Shattered Trust: The Revenge of a Billionaire's Ex-Wife If you're not appreciated, why stay?
After a long day at work, Nico decided to drop by his mother Maria's house. The small house always felt quiet, even though it was often filled with notes of intrigue and advice that he didn't always expect. Maria was sitting in the living room, reading a magazine when Nico walked in. She took one look at her son and immediately knew something was wrong. "Why is your face so wrinkled?" she asked as she closed the magazine and placed it on the table. Nico let out a long sigh and sat on the sofa in front of her. "I'm tired, Mom. Not tired of work, but tired of Celine's attitude." Maria frowned, trying to assess the meaning of her son's words. "What did she do again this time?" Nico looked up, his gaze full of disappointment. "She... she doesn't respect me anymore, Mom. I know this marriage is just a contract, but it feels like I'm not considered at all. Even now she's getting close to another man." Maria squinted, clearly not happy to hear that. "Another man? Who, does he dar

When Nico returned to the mansion that afternoon, the feeling of being tired from work was immediately replaced by a heart-stopping sight. In the front yard, Bryan was playing soccer with Calvin. His son's joyful laughter echoed out, making Nico stand transfixed. Calvin, who was running a little after the ball, suddenly saw Nico. His face immediately brightened. "Daddy!" he exclaimed as he ran over. Nico crouched down, opening his arms to hug Calvin. The boy hugged him tightly, as excited as ever. "Hi, Calvin. Daddy's home. Who are you playing with? " " Uncle Bryan!" Calvin pointed at Bryan who was approaching them with a friendly smile. "Uncle Bryan taught me how to kick the ball like a professional soccer player, Daddy!

Nico neatly set the dining table. The dinner was quite special-his own handmade food. While cutting the last vegetable for the salad, he glanced at Celine who was sitting in the living room, busy with her cell phone. Calvin sat beside his mother, drawing something in his sketchbook. "Celine, dinner is ready," Nico called in a soft tone. Celine looked up briefly, raising an eyebrow. "I'm not hungry yet." Nico didn't give up. He knew Celine's coldness was a huge wall that he had to slowly break down. "If Calvin is hungry, don't you want to accompany him to eat?" Calvin immediately looked up, hearing his name being called. "Mommy, I'm hungry! Let's eat!" he exclaimed while tugging on his mother's hand. Celine sighed, giving in to Calvin's insistence. "Okay," she said finally, standing up. At the dining table, Calvin immediately sat in his chair and began to eat voraciously. Celine sat opposite Nico, her gaze remaining cold. Nico, although nervous, tried to break the ice. "I

"Celine, this is Ruby. She is my lover, my future wife."It was like being struck by lightning in broad daylight when Celine heard from the mouth of Nicolas - her husband - that the beautiful woman was his girlfriend. Celine was shocked beyond belief. In front of her stood Nicolas holding hands with a beautiful woman he had never met before. The woman smiled sweetly at her, as if she didn't feel the slightest bit guilty."Your lover? Your future wife?" repeated Celine in a trembling voice. "Yes, Celine. She is my future wife!" said Nicolas firmly. Celine shook her head in disbelief at the surprise given by her husband on the day of their fifth wedding anniversary.

Celine was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her wedding photo album with Nicolas. She still couldn't believe that it was the fifth anniversary of their marriage, and last night her husband had brought another woman into the house."I will try to survive for the sake of the child that has grown in my womb," Celine whispered, her eyes looking sad. Since last night, she had never stopped crying.Then Celine heard the sound of footsteps. When she turned her head towards the door, she saw Ruby standing in the doorway. Ruby's smile looked mocking. "Celine, I want to talk," Ruby said sarcastically, the woman stepped closer to Celine. Celine closed her wedding photo album and stood up. Celine ventured to look at Ruby with her swollen eyes. "What's wrong, Ruby?" asked Celine trying to smile in front of the woman who became her husband's lover. Ruby scrunched up her waist, her smile looking sardonic. "I want you to move out of the main room. I will sleep in this room. This room is

"I will not go. And I will make my husband retract his words. In the end, Nico will definitely keep me as his wife. Because I -""Enough, Celine!" snapped Mrs. Maria cutting Celine off."Why, Mom?" asked Celine with a faint smile. "Are you afraid?" "Already... already!" said Nicolas, "We'll see, ma'am, if Celine will be able to prove what she said!" Nicolas challenged Celine. "We'll see," Celine said, pulling up a chair and getting up to go upstairs.Nicolas held one hand of Ruby who was sitting next to him. "You don't have to think about what he said, darling. I will still make you my wife," Nicolas said reassuringly. "Yes, Nico, I believe you," Ruby said. Madame Maria and Mr. Morgan could only hope that Celine would give up and walk away from their son's life. "Nico, you should just ask Celine to prepare your wedding party with Ruby," Mrs. Maria suggested, hoping that this way, Celine would give in. "Well, mom's right, dear. Celine should take care of our wedding. Then we can

At seven in the evening, Nico had just gotten home from work. Celine, who was waiting for him, immediately greeted him with a warm smile, even though she was not in a good mood. "You must be tired, honey," Celine said gently. Nicolas only replied with a brief nod, his face looking irritated. Celine tried to keep smiling, even though her heart was hurting even more. Not long after, Ruby appeared from the direction of the living room with a big smile. "Honey..." Nico immediately embraced and kissed Ruby passionately on the lips in front of Celine.Celine looked down, trying to hide the pain that was increasingly squeezing her heart. "Oh my God... make me strong," Celine whispered. After removing the kiss, Nico looked at Celine coldly. "Celine, I have a task for you."Celine raised her face, trying to remain calm. "What is it, Nico?""I want you to organize my wedding party with Ruby," Nico said dispassionately.Celine was dumbfounded. "Nico, that's impossible. I don't want to." Ce

Bryan approached Celine who was still standing in front of the restaurant, her eyes looking regretful. He touched Celine's arm gently, trying to get her attention. "Celine, I'm really sorry," Bryan said softly. "I shouldn't have been so presumptuous earlier. I got too carried away. I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable." Celine looked at Bryan for a moment, her face still tense. "You were wrong, Bryan," she replied firmly. "I don't like being treated like that, especially in public." Bryan nodded, admitting his mistake. "I understand. I just... I just wanted to show my feelings. But I didn't mean to hurt your feelings or make you angry." Celine let out a long sigh. She was actually tired of all the drama tonight. "I guess I'd better go home now. Thank you for your time, Bryan. Let's talk about this another time." Bryan bowed his head slightly, making way for Celine. "Sure. Again, I'm sorry. I hope you can forget about it." Celine did not answer. She just turned arou

That night, Nico felt that something was wrong. His mind was full of images of Celine. Her message this afternoon seemed strange. Determined, he opened the tracking app he had installed on Celine's phone for security reasons. Celine's location point appeared, and it was at a fancy restaurant in the city center. Without thinking, Nico grabbed his jacket and left. Arriving at the restaurant, Nico peered inside through the large glass on the outside. His eyes immediately fell on a table in the corner of the room, where Celine was sitting with a man. Bryan was leaning slightly forward, his face so close to Celine. The man smiled, trying to kiss Celine's lips who looked shocked and didn't have time to move. Nico's anger immediately peaked. He walked inside with quick steps, approaching them regardless of the eyes of the people around him. Without a word, Nico grabbed Bryan roughly by the collar and hit him so hard that he almost fell out of his chair. "Don't touch my wife!" he ex

In Celine's OfficeCeline is sitting at her desk, her eyes glued to a document that needs to be signed. She seemed focused, trying to finish her work before lunchtime. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and her secretary entered with quick steps. "Sorry to interrupt, Mrs. Celine. Mr. Bryan wants to see you. Should I ask you to wait?" Celine raised her head, slightly surprised. "Bryan? Just tell him to come in." The secretary nodded and rushed out. Not long after, Bryan stepped in with a big smile. The man was dressed in a neat suit, his aura exuding confidence. He carried a red rose in his hand. "Celine," he greeted her in a warm tone. Celine smiled slightly. "Bryan. What brings you here?" Bryan walked over, placing the red rose on Celine's desk. "I just wanted to meet. Besides, I couldn't resist giving you this." Celine looked at the rose for a moment, then back at Bryan. "You came all the way just to give me this? Or is there something else?" she asked, crossing h

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

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
