Katalina

“Katalina?” His voice trembled. “Katalina is that you?”

He took a step towards us. His face turned pale, his bright eyes were blazing with shock and confusion. His chest was heaving, and I could see the sweat oozing from his skin as it soaked him up.

My god, what is he doing here?

Every hair on my skin stood at attention. I suddenly had the urge to break free from Hoseok's grip and run, but he wasn't letting me go.

“Mr. Ignatius. Are you looking for me?” Hoseok, though holding me with an iron grip, turned to the apparition in front of me and asked.

Oh, how is he real? Hoseok can see him too?

“I just…” the ghost started saying, but stopped. His gaze was on me and I couldn't help but shiver.

“Katalina, you, how is this possible?” He asked with eyes filled with confusion.

“Who is Katalina?” Hoseok asked and to my relief, he noticed his guest's gaze on me. He instantly stepped between us. “Mr Ignatius. You are mistaken. This is Catheri

  • Married To My Mother's Fiance    couldn't get angry

    HuracioThe first time I saw her, it was at the TopLink building two days ago. Salvatore is systematically dissolving the Alkim’s estates and my job is to find the safest way to liquidate assigned assets without raising any alarm whatsoever. This was why I visited the TopLink building. Just as I entered the elevator that led to the CEO’s office and it was closing, she was coming into the corridor. When I first saw her, I thought it was an apparition. I thought I was being haunted again. I didn't mind. I have long embraced the occasional echoes of her voice that seeps into my ears randomly. Her laughter that flusters in the wind anytime I go to the beach, or her smiling face that dazzles me in my sleep. Sometimes, when I am having dinner, I would imagine her sitting across from me, eating and complimenting my food. It didn't matter that back then, she did the cooking and I did the compliments. So, when I saw her, I thought maybe I had finally somehow made her materializ

  • Married To My Mother's Fiance    felt strange

    HuracioIt felt strange. Having Katalina standing against me. Her blazing eyes filled with fear, yet courageous. I would have applauded it, but at that moment, we were not on the same side. “Am I?” I chuckled. Before arriving at this place, I had a sense of urgency, but the moment I saw her, my tumultuous heart calmed like a still lake. Just looking at her made me feel at peace. The kind of peace I haven't felt in a long time. “We are divorced, Huracio. I am in a new relationship and you are also engaged to be married. What do you want from me?” She continued. “What do I want from you? Kitty, you are mine, you will always be mine. Have you forgotten that?” “Mr Ignatius. Catherine is my girlfriend and I do not appreciate the tone you are taking with her. Like she said, you guys are divorced. So, she is not yours.” Kim Hoseok growled. I almost laughed at his words. “Divorced? When? Where? Kitty, I will never let you go. Even your corpse will

    Katalina“You have to help me!” I grabbed Hoseok's hand once Huracio got into his car. To my exasperation, Hoseok just shrugged casually. “He can't do anything to you as long as I am here.” This over pampered man had no idea what he was messing with, but he was all I had. I must somehow make him getting moving.“No, Hoseok. You don't understand. Huracio can do and undo. He will find a way. Please, help me.” “Let's go back and talk about this. But first, are you Catherine, or Katalina?” He sneered, his gaze filled with suspicion. Knowing I had no choice but to come clean, I ran my hands through my hair in despair. “It's a long story.” “Kata, what will happen now?” Emilia stepped forward. She was pale and scared. “I don't know. I honestly don't know.” Back in the apartment, I told Hoseok a watered down version of what really happened, and lied about why I needed to escape. “He is that kind of man?” He gasped when I told him that Hur

    Warning: This book is purely fictional. It's rich with erotic content, BDSM and bits of violence so proceed with caution. *** Silence. Utter silence is what enveloped me as the eyes of the guests remained fixed on me. Not just the guests, but also the officiant of the wedding and my... groom. I closed my eyes, hoping that the moment I opened them again, everything would fade and I would be back to reality. Nothing felt real at that moment. I needed a reality that I wasn't standing at the altar, about to take vows, marriage vows to wed my mother's fiance. Sounds ridiculous, right? But that was the plight I was in. Looking around,I could see the eager looks on their faces. Those who knew the stand -in bride thing maybe expected me to chicken out. But could I really do that? “ Come on little bird. Everyone is watching and you don't want to make me a joke In front of all these people.” Huracio’s voice whispered into my ears,sending tremors all over my body.A smile adjo

    The words settled like lead in my chest, pressing down on me and making my breath labored. That didn’t sound like my mother. Whoever Huracio was talking about wasn't my beloved mother.Why would she run away on the day of her own wedding?My mother was finally happy—wasn’t she? I shook my head, refusing to believe it. “No… There has to be some mistake. My mother wouldn’t leave like that.” I was finding it hard to believe my mother left, much less on her wedding day. I was convinced that something else happened rather than accepting Huracio's accusations. Huracio stepped closer, his expression hardening. “Believe what you will, but that’s the reality we’re facing.” He snapped at me, forcing me to take a step back. The man never raised his voice at me before so seeing him acting like a beast shocked me, Just like my mother's disappearance. How could this happen? Did she perhaps get kidnapped or drunk too much last night that she blacked out? Yes, that must be it. Forcing

    Turning around, I came face to face with a fuming Kelvin. The eyes that used to stare at me with so much adoration held nothing but hatred…and disappointment. I opened my mouth to say something but no words registered in my mind nor left my mouth. What was I supposed to say anyway? That this was a misunderstanding? That I was forced into this? But wouldn't that warrant mine and my mother's painful death as per Huracio's promise. There's also a possibility that Kelvin wouldn't even believe me. I mean,I wouldn't have believed it if I found him marrying someone secretly. Why would he believe my absurd explanation? I turned to face Huracio only to find him smiling. He was fucking smiling, as if daring me to say one wrong word. With a heavy heart, I turned around and decided to walk away. A walk of shame ànd pain. Everything was over for me. My relationship of two years crumbled as I watched. I could do nothing about it. “ Are you turning your back on me after cheatin

    Huracio “ What the hell do you mean you lost her? How hard is it to track a woman?” I yelled on the phone, unable to control my building rage. I had instructed my men to track Helena, Katalina's mother. That woman thought she could run from me, the devil. Too bad for her,I was going to find her and drag her back here then she was going to explain exactly what transpired eighteen years ago. They had a trail they were supposed to follow, how could she just disappear out of the blue? My plan was falling into place, how could I allow her to escape my grip? “ Find her. I want her found and brought to me as soon as possible." I barked orders before ending the call. “Useless!" I cursed, kicking a flower vase in my office, sending the item shattering on the marble floor. “ Calm down,we still have everything under control." My best friend and second in command, Salvatore,said trying to calm me. " What fucking control? Everything is falling apart. That woman must have le

    KATALINA My heartbeats grew erratic with fear as I made my way out of the toilet. The hair on the back of my head stood straight. The look he gave me after I slapped him sent chills down my spine. What have I gotten myself into? Mum, what have you done? Why did you leave this mess for me to clean up? Am I cleaning up it or making it worse? What am I going to do now? I have no idea how we got to his house. I was in a daze throughout the trip. When we got there, I was filled with dread, thinking he would force himself on me. The thought of him touching me creeped me out. I couldn't help but think of Kelvin. His patience all this time, only for him to lose to a thug. A demon. He dragged me into his bedroom and wrapped his arms around me. I was bombarded with his scent. His perfume was musky, with a hint of spiciness, mixed with the pungent smell of cigars. I hated the smell of smoke and instantly felt repulsed. I tried to push him away, but he was too strong. He buried his nose in

    Katalina “...”Batum, Batum… My heart throbbed. For a moment, all I could see was Huracio's face. The tone, the gaze, the intensity, the possessiveness… My body shivered and my brain went blank. I couldn't help it. “Hugh!” Dean straightened up and cleared his throat, bringing me back to my senses. Realizing that I just got dazed while staring into Dean's eyes, I turned red, hoping that he wouldn't misunderstand. “I…” “You sure know how to pick them, Ms Cook.” An unfamiliar voice came from my back. Turning around, I found the Asian girl from the restaurant incident walking towards me with a radiant smile on her face. “You again?” I titled my head to the side, wondering where I knew her or how. I initially thought she was acquainted with Williams’ girlfriend, but that lady was nowhere to be found even though Williams was standing a few feet away from me. “Yes, me aga…” “You are quite something, Catherine.” Bella interjected with righteo

    KatalinaWhen I told Emilia how things went down at the office, she nearly blew a gasket.To avoid Hoseok, I blocked him everywhere and made sure that my schedule was filled up with field work. Three days later, I received an email from the HR office, notifying me of actions taken. Grace was fined and her salary was deducted. She was ordered to write an apology letter which I will never see, and my resignation notice was acknowledged. Earlier in the week, preparation for Master Kim-yung’s 60th birthday went into full swing. Everyone in the office was talking about the gifts to buy for him. Since I was leaving in less than two weeks, I felt no obligation to join in the discussion, and when I was told of the contribution to be made, I completely ignored them. Hoseok came to my place twice. Emilia was the one who attended to him both times. She made it clear that if he should show up ever again, she would call the cops. Then, he showed up at my son's school

    “What the hell is going on?” Grace stood up, banged the table, and yelled, the moment Freddy left the room. “Yeah, what is going on?” The woman from Headquarters stood up, facing my department Head of HR. “How come the CEO’s office was able to gather evidence, but you weren't? Are you trying to humiliate me?” “It's a misunderstanding, Ma’am. I will quickly look into it.” The man stuttered and got to his feet. “This meeting will be adjourned.” Headquarters HR snorted and left the room. The silent man beside her hurriedly packed up her things and hurried out too. Suddenly, it was just the three of us from TopLink that remained in the conference room. “Catherine, don't think you have won. Hoseok can not protect you this time around.” Grace stood up and snapped. Though her words were sharp, I could see the wariness that entered her eyes the moment Freddy stepped into the room. He was gone, but he remained. She was worried. I rolled my eyes and walked a

  • Married To My Mother's Fiance    last night

    10 on the dot, I was seated in the conference hall, facing four people from the HR office. Two are from TopLink, while the rest are from the headquarters. Grace was also present, but she looked so smug, no one would believe she was just a special assistant and not one of the company's executives. Last night, I convinced myself that I wouldn't be scared, but seated there, facing those cold looking people, my heart couldn't help but tremble… “Having gone through your complaint letter, we have done our investigations and found most of the complaints here unfounded. There is no evidence to support your claims.” The woman from Headquarters solemnly said. “What do you mean? There are many people who witnessed these things. Did you ask them or just decide that whatever Grace says is the truth?” I couldn't help but snap at her. I turned to TopLink’s head of HR, but his eyes were glaring at me. “Sir, how come they can't find any evidence?” I continued, unfazed by his angr

    It wasn't long before I was summoned by the head of the accounting department, who happens to also be my team leader. When I told him what happened, he was speechless for just two minutes before making a three-sixty on me. “You shouldn't have hit her under any circumstances.” He said then cleared his throat. When he said that, it was like I heard the clashing of cymbals. “What? I didn't hit her first. She pushed me.” “Even then, you should have just let her rant and leave. Honestly Catherine, your presence in my team has been giving me a lot of headaches. I have tried to be fair and protect you in the past months, but with what you did today, I don't know if I can keep protecting you.” First, what the fuck was he talking about? Since my appointment was confirmed, I have endured a series of bullying from several staff members. Some from my department, and mostly from the CEO’s office. In all these, I made sure not to make any mistakes in my work, and I tried to avoid these people.
