Shattered Trust: The Revenge of a Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 46: Please, Nico!
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

The sunlight coming through the window curtains slowly woke Celine's consciousness. Her eyelids moved slowly before finally opening. Her vision blurred for a moment, but then caught the shadow of Nico sitting beside her bed. "Celine?" Nico called out softly, noticing the change on her face. "You're awake?" Celine blinked a few times, adjusting her gaze. The first look she gave Nico was neither grateful nor relieved, but cold and full of tension. "What are you doing here?" her voice was hoarse, almost a whisper. Nico was silent for a moment, trying to swallow the pain that came with the question. "I... I just wanted to make sure you were okay." Before Nico could continue, Calvin's small voice broke the silence. "Mommy! Mommy's awake!" Calvin ran over to the bed, hugging his mother's arm tightly. His face was beaming with happiness. "Mommy, I really miss you! Daddy and I wait for Mommy to wake up every day." Celine looked at Calvin and smiled slightly. However, the smile f

That morning at the hospitalNico stood at the door of the hospital room with a face full of doubt. His suitcase was already in the car, the plane ticket was in his hand. It was only a matter of time before he left to leave everything behind, including Celine and Calvin. But there was something he had to do first. He knocked lightly on the door, then opened it. Inside, Calvin was drawing at a small table, while Celine sat leaning back on the bed, her face looking more refreshed although her gaze was still cold. "Can I come in?" Nico asked softly, his voice almost a whisper. Celine didn't answer, just gave him a glance before looking away again. Calvin, on the other hand, immediately smiled widely. "Daddy!" he exclaimed happily as he jumped up from his chair and ran towards Nico. Nico lifted the boy into his arms, kissing his forehead gently. "Hi, Calvin. Did you eat breakfast?" "I did, Daddy," Calvin replied excitedly. "But why has Daddy been absent for so long? I miss you!"

Nico pulled Celine into a hug, his arms wrapped tightly around his wife's waist. "You know," he whispered in Celine's ear, his voice husky and full of teasing, "ever since we got together, I can't stop missing you." Celine chuckled, trying to move away, but Nico didn't let her. "We have to wake Calvin up, honey," Celine said, touching her husband's cheek. Nico sighed, looking deeply into Celine's eyes before finally kissing her lips again, this time more deeply. Celine responded just as intensely, her hands going up to Nico's neck, burying her fingers in her husband's hair. After a few moments, Celine broke the kiss with a slight gasp. "You really have no intention of waking Calvin up?" she asked with a seductive smile. Nico shrugged. "That boy can sleep for another five minutes, right?" Celine shook her head with a smile. "Nope. He has school, remember?" Nico sighed softly and then pulled Celine's hand. "Okay, okay. Let's go wake up our little prince." They walked hand

In a quiet cafe, Elissa sat across from Bryan. The woman sipped her coffee quietly before finally looking at the man in front of her seriously. "I know you haven't given up," Elissa said as she leaned back in the chair. Bryan raised his eyebrows. "Haven't given up on what?" Elissa chuckled. "Don't pretend, Bryan. I know you still want to have Celine. Unfortunately, now she's back with Nico." Bryan let out a long sigh, his expression turning sour. "Yes, I really don't like seeing them together again. I've tried to get close to Celine, but in the end she still chose Nico. That sucks." Elissa leaned forward. "I don't like seeing them together either. I love Nico, Bryan. And I'm sure you still want Celine." Bryan smiled slightly. "So, you're saying we work together?" Elissa nodded firmly. "Exactly. We have to get Nico and Celine to split up. They've been playing with our feelings for too long. I'm not going to let Celine just win." Bryan fiddled with the small spoon in his

The next day, Inside the room that once felt cold and full of distance, there was now a different warmth. Nico looked at Celine who was standing in front of the window, looking out with a dreamy gaze. He came closer, touching Celine's shoulder gently. "Thank you," Nico said in a low but sincere voice. Celine turned her head, frowning slightly. "For what? " " For this amazing opportunity," Nico said. "I promise, I'll work hard until I can have my own company again. I'll be the CEO I used to be. I'll build a palace for you and Calvin." Celine was silent for a moment. Her eyes began to glaze over. She knew she had been stubborn all along, letting her resentment blind her feelings. Nico smiled, cupping Celine's face with both hands. "I don't blame you for what happened back then. I understand why you're angry, why you want revenge." Celine bit her lip, holding back the rising emotions. "I'm the one who should be apologizing, Nico. I ruined your company, I brought you down. I

Nico was sitting on the sofa in his small apartment, staring at a cup of cold coffee that had been untouched for an hour. His mind drifted to recent events. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Nico frowned. It was rare for guests to come to his apartment. Lazily, he got up and opened the door. On the other side of the door, stood Celine with a slightly hesitant face. "Celine?" said Nico in a flat tone, although in his heart he was surprised at the woman's arrival. Celine swallowed, trying to calm herself down. "Can I come in?" she asked softly. Nico nodded wordlessly, then opened the door wider. Inside the apartmentCeline stood awkwardly in the small living room. Nico returned to the sofa without inviting her to sit down. He just looked at Celine blankly. "What do you want to talk about?" asked Nico finally, breaking the silence. Celine took a deep breath. She knew this was not going to be easy. "I came to set things straight. About Bryan, what he said, it's not tr

Celine decided to spend some time with Calvin. As a mother, she felt that she had been too busy with her work lately. "Calvin, today we're going to the mall, okay? Mommy told Uncle Bryan to come too. You want to, right?" Calvin's eyes lit up. "Seriously, Mommy? I really want to!" Bryan arrived on time. As he appeared at the door of the Mansion, dressed in a neat casual suit, Calvin jumped right up to him. "Uncle Bryan, do we want to buy a new toy?" Calvin asked excitedly. Bryan ruffled Calvin's hair while laughing. "Of course, Calvin. Whatever you want." Celine just smiled and picked up her bag. "Come on, Calvin, don't ask for too many toys. Mommy will only give you one." At the Mall The atmosphere at the mall was quite crowded. Calvin walks in the middle of Bryan and Celine with a big smile on his face. He looked very happy, swinging his right and left hands that were held by both of them. "Mommy, I want to go to that toy store!" Calvin pointed at the big store enthusi

After Nico left the break room, Celine stood still. For a moment, her instinct told her to run after Nico, apologize, or at least explain everything more deeply. However, she sighed heavily and shook her head lightly. "Never mind," she muttered to herself. "I'm not going to force anything anymore. If she won't listen, there's nothing I can do."She stepped out with a heavy heart. But in her head, she began to make a new decision: just focus on her career and Calvin. All of this was too exhausting to pursue.After that, Celine decided to return to the Mansion. Arriving at the Mansion, Celine sat in the living room with Calvin who was busy playing with his new toy. Calvin's laughter filled the room, making the atmosphere feel lighter. "Mommy, look at this!" Calvin exclaimed while showing the robot he had just finished building. "Wow, what a great kid Mommy," Celine praised with a smile. She stroked Calvin's head gently. "Daddy bought this for me," Calvin said proudly, then adde

Celine stared at her cell phone screen, which showed another missed call. Nico was not answering his phone. For the first time, she really felt annoyed and anxious at the same time. Did this mean Nico had really given up on her?She stood up from her chair, grabbed her bag, and walked out of the office without saying a word to anyone. If the phone wasn't answered, then she would have to go to Nico in person. She didn't care if it had to be done in front of all of Nico's coworkers.Arriving at Nico's workplace, it was busy as usual. Celine entered the building with quick steps. One of Nico's coworkers who recognized her immediately said hello."Good afternoon, Mrs. Celine. Can I help you?" the man asked politely."Where's Nico?" she asked without preamble."Looks like he's in the break room, lunchtime," the man replied as he pointed towards a room in the corner of the building.Without waiting any longer, Celine stepped there. She opened the door to the break room and immediately found

Celine sat on the edge of her bed with the divorce papers in hand. Her eyes stared at the papers for a long time, but her hand made no move to sign. It felt like something was holding her back. Calvin's soft voice calling Nico earlier, Nico's smile as he hugged Calvin-all came back to mind. Why did he feel so heavy to finish this?He took a deep breath and put the letter on the bedside table. In the silence of the room, her mind continued to wrestle. She knew Nico had betrayed her, but she also knew why. And now, when Nico seems to be getting farther away from her, why is her heart even more chaotic?Suddenly, she reached for her cell phone. She didn't know what prompted her to dial Nico's number, but she just wanted to talk to him. After a few rings, Nico's voice came from the other side."What's wrong, Celine?" Nico asked in a flat tone, as if he was holding back his emotions. Celine was silent for a moment before finally answering, "I just want to know what relationship you have w

Late at night, Celine finally could no longer bear the feelings of guilt and worry that were mixed in her heart. She reached for her cell phone and searched for Nico's name in the contact list. Her finger hesitated before she finally pressed the call button. On the other end, Nico's cell phone vibrated on the small table in his apartment. Nico was sitting with his head bowed, staring at the floor unfocused. The sound of his cell phone rang out loudly amidst the silence, making him look up. He saw Celine's name on the screen. His heart seemed to be cut again, but he didn't want to face the conversation right now.After letting the phone ring for a while, Nico picked it up and simply said, "Why?" his voice sounded flat, emotionless.Celine tried to hold back her irritated tone, but she couldn't hide her frustration. "Nico, why didn't you come? Calvin waited for you all day. He even slept hugging his doll because he was disappointed!"Nico was silent for a moment, swallowing his bitter-
