“NOAH’S HERE,” Isabelle told Celene as she entered her room. Celene then looked at her mother and nodded.

“Please tell him I’ll be there in a minute.” she said, causing her mother to smile from ear to ear. “W-what? Why are you smiling like that?”

“Are you two dating?” Isabelle asked, her voice had a hint of curiosity.

“Of course not, Mom. I just turned 18.” she couldn’t help but blush. Just the thought of her and Noah dating sounded like a dream come true. She had been crushing on him for years, but she had already accepted that he won’t ever see her as a woman. “He might be waiting for me; please tell him I’ll be there in a minute.”

“All right.” her mother giggled her which made her shook her head. After her mother had left, she put the finishing touches on her make-up before grabbing her purse and making her way downstairs.

She had decided to wear a simple yet elegant white dress that hugged her figure in all the right places, showcasing her curves. Even her make up seemed to comple

    A LOUD, persistent ringing jolted Celene from her sleep. She let out a groan and blindly reached for her phone on the nightstand, squinting at Noah’s name on the screen. With a frown, she answered the call, rubbing her tired eyes and trying to sound composed.“Hello? Why are you calling so early in the morning?”“I’m going to pick you up, and what do you mean by early? Your shift starts at 9:00 and it’s already 8:00.”As soon as he said that, Celene abruptly sat up, her eyes widening as the realization hit her that she overslept. In a panic, she leaped out of bed and put the phone on speaker while frantically searching through her closet for something to wear.“Are you on your way? I told you, you don’t need to—”“I’m on my way, so get ready already,” he replied and hung up the phone, causing Celene tolet out a sigh and make her way to the bathroom. She wasn’t typically someone who was always late, but lately, she noticed that she had been getting a good night’s sleep. It was a stark

    “LENE...”“Celene!” The sound of Criselda’s voice startled Celene. She snapped out of her daze and looked at her friend who was sitting in front of her. They were sitting with Joseph in the cafeteria, eating lunch, but her thoughts were still consumed by Noah’s unexpected confession. “What’s wrong? You’ve been zoning out all morning. Do you feel sick?”“Ah no, I’m just thinking of something.” She forced a smile and continued eating. “What were you saying earlier?”“I asked if you are familiar with De Laruente?” Criselda’s question nearly caused Celene to choke on her food. She quickly covered her mouth and coughed, while Joseph, sitting next to her, handed her a glass of water. Once she composed herself, she thanked him and took a sip before regaining looking at Criselda.“Yes, I do, but why?”“Well, I heard that the chairman's daughter is going to marry their CEO.”The moment the words reached Celene’s ears, her face lost all color, and her heart started beating faster.‘How did that

    “LEAVE, don’t make a scene here.” Celene clenched her jaw, feeling embarrassed to be the focus of everyone’s attention. If her father found out about this messed up situation, he would likely retaliate against Jarred and Agnes, which was something she didn’t want to happen.“What’s going on?” Celene’s attention was diverted by a voice she recognized, causing her to turn and see her cousin and the general manager of the company, Ash, approaching them. In the distance behind him, she could see Noah hurrying away as if trying to avoid being noticed.She knew from his expression just now that he wanted to help her, but it was too risky to do it inside the company as they were both trying to keep their true identities hidden from public knowledge.“I’m sorry, sir. My ex-husband’s mistress suddenly attacked me and accused me of seducing my ex-husband,” Her voice rang out, loud and clear, causing the surrounding on-lookers to cover their mouths in shock and murmur amongst themselves.

    “WHAT IN THE WORLD,” Celene let out a quiet curse as she caught sight of Jarred walking into the restaurant where she and Noah were supposed have their date. It had been three days since the incident, but her work experience since then hadn’t been enjoyable, to say the least.Thanks to Ash’s assistance, she believed she had resolved the situation. However, not all of her coworkers were convinced that she hadn’t tempted someone’s future husband, particularly in her own department where Amelia started labeling her as a slut.After several days of emotional exhaustion, she finally had a day off and hoped to escape the toxic environment. But of course, the universe had other plans as she would now have to face the person she despised most. She let out a deep breath and looked away, hoping he wouldn’t notice her presence. But, as luck would have it, he spotted her immediately.“Celene,” he called when he approached the table where she was seated near the glass wallShe specifically chose t

    IN AN INSTANT, their lips met, and they were lost in the moment. Noah’s hand gently caressed Celene’s cheek as he deepened the kiss. But before things could escalate, the sound of a doorbell shattered their intimate bubble. Both of them straightened up immediately, clearing their throats and trying to compose themselves.“I-I think the room service’s already here,” she stammered, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment as she averted her gaze. Meanwhile, Noah let out a sigh, obviously frustrated that they got interrupted before striding towards the door and pulling it open.Celene watched him, somehow, she was starting to feel uneasy about being alone with Noah in a private setting. They still hadn’t talked about his confession from days ago, and she wanted to establish boundaries to protect herself from getting hurt again, but the recent kiss made her realize that she was starting to feel drawn back toward Noah just like she had in the past.Being around him was both exhilarating and

    “OOF!” Celene closed her eyes when Noah suddenly laid her down on the bed and positioned himself over her. He took advantage of the fact that she hadn’t immediately reacted to his movements by kissing her deeply, allowing her lips to linger against his, letting her taste herself on his tongue.He continued to passionately explore her mouth as she moaned softly in response, his hand gently caressing her body before slowly removing the towel that had been concealing her figure.“You smell good,” Noah muttered as his kisses trailed along her neck until he reached her breast, which he fondled lightly, earning a soft groan from Celene beneath him.“Nghh~” She tugged at his hair, relishing the sensation of his warm tongue dancing around her erect nipple while he massaged her other breast with his hands. The sound of Celene’s moans filled the quiet room, making Noah’s desire to grow even further with each passing moment.He was only engaging in foreplay to prepare her, but he could tell she

    “CONGRATULATIONS,” Celene smiled as her parents greeted her after she received some good news that her divorce had been finalized. Two weeks had passed since her last encounter with Jarred, and now, her marriage to that asshole was finally dissolved. She couldn’t be any happier knowing she was officially free from him.She had anticipated it would take a few more months, so the sudden news caught her completely off guard.“We should celebrate this!” Isabelle suggested excitedly, relieved that her daughter was no longer married to Jarred, who was now struggling with financial losses because his mother had become addicted to gambling. Celene didn’t know it yet, but she was secretly getting revenge on Martha by orchestrating her losses in casino games. Of course, she wasn't the one playing; instead, it was her secretary who was quite skilled at it.“We are having dinner with Noah and his parents tonight. We can deliver the news to them and celebrate together,” Herman chimed in, and the m

    “RELAX,” Celene retrieved her phone from Noah after he ended the call.“You should change your number,” he said, feeling his anger building up again at the thought of that bastard saying he loved Celene.“I’m going to, I just kept forgetting it.” she said before blocking the new number Jarred used to call her. “Why did you even do that?”“Am I not allowed to?” Noah asked, somehow, sensing Celene wasn’t pleased with how he acted. Despite knowing that what he did wasn’t entirely appropriate, he was still confused as to why she would be upset with him, considering the person involved was her ex-husband.‘Does she want to keep talking to him?’ he thought.“It’s not a question of whether it’s allowed or not. Taking someone’s phone while they’re in the middle of a conversation is extremely disrespectful. Would you be okay with it if I did the same thing to you?” Celene asked, unsure why she was making such a fuss when she didn’t actually care about his actions.“Yes, as long as it isn’t an

    “WHAT?” Noah furrowed his brow, attempting to recall the events of earlier.Once he had taken care of everything at work, he ordered himself a cup of coffee from his favorite cafe. When it arrived, he had planned to call Celene, but after taking a sip of his coffee, something felt off and that was the last thing he could remember.“Your secretary informed me of the possibility that your coffee may have been tampered with. He is currently looking into the matter.” Celene explained between sniffles. Noah then gently pressed his lips together and brushed her cheeks with his fingertips, understanding exactly what she was going through at the moment.“I’m sorry for worrying you—”“Why are you apologizing? It wasn’t your fault.” she said as she touched his hand, “How are you feeling? Shall I call the doctor?”“No, I’m feeling fine.” Noah shook his head, “So, stop crying now. I don’t like that I’m making you cry.”“How can I not cry when I almost lost you? The doctor assured us that the pois

    “GOOD MORNING,” Celene opened her eyes to see Noah’s smile. It was infectious, and she couldn’t help but smile back at him as he looked at her with his head propped up on his hand, “How are you feeling?”“I’m feeling great, I feel refreshed,” she responded, closing one eye as he leaned in to plant a gentle kiss on her forehead.“That’s a relief. I was afraid that you’d be sore from last night,” he chuckled, remembering how they had made love again and again after taking a quick break. Celene’s cheeks instantly turned red as she too, remembered how wild their night was.Not only did they continue to engage in intimate activities, but they also did it without protection throughout the night.“I cooked us breakfast, let’s go downstairs before it gets cold.” Noah chuckled because he could tell that his wife was reminiscing their passionate encounter last night.Celene nodded and got up out of bed, stretching her limbs while yawning. She then made her way to the bathroom to freshen up befo

    THE SOUND of the bed creaking and their heavy breathing filled the room as Noah and Celene lay intertwined together, enjoying every inch of each other’s bodies. Tender kisses covered their bare skin, leaving their lips red from kissing. Their fingers entangled in each other’s hair making them forget everything else in the world, and only they mattered to each other.“I love you so much,” Noah muttered between kisses as his lips met Celene’s. They were both completely intoxicated with passion and bliss, unable to keep themselves from moaning at each other’s touch. His tongue danced against hers before sliding into her mouth, causing her to shudder underneath his touch.“Nghh~ I love you, too,” Celene breathed out, her hips moving against his own. She wanted him desperately, she craved him constantly for the past days they were apart, and now that they were finally together, she couldn’t get enough of him.A small smile curved Noah’s lips as he lowered his mouth to her chest, gently kis

    “MOM,” Celene called out when she entered the private room where her father was currently sleeping. “How’s Dad?”“He’s recovering well. According to the doctor, he should be able to go home in about a week if everything continues to improve as expected.” Isabelle replied and Celene felt a sense of relief.At least there was some good news amidst the unpleasantness that had filled her day so far.“I see, that’s good to know.” She smiled, “By the way Mom, I’ll be going back to the penthouse.”“Oh, Is Noah returning tonight?”“Yes, Mom. I just drop by here so I can tell you personally.” Celene smiled before kissing her mother on the cheek, “Tomorrow, I’ll visit again and take care of Dad so, you can go home and rest.”“All right,” Isabelle nodded in understanding, and Celene moved over to the bed to give her father a gentle kiss on the forehead. With a wish for his speedy recovery, she left the hospital, hoping to see him back to full health soon.“Let’s swing by my parents’ place first

    THE SOUND of her phone ringing jolted Celene awake from her peaceful sleep. With a groan, she fumbled for her phone with one eye still closed. When she saw that it was Martin calling, she quickly answered and brought the phone to her ear.“Hello?” she greeted, her voice groggy as she rolled onto her back.“Good morning, Ma’am. I’m already on my way to your parents’ house. I’ll be there in 30 minutes.” The moment those words reached Celene's ears, she shot up and glanced at the clock on the bedside table to check the time.It was already 9:00 AM.“All right, call me again when you’re already here.” She jumped out of bed and hurried into the bathroom to freshen up before ending the call abruptly. She realized she had overslept and had to be somewhere by 10:00 am, but she had just woken up. She cursed under her breath and rushed to get ready before Martin came to pick her up.She quickly took care of her appearance, brushing her hair and changing into a new outfit. She even added some ma

    “CELENE!” Celene felt a surge of anxiety as she heard the desperation in Isabelle’s voice when she saw her rushing out of her father’s room with urgency.“W-what’s wrong? Did something happen to Dad?” she asked, her heart beating faster.“N-no, but he’s woken up.” Isabelle’s eyes welled up with tears, and Celene’s previously tense expression softened into one of relief.Together, they entered the room where Herman had finally awoken after a long period of sleep after his operation.“Dad,” She approached the bed, her eyes getting teary at the sight of him awake, “How are you feeling?”“Hmm, I’m feeling fine.” Herman’s lips curled into a smile as he extended his hand to gently brush his daughter’s cheek. He then turned to his wife, who was now overcome with emotion and tears. He tenderly touched Isabelle’s face just as he had done to Celene and smiled, “Dear, stop crying. I’m okay, I’m alive.”“I-I know, I’m just glad nothing bad happens to you.” she sobbed and Celene pursed her lips, t

    THE AROMA of freshly brewed coffee greeted Noah as he entered the kitchen, where Celene was already busy making breakfast for them. He couldn’t resist wrapping his arms around her waist and planting a gentle kiss on her neck as he watched her cook.“Did you wake up early for this?” he asked and Celene nodded.“Yeah, I wanted to cook for you and eat breakfast together before you leave,” she answered before turning off the stove and facing him. She then wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him down a bit so she could kiss him. “Let’s eat,”Noah gave a small nod and took a seat at the dining table. From there, he observed Celene as she finished arranging everything on the table. Once she was done, she joined him and started to eat together.“Are you going to work today?” he asked as he took a bite from his toast.“Yeah, I’m feeling fine now since I had plenty of sleep last night,” she replied, “After work,I’ll head directly to my parent’s house to drop off my bag before making a vi

    “NO,” Celene’s response was firm and unwavering. She could see the desperation in Martha’s eyes, but she couldn’t bring herself to give in. After everything that had happened between her and Jarred, she didn’t owe them anything.“If that was your sole purpose for coming here, then you can go now. I have no intention of seeing your son ever again.” She added as she straightened her posture and went back to her swivel chair, “I have a lot on my plate already, so if you dare to show up here again, I’ll make sure that you and your son will never be able to escape the mess you’ve gotten yourselves into.”Martha winced at the harshness in her voice, but she remained resolute. She had to keep fighting for her son, no matter how much his ex-wife still despised them. It was a difficult battle, but she couldn’t give up.Watching Jarred struggle lately was devastating for Martha as a mother. She blamed herself for the crumbling of their family; not only she hadn’t been a bad mother-in-law to Cel

    TIME FLEW BY and the false rumors about Celene and Noah’s alleged affair before their marriage were finally dispelled. Martha’s statement had a significant influence in restoring the couple’s reputation, and as a result, they were no longer subjected to any further falsehoods or gossip being spread about them.“Are you sure about going public?” Celene placed the cup of coffee on the center table and took a seat next to Noah, who was engrossed in reading some documents. However, as soon as he felt her by his side, he set aside his paperwork and focused his attention on his wife.“Yeah, I don’t plan on hiding my face from the media forever anyway,” he said as he wrapped his arms around her shoulder, “But, are you sure you won’t go to Paris with me?”“I’m sorry, as much as I wanted to be with you on your first public appearance, I have many other tasks that require my attention,” Celene said apologetically, leaning her head onto Noah’s chest.If only she weren’t busy, she would definitel
