MIGUEL

When we waited minutes for Catalina to come back, we decided she already called it quits for the day and headed inside. But I heard voices in a heated argument and rushed to see what was going on.

Catalina and Gabriella looked like they were about to throw blows.

“Spit it out Gabriella. What are you hiding?!” Catalina screamed at Gabriella.

“I don't know what you mean.” Gabriella said. She turned to me, “Miguel she's crazy. She's talking crazy!”

“Stop it both of you. What is this about?”

“Gabriella is hiding something.” Catalina accused.

“That's ridiculous. Okay then, what am I hiding?”

“You're in cahoots with someone.”

“Calm down Catalina.” I interfered, “Are you sure of what you're saying? I don't take false accusations lightly.”

“I'm sure. I heard her say, "they needed to act fast and get rid of the obstacle.”

“Who's they?”

“Ask her! And ask her who the obstacle is…is it me? Say something Gabriella!” Catalina lunged towards Gabriella but Andrés quickly held her back.

    CATALINA “Are you sure of what you're saying?” Andrés asked me for the second time.I nodded. “Of course I'm sure. I have to do this.”He laughed at me. “You can't even look at the gun, how do you intend to use it?”“Just teach me Andrés.”“It was cool when it was little stuffs like kicks and blows, this is on another level.”“You see, that's it. I realized that those things are child's play compared to what I'm really facing here.” I had told Andrés to teach me how to use a gun and now he's freaking out. After overhearing Gabriella's conversation, I got scared. What if I had more enemies than Pablo? Learning how to land a blow won't do me any good. If I had to learn how to defend myself against people in the Mafia, I had to think and act like the Mafia.“Okay what's gotten into you? Spit it out.”I sighed, “nothing it's just…” I whispered to him, “I'm scared.”“Of Gabriella?”I nodded.“You're really overthinking things Catalina. Gabriella is harmless. Scary, but harmless. She w

    CATALINA I adjusted my sunglasses and glanced at Gabriella, who was busy scrolling through her phone. We stood outside a small café. The midday sun was bright, and scorching. I didn't want to be here. It was supposed to be a bonding exercise, an attempt by Miguel to smooth over our differences, but so far, we hadn't said a word to each other.Gabriella let out a sigh and tucked her phone into her bag. “Aren't you going in?”“No. Don't tell me you want to spend the day at a café?”“Do you have any ideas?”I hesitated. “No, but if I come up with one, it wouldn't be as lame as yours.”“I heard what Miguel said to you. You're only doing this because you want something from him so I don't expect you to put much effort into it.”“You're not wrong. But I haven't been outside in a long while, so I'm not going to waste my time at a café.”“So, where are we going first?” she asked, her tone was distant.I crossed my arms. “Well, we can go anywhere, do anything. We have Miguel's card and you

    MIGUEL I laid her drunken body not so gently on her bed and tried to cover her up.“Be careful with me!” She demanded. “Big, bad Miguel.”“Reckless Catalina.”“I'm not reckless.”“You think it's funny? Going around exposing your body? MY BODY!” I was trying hard to control myself. Seeing her up there, dancing and mingling with that man annoyed me. I wanted to make him suffer for a while, then kill him slowly just for laying his filthy hands on her.“It's not your body.”“That’s funny. I paid for it.”“I've had enough of all this. Stop confusing me Miguel. One minute you're all over me, the next you're avoiding me. Do you even know what you want? Clearly you don't because if you did…..”“I'm going to need you to shut up now,” I said, and kissed her.She didn't hesitate to return the kiss. I pulled gently on her lower lip. “That worked,” I said as I pulled myself away from her.“This is not fair,” she said.She kissed me again, harder this time. “It's not fair to make me want you so

    CATALINAI didn't appreciate the new atmosphere around the house. Everyone walked on eggshells because of Miguel's new raging temper. I myself avoided him, partly because of what happened in my room the other night and partly because I always seemed to be the cause of his problems these days. I had a theory, there was definitely a spy around here. How else would they know about my relationship with Miguel? And no matter how I think about it, Gabriella seemed to be the suspect that best fits the category.She's the only one who goes out and comes in as she pleases, there was that suspicious phone call and who hates the fact that Miguel has changed ever since I came into his life? Gabriella.I contemplated telling Miguel but he wouldn't believe me. He'd take her side as usual and brush me off like some stupid girl who doesn't know anything. “So that's your theory?” Andrés asked me, he was the only one I could talk to about my hunch concerning Gabriella.“What do you think?

    CATALINA Slowly, I opened my eyes, my vision was blurry, and my body was still trembling. My breath came in shallow gasps as the memory of what I had just witnessed replayed in my mind. Blood. Gunshots. Miguel's cold, unbothered laughter. I blinked a few times, trying to make sense of where I was. The curtains and the feel of the fabric beneath me— I was on my bed, in my room. "You're awake," a familiar voice said. I turned my head and found Andrés sitting close to me, his arms crossed over his chest. His usual playful demeanor was gone, replaced by something unreadable."What happened?" My voice was weak."You fainted," he replied simply.I swallowed hard. "I saw—" I couldn't finish the sentence, I was still scared.Andrés shushed me. "You don't have to say it."My stomach churned. The man I thought I knew, the one who made me feel safe, had just executed three people in front of an entire crowd without a second thought. And no one—not a single person—reacted. It was a normal

    MIGUEL Andrés made a huge discovery. The spy has been discovered. He was one of the guys that guarded my house. Andrés found a burner phone used to make secret calls in his room and papers that resembled the one used to write the note that threatened me.“So, where is he now?” I asked.“He fled, but our men are looking for him. I'll bring him to you soon, boss.”“I need him alive, I have some questions for him.”“Yes boss.”It seemed strange that Jose would be a spy, he didn't seem like it. It's always the unsuspecting ones right? I still didn't rule out the fact that there was still danger lurking around. I had to be extremely careful, especially with Catalina. It has been very hard pretending to not care about her, when I saw her faint it was like my world was turning upside down. She thought I put on that show to scare her, whilst I only did it to scare other gang leaders that wanted to even think of going against me. The news would spread that Miguel Alejandro was still as ru

    CATALINA I wondered what was wrong with Miguel, but whatever it was, I was loving it. He wanted to take me out and I was really excited about it. Though I had to act like it was a nuisance to me.“You want me to. What should I do with that?”Miguel groaned. “Don't be a bore Catalina.”“Okay, but only because you begged.”He laughed. “Begged?”“Yup.”His arms circled my waist. “You always beg me, but you don't see me making fun of you.”“I don't beg you. When did I?”He leaned and whispered in my ear. “When I touch you, when you moan my name, you always beg me not to stop.”I suddenly felt uncomfortable. “What are you saying? That's not true.”He nibbled on my ear. “Are you sure about that?”I breathed deeply. “I'm sure.”He breathed into my ear and used his tongue to tickle my ear, his warm breath and gentle tongue sent shivers down my spine. “Should we try it out?” He asked me.“Uhmm….no, I don't think we should.”He slid his hands inside my dress and traced his fingers down my ba

    MIGUEL She looked beautiful, and sexy. Even though I've come to realize that Catalina would always look beautiful and sexy to me. She frowned as she walked up to me. What I did still upset her. She had no idea what else I'd planned for us today. “Stop staring at me.”I smirked. “I can't do that Mi amor.”She rolled her eyes. “Let's just go.”We drove silently to the club, I ordered my guys to wait outside, we were going in alone. Catalina gasped as she entered. “Why is this place empty?” She turned to me. “Don't tell me you rented the whole place.”“It's my club, I don't have to rent it out.”“So you ordered everyone to leave?”I simply shrugged.“That's just….bad.”“Are you sure? Because I can see you blushing.”“I'm not blushing! How are we supposed to have fun when it's just the two of us?”“We can totally have fun by ourselves. The music is playing, you dance and I watch you. That's fun.”“That's just fun for you. It's torture for me.”“Live with it.”She groaned loudly. “I nee

    CATALINA Today's my first day. As a boss. And guess what? I didn't even know the kind of company that was given to me. And that's why I was in Miguel's room instead of getting ready for work.“A construction company?” I asked in bewilderment.“Yes, it's the best fit for you amongst the rest.” He sighed. “You haven't told me why you're in such a hurry to start?”“Forget that. What are the other options I have?”“There's an art gallery, a fishing company, casinos, private security firms and I have people running all these places for me.”I disliked the idea of running those kinds of places. “Well, if I'm going to run the construction company it has to go clean.”“Learn how to run it first, we'll talk about the rest later.”I knew it'd be hard to convince him, but I would eventually. “Now, let me go and get ready.”“Remember,” he stopped me. “Two bodyguards with you at all times, two at the entrance.”“Noted.” No arguments whatsoever, I didn't care if they were ten… I was doing somethi

    MIGUEL Catalina didn't understand me. I keep telling her no for her own good. What was I thinking when I added giving her a company as a clause in the contract? The companies I have were just coverups for more illicit and illegal activities. I don't want her to get involved in something like that. What if it scares her away? And Pablo, he was hunting for her like a crazy dog.She's been locked up in her room for hours now and I didn't know if going to talk to her was the best thing to do. I looked at the files that had been on my desk since morning. The best thing would be to destroy them right? I've had it for a while now and always thought of what to do with them. Should I show her? She deserves to know right? I kept asking myself over the months I've known her, and now that we've gotten closer, I'm even more scared to tell her the truth I've been keeping from her. Maybe later, but for now these files have to be destroyed. I'd burn them later, for now I just threw them in the

    CATALINA Things didn't change. Miguel didn't treat me differently as we got home, though it was still too early for me to tell. I just had this nagging feeling that it was too good to be true.From the way he held me as I slept, to the way he laughed freely while we snuck into the kitchen and foraged for food. I'd never seen him so carefree and relaxed.Once we got into the kitchen, Miguel went straight for the fridge while I tiptoed around, pretending to be a spy. It was kind of funny. The owner of the house was scared of being caught in his kitchen eating the food he provided.He pulled out leftover sandwiches and some kind of pasta dish that smelled way too good to resist.He placed everything on the counter and turned to me. “Anything else?”I grinned. “Dessert. There has to be dessert.”Miguel nodded and opened the fridge, bringing out a slice of chocolate cake. My eyes lit up. “Good one!”We sat at the dining table and quietly ate all the food. "Full?" he had asked when I

    MIGUEL The minute Catalina gave me the plate number, I handed it over to Andrés."Run it. I want to know everything, the owner, address, who they work for.""On it boss," Andrés said, already pulling out his phone as he walked away.I turned back to Catalina. She looked exhausted, maybe still a little shaken by everything she'd learned today. I hated that she had to go through all this because of me. I should have just let her live her life. "You should rest," I said, reaching for her hand. "I'll handle this."She hesitated. "Whatever you do, be careful."A small smile tugged at my lips. She was actually worried about me. "I’m not alone, Catalina. I have an army…literally." I squeezed her hand gently. "You, on the other hand, need sleep. You need to rest."She hesitated for a bit, then nodded in agreement."Good girl," I said, and leaned in to press a kiss on her forehead.Gabriella cleared her throat loudly. "I see some things have changed," she muttered under her breath, walking

    CATALINA The fear I felt didn't leave me. As we got ready to leave Miami, I still feared that Miguel would change once we went back home. He would worry about people seeing him as weak and using me to get to him.“Hey, are you okay?”“Mhmm,” I lied. I wasn't okay, I was worried to my bones.“I love this dress,” Miguel said, checking out my outfit. It was a black mini gown that clung to my body and revealed my curves. “Remind me to get Gabriella a gift, she's really outdone herself this time.”“I was actually worried when you said Gabriella packed my bags. I thought she'd give me something hideous to wear.”Miguel smiled. “You have to give her some credit, she means well.”I shook my head. “I doubt that. She's really against us. She just wants me gone so badly.”“She's only looking out for me,” Miguel said, he was putting together his things now.“You keep saying that. Is she like your past lover or something? She acts like one.”Miguel laughed. “Does it look like that?” He was done

    CATALINA Okay. I know I said I'd build my walls even higher….but how could I do that when he's doing all these sweet things for me? The way he looks at me and touches me. Maybe I should bring my walls down a bit? Watch how things go….I had this fear that things would go back to the way they were once we went back to Mexico. If they did, I'll have to accept my fate and keep the memories of this place buried in my heart.“How much is that?” I asked, rising up from his body. We'd been kissing for so long that I lost track of time.He licked his lips. “I don't know…. five million maybe?”I laughed. “That's fair.”“You want to wipe off another five?”“Not yet,” I made my way into the small cottage. “I want to see inside.”Miguel groaned in disapproval. “Okay fine.”We made our way inside the cottage, I gasped as I entered…it looked so beautiful.“Do you like it?” Miguel asked, “we'll stay here for the night and head out tomorrow morning before going back to Mexico. I know I promised to

    MIGUEL She disappeared into the bathroom, I heard the sound of water running moments later.I sank onto the edge of the massive bed, running a hand down my face.What the hell was I doing?It wasn't supposed to be like this.I was supposed to keep her close, have my fun and let her go after a year.But somewhere between pretending she didn’t affect me and pretending I didn’t want her, I'd stopped pretending.And now... I was so far gone I couldn't see straight.I leaned back, staring at the ceiling, letting my thoughts go in different directions.She deserved more than a man like me.I wasn't stable.I held secrets that could make her hate me forever.But selfishly, I wanted her anyway.The bathroom door creaked open, and I lifted my head.Catalina stepped out, wrapped in a towel, her skin still wet and her hair damp from the shower. She looked soft, fresh…. beautiful.She paused when she caught me staring, her cheeks turning pink. “I’ll just get dressed,” she mumbled.I stood up sl

    CATALINA When the wedding finally ended and the guests started leaving in ones and twos, Miguel pulled me aside, away from the crowd that were scrambling to talk to him, onto a quiet balcony that overlooked the water. The night air was warm and heavy with the scent of salt and roses.We stood there for a long moment, neither of us speaking.I marveled at the beauty of this place and wondered….if I ever got married, what would my wedding be like?Miguel turned to face me, his hands sliding into his pockets.“Thanks for coming with me,” he said suddenly.I blinked. “Ten million is a good bargain.”He laughed, then he was suddenly serious. His voice, low and rough. “Your time and presence is worth more than that.”“Maybe you could make it forty million then.”He laughed again. “No way! I have other ideas to collect my debt.”I stared at him, the wind teasing strands of hair into my face. “What ideas? Tell me.”His fingers gently brushed against my skin as he carefully swept a strand o

    CATALINA Hmph! Another morning in this awful place. How long have I been here? How many months do I have left? Can I possibly avoid everyone until then?Gosh! I was so embarrassed. He knew that I wanted something more? He knew it and he continued treating me like that?!Bastard!Selfish bastard!He even managed to turn my own stunt against me. Now I owe him forty million, what if he uses it as an excuse to keep me here another year? That'd be disastrous.There was a soft knock on my door, then came the voice I didn't want to hear at the moment. “Catalina, can we talk?”No, we can't. “It's really important, and I'll break down your door if you don't open up.”I groaned deeply, opening the door with a force that nearly yanked my arm away from my body. “What?!!”He smiled at me and my heart leaped into my stomach. “Buenos días to you too.”I'm not having any of this. “You have ten seconds….”“I have to attend the wedding of a distant friend and I need a plus one.
