The living room lights were still on even though it was past midnight. Nico sat on the sofa, laptop on his lap, a serious look on his face. He was reviewing reports and presentations for a new project at work. Although he is tired, there is a burning passion in his heart. He wants to prove to himself - and to Celine - that he can rise to the occasion.

As he was typing, he heard soft steps coming from the kitchen. Nico lifted his head and saw Celine walking slowly with a sleepy face. Her slightly messy hair made her look different from usual, more relaxed, more human.

Celine did not notice Nico's presence in the living room. She went straight to the kitchen to get a glass of mineral water. After pouring the water into the glass, she turned around with a slightly hurried step. But suddenly, she winced in pain.

"Ouch!" Celine exclaimed softly. Her leg was sprained and her body lost its balance.

    That morning, the house was busy as usual. Celine was already preparing to return to the office after spending a few days at home for Calvin. She wore an elegant black blazer suit, showing the aura of a firm and confident CEO. Meanwhile, Nico was also preparing to leave for his office. "Is Calvin awake?" asked Celine as she descended the stairs. The nanny standing near the kitchen replied, "Yes, ma'am. He's having breakfast." "Good. Take good care of him, I might be home a bit late," Celine said firmly before taking her handbag. Nico, who was standing at the door holding the car keys, looked at Celine for a while. "I can take you to the office if you want. My car is empty," he offered in a casual tone, although inwardly he felt a distance between them. Celine looked at him for a moment, hesitating. However, remembering that this was a contract marriage and they did have to look harmonious for Calvin's sake, she nodded. "Alright. But hurry, I don't want to be late." The rid

    Celine was focusing on the presentation she had to deliver next week when the door to her room suddenly opened without a knock. She lifted her face, her eyebrows raised as a middle-aged woman walked in with a confident stride. "Mom?" Celine could hardly believe it. Her former mother-in-law, Maria, stood there with that stern expression she knew so well. Maria smiled faintly, although her eyes seemed full of determination. "Celine, we need to talk. This is important." Celine immediately stood up, slamming the document in her hand onto the table. "What are you doing here? This is my office, and you weren't invited." Maria stepped closer, ignoring Celine's anger. "I came because of Nico. Because of you. And because of Calvin." "If this is about Nico, I'm not interested in hearing about it," Celine cut in coldly. "And I don't have time for this chat. Please leave before I call security." However, Maria did not budge. The woman approached Celine's table, looking at her sharply.

    Celine opened the mansion door slowly, the clock read a little over eleven o'clock. Her high heels made a soft tapping sound on the marble floor, filling the silence of the dark house. The lights in the living room were still on, and there, Nico was seen sleeping on the sofa in an uncomfortable position. His head drooped to the side, his hand still holding the cell phone with the screen off. Celine paused for a moment, observing Nico's face that looked peaceful in his sleep. That face had not changed much since the last time she fell in love with him. But now, that love felt tightly wrapped by the layers of ego and heartache that he continued to nurture. Slightly annoyed, she stepped towards the stairs, trying not to wake Nico. But the sound of his steps was apparently enough to wake the man up. Nico opened his eyes slowly, then immediately got up. "Celine?" called Nico, his voice hoarse and tired. "You just got home?" Celine only gave him a quick glance without answering, the

    2 AMIn the stillness of the night, Nico was awakened by a soft voice. He saw Celine shivering in bed, her face looking pale and wet with cold sweat. Without thinking, Nico immediately got up from his place on the floor and approached the bed. "Celine," he called softly as he touched her forehead. Her temperature was high, clearly she had a fever. Celine opened her eyes slowly, her voice trembling. "Nico... I'm cold..." Without hesitation, Nico took a thick blanket and wrapped it around Celine's body, then turned on the table lamp to see her condition more clearly. Celine continued to shiver, her lips looking bluish. Nico immediately looked for a way to make her warmer. "Celine, I'll help you. Relax, I'm here," Nico said softly. He sat on the side of the bed and tried to hug Celine's cold body. At first, Celine tried to resist, pushing Nico's chest weakly. "Nico... don't...," she whispered. However, Nico still hugged her tightly. "Celine, you need warmth. Please, don't be

    Celine stood in front of the bathroom mirror, staring at her still-flushed face. She covered her face with both hands, trying to calm herself down. "What have I done?!" she whispered emotionally. She hit the wall lightly, frustrated. "How could I be that weak? Why did I let him touch me again? " She shook her head, trying to erase the memory of the night before. But the image of Nico and the warmth he felt were too hard to forget. After a few minutes of silence, she took a deep breath, trying to control herself. "Focus, Celine. Don't let your feelings ruin everything," she muttered as she stared at her reflection. When she finally came out of the room, the house was quiet. She thought Nico was still in the room, but the place where he slept on the floor was empty. "Nico?" she called softly, but there was no answer. With cautious steps, she descended the stairs.

The woman smiled sweetly at her, as if she didn't feel the slightest bit guilty."Your lover? Your future wife?" repeated Celine in a trembling voice. "Yes, Celine. She is my future wife!" said Nicolas firmly. Celine shook her head in disbelief at the surprise given by her husband on the day of their fifth wedding anniversary. Since earlier, Celine had been busy in the kitchen preparing a special dinner with her husband. Celine had even prepared a small surprise for her husband.

"Celine, I want to talk," Ruby said sarcastically, the woman stepped closer to Celine. Celine closed her wedding photo album and stood up. Celine ventured to look at Ruby with her swollen eyes. "What's wrong, Ruby?" asked Celine trying to smile in front of the woman who became her husband's lover. Ruby scrunched up her waist, her smile looking sardonic. "I want you to move out of the main room. I will sleep in this room. This room is

    Nico stood in front of Celine's door with his heart pounding. He was carrying a bag containing a small gift for Calvin-the boy's favorite toy. Even though he had come to this house several times before, the atmosphere always felt familiar to him. This time, he came with a new determination: not only for Calvin, but also to change Celine's view of him. As soon as the door opened, the sound of small footsteps could be heard. Calvin ran from the living room, his face beaming when he saw Nico. "Daddy!" he exclaimed cheerfully, then immediately jumped into Nico's arms. "Calvin!" Nico greeted him with a big smile, hugging the boy tightly. "How are you, son? Daddy really misses you." "I miss you too, Daddy!" Calvin tightened his hug, then his eyes lit up when he saw the bag in Nico's hand. "What did Daddy bring?" "This is for Calvin," Nico said as he opened the bag and took out a bright blue toy car.

    In the Interview RoomNico sat nervously in front of three interviewers. They were carefully examining his CV. Despite being well-dressed and prepared, Nico felt small under their piercing gazes. "So, Mr. Nico," one of the interviewers, a middle-aged man with thick glasses, began, "you have quite a bit of experience as an operations manager, but we also noticed a long gap in your career. Can you explain why?" Nico took a deep breath. He knew this question would come up. "I had some personal issues that impacted my career. But I've resolved them all, and now I'm ready to start over from scratch. I want to prove myself that I am still capable of making a great contribution." A female interviewer with short hair notes something in her notebook. "Can you give us an example, Mr. Nico, of your strategy to improve efficiency in the operations team, based on your previous experience?" Nico smiled slightly, feeling a little more confident.
