His Mysterious Billionaire Ex-Wife 20
Despite the tremendously expensive gifts she received from her family, what she was only anticipating was the small congratulations from Callahan.She was looking at the time as it was already ticking, which was almost midnight, but she wasn’t asleep yet as she was in her room in their real house at the Everson Estate.Celine’s eyes were almost falling while she stared at her phone. She was already on the verge of just texting him, but she didn’t want it to shove into his throat that she was trying to get his attention.When her eyes were completely closed but as her phone rang, she immediately pulled herself up and looked at the screen of her phone and saw Callahan requesting a video call!She immediately got up, looked at herself in the mirror, combed her hair, made sure that her face was perfectly fine, and answered the call before it might turn off.“Oh, you’re still up,” Callahan said as he immediately showed the camera that he was in the office because he was still wearing his b

When tomorrow came, Celine didn’t hesitate to meet Callahan. Though her hopes rose as soon as Callahan revealed on the call last night that he had an offer that was business-related, she still didn’t want to show Callahan that it disappointed her, and she wasn’t that interested at all.But the feelings she has for Callahan have been so deep that she doesn’t mind giving him what he wants from her. She doesn’t mind being in his world, despite the things she really wants.Dressed in a coat with an inner black dress that hugged her figure, Celine showed up in the restaurant. Callahan had told her where they would both meet up.And to see Callahan waiting for her, dressed in his usual office get-up, she realized how much Callahan had changed from his college physique to his manly stance now.Her heart was thumping when she walked toward the table, while Callahan stood as soon as their eyes met.“Celine,” he called as his eyes looked at her with fascination.The way Celine carries herself i

Celine cannot believe what is happening in her life. But she likes it so much. She didn’t regret anything about it, as she was so hopeful that Callahan would probably have feelings for her the way she had silently liked him since her university days.As her things were properly arranged in Callahan’s room, she noticed how his black and gray things were suddenly invaded by her own things. Though she loves neutral colors as well, she only wears white, gray, and black, which blend so well with Callahan.Her style has always been old-money vibes. She likes dressing up like she is part of royalty events all the time because of the way she carries herself.Callahan was sitting on the other side of the room with his laptop as Celine went out of the bathroom after showering.Callahan took a glance at her once. When he saw her in her bathrobe, she saw how Callahan got distracted for a bit.“Don’t mind me. Just do your thing,” he said.Celine chuckled as she walked to the walk-in closet. “I sho

Celine is aware of how influential her family is. But to know that the big client Callahan was eyeing for how many months—he even ended up marrying her just to get the trust of Mr. Clarkson—she cannot believe that he is just one of her brother’s employees.“He works for Chance?” Celine elaborated, as she could not digest what Gaile had told her.“Mr. Clarkson is one of the board members of your brother’s company. Though he plays an important role since he also contributes heavily to the business of your brother, Chance is still the CEO.”Celine was mind-blown by how her brother seemed to be working thoroughly on his business. But she knew that out of all her brothers, it was Lucas who was the most competitive. She was a bit thankful that Mr. Clarkson was under Chance, though she could smell that once Chance found out what she was doing, she would be scolded for sure.“Do me a favor and tell Mr. Clarkson to approve Callahan’s offer. I want him to get him. Prioritize him,” Celine said w

Our business. It was only a few words on the spur of the moment, but it meant a lot to Celine that Callahan considers her part of his life—his milestone. And now that she has set a goal to lend him a hand, she would never waste that opportunity to be with him all throughout the journey of his goals until she watched him at the top and she’s clapping for him.Celine noticed how the smile kept on kissing his lips while he was already driving. His eyes were twinkling, and he would glance at Celine from time to time while they were already heading to the restaurant they both liked.“If Mr. Clarkson approves my project with him and he is willing to work with me, we’ll leave the country for a vacation.”Celine couldn’t believe what she just heard. Callahan is too happy that he is now planning a vacation with her.“Really?” Celine chuckled as she couldn’t suppress the smile on her lips as well.“Yes. Why not? I think you would like Paris. I could see it in you. You don’t enjoy the loudness o

Celine packed her things because she was so excited to go to Paris. Not because it was her first time—but because she was going to be with Callahan.She wanted to enjoy a trip with him because Callahan had been very busy for a few days since Mr. Clarkson approved him. It seems it motivates him so much to work that he sometimes forgets to rest—or even sleep. Celine wanted Callahan to relax, at least.They booked a ticket and rode an airplane—which was Celine’s first time as well—as she was used to their private jet and being alone all the time.Though they were sitting in the first class, it was still new for Celine to be not just with one—but more on a plane.She ordered some champagne like she used to do on her travels. Callahan joins her for a drink as they continue to discuss business matters.“I will direct you into the company since you already have your own share because the land is quite successful. You are hitting more than the target sometimes. It’s astonishing how you handle

Celine laughed. To hear that from Callahan was the funniest thing, as she remembered how Callahan looked at her during that vacation, and it didn’t leave her mind because during the night she would fantasize about him when she was in university, that scene would always be where her fantasies started.“Really?” Celine asked, laughing.“Ahuh, you seemed less interested.” Callahan arched his brow while there was a smile flashing on his lips as well.Celine is used to the first impression of her; it seems she’s so detached from things because she rarely shows emotion as if she were not interested. That’s why hearing it from Callahan didn’t shock her anymore.“What? You are intimidated by me when during your university days you have a lot of fun with different girls?” She arched her brow tauntingly and chuckled.Callahan’s eyes widened. He won’t lie to himself that he was a womanizer back during his university life, but he never tried anything on Celine as he couldn’t see her, who seemed i

What happened in Paris never left Celine's mind, despite being busy again because of their business. It was progressing with each month that passed.Callahan has been so hard working that it showed at night how he would spend more time in his office and would continue at his penthouse, as he would sometimes sleep late, and Celine would see him falling asleep in his seat.But that hard work paid off when their company hit one of the biggest sales that year, as they marketed a lot of products in different countries and got big investors as well.Celine knew that it wasn’t just Callahan’s hard work that made the business bloom; it was also her connection as an Everson that contributed greatly to the company’s growth.Callahan also gave Celine her own position in the company, a high-ranking position. It is okay for Celine despite the loaded work because Gaile would make things easy for her.Though she would think sometimes that it is unfair to Callahan, who seems to be working so hard, sh

“Just follow my order, Gaile. It’s fine. I’ll handle Celine,” Chase muttered, speaking into his phone with a serious tone laced in his voice.Celine paused, overhearing her brother’s voice as she entered the study. They had only just arrived at her parents’ house, surprising everyone. Now Calliope was happily entertaining her grandparents, and their laughter was echoing all over the house. The house sounded so lovely after a long time, as her parents say.Celine’s brow furrowed as she approached Chase, her footsteps barely making a sound. “What was that about?” she asked, trying to keep her tone casual. But there was an undeniable control to her voice.Chase turned to face her; his expression tinged with annoyance. “I heard what happened to you and Calliope earlier,” he said, crossing his arms as if bracing himself for a confrontation. “Don’t even try to deny it. That woman’s little stunt wasn’t just harmless teasing, and you know it.”Celine sighed, the memory of Katherine’s condesce

It was a bright afternoon when Celine and her three-year-old daughter, Calliope, stepped into a clothing store after landing back in the country. The sun filtered through the glass storefront, illuminating its glow on the rows of high-end clothing. They were nothing like the high-end stores she had been but that would work for now. Celine had made a big decision to leave Europe, and for her, it felt like coming back home. After what seemed like forever, she was finally reuniting with her family who had missed her and Calliope dearly.As they entered, Celine adjusted her button-down shirt, its crisp white fabric a stark contrast against her sun-kissed skin. It was casual yet expensive, typical of her style. Calliope, however, looked less like the daughter of a woman with good taste and more like a little girl who just didn’t care. She was still wearing her cozy pajamas—soft, colorful, and perhaps more suited for bedtime than shopping. They had flown in on the family’s private plane

Celine was just a few days away from giving birth. Her anxiety mixed with anticipation, creating a constant chaos of emotions within her. The villa in Europe had become her safe space. It was a place where she could hide from the world and prepare for the arrival of her baby. She was not expecting any visitors, so when the doorbell rang, she felt nervous.There was a part of her that knew that the only possible people to stand in front of her villa were non other than her siblings but perhaps this was the feeling of someone who was hiding, in constant fear of being found. C’mon, Celine. Are you really thinking that Callahan will stand outside your door? He must have been partying the past year to celebrate being single. Or maybe he was already married to his ex. Just thinking about it makes her heart in so much pain. It’s been nine months but the pain doesn’t feel like it was being lessened. In fact, it gets worse as days pass. As she opened the door, her heart skipped a beat. Ther

The soft hum of the ocean was the only sound that broke the peaceful silence of the small villa that she was in. Celine had chosen this quiet town in Europe, hoping to find some peace during her pregnancy. She had asked Gaile to choose a place where Callahan would never think to look for her. It wasn’t that she hoped he would come searching, but she knew her family would try to find her.Celine had hidden her identity for so long, living under her mother’s maiden name to escape the pressure of being an Everson. She had hoped to live a peaceful life, away from the scrutiny and expectations. But as she stood at the door of her villa, looking at the worried faces of her three siblings, she knew that peace was about to be disrupted.She was already five months into her pregnancy.Lucas, her eldest brother, was the first to speak. His eyes immediately landed on her rounded stomach. “So, it was true. You are indeed pregnant,” he said, his voice a mix of coldness, and yet Celine knew that h

Callahan’s office was masked in a heavy silence, interrupted only by the steady ticking of the clock on the wall. His new secretary, a tall woman with a no-nonsense demeanor, stood in front of his desk, her expression a mix of concern and frustration.“Mr. Simmons, we still haven’t been able to locate Mrs. Simmons’ whereabouts,” she reported, her voice strained.Callahan leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples. It had been a month since Celine told him she would be divorcing him. He could still remember that day vividly. Her words had left him frozen, unable to process the finality in her voice. If it hadn’t been for Natalie’s incessant nagging, he might never have snapped out of his blankness.“Keep looking,” he said finally, his voice hoarse. “I need to find her.”“Yes, sir,” the secretary replied, turning to leave. She paused at the door, her eyes softening with pity before she exited.Callahan’s mind drifted back to the moment when Celine had stood in front of him, her eyes

After she went to the car, she didn’t utter a thing. The guards were all silent and simply drove, not even sure where they should go. They were waiting for her signal, her instructions as to where they should go.However, knowing that Celine hadn’t called for them to drive her for so long now, the guards sensed her distress.As the car moved through the city, Celine felt a wave of nausea wash over her. She pressed a hand to her mouth, trying to fight it off, but it was no use. “Stop the car,” she managed to say, her voice barely above a whisper.The guards exchanged worried glances. “Miss Everson, are you okay?”“I need to get out. I feel sick,” she said urgently.They quickly pulled over in front of the Grand Luxe, one of the most renowned and expensive restaurants in the city. The upper management knew Celine well due to her Everson family ties, though they were unaware of her hidden identity and her marriage to Callahan Simmons.The doorman, recognizing her immediately, rushed to o

Callahan stared at her with a mix of emotions that Celine couldn’t decipher. One moment, his face softened, but the next, it was as if he was a stranger, his expression unreadable. He felt foreign to her, and that scared her.Her eyes locked with his, hoping he would say something, anything. She hoped he would believe her, and side with her. She had never asked him to listen before. Callahan used to surprise her, but now, she didn’t know him anymore.‘Please. Just tell me you believe me, and I’ll hold on. Just tell me you’ll do something, and I won’t let go,’ she silently wished to herself, afraid to voice her thoughts, scared she would be disappointed. Her heart was beating rapidly. She was aching, aching so bad that she wanted it to stop. She waited for him to speak. And he did. Only to break her heart.“Are you sure? Maybe you are mistaken. Natalie didn’t have any reason to do that,” he whispered. She saw a glimpse of a different emotion on his face, but her heart was already s

“Miss Celine, your brother has been asking things about you. It looks like what Troy said really made Sir Chance think that something was happening to you when he saw you at the hospital.”Celine scratches the side of her head as she hears what Gaile reported to her after she received her call.A long sigh escaped her lips. She knows that Chance is really pushy in terms of that, and she knows how protective her family can get.“Just send him a fake file of my doctor's visit. Just makeup something like a mild headache or anything. Just do anything to make him think that nothing was wrong.”Celine heard all of the reports that Gaile stated, even the news about the investor that Natalie claimed to have settled through her family connections.“Are you sure you are not going to tell him about how you were the one who made that investment possible?” Gaile asked, her tone hanging.She didn’t bother to correct it since Callahan didn’t even bother to ask her. And now that Gaile was asking her

The office lounge was quiet; the soft hum of the microwave was the only sound. Celine stood by, staring at her sandwich as it rotated inside. She was lost in thought, her mind swirling with the secret she was carrying—the baby she hadn’t yet told Callahan about.Days have passed, and the moment she realized she was pregnant, her body appears to have begun reacting swiftly to the news. She was unaware that the process would be so challenging at such an early stage, and she was concerned about the length of time she would have to conceal her pregnancy.Things had been harder. Even waking up early was hard, but she was trying her best just so she wouldn’t miss any meetings ever again. She just doesn’t want to have more trouble with Callahan.The door opened, and Callahan walked in, followed closely by Natalie. Celine’s heart skipped a beat, but she kept her face impassive, her cold demeanor masking her inner chaos.These days, Natalie keeps appearing at the office, as if she were also wo
