The Hidden Heiress's Remarriage 17: My Lover
TIME FLEW BY, and Celene had settled comfortably back into her lavish lifestyle. She was also doing surprisingly well emotionally, as thoughts of Jarred no longer plagued her mind. After all, her focus was solely on the mission her father had given her. Tomorrow, she would begin her new job at Salvatore Group and was mentally preparing for the tasks that lay ahead.“This is our first date, but you don’t seem very happy about it. What’s wrong?” Celene turned to Noah, who was behind the wheel as they made their way to the mall. It was a subsidiary of Salvatore, and since she needed new clothes, she suggested that they make their first date a shopping trip.“Well, I don’t see why I would need to be enthusiastic when all we’re going to do was go shopping.” She shrugged, her eyes fixed on him. She was still amazed every time she saw him in casual attire instead of his usual formal suit and tie—she didn’t know why but, he looked even more attractive this way.She couldn’t deny that Noah exu

“LOVER?” Jarred’s brows furrowed after the word finally registered inside his brain. He looked from Noah to Celene, struggling to believe that she had already found someone else so soon after their break-up. “Did you cheat on me?”“Oh God! Can you not lump me together with you?” Celene scoffed, “I never cheated. We had already ended our relationship when I started seeing someone else, unlike you who had an affair while we were still married.”“Impossible. Maybe that was the reason why you suddenly change—”“Stop bullshitting me, Jarred. Are you under the impression that I won’t be able to move on just because I was head over heels to you before?” She interrupted, refusing to hear baseless accusations from him, “I hate to burst your bubble, but I’ve already come to my senses. Especially after meeting Noah, who was way better and much more worthy than you.”Jarred’s face twisted in pain as her words hit him like a physical blow. He curled his fingers into a tight fist, ready to retaliat

“HONESTLY, how on earth did you stay married to that man for almost three years?” Noah asked as he twirled his fork on the plate of Alfredo pasta they had ordered. Meanwhile, Celene leaned back in her chair and took a sip of water, lost in memories of her failed marriage.“He wasn’t that bad when we started dating,” she answered, “He used to be kind and gentle, but as time went on, I started to notice his red flags. It was bearable so, I turned a blind eye to it.”“I know that was stupid of me, and I really regretted marrying him. Had I known he would return to his ex, the one who had publicly dumped him before, I never would have approached him that day or offered him my handkerchief.” Celene let out a humorless laugh and shook her head.The memory was still fresh in her mind—how Agnes had publicly broken up with Jarred at the restaurant, causing a scene that everyone could hear. Celene, their server at that time stood frozen as she watched Agnes storm out while Jarred fought back te

THE NEXT MORNING, Celene was already getting ready for her first day of work at their own company. However, just like she and her parents had agreed to, she would work as a regular employee rather than a superior. Therefore, she opted for a simple outfit: black loose trousers and a white half-sleeve top. As for her hair, she just let it down and didn’t put on much makeup and jewelry.After finishing her preparations, she grabbed her bag and made her way downstairs, where her mother was sitting on the couch.“Mom, I’m leaving,” she said, and Isabelle stood up to fix her hair a bit.“Take care, okay? I know your task wasn’t easy, but your father and I believed in your ability to accomplish it.” her mother said, smiling proudly at her, “But if the situation becomes overwhelming, do not hesitate to inform us immediately, and we’ll do something about it.”“Don’t worry, Mom. After everything that I’ve been through, I don’t think there’s anything I can’t handle now,” Celene’s reassuring word

“UHMMM...” A woman with glasses approached Celene hesitantly, “Are you alright? I’ll show you to your workstation. You’ll be taking over for Alice, who recently left the company.”“I see, I’m okay… Thank you,” Celene’s lips curved into a grateful smile as she realized there was at least one kind person in this office. The woman led her to an empty cubicle, and she sat down on the chair, feeling uncertain about what tasks she was supposed to do today since no one had briefed her yet. “Sorry, may I know what’s your name?”“I’m Criselda, how about you?”“I’m Celene,” She flashed another smile and they both reached out to shake hands since their desk was right next to each other, “Do you know what work I should—”Just as she was about to finish her sentence, a blonde woman placed some papers on her desk, causing both Celene and Criselda to turn their attention towards her.“Take these and organize them by category. Once you’re finished, send the files over to me for review.” She demanded

FOR A MOMENT, there was a silence that filled the car... Celene couldn’t help but wonder why he would ask such a question with such intensity. Did it truly matter to him? She quickly brushed aside the thought and focused on the glimmer of nervousness in his eyes. It seemed as though he was beginning to regret his betrayal. Maybe he hadn’t anticipated that she would move on so quickly, and his ego was bruised as a result.“Haven’t I introduced you to each other yesterday?” she finally spoke, breaking the silence and yanking her hand back because he was still holding it. “I never cheated on you, so don’t ever think we’re the same, that was insulting.”“Before we started dating, you know I had unrequited love, right? Well, that person was him. After we broke up, we reconnected, and he was the one who consoled me during my lowest moments. He stayed by my side constantly because your focus was always on Agnes.”Despite not needing to, Celene couldn’t help but explain herself, her stomach t

“UGHH!” Celene let out a groan as she woke up, feeling drowsy and disoriented. She tried to open her eyes, but the bright sun shining through the curtain made it nearly impossible. Suddenly, she felt a strong arm encircling her waist, causing her eyes snapped open in surprise.Her heart began beating faster, and slowly, she turned her head, only to see Noah lying beside her, naked. In an instant, everything from the previous day came rushing back into her mind, causing her cheeks to turned crimson.flashback/“Coffee or tea?” Noah offered as Celene settled on the couch. However, she didn’t respond immediately because her focus was on her phone. She held onto it tightly, her gaze glued to the screen after receiving a message from Jarred apologizing to her.She let out a frustrated sigh and flinched when Noah gently grabbed her chin from behind and pulled her face up to look at him.“I asked you if you wanted coffee or tea,” he arched an eyebrow and peeked through the screen of her phon

“MHHM~” Celene couldn’t contain her pleasure and let out a moan as Noah’s lips caressed every part of her neck, leaving a trail of kisses down to her collar bone until her body gave into his desire. “That tickles.”“This is getting dangerous, are you not going to stop me?” Noah asked, stopping for a moment to look into her eyes. His voice was filled with desire, and there was something more in his eyes–fear. Fear that he might lose control if she doesn’t push him away soon and stop his actions.“Come on, Lin. Stop me.” He begged almost desperately, but Celene couldn’t bring herself to deny him. Not when his kiss and touch provided a strange kind of comfort that made her thoughts fade away completely from her mind.She was aware that she might regret her actions later, but in that moment, she didn’t care at all. So, she acted without hesitation and grabbed his shoulders, forcefully pushing him back onto the couch. With confidence, she sat up and positioned herself on his lap, causing h

“Caius, come here.” Celene said, her voice a little wary as she looked at Jarred. His appearance might have changed since he grew a beard but she knew very well, it was her ex-husband.Celene’s heart was racing as she watched Jarred approaching her with Caius by his side. She couldn’t believe that after all these years, fate had brought them together again.“Give me my son, Jarred.” She frowned, fearing that he might do something to her son. However, to her surprise, Jarred urged Caius to come closer to his mother.“Mama!” He hugged her and Celene felt a sense of relief now that her son was in her arms.“Why did you leave the school?” she asked, brushing his hair away from his forehead. He didn’t seem to be hurt and that alone was enough to calm her racing heart.“I’m sorry, Mama. I saw a cotton candy outside and I wanted some. So, I followed it and…” Caius trailed off as he stared down at the ground, knowing what he did was wrong.“He almost got hit by a motorcycle..” Jarred’s interr
The Hidden Heiress's Remarriage 74: Memories of Past
5 YEARS LATER...“Mhhhn, what are you doing?” Celene murmured, her eyes still shut as she felt Noah's lips making a trail of kisses down her shoulder. Gradually, she opened her eyes and turned towards him to see his face sporting a playful expression in the early morning light, “Why are you acting like this?”“I want to have a second baby,” he said as he kissed her neck, but then, their door suddenly burst open, causing him to quickly sit up with an innocent smile as their son Caius entered the room, as he did every morning.“Good morning, Mama and Papa!”With a cheerful grin on his face, he skipped over to the bed clutching his beloved dinosaur stuffed animal. He then happily crawled in between his parents and snuggled up close, giggling with joy.“Good morning, silly boy. We told you to knock before opening the door.” Celene playfully wiggled her nose, causing their four-year-old son to burst into a fit of giggles. Meanwhile, Noah’s face fell into a pout as he once again failed to b
The Hidden Heiress's Remarriage 73: Intoxicating Combination
“MOM, DAD.” Celene's eyes brightened when her parents visited her in the hospital, “Is it fine for you to be here? You should be resting.”“I already told him that, but he refused to listen to me.” Isabelle shook her head, determined to stay strong. But as she looked into her daughter’s eyes, tears began welling up her eyes. Seeing her in person after watching the news last night gave her a sense of relief that she was still alive.“I’m sorry for worrying you.” Celene’s lips tightened as she regretted putting her parents through unnecessary worry. She could only imagine how they must have felt when they saw the news.According to Noah, there was a frenzy of media attention outside the hospital last night. Thankfully, her cousin Ash was able to handle the situation and released a brief statement confirming that Salvatore’s CEO and Noah De Laruente’s wife were safe and in recovery.“What are you saying? Don’t apologize.” With a sniffle, Isabelle reached out and carefully embraced her da
The Hidden Heiress's Remarriage 72: Gunshot
SHOUTS AND GUNSHOTS echoed through the abandoned building, causing confusion and panic among Agnes and her ex-husband’s men. Celene’s heart started pounding harder, wondering if this was finally the police coming to save her.However, the noises were quickly followed by a loud explosion that shook the entire building. Dust and debris rained down on them as Celene felt herself being pulled away by one of the men.“Time to leave,” Agnes’ ex-husband shouted over the chaos, causing the gunmen to cut the rope on Celene’s feet and drag her along with him as they made their way out of the room.“No!” She yelled, her adrenaline making her struggle despite the weakness in her body. But her cries were drowned out by the chaos around her.As they emerged from the building, Celene saw that it was surrounded by a group of heavily armed police officers, there were also people from the media. She couldn’t believe her luck—she had finally been rescued.But her relief was short-lived as Agnes’ ex-husb
The Hidden Heiress's Remarriage 71: Held Captive
THE NOISE and pounding headache woke Celene up; she winced, trying to open her eyes, only to find that she was held captive; she was sitting on a wooden chair, her feet and wrists were tightly bound with ropes, digging into her skin and making it difficult for her to move.As her vision slowly cleared, she took in her surroundings and realized she was inside a large, abandoned construction building. There were a few gunmen around, some of them were playing cards, and some were talking while smoking.None of them had realized that she was already awake, and she couldn’t help but look at her belly, scared that she might miscarry if these men were to harm her. But what worried her the most was Noah; he was bleeding heavily after their car was hit earlier. Not only that but Martin was shot too before she lost consciousness earlier.The thought that something might happen to her added to her concern. However, her mind was immediately snapped back to the present when one of the gunmen appro
The Hidden Heiress's Remarriage 70: Pregnancy and Danger
“W-WHAT?” Celene stumbled over her words, her eyes widening in shock as she struggled to comprehend what her mother had just said. She then gazed down at her belly, the idea of a tiny human growing inside her filling her with overwhelming joy and anticipation.“Did the scent of food make you feel sick? It was just like that for me when I was pregnant with you. Even though my favorite dish was right in front of me, I couldn’t stomach the smell.” Isabelle explained, “But just to make sure, you and Noah should visit the hospital.”“Hospital? Why?” Noah asked when he suddenly appeared as the two women exited the bathroom. His face was filled with concern as he looked at Celene, who seemed lost in thought. “Are you not feeling well? Last night you felt dizzy and now...”Noah’s sentence was cut short as he noticed the signs his wife was displaying and remembered his mother-in-law’s question about Celene’s possible pregnancy.As everything clicked into place, his heart began to race with rea
The Hidden Heiress's Remarriage 69: Morning Sickness
“WHAT TO DO? Our enemy’s bigger than we thought.” Celene couldn’t help but let out a sigh, finding it hard to believe that Agnes’ ex-husband was involved with the syndicate. The thought alone brought on more stress for her.“The police can handle it; I’m sure they’ll be able to find that woman regardless of who’s behind her,” Noah tried to reassure her, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that even the police wouldn’t be able to find her. It had been weeks, and yet, there was still no trace of her.“Should we just trick her to show up? I have a feeling she’s been watching my every moveShe’s just waiting to strike since I always have Martin on my side.” Celene suggested, “What if I make myself a bait so we can—”“No,” Noah frowned as he closed the book he was reading and placed it on the nightstand, his eyes focused on Celene who was leaning against the headboard of their bed with a look of concern on her face. “Let the police handle her, let’s just give them more time.”“It’s been wee
The Hidden Heiress's Remarriage 68: Child's Play
“IT’S REALLY HER,” Celene’s eyes were fixed on the screen of Noah’s laptop, her attention fully captured. Despite Agnes wearing the cafe’s uniform and a cap, her face was still easily identifiable.The security camera footage captured her adding a few drops of liquid from a small vial into the coffee while the barista was distracted, talking to the manager. As soon as she finished, the barista returned his attention to his task and placed the lid on the cup, completely unaware that Agnes had tampered with it.“That fucking bitch.” Celene clenched her jaw in frustration. She couldn’t believe how effortlessly Agnes could do such wicked deeds as if it was child’s play. She let out a deep sigh and took her phone, trying to call someone. “I’m just going to make the call.”Noah gave a small nod and followed her with his eyes as she made her way to the balcony. His hands then clenched into fists when he kept his focus on the CCTV footage again. It was baffling how that woman knew about his r
The Hidden Heiress's Remarriage 67: Threatend
CELENE put the finishing touches on the table, making sure everything was perfect for their date at home. Snacks, drinks, and a movie were all carefully arranged. All that was left was for Noah to come down after showering.After ensuring that everything was in order, she settled onto the couch. But before she could get comfortable, the doorbell rang, causing Celene to stand and make her way to the door. She then looked at the intercom screen and noticed it was Noah’s secretary requesting entry. With a quick hum, she opened the door to let him in.“Good afternoon, Ma’am Celene.” He greeted her, and she responded warmly before inviting him into the house.“Are you here to bring Noah’s phone?” she asked.“Yes, Ma’am... Also to give him the copy of the CCTV footage at the cafe yesterday.” Celene’s finger twitched a little, and the frustration she had felt yesterday came back to her.“I see, have a seat first. Would you like a drink? Perhaps some snacks?” she asked, but the secretary poli
