11: Few Screws Loose

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?” Celene asked, her brows knitted together. Even though she was already aware of their affair, seeing it with her own eyes only fueled her anger even more. She imagined grabbing the vase nearby and smashing it against their faces, but she quickly dismissed the thought. She wouldn’t stoop to such violent measures, especially inside the company.“Before you jump to conclusions, let me explain first. She was merely trying to help me by blowing gently into my eye because something had stung it, and I couldn’t see clearly.” he quickly responded, his hands firmly holding onto her waist as he pulled her closer. Then, he turned to look at Agnes with a serious expression, “You’ve already delivered the report, you can go,”“Yes sir,” she replied, striding past them with a sneer on her face as she made eye contact with Celene.“You don’t suspect me of cheating, do you? I swear she was just—”“I know, you don’t have to be so defensive.” Celene smiled, but there was a hint of sa

12: Impending Divorce

“I MISSED AGNES,” Martha said out loud, causing Celene to suddenly stop eating the breakfast prepared by their maid. With a heavy sigh, she placed her fork down and slid her chair back before standing up, feeling completely fed up as she could never seem to catch a break.“I lost my appetite,” she said, glancing down at her mother-in-law who raised an eyebrow at her. Martha had noticed the significant shift in Celene’s behavior since she returned from her business trip, and she didn’t like it. It was especially frustrating when she didn’t cook breakfast for them like she used to do.“Sit down, don’t be disrespectful,” Martha warned as she motioned to her daughter-in-law with her hand. Celene snorted in response, causing her eyes to widen in shock and disbelief.“Did you just scof—”“You have no right calling me disrespectful when you disrespected me first. This wasn’t the first time it had happened, and I refused to allow you to continue mistreating me.” Celene spoke her mind without

13: Rightful Position

“REALLY? Thank God! I was planning to hand in my resignation later today anyway.” Celene clapped once, her face brimming with excitement instead of looking depressed. Jarred and Agnes both furrowed their brows as they watched her strange behavior. After all, she was about to lose her job, yet she seemed strangely content about it.“I was going to be professional and make sure all of my work was organized before I left the company, but since you’ve already fired me, I’ll leave that task up to you and your mistress, okay?” Celene grabbed her bag and playfully tapped Jarred’s shoulder with a mocking smile on her lips, “Well then, good luck with running this company. Let’s see how long it can last.”She had been ready to walk away, but he grabbed her wrist and turned her to face him. She raised an eyebrow, not caring at all because she had made a promise to herself not to act desperate anymore. The woman she was now was the real Celene after all.“Stop touching me with your filthy hands,”

14: Strike While the Iron Is Hot

“WHAT in the world are you saying?” Celene blinked, trying to process what she had just heard. Surely, she must have misheard Noah’s words. There was no way he could have just asked her to marry him, not in this location and definitely not with everything going on in her life right now.“I asked you to marry me, but of course not immediately since you’re still legally tied to that scumbag,” His tone was matter of fact, earning another dumbfounded reaction from Celene.“Honestly, I have no idea what was going through your mind, but can you at least give me a break before dropping another bomb that would make my brain explode?” She groaned, running a hand through her messy curls, her heart beating faster for some reason. She then averted her gaze from him and instead focused on the window, “Where are you going to take me anyway?”“To your family’s home,” His response caused Celene to quickly turn her head towards him, her face displaying complete surprise. She had just asked for a break

15: Tense Atmosphere

THE WARM RAYS of sunlight streaming through the window stirred Celene from her sleep. She rubbed her eyes and sat up, slowly remembering that she had spent the night in the guest room of Noah’s penthouse. She had initially planned to stay at a hotel because she needed more time before facing her family again, but he insisted that she stay over at his place.At first, she declined the offer, but when he mentioned that he would go back to the company and wouldn’t return until much later, she changed her mind and accepted. Soon after dinner, she went to bed and couldn’t shake the thought of whether or not she had made the right decision by saying yes to Noah’s proposal. Her competitive nature had driven her to accept his offer, even though deep down she knew she might come to regret it in the future.But the thought of revenge consumed her mind, pushing all other thoughts aside. She was determined to make Jarred, Martha, and Agnes beg for her forgiveness, although she had no intention of

16: Starting Over

“YOU LOOKED THIN,” Isabelle’s expression was filled with worry as she gazed at her daughter whose eyes were still swollen from crying earlier. Celene returned her mother’s gaze and placed a hand on top of hers as they paused from eating for a moment.“Don’t worry, Mom. I was just feeling overwhelmed and stressed for the past few weeks, but I’m okay now. Your delicious cooking will definitely help me gain back the weight I lost.” She reassured, not wanting to see the worried expression on her beautiful mother’s face. “I missed your cooking, mom.”“Then eat more, I cooked most of your favorite dishes.” Isabelle smiled and Celene nodded before they resumed eating. She was grateful that they didn’t reprimand her for making a mistake by marrying Jarred. They never even mentioned it to spare her any discomfort. Plus, it seemed like they were already aware of everything, so there was no need for them to ask her any questions.“I’m glad to see you and Noah seemed to be getting along,” Herman

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

18: Dumb Couple

“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

19: Best Version

“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

20: Taste of His Own Medicine

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
