His Mysterious Billionaire Ex-Wife 8
And because Celine doesn’t want Callahan to fall on his horse again, when she tours him around so they can look at the farm full of trees, she lets him join her horse again, as the horse only walks calmly.Callahan looked at the trees, amazed by how they looked so healthy. They seem to have such a lot of fruits that it could already be the main source of exporting fruits from other countries.Though he was really curious, Celine just named it not too big, or it was already failing.“Why was it failing?” he asked.“I don’t know about my parents. Ask them?” She challenged him and arched her brow at him.“It seems to be progressing. This land could actually be the main export in the other country if it was well handled. It could probably be successful.”Celine didn’t expect Callahan would be that interested in their land as if he could see the future of it.“You like businesses?” she asked.“I’m taking a business class,” he smiled.“Hmm, let me guess. Your parents want you to handle the

That afternoon, when her pretend-father showed up, acting like he got busy checking up on the market for the potential client where they could deliver their fruits for the harvest, he went home with an obviously tired face.“Dad,” Celine called, immediately getting into her little drama that he is her father.“Oh, Celine, you’re here." Roel went to Celine and acted like a real father who was so excited to see his daughter that he even smiled.“You’re with him?” He looked at Callahan, who stood formally. “Boyfriend?” he joked, but his strict voice was so believable—how fathers would make a joke about their daughter but glare in a judging way at the boys their daughter has brought home, like how Roel looked at Callahan from head to foot.“Ah, no. He’s only my schoolmate,” Celine explained.“Hmm. Schoolmate. I’m kind of curious why your other schoolmate didn’t come with you, and only he did.” Roel arched his brow as he pulled the chair roughly and occupied it, while Janna put the drink i

Celine couldn’t sleep that night, thinking that Callahan was just in the next room. She was thinking about it, as she couldn’t forget what he told her pretend parents.One thing about Callahan is that he appears too predictable at times and is easy to read, but there are times that he’s suddenly vague. You cannot tell whether he was serious or if he was just saying things to put up a front.But what she knew, right at that moment, was that he had told her about serious matters. She had butterflies. She felt her stomach churn, and it was now carved deeply in her that no matter how many years might come, she wouldn’t forget about it.He would not distract me from studying, and if he wanted something serious with me, he’d ask it right after I graduated. He’s in his second year. Three years later, he’d finally graduate, while I would be stuck with one more year before I would graduate.Is he really serious about what he just said? Well, he mentioned that if he develops feelings for me, he

Celine didn’t know what to feel about Callahan.She doesn’t know whether she wanted Callahan to have those kinds of attraction to her or whether she wanted the deeper one. As of that moment, she just found out that it was just a fleeting attraction he felt for her because he found her hot and sexy on that vacation.It bugged her mind that even when she went back to her room after their talk, it was still occupying her mind.She could sense how much she puts time into thinking about Callahan and the things he felt for her that she wanted deeper between them.Though she might be acting like she doesn’t care about those things and Callahan doesn’t affect her on deeper levels, she knew to herself that she was developing feelings for him.“Good morning. How’s your sleep?” Callahan asked as soon as she woke up and she found him on the table while having a coffee.The breakfast was already served when her mother woke her up, as Janna and Roel were now on the land for the harvest to watch the

“Be safe on your way home. Drive carefully." Roel conversed with Callahan as soon as the afternoon hit and they needed to go back to the city because school was starting again tomorrow.“Yes, sir. And thank you for the fruits,” Callahan said, talking about the fruits that were in the backseat of the car given to him by Celine’s parents.Roel nodded strictly. Janna hugged Celine while caressing her back.“Always remember that we are just one call away, okay?”Celine nodded and saw Callahan, whose hands were at the sides of his waist while waiting for Celine to be done bidding goodbye to her mother.“Okay, mom,” she said, pulling away.Janna kissed the side of her head and smiled as she pulled away as well and looked at Callahan, who nodded at Janna and smiled at her.“Be careful on your way back home,” she said.Callahan nodded as he opened the front seat of his car for Celine. He then jogged to the driver’s seat and slipped himself in while Roel and Janna watched the two as Celine wav

When the girls finally bid goodbye to Callahan as they occupied the other table and kept on glancing at them while giggling, Callahan didn’t really mind it as he was used to how girls mostly behave when he’s around, especially since he knows them. But Celine finds it somehow like she was being mocked.She knew what genuine mockery looked like. Though she hasn’t been mocked in her entire life because she always dresses so sophisticated and elegant when she’s at restaurants and parties, she couldn’t decline when Callahan invited her for dinner. She didn’t think her clothes didn’t fit in the five-star restaurant, which she didn’t really mind because she didn’t think that someone would make fun of her.Callahan shook his head with a smile on his lips as he found them funny while the food was already being served.“I can’t believe she dressed like that in this kind of restaurant. If I were her, I would be uncomfortable the whole time,” she said, hearing the whispers of Callahan’s friend wh

Celine wasn’t really bothered about the girls teasing and mocking her about how she looked, but to be complimented by Callahan, it was on a different level, that if he mocked her, she would get offended for sure.It didn’t leave her mind that even after they left, as the girls approached Callahan again, reminding him of the party tonight and that they would be coming over, Celine didn’t mind it since it was not her business anymore.“So... this is where your place is?” Callahan asked as he walked her to the door because he was insisting on it to make sure that she was safe.“Yes. Why? Planning to come over later and ditch your party for tonight?” Celine lifted her brow in a taunting way, and that made Callahan laugh a little.He shook his head and caressed his nape. “No, of course not. You needed a rest too.”Celine nodded slowly as if it seemed like Callahan was just excited about the party that was mentioned because the woman named Coleen seemed to have some intimate relationship wi

Celine cannot believe what just Callahan said. He was making time for her. When he went with her a month ago to the countryside where her parents are, she started thinking about why he was doing things for her. Though she tried to brush it off as Callahan is really close to the women around him and has seen it with her two eyes, especially since he’s quite popular in the university because of his physique and the way he socializes, she tried to stay on her line without overthinking things despite the attention Callahan would sometimes give her.But now that he was making another time for her, she couldn’t come up with another explanation for his actions now that Callahan materialized in front of the door of her unit when tomorrow came.Dressed in a dress with puffed sleeves, as she let her hair cascade down and half ponytail it, she saw how Callahan looked at her from head to foot as if she were an art he was examining.“Hmm. You dressed up for... a cafe... a study session,” he poin

“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
