CATALINA

The woman arched her brow as soon as she was done running her eyes from my head to toe. She had a burnished complexion, moon shadow-black straight hair, constellation blue eyes, a pointy nose with a straight bridge and narrow nostrils, and heart-shaped lips. The elegance and confidence exude within her.

I admit. She’s pretty. And intimidating.

She stood up with an exasperated sigh, wearing her neutral-tailored dress with a jacket as if she had just come from work.

“What are you doing here unannounced?”

I was startled by Dante’s deep voice behind me.

“Are you fucking serious right now?!”

I flinched at her sudden outburst. Even her voice was giving me that lady boss vibe, scolding an employee because he showed up at work two seconds late.

“Mind your words,” Dante calmly warned her.

Should I leave and give them privacy?

“So, it’s true. You are married.” The woman looked at me with disgust in her eyes. “And with her?”

“Not here.” Dante walked past me, followed by the woman after

    CATALINA“Here’s your table.” As soon as Dante left, Yvette led me to my table. A computer set rested on a brown-black corner desk with metal legs and a simple swivel chair. I looked around and saw the table of her secretary on the opposite side, who didn't give a shit about us.“You will be my assistant starting today.”My ears perked up. “Assistant?”“Yeah, something wrong with that?”I mustered a strained smile. “Nothing.” And turn my back on her to sit on my chair.“Good luck,” She said full of sarcasm and entered the door opposite the entrance. That must be her own office.“That doesn't sound sincere,” I said under my breath.‘A word with you at lunch’I texted Dante as I was annoyed that I had to work with Yvette. I don't like her attitude.I leaned my back into the chair and cranked my neck hard over. I could see the sky from the office window behind me, deft blue and cloudless and so bright it looked solid. Okay, what should I do on my first day?A document suddenly hit my

    CATALINA“M-Mr. Ma-Marcellos…” Mr. Brown stuttered in panic.I gazed over the transparent window and saw the employees in the planning department frozen in their respective seats, too afraid to look in our direction and being mindful of their actions.“It’s almost lunch, and you're still here,” Dante said calmly, opposite to how his eyes darted on Mr. Brown alone.I don't know who he said that to, but when he looked down at me, I realized that statement was meant for me.“There’s nothing I can do. I have to wait until it’s my turn.” I showed him the document.He might have heard that I’m slacking off for an hour. Probably from Yvette Larsen.“M-Madam–”“What is that?” Dante cut off Mr. Brown’s words.“Ms. Larsen’s secretary said, this needed to double-check right now–” I was startled when Dante snatched the document from me and tossed it to Mr. Brown. Gladly, he catches it.“That is from the CSO.” Dante’s stern, cold tone made Mr. Brown swallowed his courage.“Y-Yes, I-I know–”“Then

    CATALINAI almost choked my own neck at his words. They were planning a wedding but Dante married me in the end? What kind of drama is this?“Did I just shamelessly ruin an engagement?”He chuckled at how my eyes widened in horror. I just really don't know how to face Yvetter after this. She has the right to get mad at me.“No, we were forced to be in that kind of relationship.” His words made me calm down a bit. “Her father is the COO of my company. My father trusted him and had this agreement with Uncle Roland when we were ten.”Arranged marriage? That’s so old generation. “But… are they okay… with our…” I trailed off.“They don't have a choice. This is my life, and no one should question my decisions.”“Given that she’s your ex-fiancee, you shouldn't have brought us closer.”His eyes narrowed at me. “Why?”“It's like she has a grudge against me.”“Did she hurt you?” “No. She just has an attitude.”I leaned my back in my chair, looking around. Not just her, but most of Dante’s em

    CATALINAI sat on my chair, bothered by what I saw. Why did Dante lie that they did not have a thing?That question keeps running in my head. He can be honest with me. I mean, I don't care if they have a relationship. In the first place, it was me who ruined their engagement.Should I apologize to Yvette?I bit my bottom lip while messing up my hair. I immediately sat straight when the door suddenly opened. Yvette walks with big strides to my table, a frown plastered on her face.“Where is it?!” She shouted angrily.I was confused for a second, but when I saw the document from Mr. Brown on my table, I pointed my finger at it. She harshly took the document and slammed her door closed. Jess, Yvette’s secretary, and I flinched at her awful temper.Isn't Dante not a good kisser?My phone suddenly rang. Dante is calling.“My secretary saw you at my door earlier.”My eyes widened at Yvette’s office door. She’s angry because I interrupted their kissing scene.“A-Ah! I was… I was only stroll

    CATALINA “Detained them all.”I heard Dante sternly commanding someone. Dante saved me again. He’s no prince but a knight in a shining, expensive three-piece suit.The engine started, and that’s the time I took his coat off me. I looked so messed up and just wanted to hide from Dante’s sight.I felt Dante’s hand on my cheek while the other was wiping my hair and face with his handkerchief. I couldn't meet his eyes. I'm more ashamed that this happened inside his premises.“Are you okay?”“I'm not.” I faintly mumbled.“I'm sorry–”“It's not your fault.” With a sigh, I tried to take the handkerchief from him, but he wouldn't let me. He continued cleaning my hair while removing some eggshells.“I told you to wait in your office, right?” He sounded irritated, but he kept his tone down.“If only I had known I would be bathed in eggs, I would have listened to you.”When we arrived home, I immediately cleaned myself. I smell gross. I walked back to my room once I was done bathing but was

    CATALINA The hallway filled with silence after the brunette dared to yell at her boss’s face in front of his employees. I’m the subject AGAIN.Aren't they tired of it? I’m not trying to fit into their daily lives. I’m not forcing them to like me and respect me because I’m their boss’s wife. After all, I don't give a damn thing about them.“Did you just raise your voice on me?” His brow puckered with annoyance. I push back my hair off my forehead with annoyance as well. I knew Dante and I were both tired of this.“We understand that you picked an ex-convict as your wife, but dragging her inside the company we work for was really out of the line–”“Miss, it's you who's out of the line here.” He chuckled, but his eyes darkened to the brunette woman. Yeah, she’s brave enough to command the owner of the company who pays her bills every month. “Who are you to judge my decision?” He took a step towards the woman. “Tell me. I’m listening.”The woman remained silent as she looked down, fi

    CATALINA“What were you thinking?! You promised not to go out without me!”Dante’s rage erupted as soon as I arrived home with my bodyguards. His hair was disheveled, his necktie loosened, and his eyes darkened into mine. He’s furious and I know I deserve to be reprimanded.“Nothing serious happened,” I said calmly as I sat on the couch.“When will you listen then? When those fucking horrible things happen? When is it too late?”Why is he overreacting? I’m not chasing a criminal. It’s just Uncle Mondo, whom I’ve known and trusted more than myself for years.“I said nothing horrible things happe–”“What if he's dangerous?”“He's not.” I firmly muttered with annoyance.How can he be so sure that Uncle Mondo is dangerous? He doesn’t know him, does he?Dante narrowed his eyes on me, and I felt a tingling sensation in my toes at the way he was sending me those chilling glares.He’s really scary, especially since I'm the one who's wrong here.“He ran away, Lina. Why was he sneaking into my

    CATALINAHis remarks stiffened my whole body. I could feel my heartbeat in my head, deafened by the loud pounding, and I didn't know if I had heard Dante’s words wrong.“Y-You what?”“She confessed, but I can't accept her love.” My brows furrowed at him. “She then committed suicide the next day,” He said in a low voice.A sigh of relief escapes from me upon hearing his explanation. I run my hand on my chest, trying to calm my heart.I really thought… he literally killed her. As in murdered, assassinated, or executed her, removing her presence in this world without anyone’s knowledge.However, I realized something about what he said.“She made her choice, so you are not at fault, Dante. Don't blame yourself.” “That’s what everyone said, but the guilt… remains.” I can see his struggles in his eyes, a deep pain and sorrow. He's been hiding his emotions throughout these years.If he was guilty, why was he keeping her picture inside his comfort space?“Hide this, then.” I was about to put

    CATALINADante strode inside the station, joining us in the unpleasant scenario. I'm more ashamed that he always witnessed this kind of event and I'm always involved, not even respecting his name in public.Dante walked past James as if he were just one of the polluted air particles that he did not care about at all. I looked away when he reached me and ran his fingers through my hair.“Don't provoke him,” he whispered, which made me look up at him. “I'm afraid he won't think twice to really harm you.”I know he won't hurt me. Not inside the police station. He would be dumb if he did that.I nodded without a word. He sighs deeply and turns to the man who puts Fiona inside the cell. “I'm the complainant.”“You put her in that filthy place?!” James exclaimed. So, he really thinks I made this to his beloved Fiona? Wow! He's really something.“Yeah, got a problem with that?” Dante arrogantly responded.“You arrogant asshole!”My brows furrowed. “Are you referring to yourself?”“Don't i

    CATALINA“Whose land are you claiming again, sweetie?”I got Fiona’s attention. Her nose flared, her teeth gritted, and her eyes were burning with rage as soon as they landed on mine.“YOU!” She growled. “Me?” I pointed at myself innocently. “Ah, indeed. You claimed my father’s properties–”“YOU DID THIS! LET ME OUT OF HERE!”Dragging the stool I found in the corner, I purposely sat in front of her, three meters away from her cell. Crossing my legs, I release a smirk, making her even more annoyed.“Accusing someone without proof is a crime.” “I’M NOT ACCUSING YOU! I’M TELLING THE TRUTH, YOU BITCH!”She aggressively shook the steel bars, creating an unpleasant noise that made me roll my eyes. I didn't know that she was capable of acting so wild in public. Isn't she ashamed of these men, watching her with displeasure in their eyes?But anyway, it's in her nature, so I should get used to it. Maybe I can play with her so I won't get bored while waiting for the captain's return.“You an

    CATALINAI had a terrible headache when I came back to consciousness. Touching my head, I groan and flatten down on the bed. Yvette and I seemed to be having more fun than I thought, based on how my head was pounding in pain. I didn't know she was a heavier drinker than I was.“You're awake.”As soon as I opened my eyes, Dante's broad back, wearing a three-piece suit, greeted me first thing in the morning. He turned to me while tying his necktie.Confusion filled my head. “W-What… What are you doing here?”“As far as I know, this is my home.”H-Home? I looked around and recognized the familiar bedroom of Dante.As far as I remember, I'm with Yvette in Mexico City. Hola! A huevo! Tengo resaca!(Hello! Hell yeah! I have a hangover!)“Was that a dream?” I blurted out.He scoffed and turned his back on me. “Getting drunk in Mexico City with Yvette was not a dream.” I slowly rise from the bed, leaning my back against the headboard. I'm trying to remember when Dante showed up. I couldn't

    CATALINA Yvette clinked her wine glass with my bottle. She did it clumsily, causing some liquid to spill into her hand. Instead of getting annoyed, we laughed like madwomen. “Oh? Really? That's ridiculous!” I slapped her arm.She’s complaining about Dante giving her too much work, but she does not complain because she likes it when Dante talks to her about work.Yeah, I also don't understand her and just laugh it out.I swallowed down the remaining wine in my bottle, but she slapped my arm, and some wine spilled on my clothes.“I know, right!”The room filled with laughter between Yvette and me.I wiped my mouth and sat properly while pointing at her. “You… why… here?” I don't know why I can't find my words, but I want to ask why she stayed working with Dante.She shrugged and exclaimed, “Dante!”“Where?”Panicked, I looked around, but I couldn't find the frown face of that gorgeous creature, except Abby, who was looking at us as if we were messed up drunkards in the street.“Hate…

    CATALINA“No. He will kill me.”Ralph's firm remarks echoed in my head.I arched my brow. “You should think of me killing you first.”“He's scarier than you!”“I know, but…” I rolled my eyes as I didn’t know what to say next.“Are you not scared of him?”His query made me scoff. “I am, but…” but I am eager to find that asshole.Ralph raises his hands in the air as if surrendering from this conversation. “The end.” I only let out a deep sigh, annoyed by choosing this guy over someone else to ask for help. Well, I have no one else, and obviously, he's the only one in my contact list that I can approach about this. I thought he was reliable.Frustrated, I snatched Ralph’s iced tea, which he was about to drink. I paid for this, though.He rolled his eyes and crossed his arms, leaning his back on his chair, and did not fight back to save his iced tea from me.I glance at my phone on the table. Dante hasn't left any messages. What would I expect? He will say sorry and agree to my request

    CATALINA “Ma'am, we have to go back.” A trace of tension can be heard in Abby's voice. She showed me her phone, where Dante’s name was plastered on the screen. He’s calling me nonstop as well, but I totally ignored it and ended up turning off my phone.I looked away as I leaned back in my seat, patiently seated here at the station, waiting for the captain to return from their job.“Ignore him.”“But–” “Abby, I want to know who that guy is and what he means by ‘he was paid to hurt me.’ The guy who tried to harm me was dead in England. Then who was that earlier?” I snatch her phone and turn it off. “I'm going to wait for those officers to come back.”I won't leave without knowing who that f*cking man is. If he has done something bad to me before, at least I should know about it. Abby did not argue with me anymore, but one of the bodyguards' phones started ringing. He looked at me after checking who was calling. I know for sure that was Dante.“Don't you dare answer it.”“They will

    CATALINAThe sun beat down relentlessly as I got out of the car. I was an hour late for work because Dante did not wake me up. As soon as I arrived in his office, the happenings from yesterday flashed through my mind for a second. Damn, it made me feel hot all of a sudden.I cleared my throat when Dante raised his gaze at me. “What's the update about the intruder?” I asked as I stood in front of his table, where he completely devoured my–“Why are you asking?”I cleared my throat and tried to focus on my real intention in barging into his office.“I just want to know. I'm the victim here.” “He's in jail,” he said, uninterested.I fidgeted with my fingers behind me, annoyed that it seemed he was not even worried. “Really? Which jail?”He suddenly halted signing the paper and paused for a few seconds before letting out a deep sigh.“You can't meet him.” He stood up and exited his office.I followed him like a puppy. “Why?”“Police protocols.”He handed a document to his secretary i

    CATALINA I turned back on the machine as I closed the door. I know I won't hurt any civilians because both sides of the road are closed. Some of the officers tried to stop me, but I only ran over them, causing them to step aside and watch me move in Fiona’s direction.It amazes me that she did not move an inch and instead sent me those piercing glares.“NO!” She angrily screamed.No?With a sigh, I pulled the left lever up to extend the dipper away from me and was about to move the bucket, but I stopped.Not the pretty building. A familiar pink Porsche parked beside her building caught my attention. Seeing that car made me sick. Instead of aiming at her building, I turned the machine, and without warning, I lowered the bucket to the car, crashing the roof of her poor Porsche. “MY CAR!” Fiona cried out.“Silly! That's not even yours. My dad bought that with his own money, duh!”“I'M GOING TO SUE YOU!”Jeez! She's so loud.I move the machine again and this time, I’m aiming at her. He

    CATALINA“B-But we were in the office–Ahh!” I immediately covered my mouth and threw back my head as he devoured my flesh down there without warning. He splits my legs even more before throwing both my legs over his shoulders to get easy access to my bud.I was already breathing heavily while biting my lip, refraining from creating a noise. Anxiety and pleasure collided in me. I didn't expect him to do this in his office. I arch my back and grip the desk when his tongue licks my sensitive spot with soft devotion. “Ahh, shit…”As his tongue split my slit and worked past my pussy's throbbing hole up to the knob of my clit, I moaned in excitement and grabbed the back of his head, pulling him deeper into my pussy. He stops in my clit, and flicks it a couple of times with his tongue and sucks on it. Never once did he stop flicking it with his tongue. Now I'm excited, and moans escalate in the whole room.“God, Dante!” He knew where the right spot was.My nails dug into his head as I tr
