Shattered Trust: The Revenge of a Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 31: Regret?
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

Nico took a deep breath as he looked at Calvin, then smiled warmly even though his heart felt heavy leaving his son. He knew he couldn't be there for long, but at least he had kept his promise to be by Calvin's side, even if temporarily."Daddy has to go now, son. But Daddy will definitely visit Calvin again later," Nico said, softly but firmly, trying to give peace to Calvin who still looked weak.Calvin looked at him with hopeful eyes. "Daddy will definitely come again, right?"Nico nodded firmly, holding back the emotions that were about to overflow. "Definitely, Calvin. Daddy promises," he replied, rubbing Calvin's head once more before standing up and walking away.When he opened the ICU door and walked out, he was surprised to see Celine standing in the hallway, waiting. Her gaze was sharp and full of suspicion, as if still rejecting the fact that Nico wanted to get close to Calvin again. Nico was silent for a moment, then smiled a small smile as a sign of thanks."Thank you, Ce

Nico entered the police station with firm steps. In his hand, he held the divorce papers he had just picked up from the registry office. All decisions had been made. All decisions about him and Ruby must come to an end. He stared at the door to the room that led to Ruby's cell, holding his breath for a moment before knocking."Come in," came the voice from inside.Nico opened the door and entered, greeted by the piercing gaze of Ruby sitting on the narrow cell chair. Ruby's eyes conveyed annoyance and hatred, while she was still wearing her prisoner's clothes. She seemed to be prepared for this encounter, but nothing could have prepared her for the words that would come out of Nico's mouth.Nico stepped in and placed the divorce papers on the table in front of Ruby. "Ruby, these are our divorce papers. Sign it, so that everything is finalized."Ruby looked at the letter, then looked at Nico with an angry gaze. "You think I'll just sign it, Nico?" Ruby snorted. "No, I'm not just going

Nicolas sat in the office of his appointed lawyer, his eyes fixed on the middle-aged man before him. The files on the table were neatly organized, but Nico knew that the process he was about to undergo would not be easy. "So, you want my client Ruby to be released?" the lawyer asked, his voice calm but inquisitive. Nico nodded firmly. "Yes, I want to mount a defense. No matter how difficult the process is, I want her to be free as soon as possible." The lawyer looked at Nico with a thoughtful gaze. "Mr. Nicolas, this case is quite complicated. Given the evidence and witnesses, the chances are not great. But if you are willing to pay the fees and involve me fully, I will do my best." "There is no problem with fees. Do whatever needs to be done," Nico replied without hesitation. The lawyer gave a small nod, then began to explain the strategy he would use. The process would take a few weeks, but Nico didn't care. As long as Ruby was willing to sign the divorce papers, he was wi

A month laterCeline sat in her elegant office, looking at the documents neatly arranged on the desk. A faint smile was etched on her face. Devano, the man she trusted to take over William's company, stood in front of her, handing her the latest report. "Everything is going according to plan, Celine. William's company is now fully under your control," Devano said as he looked at Celine with a satisfied look. Celine leaned her back on the chair and nodded slowly. "You did a great job, Devano. I'm satisfied with the result." "Thank you. If there's nothing else to discuss, I'll go back to the team," Devano said, signaling to say goodbye. Celine nodded again. "Okay. Make sure all the legal documents are taken care of perfectly. I don't want any loopholes." After Devano left, Celine looked at the large window behind him. Her gaze was cold, yet there was a sense of relief flowing through her. Now, she had full control over William's company-an accomplishment she had been chasing.

Nicolas' mansionNicolas walked into his mansion with heavy steps. His head felt full, like a boulder was pressing down on his mind. Every corner of the house now only reminded him of something that would soon be gone. In the living room, Mrs. Maria was sitting while knitting, her face immediately turning worried at the sight of her son's expression. "Nico, what's wrong? You look like a mess," she asked, placing her knitting tools on the table. Nico didn't answer right away. He took off his tie rudely, threw it on the sofa, and sat down with a slumped body. His eyes stared blankly at the floor before he finally spoke. "Mom, we need to vacate the house immediately." Maria's mother was silent for a moment, trying to digest the words. "What do you mean, Nico? Why should we vacate the mansion? It's your home." Nico took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. "It's all over, ma'am. This mansion... my company... everything. It's not mine anymore." Maria looked at Nico with con

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.

Arriving at the floor where the CEO's office was, Nico stepped up to the reception desk. "Is Celine in?" he asked politely. The receptionist looked at him for a moment, somewhat confused by Nico's casual attitude, then replied, "Just a moment, let me check first, sir." Shortly after, the door to celine's office opened. she was seen examining a thick document while talking to devano. upon seeing nico, she only glanced briefly then refocused on her document. "What are you doing here, nico?" she asked without looking directly at him. "I wanted to take you to lunch," Nico replied in a calm tone despite being a little distressed at Celine's cold demeanor. Celine looked up, her expression unchanged. "I'm busy, Nico. I have
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
