Nicolas stood in the kitchen, busy preparing breakfast for Calvin. The omelet was perfectly fluffy on the griddle, while the aroma of toast filled the room. He glanced into the living room, where Calvin was still wrapped in a blanket on the sofa, his face looking peaceful in sleep. "Calvin, let's wake up, son. Breakfast is ready," Nico called as he placed a plate on the table. Calvin squirmed lazily, opening his eyes slowly. "What's for breakfast, Daddy?" he asked, rubbing his eyes. "Eggs, bread, and vanilla milk. Come on, wash your face quickly," Nico replied with a small smile. Calvin got up with a lazy step, heading for the bathroom. A few minutes later, they sat together at the dining table. "Daddy made the eggs just right. It's delicious," Calvin praised as he spooned a piece of egg into his mouth. "Daddy always knows what you like," Nico replies, trying to break the ice. However, when breakfast was over and Nico started talking about going home, Calvin immediately

At Celine's Mansion, moments after Devano left without CalvinCeline stood in the center of the large living room, her eyes burning with anger. Devano had just entered the house with a worried expression, and Celine immediately approached, her arms folded across her chest. "Why didn't you bring Calvin?" asked Celine, her voice flat yet full of pressure. Devano looked uncomfortable, he looked down for a moment before answering. "Sorry, Celine. Calvin refused to go home. I tried to persuade him, but... he didn't want to come." "Doesn't want to come? Do you think I'm going to let that happen? You should have been more assertive!" snapped Celine, her tone getting higher. "Don't make excuses, Devano. I told you, no matter what, Calvin has to come home today!" Devano humbled himself, distressed by Celine's anger. "I... will go back to Mr. Nicolas' apartment." However, Celine was no longer patient. Wordlessly, she picked up the phone and called someone. After a few seconds, her voi

At Celine's MansionCalvin's cries echoed throughout the mansion. The boy rolled on the living room floor, beating the carpet with his hands while crying loudly. His face reddened, the tears continued to flow non-stop. "I want Daddy! Take me to Daddy!" cried Calvin, his voice hoarse from crying so much. Celine stood by the stairs, clutching her throbbing temples. Her eyes looked tired, her hair a little messy. She looked at her son with a mixture of anger, frustration, and... helplessness. "Calvin, Mommy told you. Daddy is not someone you can trust. He can't give you a good life!" Celine tried to calm herself down, though her tone remained firm. However, Calvin's crying grew louder. The boy looked at his mother with eyes full of anger and hurt. "Daddy loves me! Daddy never yells at me like Mommy!" The words were like a hard slap to Celine. Her breath caught. She tried to approach Calvin, kneeling before him carefully. "Honey... listen to Mommy. Daddy's not a bad person, but

In a Luxury RestaurantGabriel, the man who would become Celine's husband tomorrow, sat at a corner table with a young woman in a red dress. They were chuckling, talking in low voices, as if they were hiding something. Nicolas, who was delivering documents for an odd job in the same building, accidentally saw Gabriel from a distance. At first, Nicolas only intended to ignore, but when he saw Gabriel touching the woman's hand intimately, he felt something was wrong. Nicolas decided to come closer, hiding behind a large curtain. "Honey, are you sure she's not suspicious?" the woman asked, her voice soft but full of sarcasm. Gabriel chuckled. "Celine is too busy taking care of the kids and the family business. Besides, she trusts me. The important thing is that I marry her tomorrow, and everything will be fine after that." The woman squinted. "Smooth how do you mean?" Gabriel leaned in, speaking more softly. However, Nicolas could still hear clearly. "Once I have full access to

The afternoon sky was dark when Celine came out of her office. Her heart was still heavy after canceling her wedding to Gabriel. She walked towards her car parked on the side of the road, unaware that a black car was slowly approaching from behind. Nicolas, who happened to be passing by, saw the figure. He felt there was something strange about the black car. Its speed increased slowly, and it was heading straight towards Celine. "Celine! Be careful!" shouted Nicolas, running with all his might. Celine turned her head with a confused look, but it was too late. The car was speeding away, just a few meters away from her body. In an instant, Nicolas pushed Celine to the side of the sidewalk, his own body bouncing onto the road. Celine screamed, her body falling to the edge of the sidewalk. Her head hit hard, and her vision began to blur. The black car sped off without stopping. At the hospitalThe hospital room was silent except for the sound of the monitor that kept beeping,

Devano sat in front of his laptop in the corner of the waiting room. His face was serious, his fingers dancing over the keyboard. He had collected some evidence, but not enough to ensure Gabriel could be arrested. On the other side, Nicolas stood up while watching Calvin who was drawing in his little book. "Devano, do we have enough evidence?" asked Nicolas, his tone anxious yet hopeful. Devano sighed, staring at the laptop screen with a tired look. "Not yet. Gabriel is cunning. Even though I have recordings of his conversations with his henchmen, it's still not strong enough in court." Nicolas clenched his fists, frustrated. "So, what else do we need? That man almost killed Celine. He can't get away with it." "I'm trying to trace the flow of money he used to rent that car. If we can prove that the transaction came from his account, then we have a stronger case," Devano explained. Nicolas nodded, though his mind was not at ease. "Hurry up. I don't want him to have a chance t

Nicolas stood in front of a large board full of photos, notes, and maps. Next to him, Devano was busy talking to a detective. "Gabriel can't get away again," Nicolas said in a firm tone. "We have all the evidence we need. We just need to catch him." The detective nodded, indicating their plan. "We've deployed teams to the three locations we suspect. In the afternoon, Nicolas stood in front of the desk, his face tense. In his hand was the latest report on Gabriel's escape to the Philippines. Across from him, Devano looked equally agitated, pacing the room with his cell phone in hand. "So that's it? We let him escape?" Nicolas' voice was full of pressure. "We did our best," Devano replied, trying to calm him down, though he was also disappointed inside. "The police here are limited. Gabriel must have planned everything. He has connections, Nicolas." "But I can't accept this! Celine is still in a coma, Calvin cries every night for his mother, and that bastard is enjoying his

Two days later, in the ICU roomNicolas sat on a plastic chair. His eyes were fixed on Celine's drooping hands by her bedside. Next to her, Calvin drew something in his little book, occasionally looking up at his mother with a hopeful face. "Daddy," Calvin broke the silence, pointing at the drawing he had just finished. "This is me, Mommy, and you. We're playing in the park." Nicolas smiled a little, though his heart was heavy. "Nice drawing, Calvin. Mommy will like it when she sees it." "But when will Mommy wake up?" Calvin asked, his voice hoarse as if he was holding back tears. Nicolas didn't answer right away. He grasped Calvin's small hand, trying to provide a sense of security. "We have to be patient, son. Mommy is struggling to wake up. You know, Mommy is a strong woman." Suddenly, the fingers of Celine's hand that Nicolas was holding moved. At first glance, he thought it was just his imagination, but the movement happened again, this time more clearly. "Calvin! Loo

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

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
