The living room lights were still on even though it was past midnight. Nico sat on the sofa, laptop on his lap, a serious look on his face. He was reviewing reports and presentations for a new project at work. Although he is tired, there is a burning passion in his heart. He wants to prove to himself - and to Celine - that he can rise to the occasion. As he was typing, he heard soft steps coming from the kitchen. Nico lifted his head and saw Celine walking slowly with a sleepy face. Her slightly messy hair made her look different from usual, more relaxed, more human. Celine did not notice Nico's presence in the living room. She went straight to the kitchen to get a glass of mineral water. After pouring the water into the glass, she turned around with a slightly hurried step. But suddenly, she winced in pain. "Ouch!" Celine exclaimed softly. Her leg was sprained and her body lost its balance. Nico, who was watching from the sofa, immediately reflexively moved. Within seconds, h

nico arrived at celine's office just in time for lunch. wearing a simple white shirt with rolled up sleeves, he walked confidently through the company's grand lobby. he knew where celine's office was, so he headed straight for the elevator without hesitation. Arriving at the floor where the CEO's office was, Nico stepped up to the reception desk. "Is Celine in?" he asked politely. The receptionist looked at him for a moment, somewhat confused by Nico's casual attitude, then replied, "Just a moment, let me check first, sir." Shortly after, the door to celine's office opened. she was seen examining a thick document while talking to devano. upon seeing nico, she only glanced briefly then refocused on her document. "What are you doing here, nico?" she asked without looking directly at him. "I wanted to take you to lunch," Nico replied in a calm tone despite being a little distressed at Celine's cold demeanor. Celine looked up, her expression unchanged. "I'm busy, Nico. I have

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

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

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
