The Hidden Heiress's Remarriage 42: Coming too Strong
CELEN STIRRED in her sleep, her eyelids slowly blinking open as the sunlight poured through the curtains. When she became aware of her surroundings, she sat up and saw Noah entering the room.He was carrying a tray of breakfast as if he knew exactly when she would wake up. She couldn’t help but smiled in appreciation and watched him place the tray on the bedside table.“How are you feeling?” He sat down on the bed and gently placed his hand on her forehead, checking to see if her temperature had risen from the previous night’s incident. Fortunately, it wasn’t so, he let out a sigh of relief.“I’m fine,” Celene replied, her eyes darting to the pajamas adorning her body. Since she had chosen not to go home the previous night, she asked Noah to bring her back to his penthouse instead. Of course, he readily agreed and upon arrival, he ran a bath for her, filling it with warm water.After she finished bathing, he presented her with fresh pajamas and underwear that his secretary had purchas

“CELENE.” Ash snapped his fingers in front of her face, bringing out of her thoughts and back to the present moment. “You alright?”“Sorry, my head’s elsewhere.” she sighed before taking her cup of coffee, only to find it was nearly empty.“What is it that bothering you?” he asked as they relaxed at the cafe after a long day at work. It was their first time catching up since they reunited but she couldn’t help but be distracted by what she had learned earlier. She just sighed and rested her back against the chair, setting down her now empty cup.“Earlier, I caught a glimpse of Ms. Katy and Mr. Smith heading into the vacant conference room, the one that was hardly ever utilized by the marketing department,” she explained before turning to Ash, who was clearly intrigued by what had disrupted his usually composed cousin.“And?” he prompted cautiously.“I heard them having sex,” Celene answered without hesitation, causing Ash to almost choke on the coffee he had just sipped. Luckily, he w

“UGH! That hit the spot!” Celene groaned when the alcohol burned her throat.After days of dealing with a toxic work environment, she was happy to finally have a drink to unwind. After all, the rumors of her and Ash dating caused quite a stir in the office.Fortunately, Ash didn’t seem to mind; in fact, they both found it amusing. He even reassured her that it would die down once she was officially introduced as the heiress of Salvatore by their chairman in a few weeks.“Slow down,” Noah reminded her as he watched her take a sip of her drink again. It didn’t even occur to him that she would suddenly invite him to a club.He wasn’t a fan of noise and blinding lights, but because Ash filled him in on what was happening at the company, he indulged Celene’s requests without questioning why she suddenly asked him to accompany her to the nightclub.“Why aren’t you drinking?” she asked when she noticed that he was just watching her with his jaw resting on his palm.“I didn’t bring my driver,

CELENE AND NOAH sat inside his car, parked at a secluded spot with a breathtaking view of the night city. The stars hung overhead, twinkling in the darkness, and the moonlight illuminated the land. It was a scene straight out of a romance novel, but Celene’s attention was solely on Noah and the kisses he showered upon her.“Wait, is it fine doing it here?” she asked, her voice breathless as Noah’s lips found their way to her neck.“It’s fine, no one comes here,” he reassured her, his hands roaming freely over her body.And with that reassurance, Celene allowed herself to lose herself in the moment, forgetting about everything else except for the passion and desire that consumed her and Noah.“Come here, straddle me.”Celene gasped at his demand, her mind racing with excitement and nervousness. After all, this is her first time doing it inside a car. She had never been with anyone like Noah before—bold, confident, and unafraid to take control. But as she gazed into his determined eyes,

“HOW WAS IT?” Celene asked after reading Ash’s message about how he had already sent the picture she had taken to the wife of Mr. Smith. Luckily, she was able to catch Ms. Katy and Mr. Smith hanging out together where the two were holding hands.She didn’t let the opportunity slip off her finger, so she quickly took a picture of them and sent it to Ash. Now she wondered what was going to happen now.“I haven’t received a response from her yet, but don’t worry. I’m certain that Mrs. Smith will come to the realization of her husband’s infidelity just by looking at the photo you sent me.” Ash replied, “But instead of thinking about that, you should focus on yourself. I heard one of your co-workers stole your idea for the proposal?”The thought of it made Celene let out an exasperated sigh. One of the main sources of her work-related stress was Amelia, who had managed to steal her idea and present it at the meeting earlier this morning. When it was finally Celene’s turn to share her propo

AFTER SEVERAL DAYS...The chairman’s birthday party was in full swing, attended by higher-ups from within the company and representatives from other companies and organizations. The hotel where the event was being held was adorned with tasteful lights and decorations, setting a warm and welcoming ambiance.“Wow, I can’t believe we’re invited to this party.” Martha’s gaze swept across the room, marveling at the grandeur of the event. She had been to many parties before, but this one was undeniably unique and extravagant. “Remember when Celene said we’ll face our karma? Well, look at us now. We even got invited to the chairman’s birthday party.”“Does that mean he knows you?” Agnes asked, her arms wrapped around Jarred’s arm as they walked towards the room. Everyone was wearing expensive gowns and suits, sipping champagne and exchanging pleasantries as they mingled in the grand ballroom. It was like, they were in another world.“Maybe, I mean, why would he invite us if he doesn’t?” Jarr

“GOOD EVENING, ladies and gentlemen.” the party host announced once everyone arrived. “As we begin the event, I would like to ask everyone to rise and give a warm greeting to the guest of honor for this special evening!”The room was filled with applause as everyone rose to their feet, their attention now focused on the door where the chairman and his wife were entering. Amidst the clapping, Celene’s eyes caught Martha’s pale face upon seeing Isabelle.Celene couldn’t stifle a giggle and shifted her gaze to her father, who was making his way towards the stage. As he reached it, the applause died down and he instructed everyone to take their seats again. Once seated, he cleared his throat and began speaking.“Thank you everyone for attending my 60th birthday,” the chairman began, his voice booming through the microphone. “But tonight is not just about me, it’s also about the future of our company.”The room fell silent as he continued, “As most of you know, I am getting old and it’s ti

“FUCK!” Jarred slammed his hand onto the steering wheel as they climbed into the car. Martha and Agnes both flinched, having witnessed his outburst before. The atmosphere in the car was tense and uncomfortable, causing everyone to feel on edge and unsure of what to do next.“How can this be.” Martha muttered, “Celene’s mom was the one who made me a gambling addict. She did it because she wanted to get revenge.”“What?” Jarred turned his head sharply towards the seat where his mother was sitting. He noticed Martha nervously nibbling on her thumb, her anxious and shocked expression causing him to worry even more about the situation. “What do you mean?”“T-the woman I was talking about before, the one who mocked me. It’s Celene’s mother.” she explained, causing Jarred to clench his jaw. The thought of going against a powerful family conglomerate filled him with fear for their future.“What are we going to do now?” Agnes asked anxiously, everything she said and done to Celene came rushing

“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
The Hidden Heiress's Remarriage 58: Chaotic and Busy
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
