they pushed deeper into the trees, a chilling sound echoed through the night—a distant shout that

Celine's world spun as she fought against the hands gripping her arms, but she was outnumbered. The chaos of the struggle turned into a blur, voices merging into a cacophony of shouts and grunts. Connor’s terrified face was imprinted in her mind as she was dragged away from him, but there was no time to think; they were all in danger.“Franco!” she cried, her voice strained as she was pulled further away. Despair flooded her as she caught a glimpse of him grappling with one of Harvey's men. The chaos twisted in her gut as she was shoved into a waiting van, the cold metal biting into her skin.Franco’s eyes met hers for just a moment, a fierce determination in his gaze. “Celine! Connor!” he shouted, but another man lunged at him, blocking his way. The last thing she saw was his struggle as the van doors slammed shut.The van jostled as it sped away, the sound of tires crunching on gravel filling the air. Celine sat in the darkn

Celine’s heart raced as she and Connor dashed deeper into the woods, the shadows closing in around them. Each step felt like a lifeline, but the distant shouts of Harvey’s men echoed through the trees, a haunting reminder of the danger that lurked behind them.“Mom, I’m so tired!” Connor panted, his little legs struggling to keep up.“I know, sweetheart. Just a little further,” she urged, fighting to keep her own panic at bay. They needed to find a safe place to hide. Her mind raced through options, each one fraught with uncertainty.As they rounded a thick cluster of trees, Celine suddenly spotted an old hollowed-out log. “There!” she whispered, pointing it out to Connor. “Get inside!”He climbed in quickly, and she crouched beside him, holding her breath as she listened for the sounds of their pursuers. The shouts grew louder, closer, and she felt the weight of dread settle over her.

The sun began to dip below the horizon, painting the sky in shades of orange and purple as Celine, Franco, and Connor settled into their makeshift hideout. Laughter and lighthearted chatter filled the air, pushing aside the worries that had weighed on them for so long. Celine felt a warmth in her chest, a sense of belonging that had been missing for too long.But as the shadows grew longer, a heavy tension settled over the clearing. Celine’s instincts kicked in, her earlier happiness slipping away. She glanced at Franco, who seemed to feel it too; his smile faded as he scanned the woods around them.“Let’s head back,” he suggested, his voice low. “It’s getting dark, and we don’t want to be out here when we can’t see.”“Can we play for a little longer?” Connor pleaded, his eyes bright with excitement.“Just for a few minutes,” Celine said, hoping to ease her son’s disappoin

The sun peeked through the gaps in the wooden slats of the cabin, casting warm stripes of light across the room. Celine stirred awake, the comforting weight of Connor’s small body pressed against her side. Franco was still asleep in the chair nearby, his face softened in repose. For a moment, Celine simply watched them, her heart swelling with a mix of gratitude and uncertainty. The memories of their past—the pain, the distance—haunted her, but the warmth of the present was undeniable. They were together, fighting for their family. As she shifted, Connor stirred, blinking sleepily up at her. “Morning, Mom,” he mumbled, rubbing his eyes. “Morning, sweetheart. Did you sleep well?” He nodded, stretching like a cat. “Can we play again today?”Celine smiled, brushing a strand of hair from his forehead. “Of course. Maybe we can explore the area a bit. There’s a whole forest out there.”“Can we find a secret fort?” he asked, eyes bright with excitement.“Definitely,” she replied, her hea

The car bumped along the rough dirt road, the trees closing in around them like a protective barrier against the world. Celine glanced at Franco, who sat in the front passenger seat, his jaw set and eyes alert. She felt an unspoken connection between them growing stronger amidst the chaos, a tether forged in the fire of their shared struggle.“Are we almost there?” Connor asked from the backseat, his voice a mix of exhaustion and anxiety.“Just a few more minutes, buddy,” Franco replied, turning slightly to give their son a reassuring smile. Celine noted the warmth in Franco's eyes, a glimmer of hope amid the darkness.“Can we play a game when we get there?” Connor asked, attempting to lift the mood.Celine couldn’t help but smile, her heart swelling with affection. “Absolutely. What do you want to play?”“I want to play hide and seek!” Connor exclaimed, a bright spark lighting up his face.Franco chuckled softly, glancing back at Celine with a hint of pride. “I think we can manage th

The truck rumbled down the uneven logging road, its headlights cutting through the darkness like a beacon of hope. Celine sat beside Connor, her heart still racing as the trees blurred past. The sound of the engine filled the silence, but her mind was a whirlpool of anxiety.“Are we almost there?” Connor asked, his voice small and tired.“Just a little longer,” Celine replied, forcing a smile. She glanced at Franco, who was focused on the road, brow furrowed with concentration. “Keep an eye out for any signs,” Elias said, scanning the sides of the road. “We need to find a place to lay low.”They drove in tense silence, the weight of their situation pressing heavily on all of them. Celine felt the pulse of fear in her veins, a constant reminder that they were being hunted. Suddenly, Franco slowed the truck as they approached a clearing. “There’s the town,” he said, pointing to a cluster of dim lights in the distance. “We should park a little ways out and approach on foot.”“Good idea
