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!"

Celine looked at Nico with a look in her eyes that was hard to interpret. Calvin had already fallen asleep in his small bed after being tired of crying. Now there were only the two of them in the room, and the atmosphere was heavy. "I want to clarify something," Celine finally opened her voice. Her tone was cold, different from before. Nico, who was standing by the window, turned his head. "What is it, Celine?" Celine took a deep breath. "What I said earlier, about forgiving you... it's not entirely true." Nico looked at her, his forehead furrowed. "What do you mean?" "I only said that for Calvin's sake." Celine looked directly into Nico's eyes, her tone firm. "I don't want him to feel even more devastated. But that doesn't mean I've forgotten everything you did." Nico was silent. He didn't try to defend himself, nor did he show anger. He just nodded slowly, as if he had expected the answer. "I understand," he said finally, his voice low. "I know I deserve that." Celin

"So what if Calvin asks that we don't live in the same house?" Nico asked later. "Well, we still live in the same house. We'll pretend to be married. Later, I'll find a new Daddy if it's suitable, then get divorced."Nico was stunned to hear that statement. Celine looked at him without hesitation, as if the sentence she had just said was the most logical solution that could be taken. "We live in the same house?" Nico repeated, making sure he hadn't heard wrong. Celine nodded, her face remaining cold. "Yes. For Calvin's sake. He doesn't need to know what's really going on between us. We pretend to be married, living like a normal family in front of him. If I find someone suitable, we can divorce gracefully." Nico felt something hit his chest. He wanted to refuse, wanted to say that it wasn't fair, but the words seemed to get stuck in his throat. "Are you serious, Celine?" he asked in a trembling voice. "Seriously," Celine replied firmly. "I don't care how you feel about this

Calvin sat on the edge of the bed, hugging his favorite doll with a sour face. He looked up at his mother with eyes that were almost brimming with tears. "Mommy, where's Daddy? Why isn't Daddy here?" he whined in a small voice full of confusion. Celine, who was folding the blanket at the end of the bed, tried to put on a gentle smile. "Daddy went away for a while, dear. He bought some fruit for you. Calvin likes apples and oranges, doesn't he?" "But it took so long!" Calvin snorted. "I want Daddy now!" Celine came over, sat beside Calvin, and gently smoothed her son's hair. "Be patient, honey. Daddy will come back. Now, how about Calvin draw a picture first? Daddy will see the picture when he gets home." Calvin gave a small nod, though his face was still sullen. "But Mommy said Daddy won't leave again." Celine was silent for a moment. She knew this little lie wasn't a good solution, but she also didn't know how to explain the situation to Calvin. "Daddy's only gone for a l

At Nico's apartmentNico's cell phone vibrated on the small table in front of him. He immediately grabbed it when he saw Celine's name on the screen. "Hello?" "Nico," Celine's voice sounded firm, though a little hurried. "Can you go to the hospital now? Calvin keeps looking for you. He's starting to run a fever again, probably from too much stress." Nico stood up immediately. "I'll be there now." Before he could grab his jacket, his mother sitting on the sofa gave him a sharp look. "Wait a minute, Nico." "I don't have time, Mom," Nico replied quickly, but his mother was already standing and blocking his way. "This is your chance," his mother said in a low, stressful voice. "Celine asked you to go there. She needs you. Use this to make her see that you can still be her savior." Nico sighed loudly, frustrated. "This isn't about me or Celine, Mom. This is about Calvin. That boy is sick!" "Exactly," his mother replied quickly, her eyes narrowing. "And who's there for Calvin?

In the Hospital CorridorAfter making sure Calvin was fast asleep, Nico and Celine stood facing each other outside the room. The corridor was quiet, only the sound of the hospital staff's steps could be heard occasionally passing by. "Celine," Nico began, his voice low, almost a whisper. "I want to talk about something important." Celine looked at him with a flat expression. "What else, Nico?" Nico bowed his head, trying to string together the right words. "I know I'm nothing now. Everything I used to have, it's all gone. I lost everything, including you. And it's my fault." Celine remained silent, waiting for what Nico would say next. "But I don't want to continue like this," Nico continued, his voice starting to sound more determined. "I want to get back on my feet, Celine. I want to work, build my career from scratch. I want to be able to stand on my own feet, without having to rely on anyone." "So?" asked Celine briefly, her eyes narrowed, trying to read Nico's intenti

Morning at the HospitalAll night, Celine couldn't sleep. Nico's words kept ringing in her mind. She knew Nico had made many mistakes in the past, but his earnestness that night felt different. There was an honesty in the man's gaze that she found hard to ignore. As the sun began to rise, Celine finally decided on something. She picked up her cell phone and typed a short message to Devano. [Meet me at the office this morning. We need to talk]-Celine's Office Devano knocked politely on Celine's office door, then entered after being invited. The man wore a neat suit as usual, his face calm yet thoughtful. "Is there anything I need to do, ma'am?" asked Devano, sitting in the chair in front of Celine's desk. Celine looked at her faithful assistant, then sighed softly. "I need you to open access for Nico." Devano raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised. "Open access? By that you mean, removing his name from the blacklist of companies in this city?" Celine nodded. "Yes. She s

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

Nico arrived at the mansion with slightly irregular breathing. He hadn't even changed his clothes, still wearing a slightly wrinkled shirt. He went straight to the main room, hoping Celine hadn't woken up yet. However, his hopes were dashed when he saw Celine already standing in front of the mirror, wearing a neat blazer, smoothing her makeup with a flat expression. Celine stared at her reflection, as if she didn't care that Nico had just come home. "Celine..." Nico's voice was full of caution. Celine remained silent, only taking her handbag and checking her cell phone. Nico approached, then said in a low tone, "I can explain." Celine finally turned around, looking at him with a faint smile-a smile that looked more like mockery. "Explain what?" Nico sighed. "Last night, Elissa called me. She said she was kidnapped. I panicked and went straight to rescue her." Celine looked at him expressionlessly. Nico continued, "I fought with those three jerks. They almost hurt her

Three o'clockCeline squirmed softly, her body still feeling tired after a warm night with Nico. But when her hand felt the side of the bed, where Nico should have been, there was only the coldness of empty sheets. Her brow furrowed. "Nico?" she muttered half-consciously. She looked at the digital clock on the bedside table. Three o'clock in the morning. Why wasn't Nico there? Where had he gone? A bad feeling started to come over her. She got up, grabbed her cell phone on the table, and immediately made a video call to Nico's number. The dial tone sounded several times. There was no answer. Celine began to get nervous. But just as she was about to hang up, the call suddenly connected. Elissa, who had been waiting for this moment, immediately went into action. With her eyes half closed, she pretended to wake up and picked up the call. She had arranged her position in such a way, lying next to Nico who was still asleep. He blinked a few times, pretending not to realize
Shattered Trust: The Revenge of a Billionaire's Ex-Wife Chapter 96
Elissa sat on the cold floor, her hands tied behind a rickety old chair. Her tears flowed freely, her head bowed, her body trembling with fear. Her clothes were rumpled, her cheeks wet with tears. Three men stood in front of her with gazes full of pleasure, like hungry wolves eyeing their prey. "Damn, she finally came..." One of the men glanced at his watch with a grin. Before long, the sound of footsteps echoed in the stuffy, narrow hallway. The rusty metal door opened with a bang, and there, stood Nico with a face full of anger. Nico's eyes turned red at Elissa's sorry state. His jaw hardened, his hands clenched into fists. "Let her go," Nico's voice was low, but threatening. The tallest man stepped forward, grinning. "Oh? So you really came? I didn't expect you to be this brave." Nico gave him a sharp look. "I don't want to beat around the bush. What do you want?" The man chuckled. "It's simple. I'm Elissa's ex. And she owes me a huge debt. So, if you want her free,
