Chapter 140 Vivian’s return
Last Updated:
2025-03-23 13:55:24Renee wandered aimlessly on the street, engulfed by the impact of Naomi’s recent actions and words.
The accumulated pain evolved into a state of depression, a heavy burden on her chest, impeding her breathing.
Abruptly, Renee yearned to be with Marcelo.
Retrieving her phone, she scrolled to his contact.
Renee hesitated over her decision to call him.
She feared she might interrupt his work.
Feeling down and not wanting to go home, she chose to visit Venus Bar instead.
Realizing it had been a while since she saw Sarah, she rang her to see if Sarah would like to meet at Venus Bar.
“Sure, I'll be there soon."Sarah’s voice sounded tired and troubled, as though she had gone through a tough time.
*******************************************
An hour passed.
The door to the private room swung open.
"Sarah, I..."Renee stopped mid-sentence when she saw the tall man entering alongside Sarah.

Renee had only ever seen pictures of Vivian. Yet, from a distance, she was sure that the woman was indeed Vivian.Vivian, in real life, looked even more charming and radiant than in her photos.She sat next to Marcelo, her poise effortless, tinged with a playful, girlish charm.She was deep in conversation with Damian.They seemed familiar with each other. Vivian, not paying much attention to Marcelo, still angled her knees towards him.This was a subtle sign of her interest in Marcelo.Renee’s eyes narrowed, and she stopped in her tracks.The black jacket on Vivian’s shoulders... It belonged to Marcelo!Renee recognized the jacket she had picked out for Marcelo this morning, its unique collar standing out.It made sense for two old friends to sit down and share a drink together.But why was Vivian wearing his jacket?A server spotted Renee by the corner of the stairs, her lovely face displaying a mix o

Marcelo requested Luke to obtain Rocco’s contact and promptly dialed the number."Hello, Mr. Hudson, Marcelo speaking," he announced as soon as the call was connected.Rocco was surprised, but quickly settled into a friendly chat with Marcelo, unperturbed by being addressed formally despite being his father-in-law.Marcelo courteously endured a brief period of flattery before interjecting. "I'm calling to extend birthday wishes to Naomi and to inquire if today's invitation for my wife is solely for the birthday or if there's another motive."His question subtly questioned if the real intent was to involve Renee in something else under the guise of a birthday celebration.Despite discussing seemingly mundane matters, Marcelo’s tone conveyed an understated intensity, causing Rocco to feel an inexplicable pressure.“What's on your mind, Mr. King?" Rocco asked, his initial thought being that Renee might have expressed concerns to Marcelo.“Mr. Hudson, I just want to ensure that my wife is

Marcelo pulled up to the main building in his car. He glanced upwards, noticing the master bedroom first.The room was dark.Could it be that Renee hadn't returned yet?“Is Renee home?" As soon as Marcelo walked into the house, he asked the servant a question."Mrs. King is already in her room for a while," the servant replied.Marcelo swung the master bedroom door open, and in the soft moonlight, he noticed her in the center of the bed. It moved almost imperceptibly, synchronized with Renee’s quiet breaths.A frown crept onto Marcelo’s face.Renee hadn't left a light on for him.This marked the first occasion since their marriage that she had gone to bed early, yet she didn't leave any lights on for him.Usually, if he was not in the room, a floor lamp would be lit.Though unspoken, this small gesture always brought joy to Marcelo, as if Ellie was waiting for him.But her unusual behavior tonight stirred a sense of unease in him.However, this feeling disappeared in an instant.Maybe

The moment Marcelo stepped into the bathroom, he quickly messaged Luke, requesting him to find out if there had been any quarrel between Renee and the Hudsons.After his second shower, Marcelo received a reply: "There was no quarrel."he remained in the dark about what had transpired with Renee at the Hudson’s place. This led him to ponder whether he should place a spy within the Hudson household.Renee repeatedly tried to hypnotize herself to sleep, but it wasn't until Marcelo returned to bed that sleep finally embraced her.She made a conscious effort not to resist as he pulled her firmly into his embrace once more.Marcelo noticed her body gradually relaxing, which made him feel somewhat relieved.He always felt disturbed and sad whenever she resisted or be distance towards him."There's a chief stylist role available at Harvillston. What do you think about taking it?" Judging from her unsteady breaths,Marcelo was certain that Renee was not asleep yet.Only then did Renee recall th

Did her reluctance to share mean a lack of trust in him? Couldn't she trust him?After all, he was her husband, so why couldn't she trust him?After a moment,Marcelo set aside his unease, gently smoothing her hair. "Okay,I’ll be here anytime you’re ready to talk," he conceded, granting her the time she requested.Renee was deeply involved in reinvigorating the top private high-end brand STAR, which had stagnated in recent years. Her task was to inject fresh life into the brand, creating a new, eye-catching identity.For the next several days, Renee was at the KM Group, liaising with STAR’s team.She collaborated with show directors, costume designers, and choreographers, overseeing every detail for the upcoming makeup styling and show. Her schedule was packed."Miss Hudson, you've received an invitation from Harvillston." As the initial phase of the project neared completion, the KM Group's liaison approached her.Renee’s schedule had been packed lately. She left early and returned la

The previous night,Vivian had asked Anna about Marcelo’s schedule because she wanted to come return the jacket.Anna had promised to notify her, and this afternoon, she called her and told her that Marcelo was free.Vivian had found it a little strange, but she didn't think too much of it."Mr. King is usually busy every day. But today, he's free,"Anna said to her. "In fact, he's usually very efficient, but he is often late nowadays, so he has to get off late from work.""Why is he late?"Vivian asked curiously."He doesn't actually come too late to work per se,"Anna clarified. "It's just that the morning meetings are usually postponed since he doesn't come early enough to attend it. It seems he's spending more time at home with Miss Hudson."By now, they had reached the door of the CEO's office.Anna knocked and pushed it open. "Miss Lambert, please come in," she said to Vivian.But Vivian didn't hear her. Her mind was somewhere else. She was still thinking about what Anna had revealed

"Miss Lambert, do you need me to get someone to take you home?" Luke offered."No, thanks. I drove here by myself. I can take myself...Wait!"A thought had suddenly entered Vivian’s mind. Without thinking twice, she quickly asked him, "Luke, I heard you say... Mrs. King, right?"She was sure that she had heard those words, but she just needed to be sure. Part of her just couldn't accept the implication behind those words."Miss Lambert, it's better for you to ask Mr. King about it personally," Luke suggested.If Anna had been in the office right now, she would have noticed that something was wrong. Luke was a very cautious person. If he wanted to conceal Marcelo’s marriage from Vivian, he would definitely not have called Renee "Mrs. King". Instead, he would have just called her the usual "Miss Hudson".Vivian remained silent as she ran this through her head.Could Marcelo really be married?He was married to Renee?How could this be?Vivian had always thought Marcelo was not going to

Excited murmurs from other girls in the cafe reached Rebee’s ears."Look at that guy, he's so good-looking!""Yes, handsome for sure, but there's something intimidating about his eyes!""He seems to be staring at our cafe. I wonder who he's watching?""Marcelo..." The name slipped from Renee’s lips without her even realizing.What was he doing here?Howard noticed where Renee was looking and saw Marcelo, furrowing his brows slightly."Renee, did he come here for you?""I'm not sure,"Renee answered, averting her eyes.She genuinely didn't know. Shouldn't he be with Vivian at this time?Or maybe Vivian was in the car with him?Marcelo had been informed by one of his people that Renee was at the school. Watching her sitting there, laughing with Howard, he felt a surge of unexplained anger.When Renee looked at him and then calmly looked away, as if she didn't even recognize him, he felt a pang of annoyance.She chatted with Howard, but pretended she didn't know him?"Welcome, can I help

Marcelo woke up the following morning with Renee in his arms.He sighed in content as he pressed a kiss to her forehead.She was still asleep.His cellphone rang and he quickly reached for it not wanting to wake Renee up.It was Luke.“We have a problem,sir.Paul has passed away.”Luke informed him.Marcelo grimaced and slowly got out of the bed,careful not to wake Renee.As soon as he walked out of the bedroom,he said.“Talk to me.”“The hidden cameras caught Gary bringing him coffee,he drank it and it led to his death.He also said some incriminating words that meant he poisoned the coffee if we were to use it in court.But there’s more.He sent his men out there to look for a perfect chance to kidnap Renee.”And that made Marcelo’s fingers clenched around his cellphone.This was the last straw!For so many years,he had thought his father’s death was just an accident but after the accident that claimed his brother’s life as well.He became certain that someone wanted to eliminate his who

I know.I could feel every bit of it.“I love you.”He said again and leaned over to kiss me.His kiss was deep, slow and sensual.He moved one of his hand down and guided the tip of his shaft inside me.And I came immediately,my own body taking me by surprise.A wave of sensual electricity jolted me from my core.My body shuddered from my toes to the top of my head and the contractions in the core of my body filled me with incredible pleasure.After it was all over,I opened my eyes,I saw Marcelo looking down at me with a grin.“You came already?”He teased.”That was just the tip.”I blushed a deep red.I haven’t come this fast before since I started having sex with him but tonight I was incredibly turned on more than ever,by his words, by the way he kissed me,by the way he touched me so just the slightest bit of his cock was enough to send me over the edge.I pouted.”I…I love you so much,that’s why.”He stared at me for a while as if processing what he had just heard.I placed my hand o

As soon as Marcelo walked into the house that day,Renee ran up to him and hugged him.He smiled as he stroke her hair.“Did you watch the press conference?”She nodded.“I’m sorry that I didn’t inform you about announcing our marriage to the public first…I…”She lifted up her head to stare at his face.“I’m not upset.I’m glad that everyone knows I’m your wife.”Marcelo beamed at her.”And I am glad that everyone knows that this incredible woman is mine.”She smiled,broadly.“I was thinking,maybe we could have a wedding ceremony.”He suggested.She bit her lower lip.”I’d like to walk down the aisle to you.”He leaned down and kissed her deeply.“I’m curious about something.”She suddenly let out.“About what?”He asked.“Were you disappointed or happy when Wyatt confirmed I wasn’t pregnant?”“Disappointed.”He replied,honestly.“Really?”“Yeah. I always thought I didn’t want marriage or children but Renee,I want everything with you.I want to experience everything only with you.”Renee giggl

That night,Gary couldn’t sleep.He paced to and fro thinking about the fact that Marcelo just keeps surprising them recently.Firstly,from thinking he was a disabled loser to finding out he owned the most powerful company in the country.And now,he wasn’t disabled!That nephew of his deceived him!Back then,that accident was meant to kill both Sebastian and Marcelo.But Marcelo had survived.Gary had wanted to make another attempt on his life but finding out that he was disabled made him feel that there was no need.Now,looking back,he felt enraged.Marcelo had deceived him!Marcelo had made him think that he was a disabled loser while he secretly made moves.Gary felt like tearing down the whole house.He needed to go see his father.They needed to talk about how to eliminate Marcelo once and for all!They couldn’t let Marcelo get more powerful than this.As Gary went up to Paul’s study, he was about to knock when he heard Paul’s voice.“I am not getting any younger.And it pains me to r

My love?Those words reeled through her head and she slowly pulled away from him and stared into his eyes.It wasn’t the first time he was calling her that but it made her heart ache as she wondered if he knew what that meant.“Do you even know what that means?”She asked,her voice hoarse from crying so much.Marcelo was confused.“What are you talking about?”“You shouldn’t call me your love.People don’t just randomly call people that.”She turned away from him as tears threatened again.“Renee,I’m not randomly calling you that.I called you that because…”“Why did you help her?”He blinked,surprised by her question again.“Help who?”“Stop playing dumb already.”She yelled as she stood up to her feet.“Do you know how hard she tried to ruin me?!She was aiming at ruining my career and I did my best,getting the jewelries and…and running around making sure everything went smoothly,do you have any idea how tired I was when I played the piano.Even if I was looking composed,doing so much that

“No, it wasn't me!"Catherine blurted out in a knee-jerk reaction. But as she realized the undeniable truth in the surveillance footage, she quickly shifted her story. "I just lost my balance. It was an accident. I didn't mean to hit the table!"Renee was unaware of Catherine’s presence near the champagne tower since she was out of her line of sight. Now, she was convinced that Catherine had intended the incident.Marcelo, however, was uninterested in Catherine’s excuses.“I'm giving you a chance to apologize," he said sternly. He pointed to another champagne tower and instructed Catherine, "Go stand there and pull the table yourself."His demand wasn't unreasonable. He wanted Catherine to understand the potential harm she had nearly caused Renee.“No, I can't!"Catherine refused, shaking her head in terror and shielding her face.She feared the glass could cut her, potentially scarring her face. She then tried to shift the blame to Renee. "You weren't even hurt. You can't do this to me

"A marriage alliance..." Vivian muttered, her voice trailing off.The news had caught her completely off guard.Catherine’s satisfied grin grew wider as she saw the shock etched on Vivian’s face.“Miss Lambert, do you still see yourself as the other woman? Are you ready to be outplayed by someone so cunning?"“Why are you telling me this?" Vivian quickly regained her composure. "You're with Andrew. We both understand his connection to Marcelo. If I marry into the King family, the Lamberts will support Marcelo. That can't be good for you."It didn't make sense for Catherine to be helping her.Catherine just shrugged. "I can't stand watching that Renee enjoy a good life. Isn't that reason enough?"************The birthday ceremony then began. Paul had two sons and a daughter. Today, his daughter was notably absent. She was the family's outcast, having married young and moved abroad with her husband. She had almost cut all ties with the Kings.Renee vaguely recalled that she had been cl

Renee watched Vivian with a knowing smile.Vivian, unable to utter the words, bit her silver teeth and continued to gaze at Marcelo, silently begging for his help.Considering her relationship with his brother, Marcelo reassured, "It's okay not to call her that."If his brother were still alive and married to Vivian, they would have referred to Vivian as "sister-in-law."Renee’s smile stiffened slightly, but it didn't matter to her. She didn't need Vivian’s acknowledgment as "sister-in-law," and the thought of it even disgusted her.She didn’t want Marcelo and Vivian to be seen as siblings.She wanted Vivian to have nothing to do with her husband.Was that too much to ask?Meanwhile,Jessica showed a keen interest in the piece Renee had composed and started discussing it with her.Finding the conversation uninteresting, Marcelo decided to step out to the balcony for a smoke. Seizing the opportunity, Vivian followed him.“Marcelo, are you angry with me for siding with your father today?"

Feeling a pit in her stomach,Renee was about to relinquish her hold when Marcelo spoke.“No, thank you." He refused Vivian directly.Marcelo waved in the direction of Damian, who was standing nearby. "Damian will keep you company.”Vivian and Damian were already acquainted.“Huh? Oh, sure. I'll take it from here,"Damian replied.He was startled at first, and then bewildered by the sudden task that was thrown in his face. But he didn't want Marcelo to leave Renee alone and go with another woman, so he agreed without a second thought.The smile froze on Vivian’s face, and her eyes darkened. She swallowed and quickly composed herself. "Well," she said, forcing another smile at Damian. "I'm afraid I will have to trouble you in the meantime."Damian paid no mind to her strained expression and carried on as he would with an old friend.“It's no trouble at all. We were just about to play dice, do you care to join us?Renee is quite good at it. Why don't you give it a try?"Damian offered.Wyat
