Chapter 100: Take Over

Athena opened her mouth to respond, but Franco turned away, leaving her sitting on the bed. He didn’t want to continue the argument that had been going in circles for months now. The truth was, there was nothing more to say. The decision had been made in his heart a long time ago.He grabbed his car keys and left the house, feeling the weight of his decision with every step. The drive to the office was a blur, his mind racing with thoughts of everything he was about to lose.But amidst the chaos, there was a strange sense of relief. This was the first step toward reclaiming his life, and even though it was painful, it felt necessary.When Franco arrived at the company, he headed straight for the conference room. The important announcement he had to make weighed heavily on his mind.He had rehearsed the speech a hundred times, but now, standing at the door of the room where his employees were already gathered, he felt a wave of doubt crash over him. Could he really do this?He pushed t

Chapter 101: Detachment

Franco looked up, shocked by her words. He had anticipated a difficult conversation, but this was not the Celine he had known. There was no empathy, no understanding in her eyes—only a hardened resolve. Her dominance and arrogance were palpable, filling the room with an uncomfortable tension.“Celine,” Franco began, trying to keep his voice steady, “just give me a little more time. I need to pack my things and say goodbye to this place, to my office.”Celine’s expression remained cold as she crossed her arms over her chest.“I can’t wait, Franco. You’ve had enough time. If you’re not out of here soon, I’ll back out of the deal, and you’ll owe me the hundred million dollars you agreed to. You know the consequences if you can’t pay.”Franco sighed, unable to believe how drastically she had changed.The woman who had once been his wife was now treating him like an obstacle, something to be dealt with swiftly and without compassion. He stood up slowly, facing her, hoping to find some trac

Chapter 102: New CEO

Celine sat at her new desk, the polished surface reflecting the muted light of the late afternoon. The office had an air of triumph about it—her triumph. She had finally achieved what she had been working towards for years. The title of CEO was now hers, and the company, once Franco’s pride and joy, was under her control. A sense of satisfaction mixed with a tinge of bitterness settled over her as she thought back to how she had treated Franco just hours ago.She had been harsh, cold, and even cruel. But who could blame her? Franco had it coming. He had made his choices, and she had made hers. The memory of their confrontation played on repeat in her mind.“Why are you still sitting there? It’s time to get out of my office and leave the company, “Franco had looked at her with a mixture of shock and resignation. He hadn’t fought back, hadn’t argued, just nodded and gathered his things. The sight of him walking out, shoulders slumped and eyes dark with unspoken emotions, had tugged at

Chapter 103: Waiting

“What about?” Celine asked, trying to read his expression. “Let’s go out tonight. Just you, me, and Connor. We can have dinner, relax, and forget about work for a few hours.”Celine hesitated. The idea of stepping away, even for a little while, was tempting, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that there was still so much left to do.“I don’t know, Harvey,” she said. “I have so much on my plate right now.”“That’s exactly why you need this,” Harvey insisted. “You’re burning yourself out, Celine. And Connor—he misses you. I miss you.”The mention of Connor tugged at her heart. She knew she hadn’t been as present for him as she should have been, and the guilt gnawed at her.“Okay,” she said finally. “Dinner sounds nice.”Harvey’s face lit up with a smile. “Great. I’ll pick you up at six. We’ll go somewhere nice.”Celine nodded, feeling a small sense of relief. Maybe a night out would do her some good.As Harvey stood to leave, he paused, turning back to her. “Oh, and I thought it would

Chapter 104: Into him

The sincerity in Harvey’s voice struck a chord deep within Celine. She nodded, knowing that his patience was a rare and precious thing.“I’ll think about it,” she said, her eyes meeting his. “I promise.”As they reached her home, the front porch light illuminated their faces, casting long shadows on the ground. The night was still, but Celine could feel the heaviness of their conversation lingering in the air. She leaned in to give Harvey a gentle kiss on the cheek, a sign of her appreciation and affection.“Goodnight, Harvey,” she said softly. “Thank you for understanding.”Harvey returned the kiss with a tender smile. “Goodnight, Celine. Take care.”With a final glance at her, he turned and walked back towards his car, leaving Celine standing alone on the porch. She watched him go, feeling a complex mix of emotions—gratitude, affection, and uncertainty. Once he was out of sight, she turned and went inside, her heart heavy with the weight of her decisions.Connor was already in his p

Replacement of her

Celine shook her head, her voice firm but weary. “No, it’s not love for Franco anymore. I’m not holding onto him out of some lingering affection. It’s more about the uncertainty of moving forward, about the fear of making a decision that might bring more pain.”Martha gave a reassuring nod. “It’s understandable to have doubts, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. What’s important is that you’re being honest with yourself and with Harvey. It’s not about rushing into marriage or any formal commitment. It’s about finding a path that feels right for you and Connor, Madam”Celine sighed deeply, her shoulders sagging as she leaned against the counter. “I know. And I want to make the right decision. Harvey has shown me a side of life that’s stable and caring. But there’s a part of me that’s still hesitant, unsure of what the future holds.”Martha smiled wa

Chapter 106: Whatever it takes

Celine's phone rang at the most inopportune moment. The sharp sound cut through the room, and her heart skipped a beat as she glanced at the screen. It was Martha and seeing her name flash across the display filled Celine with a sense of dread. Martha never called during work hours unless it was an emergency.“Excuse me,” Celine muttered to the audience, her voice tight, before stepping aside to answer.The room fell into a tense silence, the anticipation still hanging thick in the air. Irene, sensing something was wrong, turned to watch Celine, concern etched on her face.“Martha, what’s wrong?” Celine asked, her voice low but urgent.“Madam Celine, it’s Connor! He collapsed at school, and they’ve taken him to the hospital,” Martha’s voice was frantic, trembling with panic. “They said it’s serious, you need to come now!”Celine’s world spun for a moment. Her grip on the phone tightened, her knuckles white as she fought to steady herself. Everything around her—the murmurs from the aud

Chapter 107: Harvey's Love

Dr. Harris’s face grew more serious. "Unfortunately, we're out of stock of Connor's blood type. We need to find a donor urgently."Celine's mind raced. She had no idea where to turn. The hospital's blood bank was clearly out of options. In her panic, she turned to Martha who had been standing quietly at the back, her face a mask of worry."Martha, do you have any suggestions? Anyone who might be able to help us?" Celine asked desperately.Martha hesitated, her eyes darting to the floor. "There’s one person who might be able to help us... Franco."At the mention of Franco, a surge of anger and frustration welled up inside Celine."I don't want to involve Franco," Celine snapped, her voice laced with frustration. "There must be another way."Just then, the door to the waiting room swung open, and Harvey rushed in. His face was pale, eyes wide with concern. "Celine, what’s going on? I heard there was an emergency."Celine felt a wave of relief and apprehension wash over her at the sight

Chapter 108: Threatened

The following morning, as sunlight filtered through the curtains, Connor woke up with tears streaming down his face. Celine, always attuned to her son's emotions, immediately felt a pang of worry. She rushed to his side, her heart pounding with anxiety."What's wrong, sweetheart?" she asked softly, brushing the tears from his cheeks. Connor's small body trembled as he tried to catch his breath."I had a dream about Daddy," he whispered, his voice tinged with sadness. "Not Harvey... my other daddy, Franco. I remember when he gave me blood before. He used to call me his little buddy..."Celine's heart clenched at the mention of Franco. She had worked so hard to distance Connor from him, believing it was for the best, but she couldn't erase the bond they had once shared.She took a deep breath, steadying herself. "Connor, Franco isn't here anymore, but you have Harvey now. He loves you and is here for us both."Connor looked up at her with wide, searching eyes. "But I miss Franco, Mommy.

Chapter 109: Concern

Celine relaxed slightly in his embrace, but the unease didn’t leave her. She could feel the tension in Harvey's body, the weight of whatever threat had just been made. As he held her, she couldn’t help but wonder what kind of trouble he was in and how deep it went."Connor's recovery," she repeated, almost as if reminding herself. "That’s what matters."Harvey pulled back slightly to look at her, his expression softening as he brushed a strand of hair from her face. "Exactly. And we're making progress with him. He's getting stronger every day."Celine nodded, grateful for that bit of good news. Connor had been through so much, and she wanted to protect him from anything that could disrupt the fragile stability they had managed to build. "You're right," she said, forcing a smile. "We just have to keep moving forward."Harvey kissed her forehead, a gesture meant to reassure both of them. "I'll take care of everything else," he said. "You just focus on Connor and yourself."But as the ev
