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,

The next day, Nicolas tried to hold back his emotions as he stood next to Calvin's bed, wearing the nurse's uniform he had borrowed to sneak in without being suspected. In front of him, a weak Calvin lay, the tubes and medical devices attached to his small body piercing Nico's heart. Carefully, he grasped Calvin's small hand, as if afraid of hurting, but tightly."Calvin... this is Daddy here, son," Nico whispered in a voice full of emotion, holding back the tears that were about to fall.Slowly, Calvin's eyelids began to move, and a moment later, the small eyes opened, his gaze faintly looking at the figure holding his hand. His dry lips moved softly."Uncle... Uncle Nico?" Calvin's voice was weak but clear, recognizing the figure he had been admiring as "Uncle".Nico smiled gently, even though his heart felt like it was being sliced by the call. Gently, he rubbed Calvin's head, stroking his soft hair. "Calvin, I have something to tell you," he said softly.Calvin looked surprised at

The long-awaited day had finally arrived. The inauguration of the Calco Group took place grandly in the company's new building in the city center. Invitations from all walks of life, from entrepreneurs and business partners to family and close friends, attended the event. On the main stage, Nico stood proudly in his black suit, while beside him, Celine looked elegant in a navy blue dress. Between them, Calvin stood excitedly, ready to carry out his important duties today. An MC took the stage and began to speak, "Dear audience, today is a historic moment for Calco Group. After a long journey, the company is finally firmly established and ready to enter a new era. To inaugurate this company, we will witness the ribbon cutting by the first son of our CEO, Calvin!" The audience applauded loudly. Nico squatted towards Calvin, handing him a small golden scissors. "Come on, son. It's time for you to be part of history." Calvin nodded confidently.

One month has passed since the tense incident at the hospital. Now, the twins were healthy and at home with their families. The mansion felt more alive with the cries and laughter of the babies filling the room. Celine sat on the living room sofa, holding their baby girl, now named Aurora, on her lap. Meanwhile, Nico held their baby boy, named Alva. Calvin, their older brother, sat next to Celine, occasionally stroking Aurora's head gently. "Mommy, why is Aurora so small?" Calvin asked with curious eyes. Celine smiled, kissing her son's forehead. "Because she was born earlier than she should have been, dear. But look, she's healthy and strong now, right?" Calvin nodded firmly. "I promise I'll take care of them both, Mommy. I'm a big brother!" Nico chuckled, patting Calvin's head proudly. "That's Daddy's boy! Big Brother should always love the younger siblings, right?" "Of course!" Calvin patted his chest, acting gallant. "If anyone bothers Aurora or Alva, I'll go first!"

"Celine! Wake up! Don't joke around like this, wake up!" Nico shook his wife's body violently, his voice hoarse from shouting too much. His tears fell relentlessly. "I can't live without you! You promised you would always be by my side! Don't leave me!" Maria, who was standing in the corner of the room, finally couldn't take it anymore. She covered her mouth, turned around, and walked out with tears in her eyes. Seeing her son like this was too painful. Meanwhile, Nico was still in place, his hand grasping Celine's cold hand tightly. "Honey... please... if this is my punishment, I accept it. But don't leave. I beg you, don't leave me alone..." Suddenly, Celine's fingers moved slowly. Nico gasped. His breath caught in his throat. He looked at his wife's hand, then frantically felt his wrist. There was a pulse! There was still a heartbeat! Nico's eyes widened, he brought his face closer to Celine's chest and heard a weak heartbeat. "Celine?! Can you hear me?!" There was no r

Nico stood as soon as the doctor came out of the operating room. He held his breath, waiting for the news to come out of the doctor's mouth. "How is my wife, Doc?" he asked in a hoarse voice. The doctor removed his mask, his face looking exhausted. "We managed to save your twins, Mr. Nico. Although premature, they are in stable condition, but will have to stay in the incubator for some time." Nico breathed a sigh of relief for a moment. However, he saw the doctor's expression turn tense. "And... Celine?" his voice weakened. The doctor looked down for a moment before saying, "I'm sorry, sir... We tried our best. But Mrs. Celine lost too much blood... She didn't survive." The world seemed to stop spinning. The doctor's voice echoed in her head, but her brain refused to understand. "No... It's impossible," she whispered, her body faltering. Maria covered her mouth, her tears falling instantly. "Oh my God... Celine..." Nico stepped forward, gripping the collar of the doc

That morning, the smell of cooking filled the entire mansion. Maria was busy in the kitchen, stirring the warm soup while checking on some side dishes she was frying in the pan. The servants could only stand at the side of the kitchen, looking at her in confusion. "Madam, let us do the cooking," one of the servants said politely. Maria smiled, but her hands remained busy stirring the dishes. "No need. I haven't cooked for the family in a long time. Besides, Calvin would love his grandmother's cooking." Celine who had just come down from the room immediately approached, surprised to see Maria in the kitchen. "Mommy, why are you cooking alone? There are servants." Maria glanced over with a smile. "Mommy wants to cook for you once in a while. It's been a long time since I've cooked for the kids." Celine sighed while holding her growing belly. "But Mommy should just rest. Let the servants take care of it." Maria chuckled. "Celine, when you get older and have grandchildren, you

Three months passed quickly. The company Nico had built, Calco Group, was finally firmly established. The building was magnificent, his team was ready to work, and some projects were already well underway. Nico looked at his company logo displayed in front of the building with pride. All his hard work had finally paid off. Leo stood beside him, also gazing at the building in awe. "Finally, everything is ready. Just waiting for the right time to launch," he said, glancing at Nico. Nico nodded. "Yes. I want everything to run smoothly first before it's announced to the public. And most importantly, I want Celine to give birth first. I don't want her to be stressed because of this." Leo chuckled. "You're really protective of your wife, huh." Nico glanced at him with a flat expression. "What's wrong?" Leo raised his hands in surrender. "No, not wrong. In fact, it's good. Celine is a great woman, but she still needs support. Especially now that she's pregnant with twins." Nico t

Leo returned to Nico's room with a serious expression. He closed the door slowly before placing a file on the table. "We have a problem." Nico gave Leo a sharp look. "How big?" Leo took a breath before explaining, "The company we want to work with has outstanding debts to several large vendors. They look stable on the outside, but their finances are actually in trouble. If we continue to work with them, we might be dragged down if they go bankrupt." Nico sighed, then opened the file Leo had given him. His eyes quickly scanned the reports attached to it. "So they're covering all this up with organized financial statements?" "Right," Leo nodded. "They diverted funds from one project to another to make it look healthy. But as I investigated further, there were some transactions that didn't make sense." Nico clenched his fists on the table. "If we're not careful, we could get into big trouble." Leo sat opposite Nico, leaning back in his chair. "What do you want to do?" N

That morning, Nico woke up earlier than usual. He looked at Celine who was still sleeping beside Calvin, smiling at how peaceful his wife's face was. Carefully, he got out of bed, arranged the blankets for them, then hurried to take a shower and get ready. As he finished putting on his white shirt and suit, Celine began to squirm, her eyes opening slightly. "Are you ready to go?" asked Celine in a hoarse voice from just waking up. Nico approached her and sat on the edge of the bed, gently rubbing his wife's cheek. "Yes, sweetheart. You just go back to sleep. I don't want to disturb your rest." Celine smiled slightly. "Be careful." Nico kissed her forehead. "Always." Celine nodded, then closed her eyes again. Nico smiled a little, then got up and walked out of the room. Once he reached the garage, he got into his car and drove straight to the construction site. Today was an important day, as he wanted to see the progress firsthand and make sure everything was going accord

The grand room was filled with classy guests who came in their finest attire. Crystal chandeliers hung beautifully from the ceiling, illuminating the neatly arranged tables with sumptuous dishes. Tonight, Nico and Celine's family were hosting a special banquet to celebrate Celine's fourth month of pregnancy. Celine stands beside Nico, wearing an elegant light blue dress that falls gracefully on her body. Although her belly wasn't too big yet, there was happiness clearly on her face. "Good evening everyone," Nico's voice was firm as he stood before the guests. "Thank you for coming to celebrate our happiness. Tonight, Celine and I would like to share some exciting news..." The guests began to whisper curiously. Nico turned to his wife with a loving gaze. "According to the results of the last ultrasound, we're not just going to have one child... but two." The room immediately erupted in applause. Celine smiled happily, while Nico wrapped his arms around his wife's waist. "Wo
