Shattered Trust: The Revenge of a Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 25: Calvin Insists on Seeing Nicolas
Celine had just walked into the house after a full day outside. As soon as the door opened, Calvin ran up to her, his face flushed with excitement. However, Celine's facial expression immediately changed, feeling like she didn't want to discuss the thing that had just popped into her mind."Mommy, Mommy, when can I see Uncle Nico again?" asked Calvin with sparkling eyes, jumping up and down a little with excitement. Celine stopped her steps for a moment, looking at her son with a serious face. "Calvin, Uncle Nico is very busy. You know that right? He works a lot, so we have to be patient."Calvin didn't seem satisfied with that answer. He came closer again, holding Celine's hand tightly. "But I miss Uncle Nico, Mommy. Uncle Nico is good. Why won't Mommy let me see Uncle Nico again?"Celine took a deep breath, trying to hold back the anger that was starting to emerge. "We've met Uncle Nico many times, Calvin. But right now, he's really busy.""I just want to play with Uncle Nico," Cal

Nicolas began to feel something strange inside him. His body was heating up, and his heart was beating faster than usual. He felt restless, as if there was an urge he couldn't control. Realizing something was wrong, Nicolas tried to control himself. However, Ruby's presence nearby only made the situation worse. The woman, without hesitation, kept getting closer."Nico... you look so hot," Ruby said in a spoiled voice, wrapping her arms around his neck. She touched Nicolas' shoulder, caressed it gently and slowly lowered her hand to his back. "Maybe you need someone to make you feel better?"Nicolas took a deep breath, trying to hold himself together, but the effects of the drug were starting to take over his mind. "Ruby, I... I think you should go now," he replied in a heavy voice, trying not to show the effects of the drugs he had taken without meaning to.Ruby, however, did not give up so easily. She smiled meaningfully, then whispered near Nicolas' ear, "Don't kick me out, Nico. I

Ruby returned to her room, but her mind remained on Nicolas. She stared at her reflection in the mirror, catching her emotional breath. "I won't give up," she muttered softly, reassuring herself. "I'll make Nico see me as more than just a formality."Meanwhile, elsewhere, Celine sat in her office with a serious expression. Devano, who was sitting in front of her, handed her some files that he had collected. "This is the latest data I got about William's company, Celine. Their biggest weakness is in the investment line. I'm sure we can work our way into this situation."Celine listened carefully to every word Devano said. Her eyes narrowed, examining the files. "Good. Then, what's the first step we should take?""We should start by infiltrating their major investors," Devano replied, pointing to one name listed on the document. "If we can convince them to withdraw funds slowly, William's stock will falter, and that's our chance to get in."Celine smiled slightly, a nod of her head indi

In a café, Celine and Devano sat opposite each other, lost in their serious conversation. Celine occasionally looked out the window, making sure no one was listening. But in fact, they were completely unaware of the presence of Ruby, who sat at the table behind them with her head bowed, listening to every word attentively."Devano," Celine began in a low tone, "I want this to remain a secret. Calvin, he doesn't need to know who his real father is."Devano nodded, understanding Celine's point. "But you're sure? Calvin is getting older, and sooner or later, he will definitely ask. That boy is smart, Celine."Celine sighed, then looked down at her coffee cup. "I know. But, for now, let things be like this. I don't want Nico to know about Calviin, especially if he thinks he can take Calvin away from me."Devano looked at Celine with a concerned look on his face. "You're not afraid that Nico will find out one day? I mean, Nico's not someone who's easily fooled. He might suspect something."

Ruby drove with a cold face and sharp eyes. She saw Calvin's small figure walking on the side of the road with his nanny, laughing without knowing the danger he was in. "Sorry, Calvin... it's for the sake of my future with Nicolas," Ruby muttered softly, her heart pounding but her face showing no hesitation.She pressed the gas harder and the car accelerated. In an instant, a loud crash rang through the air, followed by the screams of the people who witnessed the horrific scene. Calvin and his nanny were thrown onto the asphalt, Calvin's nanny's body lying motionless, while little Calvin was lying a few meters away, with blood flowing around his body.Ruby stepped on the gas pedal again, leaving the scene with a flat face, without turning her head.At the hospital, after getting the news of the accident, Celine ran to the emergency room with her breath catching, her face pale, and her eyes full of worry. Devano, who followed behind her, tried to calm her down, but Celine was already o

At the police station, Celine sat tensely, waiting for the results of the investigation that had just begun. Her mind was filled with the image of Calvin lying helplessly in the hospital. Celine's hands clenched into fists, trying to hold back the anger that burned her every nerve.Before long, a policeman entered with a serious face. "Ms. Celine, we have found evidence that the car that hit your son is registered to a woman named Ruby."Celine was stunned, but her anger soon flared up again. "Ruby? The Ruby that Nicolas has been close to?" she muttered angrily."That's right, Miss. The license plate of the car mentioned by the witness, and after a search, it was indeed registered in Ruby's name. We will immediately detain her for questioning."A few hours later, Ruby was brought into the police station with her hands cuffed. Her face looked cold, expressionless. Her gaze was blank, as if she had no guilt at all.Celine stood up from her chair with unstoppable anger, she stepped close

After leaving the police station, Nicolas immediately rushed to the hospital where Calvin was being treated. His heart was full of regret and guilt. As soon as he entered the hospital, he asked the nurse at the front desk and was told that Calvin was being intensively treated in the ICU. He walked quickly towards the room, trying to control his emotions, although his mind kept being filled with Celine's face who might reject him.In front of the ICU door, he saw Celine standing, her eyes red like she had just cried. She straightened up, trying to be as calm as possible despite her pounding heart. "Celine," Nico called softly.Celine turned her head, and upon seeing Nicolas, her face immediately turned cold. "What are you doing here?" she asked in a stern tone."I want to see Calvin... and I need an explanation from you, Celine. Why did you hide the fact that Calvin is my son?"Celine smiled faintly, a smile full of sarcasm. "Oh, so you only found out now, huh? Thanks to Ruby, I guess

In front of the ICU door, Nicolas stood with a tired and anxious face. He had come several times, but Celine never let him see Calvin. His breathing was heavy when he saw Celine's figure standing at the door, her face cold and her gaze sharp, as if she had set up a high wall that Nico would not be able to cross."Celine...," Nico began, his voice hoarse. "I just want to see Calvin, just for a moment... He's... he's my son too."Celine shook her head softly, her face remaining expressionless. "You're late, Nicolas. Calvin doesn't need you.""I know I was wrong," Nico said, looking down, trying to humble himself. "I never knew Calvin was my son. If I had known, I would have never left you, I would have protected you."Celine gave a small snort, as if Nico's words meant nothing to her. "You don't understand, Nico. All of this happened because of your ego. Do you think I can trust you again after everything?"Nicolas felt his chest tighten at Celine's words. He clasped his hands together,

Shattered Trust: The Revenge of a Billionaire's Ex-Wife Celine remained cold
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 sound of Calvin's chuckle came from one of the rooms, making Celine follow the direction of the sound. When s
Shattered Trust: The Revenge of a Billionaire's Ex-Wife So warm
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 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
Shattered Trust: The Revenge of a Billionaire's Ex-Wife You?
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.

Shattered Trust: The Revenge of a Billionaire's Ex-Wife Who is that man?
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
Shattered Trust: The Revenge of a Billionaire's Ex-Wife Are you okay?
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. Nico, who was watching from the sofa, immediately reflexively moved. Within seconds, h
Shattered Trust: The Revenge of a Billionaire's Ex-Wife Yes, for Calvin
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. "Wow!" Calvin immediately cheered, taking the toy eagerly. "Thank you, Daddy!" A
Shattered Trust: The Revenge of a Billionaire's Ex-Wife Interview
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. "One of the things I always prioritize is clea
