All Chapters of Arranged Marriage to the Cold-Hearted CEO: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Chapter 52 – CrossfireAkala ni Celine ay tapos na ang lahat nang lumabas ang katotohanan sa korte. Habang nakasandal siya sa balikat ni Liam sa loob ng kotse pauwi, ramdam niya ang gaan ng dibdib. “Parang… for the first time, nakahinga ako ng maluwag,” mahina niyang sabi.Ngumiti si Liam, hinaplos ang kamay niya. “You deserve peace, Celine. At kahit sino pa ang sumubok na sirain ‘yon, I’ll make sure na protektado ka.”Pero hindi nila alam, sa kabilang dako ng lungsod, nagbabantay si Valeria, hawak ang isang baso ng alak habang nakatingin sa mga breaking news sa TV. Sa bawat ulat ng pagkatalo niya sa korte, mas lalong kumukulo ang dugo niya.“Akala niyo tapos na ‘to?” bulong niya, habang marahang pinipiga ang baso hanggang mabasag sa kamay niya. “Hindi pa kayo nananalo. Hindi pa.”---Kinabukasan, gising na gising si Celine, masayang naghahanda ng kape para kay Liam. Pero bago pa niya maabot ang tasa, bumukas ang TV sa kusin

Chapter 54 – Checkmate in the MakingIsang linggo matapos ang sunod-sunod na gulo, ramdam na ni Celine ang pagbabago ng hangin. Kung dati ay puro hate comments at fake news ang bumabaha sa social media, ngayon ay mas marami na ang nagsusulat ng suporta.“Celine, look!” tawag ng assistant niya, sabay pakita ng trending post. Isang estudyante ang nag-tweet ng, “Kung may babaeng gaya ni Celine na strong at hindi sumusuko, inspired ako na kayanin din lahat ng pagsubok.”Napangiti si Celine habang hawak ang phone. Hindi niya alam kung iiyak ba siya o matatawa. “Nakaka-touch pala,” bulong niya.Biglang pumasok si Liam sa opisina, may hawak na folder. “Good news,” aniya. “The authorities have officially opened an investigation against Valeria. Our evidence worked.”Nanlaki ang mata ni Celine. “Wait, talaga? As in legit na iniimbestigahan na siya?”“Yes,” tumango si Liam, halatang may pride sa boses. “She’s been cornered. Every step she

Chapter 56 – Shadows After the DawnThe morning after their first night together, Celine woke up to the sound of waves. The curtains swayed lightly, sunlight spilling into the villa. She turned and found Liam still asleep beside her, his arm draped over her waist, his chest rising and falling in rhythm. For a moment, she just stared at him — this man who once terrified her with his coldness, now holding her like she was his entire world.She smiled faintly, tracing her finger against his jawline. “You look less scary when you’re asleep,” she teased softly, though she knew he couldn’t hear her.Liam’s eyes fluttered open, catching her. “Scary? Really?” he said with that low, husky morning voice that made her cheeks heat.Celine laughed nervously. “I-I mean… sometimes.”He smirked, pulling her closer until her head rested against his chest. “Then I’ll make sure you only see this side of me from now on.”It was bliss. The kind of pe

Chapter 58 – Face to FaceThe next morning, tahimik ang buong villa. Celine sat by the balcony, staring blankly at the ocean. She hadn’t slept all night—puro iyak, puro tanong. Ang sakit pa rin, pero at the same time, may parte ng puso niya na gustong paniwalaan si Liam. The problem was… kaya pa ba niyang magtiwala?She hugged her knees tighter, habang iniisip kung paano niya haharapin si Liam kapag nagising na siya.Pero paglingon niya, wala na sa kama ang lalaki. Napakunot ang noo niya. “Liam?” she called softly, pero walang sumagot.Naglakad siya palabas, hanggang sa maid na nagdadala ng breakfast tray ang sumalubong. “Ma’am, your husband left early. Business meeting daw po sa city.”Celine’s chest tightened. Business? Or… Valeria?---Meanwhile, in Manila, Liam stormed into a luxurious penthouse suite. His men had already tracked Valeria’s location. Pagkapasok niya, Valeria greeted him with a sly smile, dressed

Chapter 60 -One Last Chance The next morning, Celine woke up with swollen eyes. Parang mabigat pa rin ang dibdib niya, at kahit anong pilit niyang bumangon, ramdam pa rin niya yung lungkot at bigat ng nangyari. She touched the empty side of the bed — cold na, wala na si Liam.Did he leave? she wondered, her heart tightening.Pero bago pa siya makapag-isip ng kung ano, her phone buzzed. May bagong notification. Her heart sank when she saw the name: Valeria.> “Good morning, darling. I hope you enjoyed the video. That was just the beginning. If you want more ‘proof’ of Liam’s loyalty, let me know. Oh, and don’t cry too much — baka mawalan ng gana si Liam sa’yo kapag lagi kang hagulgol.”Celine’s hands shook. Ang kapal talaga ng mukha ni Valeria. She wanted to throw her phone sa dagat, pero pinigilan niya. Deep inside, she knew Valeria was playing a game — and right now, she was the pawn.---Meanwhile, Liam
