Ascension of Billionaire's Ex-wife Chapter 94: Birthday plan
They sipped their drinks, letting the effervescence of the champagne tickle their senses. The sense of triumph was still settling over them, but as the initial excitement of the evening faded, their conversation turned to more personal matters.“You know,” Irene began, her tone shifting to one of thoughtful consideration, “with all the excitement surrounding the company, I almost forgot something important.”Celine looked at her curiously, her brow furrowing slightly. “What’s that?”Irene took a small sip of her champagne before speaking.“Connor’s birthday is coming up next month. I know how busy you’ve been, and I just wanted to remind you.”The mention of her son’s birthday struck Celine like a bolt of lightning. For a moment, she was caught off guard, her mind racing to recall the details. Her face reflected a mix of surprise and concern.“Oh my gosh,” Celine said, her voice tinged with disbelief.“I had completely forgotten about Connor’s birthday! How could I have let that slip

The stress of the past few weeks seemed to melt away as they immersed themselves in the joyful task of planning.The conversation flowed easily, with Irene’s suggestions complementing Celine’s ideas seamlessly.They moved on to the invitations. Irene suggested a design featuring a colorful dinosaur scene with a playful font.“We could include a little message about the ‘Jurassic Adventure’ that awaits. It’ll set the tone for the party and get the kids excited.”Celine nodded in agreement, envisioning the invitation in her mind. “Yes, that’s exactly what I had in mind.And for the party favors, what do you think about giving out dinosaur-themed goodies? Maybe small dinosaur toys or stickers?”Irene’s eyes lit up. “Great idea! We could even add some dinosaur masks or hats for the kids to wear during the party. It’ll make the whole experience more immersive and fun.”They continued their conversation late into the evenin

Months had passed by, and the preparations for Connor's birthday were finally coming to fruition. The hustle and bustle of planning, the excitement of choosing themes, and the anticipation of seeing Connor's joyful face had been the backdrop of Celine's life these past weeks. Now, the big day had arrived, and the house was transformed into a vibrant, dinosaur-themed paradise.Celine stood in the middle of the decorated living room, taking in the sight of colorful banners, balloons, and life-sized dinosaur cutouts. The air was filled with the scent of delicious food, and the sounds of children's laughter echoed through the house. The party was in full swing, and Connor's sixth birthday was already shaping up to be a memorable event.Despite the festive atmosphere, there was a hint of melancholy in Celine's heart. She hadn't invited Franco. It was a difficult decision, but she believed it was for the best. Franco's presence would have complicated things, and she wanted this day to be ab
Ascension of Billionaire's Ex-wife Chapter 97: Rejected proposal
The words hung in the air, and Celine felt a whirlwind of emotions crashing over her. She couldn't speak, her mind racing back to her past with Franco, the pain of betrayal, and the trauma of a marriage that had been based on lies and manipulation. She had worked so hard to rebuild herself, to become an independent woman and a strong mother for Connor. The thought of marriage, even to someone as wonderful as Harvey, filled her with fear and uncertainty.She took a deep breath, feeling the weight of her past bearing down on her."Harvey," she began, her voice trembling. "I... I can't."Harvey's smile faltered, his expression shifting to one of concern."Celine, what's wrong?"Tears welled up in Celine's eyes as she looked at him, her heart aching."I'm so sorry, Harvey. I love you, and you've been amazing to both me and Connor. But I'm not ready to get married.My past with Franco... it left scars that I'm still healing from. He married me just to get my grandfather's inheritance. He u

Celine sighed, leaning into him. "Franco sold me his company to repay the debt. He's moving away with Athena and their baby."Harvey looked at her, his eyes filled with understanding."How do you feel about that?""Conflicted," she admitted. "It's a big step for me, taking over his company. But knowing he's starting a new life... it stings."Harvey nodded, holding her closer."It's okay to feel that way, Celine. You've been through so much. But this is a chance for you to start fresh too. You have the strength to make this work."Celine smiled, grateful for his unwavering support. "Thank you, Harvey. I don't know what I'd do without you.""You'll never have to find out," he said, kissing her forehead. "We'll get through this together."But deep inside, aside from the company, Celine felt hurt and jealous while thinking that Franco and Athena would move away with their baby to another country. She hated her ex-husband for betraying her years ago with Athena, but now she confirmed she w
Ascension of Billionaire's Ex-wife Chapter 99: Trapped
But as he reached the doorway, her voice broke through his resolve once more.“If you leave, Franco, I’ll kill myself! I swear I will! You can’t just abandon me like this!” Athena’s voice was a mixture of hysteria and desperation, and Franco’s heart lurched in his chest.He turned back to face her, his expression a mask of frustration and despair.“Athena, you can’t do this. You can’t threaten me like this. It’s not fair.”She fell to her knees, clutching her stomach, tears streaming down her face. “Please, Franco. I can’t live without you. I’ll end it all if you leave.”Franco’s frustration boiled over. He took a step towards her, his voice rising in desperation.“Athena, stop it! This isn’t the way. You need to let me go.”But Athena couldn’t hear him. She cried out louder, her sobs turning into screams of anguish. Franco felt his resolve weakening, torn between his need to escape and his fear for her safety.“Athena, please…” he begged, his voice breaking. “Let me go.”She shook he

Athena opened her mouth to respond, but Franco turned away, leaving her sitting on the bed. He didn’t want to continue the argument that had been going in circles for months now. The truth was, there was nothing more to say. The decision had been made in his heart a long time ago.He grabbed his car keys and left the house, feeling the weight of his decision with every step. The drive to the office was a blur, his mind racing with thoughts of everything he was about to lose.But amidst the chaos, there was a strange sense of relief. This was the first step toward reclaiming his life, and even though it was painful, it felt necessary.When Franco arrived at the company, he headed straight for the conference room. The important announcement he had to make weighed heavily on his mind.He had rehearsed the speech a hundred times, but now, standing at the door of the room where his employees were already gathered, he felt a wave of doubt crash over him. Could he really do this?He pushed t
Ascension of Billionaire's Ex-wife Chapter 101: Detachment
Franco looked up, shocked by her words. He had anticipated a difficult conversation, but this was not the Celine he had known. There was no empathy, no understanding in her eyes—only a hardened resolve. Her dominance and arrogance were palpable, filling the room with an uncomfortable tension.“Celine,” Franco began, trying to keep his voice steady, “just give me a little more time. I need to pack my things and say goodbye to this place, to my office.”Celine’s expression remained cold as she crossed her arms over her chest.“I can’t wait, Franco. You’ve had enough time. If you’re not out of here soon, I’ll back out of the deal, and you’ll owe me the hundred million dollars you agreed to. You know the consequences if you can’t pay.”Franco sighed, unable to believe how drastically she had changed.The woman who had once been his wife was now treating him like an obstacle, something to be dealt with swiftly and without compassion. He stood up slowly, facing her, hoping to find some trac

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
Ascension of Billionaire's Ex-wife Chapter 168: Hide and seek
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
Ascension of Billionaire's Ex-wife Chapter 167: Safe Place
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
