Billionaire Ex-Husband Wants Me Back, But I Want Revenge 110
The dimly lit basement was filled with tension as Celine, Dimitri, and a handful of rebel leaders huddled around a large map of the capital. The air smelled of damp stone and burning candles, the faint hum of voices outside a reminder of the unrest brewing in the city above.“We don’t have much time,” said Tomas, one of the key rebel leaders. He tapped a finger on the map, where the presidential palace was circled in red. “Santos’s forces are stretched thin because of the protests, but they’re still strong. We’ll need a coordinated attack to stand a chance.”Celine studied the map, her mind racing. “What’s the weakest point of the palace defenses?”“The eastern gate,” Tomas replied. “But it’s heavily guarded. We’ll need a diversion—something to draw their attention while our main force moves in.”Dimitri, standing beside Celine, crossed his arms. “We can target Santos’s communication towers. If we take those down, his forces won’t be able to coordinate. It’ll give us an advantage.”To

The air was heavy with silence as Celine and Dimitri fled the palace under the cover of darkness. The narrow alleyways and shadows of the capital offered them refuge, but her mind was racing far faster than their footsteps. Santos’s words echoed in her head: “Ask Dimitri about his role in all this.”“Is it true?” she asked sharply, her voice cutting through the quiet.Dimitri glanced at her but didn’t respond immediately.“Dimitri!” she pressed, stopping abruptly. Her eyes blazed as she stepped in front of him. “Did you work with him?”He sighed, his shoulders sagging under the weight of her accusation. “Yes,” he admitted quietly.Celine staggered back as though he had struck her. “You… you worked with my father? You helped him do all this?”“It wasn’t what you think,” Dimitri said, his voice desperate. “It was years ago, before I understood the kind of man he really was. He approached me after my military service, offered me a position in his inner circle. I thought I was protecting

Celine’s hands were bound, the coarse rope biting into her wrists. She sat rigid in the back of the armored vehicle as it bumped along the uneven road leading to the presidential palace. Dimitri sat beside her, his jaw clenched, his eyes scanning the surroundings for a way out.“We’ll find a way,” he murmured, his voice low but resolute.Celine didn’t respond. Her mind raced, filled with a mix of dread and determination. If this was how it ended, she would make sure Santos faced the truth—even if it cost her everything.The gates of the palace loomed ahead, the cold, gray structure as imposing as ever. Soldiers lined the perimeter, their rifles glinting in the harsh sunlight. The vehicle stopped, and the doors were flung open.“Out,” barked one of the guards.As they were escorted through the grand halls, memories of her childhood flashed through Celine’s mind. The laughter, the banquets, the moments she had once believed were filled with love—all of it now tainted by betrayal.Finall

The capital was unrecognizable. As Celine and Dimitri slipped through a hidden tunnel that opened into the outskirts of the city, the chaos above them became undeniable. Smoke curled into the sky from burning barricades, and the air was filled with the sound of shouting, chanting, and the distant crack of gunfire.“This isn’t the city I remember,” Celine whispered, peering from the shadows into the crowded streets.Dimitri pulled her back, his hand firm on her arm. “Keep your hood up. There are too many eyes here.”They stayed close to the walls of the narrow alleyway, careful not to draw attention to themselves. Protesters surged through the streets, their faces angry and determined as they chanted, “Down with Santos! Justice for the people!”Celine’s heart clenched. She wanted to join them, to raise her voice alongside theirs, but she knew that being seen now would put everyone in greater danger.“Let’s move,” Dimitri said, guiding her through the maze of side streets.Their destina

The rhythmic clatter of the train wheels was the only sound in the dimly lit car. Celine and Dimitri exchanged tense glances as the man they’d identified as one of Santos’s former bodyguards sat a few rows away, his posture too casual to be natural.“I’ll handle this,” Dimitri murmured, rising slowly.“Be careful,” Celine whispered, gripping his hand for a moment before letting him go.Dimitri walked down the aisle, his steps deliberate, and stopped beside the man’s seat. “You’ve been following us,” he said, his voice low and firm.The man looked up, his face impassive. “If I wanted to harm you, I would’ve done it by now.”“That’s not an answer,” Dimitri snapped, his hand resting on the concealed weapon at his side.The man sighed and leaned back. “My name is Rian. I used to work for your father, but I don’t anymore. I’ve defected.”Celine leaned forward from her seat, her heart pounding. “Why would we believe that?”Rian’s gaze shifted to her. “Because I’ve seen what he’s done. What

Celine sat at the edge of the bed, staring out the window as the sun dipped below the horizon. Days of sleepless nights had worn her down, her mind torn between the quiet life she had wanted and the cries of her people that haunted her dreams.Finally, she spoke, her voice steady yet filled with emotion. “I can’t stay here anymore, Dimitri.”Dimitri, leaning against the doorframe, froze. He had known this moment was coming, but hearing the words made his chest tighten. “What are you saying, Celine?”She turned to face him, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. “I have to go back. To the capital. To him.”His jaw clenched. “To your father? After everything he’s done to you? After all the times he’s tried to use and destroy you?”Celine nodded. “Yes. I have to face him. I have to stop him. I can’t sit here hiding while people are dying because of him.”Dimitri crossed the room, sitting beside her. His voice softened, though it still carried an edge of frustration. “You know what this m

The small café in the coastal town was nearly empty as Celine sat in the corner, her hood pulled low over her face. She glanced nervously at the door, her mind still reeling from seeing Linda in the marketplace. The woman who had once worked so closely with Caleb now sat across from her, a faint sm

The small coastal town was bustling that morning, fishermen hauling in their nets, children chasing each other through the narrow streets, and vendors calling out their wares. Dimitri moved cautiously through the crowds, his cap pulled low to obscure his face. Though he often came here for supplies

The sun streamed through the windows of the small villa, illuminating the papers Edric had laid out across the dining table. Celine’s hands trembled as she picked up one of the documents, her eyes scanning the damning words scrawled across the page.“These are contracts,” she murmured, her voice he

A man emerged from the foliage, stumbling onto their property. His clothes were torn, his face gaunt, and his breath came in ragged gasps.“Who are you?” Dimitri demanded, stepping in front of Celine protectively.The man raised his hands, showing he was unarmed. “Wait! Please!” he gasped. “I mean
