CATHERINA
I knew I most definitely must have read his lips wrong, there was no way in hell he would mouth sexy to me while we sat at the table and surrounded by my family. I was being paranoid about his attention towards me, that was all it was. My eyes trailed to the people at the table, my papa took the head seat while he, Andres Cruz sat beside him on his left and my mamma on the right. My sister sat gloomy faced beside him while I sat beside my mamma, trying to keep my eyes far away from his face. Antonio, my brother sat to my right glaring pointedly at Andres who made it a point to ignore him.
Rumor had it that Andres had beat him one day in a casino game and the price on the table was a night with the girlfriend of whomever won. Antonio’s girlfriend had been more than happy to spend the night with Andres and even left her panties with him as a souvenir which he sent to my brother the following day, soiled in her juices. They had broken up immediately but the insult remained with my brother who vowed to pay back in the same token.
He also was against the marriage but there was little we could do seeing that papa’s mind was already decided.
My eyes continued round the table, stopping when my attention caught on a lady whom obviously was my age judging from her beautiful and youthful face. She sat stoically beside a man with a scar that ran from his eyes down to his mouth giving him a somewhat twisted smirk. He had a hand on her shoulder and was rubbing it gently while the girl sat as though she wanted to be anywhere else but there; a well of pity sprang up from within me as our eyes met and held. I wondered if she also had been forcefully married into the family like my sister was about to be.
The others looked like they had come with him and there was no one that caught my attention, so I settled for looking at the painting above my sister’s head. It was one of a cat and a mouse which my father had purchased on one of his many travels. I assumed that he thought himself the cat and my mamma, the mouse.
“I will introduce my first daughter, Catherina” My papa’s voice boomed, causing my stomach to do a double flip as all eyes on the table settled on me.
I tried to smile but it came out as a grimace as I turned to him, acknowledging my name.
“Catherina, this is Andres Cruz and he is to be your brother-in-law.”
I know this so why was father making a show of introducing us in front of everyone, my head screamed.
“It is a pleasure to make your acqu…”
“We have been introduced.” He said interrupting my monologue.
My eyes snapped up to meet his in terror as my papa frowned visibly, glaring at me as if to ask if I had managed to sleep with this one too.
“When, pray tell did this meeting happen?” My papa asked, watching me with distaste.
Before I could get any words past my mouth, he answered.
“Earlier today, I bumped into Catherina by mistake.” He said, watching me with an amused expression as I struggled for words.
why is he staring at me like that and in front of everyone, it is totally embarrassing and given the wrong notion, I thought as I glanced down at the meal in front of me.
My papa muttered something inaudible and picked up his spoon, this signaled to everyone that it was time to eat although I did not think it concerned Andres much because he had already begun eating.
My hand trembled as I picked up my spoon, staring at my plate like I would love to disappear into it. I was scared and at the same time angry at my papa for his thoughts about me and his blatant disrespect. It was obvious that he would have loved to dispose of me like he did the boy that I had eloped with and if I wasn’t his daughter, he would have done just that.
Compliments went round about the food and my mamma preened underneath their praises but I could hardly take one spoon even when its delectable aroma teased my nostrils.
He was watching me again, daring me to look up at him but I refused to rise to his challenge. I was not going to give him the satisfaction of seeing me as the blundering fool that I was.
My eyes caught on some action from the direction of the young girl I had observed earlier and when I looked up, I could see what the problem was. The man with the scar was whispering something into her ears with forced urgency, he had a tight grip on her arm and she looked like she was about to cry.
I pretended as though I was looking somewhere else and observed the argument; if you could call it that because he was doing most of the talking while she was doing most of the nodding. My brother noticed this too but said nothing as he continued devouring his food with relish, it was as though everyone at the table was oblivious to the trouble brewing at that point and I did not think it was my place to say anything about it.
A gasp escaped my throat immediately the slap landed across the girl’s face; her head snapped to the side and her hand came up immediately to cup her cheek.
I watched the man beckon on a guard and he escorted the sobbing girl out of our presence and into the gardens.
“My apologies.” The man said to my father who grunted in approval and continued eating.
I was stunned as such display of violence that I let my spoon clatter to the plate with a loud bang. It was then that I turned to him.
He had the same amused expression on his face as he watched me but his eyes held violence; barely contained violence in their depths

She was nowhere in sight neither was the bodyguard who had done the honors. I turned to get out of the gardens before my papa began yelling for me only to stumble into Andres for the third time that day.He grabbed my shoulders to keep me upright whist muttering in Spanish about how clumsy I was.“Do you not look before you move?” he snapped.“Do you make it a habit of always being in people’s way?” I fired back him.His eyes twinkled with mirth, a reaction I was not expecting and did not know how to take.“You sure? That was not the notion I got when you slammed into me this morning”My heart skipped as I remembered all too well the feel of my breasts pressed against his chest as he caught me. He was right, I was acting like a whore and my papa would be pleased to see that he was right abo

FIVECATHERINA“Where have you been, hermana. I have been searching all over for you.” My sister asked, settling herself beside me.I had remained in the garden, pondering on so many things when Andres left. It was like my mamma had said, I loved to day dream but what she did not know is that it kept me sane and it was a safe place for me, away from my family and their drama.The music filtered through from the patio, old Spanish songs playing and if I wasn’t in such a mood; I would have smiled at the things the singer was trying to say.“I am just taking fresh air, what is the matter?” I asked.“Nothing, you are the only one I recognize in that house right now. Papa is entertaining one of his many guests and mamma, she is in a conversation with an anciana. They are discussing the wedding and I cannot help but feel pressured.” She said softly.“Come here.” I said, hugging her to myself as we both sat in the comfort of the gardens.She sniffled before saying“You know, I already packed

SIXCATHERINAI reached my room and bolted the door securely behind, my ears roaring and my heart thumping painfully in my chest. It was the way he had said my name Catherina in the most inappropriate way I had ever heard it said. My face still burned from the places his fingers have trailed and my lip remained seared by the feel of his thumb on them. I wasn’t supposed to feel that type of way for my own sister’s future husband; maybe my father was right and I was some kind of self- righteous whore.I collapsed on my bed and folded myself, hugging my knees. I was drained both physically and mentally but I still could not stop thinking about him, his eyes as he watched me and how I had felt stripped underneath his gaze. I did not think anyone could make me feel the way Andres Cruz had but then again there was no one like him.I closed my eyes to dispel the thought him and only succeeded when I finally succumbed to sleep but even then, he came in my dreams, watching me with eyes that co

SEVENCATHERINAWe all sat down at the table again, me to my mamma’s right and her to my papa’s. My sister sat beside her future husband whose sleeves were still rolled up; tempting me to look. I kept my eyes fastened to my plate, hoping there would be no drawing me into the conversation going on at the table… fat chance.My papa had extended an invite to Andres Cruz to dine with us after their little meeting that morning and again; just as last night, the presence of his uncle was required. My brother was absent for reasons best known to him and I was forced to sit beside his uncle who was doing all he could to look down the bodice of my gown and at my breasts.My papa glanced towards me and I could feel the disgust in his cold stare but I did not bother looking up, not because of him but because of the man sitting opposite me who was at that moment burning me with the intensity of his stare.“Your papa tells me you are a singer.” Franco Cruz and uncle to Andres said to me.“I am” I

EIGHTANDRESEverywhere was deathly silent after the gunshot. Mr Salvador stared at me with a look of alarm and also one of respect and admiration but I only had eyes for the fallen girl and her brother who had gone to rescue her from the weight of the dead meat that was my uncle.I dropped my gun to the table and let my arms rest beside my plate as I rolled my fork between my fingers. I was mad with rage and it burned brightly behind my eyes and in my blood. You could say that I saw red, the moment my uncle held a gun to Catherina and I snapped when he began calling her a whore.I turned to my uncle’s bodyguard who merely nodded in my direction indicating that he had no objection to his death. I still had to explain how he had died to the rest of my family but at this moment, I was in rage. My eyes darkened dangerously as Catherina was helped up by her brother, blood coating her face, her dress and hair. She had the look of someone who was shell shocked and who wouldn’t be? I had jus

NINEANDRESShe got up immediately, excusing herself from the table even as her dress dripped blood. My eyes followed her movement, waiting until her eyes met mine from behind her papa’s chair. I smiled in amusement at the wild look in her eyes but at the same I was concerned which was a feeling I found quite irritating.She turned and fled from my presence, her bloodied dress trailing behind her like in a horror movie. Mr Salvador cleared his throat beside me, drawing my attention back to him.“You shall take the body with you, I presume?” he asked“Yes, I shall” I answered distractedly as I glanced over to his wife who stayed silent beside him.“And you will definitely want something in return for the incident?” He asked.“You know the laws, Manuel.” I replied through gritted teeth, my eyes showing my anger.He nodded and then said nothing else; of course, he knew the laws. It was an eye for an eye but in this case, a life for a hand.I turned over to the sister who was sitting quie

TENCATHERINAI sat on my bed staring into space as I recalled the events of the past hour, the grip on my throat and the cold metal that had been pressed to my temple. I was still in the bloodied dress but I hardly paid much attention, the events stuck as a recurring nightmare in my head.The door to my room opened but I paid it no mind, I was in a world of throat gripping and metal pressing in my head.“Hermana…Catherina…are you okay?” my sister said, coming to my side.I nodded not glancing in her direction once; I was day dreaming but this time around, it was a fucking nightmare.“You need to get out of this dress, listen to me.” She said, shaking me.The sound of the gun ricocheted in my head as I jolted out of my day dream in shock.Tears streamed down my face then and the sobs escaped my throat“Hush now, come and take a bath.” My sister said, helping me to my feet.I passed the mirror on my way to the bathroom and bile rose up in my throat at the sight of my body drenched in b

There was no convincing somebody as bull headed as my papa that he was in the wrong.I sat on the couch with my sister Audrey beside me listening to the news about a drug bust and the death of one of the key witnesses to the crime.“That’s Andres’ warehouse, isn’t it?” my sister asked.“I suppose.” I answered as we

EIGHTEENALEJANDROShe was sitting too quietly for my liking… just there with her legs bunched together like I had taken the life force from her when we were barely started in our question for revenge.I had sent the nude pictures I had taken of her, straight to Andres’ through an untraceable network and I was now waiting for him to call me with the number I had dropped alongside the pictures. If there was anything I knew about my cousin, he was going to try and trace where the picture had come from and only when he is sure that he has exhausted all possible ways to find me will he place that phone call.I was giving him an hour at most before I heard from him… the empty threats. I call it empty because he would not be able to catch me so easily ever again. The last time I had allowed him do his worst to me even when I had not been directly involved in what had happened to his pet.I had given the order so yes, that would make me the most guilty in the matter but he and I were family

SEVENTEENAUDREYI don’t know how long I sat there, naked with my legs drawn up to my chest and my head bowed low as I thought about how the fuck I had allowed myself to be so seduced.I don’t know how long I slept before I woke up in a cold sweat, my heart pounding furiously in my chest as my eyes took a sweep round the room.It wasn’t a dream… not a nightmare either, I thought as the memories flooded back; memories of my own shame.I buried my face in my hands and berated myself for my stupidity.How could I have been so blind? The truth had been staring at me in the face but I had been so fucking stupid and horny.I had hoped that he loved me but how could a man… I should have figured out immediately he started paying special attention to me that there was something wrong. I had let myself be seduced by his smooth words and charming demeanor, never once suspecting that he was the same man who had caused so much pain and suffering in my family.Now, as I sat in the dimly-lit cabin,

SIXTEENALEJANDROShe remained sitting, her arms folded across her chest and her eyes pinned somewhere above my head. She had her mouth in a thin line and was trying not to look in my direction even as I stared pointedly at her.My cock twitched as I pinned her with a glare, my mouth also set in a grim line. She wasn’t supposed to have heard about what Sergio and I had talked about; I wanted to do this my own way but oh well… it was what it was.I pushed back from the wall I was standing, twirling the knife she had almost used to stab me in my hand; the very same that her brother in law and my cousin had marked me with.I could feel the rage spinning in my chest and welcomed it, allowing it fuel me as I approached her until she had no choice but to look up at me.She was glaring, her eyes twinkling with distaste and disgust, two emotions which were so foreign to her countenance and person…As foreign as the scar on my face, I musedI wanted to think that I knew her but she was the ene

FIFTEENAUDREYI heard him climb out of the bed and muttered my protest as he carried the whole heat of his presence with him. I had had sex before, with a boy my age and in the house of my papa where we had to be quiet and afraid as we did the deed.It was the last time that I had allowed anyone of the opposite gender touch me until Victor. He was everything I envisioned powerful lovemaking to be and we had continued well into the night in as many positions as I could imagine.My eyes fluttered open as I sighed deeply and contentedly, stretching and wincing at the sore I felt in between my legs. I sat up slowly, rubbing the sleep away from my eyes as I stared around the room, taking in its appearance. I was fascinated by the way he had designed it and although I considered it really odd to have whips of various sizes strung to the wall and…I scampered out of the bed, reaching for the knife that was hung at the far end of the room. It had a very peculiar hilt and it was somewhat curv

FOURTEENALEJANDROShe looked like an angel sleeping there with her hair thrown back and her mouth slightly agape but it was not watching her that kept me awake; it was the energy thrumming through my body in waves and I wanted to tell myself that she hadn’t just touched something within me that had died with my torture but it was impossible not to feel everything she had given me and everything I had not returned.I smiled as she sighed, snuggling in closer to me and my arm involuntarily locking around her waist; she was beautiful and so innocent in many ways.I frowned hoping the hurt in my chest was because I hadn’t eaten in a while and was quite hungry and not because I was feeling sorry for what I was about to do to her. She needed no pity from me after all I had to endure from Andres and because of her sister; I wanted her to get the same equal measure of punishment and I wanted to break her so bad that she would never be able to smile ever again.As if on cue, her lips curved i

I was hit by the intensity of this kiss and clung to him to steady myself against the onslaught of heat pooling in my belly.He tasted like absolute sin and the danger I had been trying all my life to run away from but I was com

I watched her eyes widen in surprise and then amusement as she placed one hand in mine and allowed me drag her up so we were inclined against one another.I twirled her first before placing my hand on the small on her back and guiding her through the steps while she laughed.She was stunning; absolutely and deliciously stunnin

ELEVENAUDREYI was giddy with excitement and then terrified that I was giddy with excitement.How could I be excited that I was about to have sex with some man that I barely knew; I had no idea who he was and if he was even who he said he wasIt is just sex, I had tried to reassure myself and it could never be more, I had said but the shivers my body was making and the war that had been raging at the pit of my belly for the whole day was saying otherwise.Not even Valerie’s reassuring words was helping the terror and nervousness threatening to overwhelm me. The last intimacy I had had with a man was with Bruno and it hadn’t been as earth shattering as Valerie always described her rounds of sex with men.It had been something between two people that were scared of being apart and it had been done under my father’s roof with the fear of being caught overruling the passion and pleasure of the moment.There was also the case about an orgasm; I had no idea what that was like and I would h
