The Hidden Heiress's Remarriage 43: Subject of the Gossip
“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

“LENE...”“Celene!” The sound of the chairman’s voice jolted her back to the real world. She then turned to look at her father, who was seated on the couch across from her in his office.Today was the day Celene would officially introduce herself as the heiress and the new CEO of Salvatore. However, she was distracted. She rubbed her temples, finding it hard to focus with the news of the accident weighing heavily on her mind.“What’s wrong? Are you not ready to be introduced to all the employees yet?” Herman asked, his voice etched with concern because it was unusual for Celene to act this absent-mindedly, especially during an important conversation. “Should we postpone it?”“No, Dad. Let’s do as planned,” she answered, trying her best to snap out of it so that she could concentrate properly. Then, she proceeded to inform her father about all the details she had noticed during her first month working as a regular employee, providing him with a comprehensive summary.Once she was done

“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

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
