Shattered Trust: The Revenge of a Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 32: Begging
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

The sun was scorching overhead, but the atmosphere in front of Nico's mansion was much cooler. A luxury car pulled into the courtyard, and Celine got out with steady steps. Several of her men followed behind, their faces flat, emotionless. At the entrance of the mansion, Nico and Mrs. Maria were already standing, waiting for the arrival of these uninvited guests. Mrs. Maria looked worried, while Nico just stood there with a blank stare. "So, you're still here," Celine said sharply, folding her arms across her chest. "I've given you three days. Don't you know what an ultimatum is?" Mrs. Maria stepped forward, trying to speak. "Celine, please listen to me. This mansion is our family home. Can't you give us more time?" Celine looked at Mrs. Maria with a look full of indifference. "Mrs. Maria, I've been kind enough to give you three days. Don't force me to be more strict." "Mom, already," Nico cut in softly. He looked at Celine with a cold face, but without any intention of figh

Nico was still looking at Celine with eyes filled with desire. However, Celine suddenly pushed Nico's body onto the bed. Nico raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised by Celine's actions. "Oh? My wife wants to take over tonight?" he asked in a teasing tone. Celine smiled meaningfully. "I just want to make sure you don't dominate too much. I'm in control once in a while, how about that?" Nico chuckled, his hands folded behind his head. "Go ahead, darling. I want to see how far you can control me." Celine looked at him confidently, then slowly brought her face closer to Nico. Her lips touched her husband's neck, giving small kisses that made Nico take a deep breath. "Celine..." Nico whispered, his body starting to react to his wife's gentle touch. Celine enjoyed how Nico was now under her control. "Just calling my name? I thought you were more expressive than this, darling," Celine teased as she continued her movements. Nico laughed softly, but there was a frustrated tone i

In the parking lot of Nico's company, Elissa stood in her tight red dress, waiting confidently. Her eyes lit up when she saw Nico getting out of the car, wearing his neat suit. Wasting no time, Elissa immediately stepped closer, smiling sweetly. "Nico," she greeted softly. Nico, who was closing the car door, only gave a glance. "What's wrong?" she asked expressionlessly. Elissa shook her hair, trying to flirt. "I happened to be in the neighborhood and thought of taking you to lunch. How about it? We can have a nice chat and relieve some stress." Nico gave a small snort, then looked at Elissa coldly. "Sorry, I'm busy." Elissa was silent for a moment, not expecting Nico's answer to be that sharp. "So busy that you can't eat lunch? Come on, it'll only take a minute." Nico shook her head firmly. "I already have other plans. If there's nothing important to do, I'll go in first." Without waiting for a reply, Nico walked towards the entrance of his company building. Elissa

At an exclusive café, Bryan sat with a grim face. He glanced at his watch, waiting for Elissa who finally appeared with a haughty face. She sat opposite him, smiling faintly as if nothing had happened. "What did you call me in such a hurry?" asked Elissa, crossing her legs gracefully. Bryan gave her a sharp look. "I want to know why your plan failed miserably." Elissa frowned. "What do you mean?" Bryan snorted in annoyance. "You said that you had misunderstood Celine and Nico. You even deliberately answered Celine's video call in the middle of the night as if you were in Nico's arms! So why are they even more intimate now? Didn't you realize they were making out in front of the office this morning? Celine kissed Nico in front of many people. I even saw it with my own eyes!" Elissa was silent for a moment, then bit her lip. She really did not expect Celine to act like that. She should have been angry, staying away from Nico, instead of getting more aggressive! "I don't unde

In front of the office, Nico stopped the car and turned to Celine. "It's here, sweetheart. I'm waiting for confirmation from you about the company's problems, okay?" Nico said with a smile. Celine nodded, but instead of getting off immediately, she looked at Nico with a seductive gaze. "Wait a minute, I haven't given you anything yet." Nico raised his eyebrows, confused. "What?" Without answering, Celine immediately pulled Nico's face and kissed his lips. Nico widened his eyes, surprised by his wife's sudden action. Some of the staff who had just arrived at the office saw the incident and started whispering. "Oh my, our CEO is getting more romantic now." "Her husband is so handsome, they're so compatible." "Gosh, I'm jealous! When will I ever have a relationship like this?" Nico chuckled between their kisses, then pulled away slightly. "My wife, you're so aggressive! Aren't you embarrassed?" he whispered. Celine just smiled sarcastically. "Why should I be ashamed? I ju

On a cozy sofa, Nico and Celine sat side by side, both of them enjoying the company they had lost. Celine looked at Nico with a sincere smile, her heart felt light after all the tension that happened before. "Nico," Celine began to speak, her voice soft. "I really feel happy tonight." Nico looked at Celine, his eyes full of concern. "Me too, Celine. We have to follow Elissa's game. What does she mean? Why would she do this." Celine smiled, then turned her gaze out the window. "Sure, because she loves you, Nico.""But I only love you, Celine."Celine smiled. "Nico. I want to have more time with you, more moments like this. Like the old days, when we first became husband and wife." "Like back then?" Nico asked, curious. Celine turned her head, looking at Nico's expectant eyes. "Yes. Nico, I want you to be by my side more. This time, I want us to really feel every moment in joy and sorrow." Nico was silent for a moment, as if contemplating. "I... I want that too, Celine. I re

Celine had just arrived at the Mansion after a tiring day at the office. As soon as she stepped inside, a servant immediately approached her with a hesitant face. "Madam, here is a letter from Mr. Nico." Celine frowned, her heart suddenly racing. With slightly trembling hands, she received the letter and immediately read it. >_Celine,_ > _I won't stay at the Mansion anymore. I'm tired of your cold attitude. I don't know how else to behave towards you. If indeed I am no longer valuable in your eyes, I choose to leave._ > _Tomorrow I'll take Calvin home5._ > _- Nico._ Celine's eyes stared at the letter without blinking. Her hands crumpled the paper. Anger and emotion were raging inside her. Why did Nico give up so quickly? Celine felt something stuck in her chest. Not just because Nico was leaving, but because in her heart of hearts, she knew that all of this was happening because of herself. Jealousy and anger had taken her too far. Without thinking, Celine rushed out
Shattered Trust: The Revenge of a Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 101
Nico walked into the mansion, his steps heavy. Ever since he left Celine's office, his heart was completely broken. Celine, his wife, whom he used to love so much, was now so cold and distant. Nico felt very disappointed, and there was a feeling that he could no longer put up with all this. He headed to his bedroom, opened his closet, and started packing his things. Maybe it was time for him to leave, to find peace elsewhere. She didn't know what was really going on, but one thing was for sure: she couldn't afford to stay in a relationship that was becoming increasingly strained. "Why does it have to be like this?" she whispered softly, staring at the pile of clothes she was putting into the suitcase. Each item he put into the suitcase felt heavier and heavier, like a big decision he had to make.Suddenly the door sounded, and Calvin appeared in the doorway, a worried look on his face. "Daddy, Daddy, where are you going? Why are you packing?" Nico turned his head and smiled a li

After meeting Celine, Bryan immediately went to see Elissa. Bryan sat casually in a quiet corner of the cafe, sipping his coffee with a satisfied expression. Soon, Elissa arrived wearing sunglasses and a long coat. She sat in front of Bryan and took off her sunglasses, revealing a sly smile. "How are you, Elissa?" Bryan opened the conversation, casting a quick glance at the woman. Elissa leaned back in her chair haughtily. "Excellent. I have good news for you," she said as she waved to the waiter, ordering a drink. Bryan raised one eyebrow. "Oh? I like good news. Tell me." Elissa smiled with satisfaction. "Celine and Nico are in pretty bad shape right now. I managed to get Celine to misunderstand me. She sees me and Nico in a 'misleading' position. The result? Celine got cold feet and walked away from Nico." Bryan gave a small chuckle, then nodded in satisfaction. "Well done, Elissa. You're really sneaky." Elissa shrugged her shoulders. "I just did what needed to be done.

Chapter 99After dropping Calvin off at school, Celine immediately rushed to the company. It didn't take long before she arrived at her company.However, Celine had just stepped into her office when Devano, her assistant, came in with a panicked face while carrying some files. "Mrs. Celine, there's a big problem," Devano said with a slight gasp. Celine let out a long breath, trying to calm herself down. Her morning had started with tension with Nico, and now there was another problem. "What problem?" "The company's stock dropped five percent," Devano said as he handed over the financial report. "And this is no ordinary drop. There are indications of hacking, someone may have sold a large amount of shares in a suspicious manner." Celine's eyes narrowed sharply. "Who is the culprit?" "We're still investigating," Devano replied, "But that's not all, Mrs. Celine. There's another problem." Celine straightened her back. "What other problems?" "There are allegations of misuse o
