His Mysterious Billionaire Ex-Wife 27
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

“Okay.” Callahan nodded at her, but there was an air of sarcasm in the way he mentioned it—unconvincing and suspicious.Celine went into her walk-in closet, and she glanced back at Callahan, who stared at his laptop heavily as if there was something on his mind.Celine took her eyes off him and knitted her brows as well. Though she knew that she wasn’t doing anything wrong behind her husband’s back, despite just being married to him in papers, Callahan reacted like he caught her lying and doing infidelity.Is he jealous? But that’s impossible. Why would he get jealous?What happened in Paris suddenly flashed through her mind. Months had passed, and yet she could still not get over it. Though she was just trying to erase it from her mind, acting like she was drunk and couldn’t remember a thing, she was shamelessly hoping sometimes that it would happen again.However, when their next success hit, instead of traveling, Callahan bought a house for the both of them aside from their own apa

Celine’s eyes landed on her hand placement for a while, arched her brow, and took it back to the documents, thinking that Natalie was just being friendly and that she was clingy to Callahan. But she knew the woman was trying to disrespect her.Though she was trying not to show any concern about it, it was perfectly fine for her, and she wasn’t making a big deal out of it, but deep inside, her words for Gaile later were already ready.During university, she was never curious about Coleen when that woman was a bit hostile toward her—unlike Natalie, who was pretending to be friendly—but it showed on the surface the way she looked at her and acted in front of her that she was trying to show off who she is in Callahan’s life.She implied that Natalie had a deeper relationship with Callahan than Celine, who was only married for business.“Please, Callahan,” Natalie said softly, pouting a bit and even leaning her chin to his shoulder as she childishly acted to Callahan, who seemed ready to s

Every bullshit I’ve been doing…? Wow. Is he assuming that? I am cheating behind his back? Is that it? Because it seems like that is what he was trying to insinuate in his words.And who would I’ve been seeing? The client I told him about?This fucker is just really making up stories to flip the real side of the story and to make me look like I am the one who’s hiding something behind his back when it slowly showed that it was him who has the hidden agendas compared to me.As days passed, their relationship worsened. Celine could feel the controlled hatred Callahan has developed toward her like he has been battling a war in his mind and she is the villain. She could feel his wrath day by day, as they were already too different from how she used to.She sighed heavily when she was loaded with work, and Callahan seemed to be going late. She noticed that he was consistently answering calls and would leave immediately. Though she saw how many times she was calling, she didn’t mind, and she

Callahan took her top off and tossed it to the floor. Callahan leveled his face on her chest, kissing each one individually, his tongue swirling on the tip.His other hand crawled on her stomach, drawing lazy circles on her navel, until it went lower and slipped into her underwear. Seconds later, she felt his finger caressing her softness, which made her whimper, and she shut her eyes as she could feel the heat gushing through her whole body.His tongue flicked on the tip of her boob while he was sucking it, and his fingers were now rubbing her expertly.Her mind was already blank. She cannot process everything, and the pleasure is blinding her to the core—it’s making her crazy knowing that the alcohol has made her so hot even more.And she can’t even identify whether it was the champagne that caused her to get drunk or whether it was Callahan’s fault.When Callahan left her chest as his lips were tauntingly kissing her lower, the anticipation for his next move made her arch her back,

As Celine stumbled out of the doctor's office, her mind raced with a rapid flow of emotions. The news of her pregnancy had thrown her world into disarray, leaving her feeling lost and alone.She couldn’t think straight, and for a second, she had to lean on the wall for support, afraid that she would faint.“Are you okay?” A nurse passing by suddenly asked, and Celine had to fake a smile and nod.“Are you sure?”Celine nodded and stood up properly as she tried to regain her composure. “I am alright. Thank you for asking,” she responded. The nurse nodded to her and left her alone, much to her relief.Fuck. What should I do? A child? God, I have been so careless! I shouldn’t have let myself get carried away with my emotions, especially now!Caline was disciplining herself internally. The relationship that she and Callahan have right now is not ideal.Remember that he married you for business, and having a child is not something the two of you discussed! And with Natalie in the picture, y

As the sun's warmth broke through her room, Celine stirred from her restless sleep, her body aching and a dull throbbing pulsating in her head. She had been feeling unwell for the past few days, with persistent nausea and fatigue weighing her down. But she had kept it a secret from Callahan, fearing that it would only add to the tension that had been simmering between them.She tries so hard to act like nothing is wrong. In fact, she wasn’t aware that her morning sickness would be this bad in the early stages of her pregnancy. She was hoping she could buy herself some time to figure things out and decide how to tell Callahan about it. But it was so hard. She couldn’t even focus.Celine reaches for her phone on the bedside table, and her eyes widen at the sight of the number of missed calls and messages she has received. She had put her phone on silent mode since she was barely able to get herself to sleep last night.And now she has even forgotten her alarm.“Fuck,” she cursed. Callah

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.

“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
