Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Second Marriage with CEO: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Lyra was awakened by a deafening noise.She had lived alone in this villa for two years and had never been disturbed. Why was it suddenly so noisy?Could it be him?Lyra felt her heart pounding wildly. Was it he who had returned?She almost immediately jumped up from the lounge chair, opened the door, and rushed downstairs.The previously serene living room was dimly lit, with blaring music emanating from the speakers.While Lyra was puzzled, a woman's voice came, "Hey, you there, get me some ice."Lyra turned her head and saw a glamorous woman holding a glass of red wine, pointing arrogantly at her with her other hand.The woman, noticing Lyra's hesitation, impatiently raised her chin, "Are you deaf? Go get some ice!""Who are you?" Lyra frowned.The woman's pupils contracted as she looked Lyra up and down.When her gaze fell on Lyra's plain cotton pajamas, she smirked with disdain, as if looking at something unsophisticated.The woman waved her hand impatiently, "I understand. I'll

Ronan accepted a family alliance and married a stranger he didn't know. After the marriage, he began to live a debauched life, indulging in luxuries to deceive those in the family. However, in secret, he was steadily consolidating his power, waiting for the day when he could completely control Zenith Ventures.As for the woman he married, he didn't even remember her name or face. Yet, this woman had self-awareness and never uttered a word about his philandering ways. Every month, he would allocate a meager ten thousand dollars as her living expenses. Considering she was his wife, the amount seemed too paltry, especially when he easily spent hundreds of thousands on the celebrities he dated.Nevertheless, once Cordelia Locke's surgery was successful, he planned to divorce her and provide substantial alimony for the understanding wife."Lyra! Open the door!" Urgent knocking echoed from outside.Lyra, busy applying for jobs online, startled and hurried to open the door. As she did, a red

The head of the design department saw the situation and hurried over, smiling at Lumi Hawthorne, "Miss Lumi, what's happening here?"Lowering her head, Lumi Hawthorne played with her meticulously done nails and spoke lazily, "Even a mere assistant from Horizon Global Enterprises Inc. dares to be so arrogant? This assistant should either kneel and apologize to me or get lost!"A hint of anger flickered in Lyra's eyes as she said, "Lumi Hawthorne, you're going too far!"The head of the design department frowned, trying to appease the situation, "Miss Lumi, this employee is new here and doesn't quite understand the rules. I'll have a word with her, but asking her to kneel and apologize is a bit..."Lumi Hawthorne casually smiled but with a strong tone, "I'm the high-priced spokesperson for Horizon Global Enterprises Inc. If she doesn't kneel today, I'll quit being the spokesperson!""This..." The head of the design department didn't expect Lumi Hawthorne to be so difficult. Asking for a

As she walked, the long skirt moved gracefully, creating patterns that resembled flowers. There were no spelling, grammar, or punctuation errors in the original text. Even her departing silhouette was captivating.Torin smiled at them and excused himself, following after Lyra.Lumi Hawthorne already held grudges against Lyra, and at this moment, Ronan's piercing gaze intensified her aversion, generating a sense of crisis within her.Leaning into Ronan, Lumi Hawthorne almost hung onto him, her face nuzzling against his chest, her tone delicate, "Ronan, let's eat, I'm a bit hungry."However, Ronan gripped her waist, pulling her away from him, displaying impatience and coldness, "Enough, stop acting up."Ronan narrowed his dark eyes, feeling a vague familiarity with the girl beside Torin.Lyra walked briskly, anger surging within her. She believed she didn't care anymore.Yet, upon witnessing Ronan and Lumi Hawthorne's public display of affection, her anger couldn't be contained.Rushing

"Torin smiled gently, resembling a considerate boss concerned for his subordinate. 'Though work demands effort, your health is equally important.'The busy work quickly made Lyra forget the incident with the flowers.Ring, ring, the phone on Lyra's desk rang."Hello, Design Department," she answered."Miss Lyra?" a woman's voice came from the other end."Yes, speaking. May I know who this is?""I'm the secretary of ZenithVentures' CEO, Mr. Ronan. The CEO would like to invite you for lunch," the secretary politely and skillfully stated, as if arranging such matters had been done countless times for Ronan.Lyra, unapologetically, responded over the phone, "I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with Mr. Ronan. Please tell him not to disturb me anymore. Thank you!"Without waiting for the secretary's response, she hung up.Lyra sneered. Was Ronan still persistent?Ironically, she used to obediently wait for Ronan at the Majestic Crest Villa every day, but he never took her seriously.Now that s
