THE REMARRIED HEIRESS 15
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

CATALINAI groaned as I messed up my hair; fury and patience erupted while I frowned at my laptop, trying to figure out the correct password for this goddamn flash drive.His birthday, the day he was hired, my father’s birthday and the day he died, my birthday, and the birth of the company. None of them is the correct password, and it’s making me mad.Uncle Mondo gave me too much work. I don't even know if the information inside will help me in this situation. “Hey!”I glare at the person who just barged into my office, planning to ruin my day completely.“What?”“I’m hungry.” Ralph pouted and slammed his body on the couch.“So?”“Let’s eat!”I firmly closed my eyes, completely annoyed just seeing how hyper he was. He seemed not busy and I envied his freedom to do what he wanted.“We weren’t close enough to have meals together.”“But Dante is not here!”“Can you tone down?” I glance at Daisy when I hear her munching on something. She’s secretly eating chips. “Eat with Daisy.”Daisy c

CATALINA The next morning, Dante did not join me for breakfast while Ralph was busy with his beloved workout. When I arrived at the company, I saw Dante coming out of the cafeteria with his coffee.He skipped coffee at home because he likes the coffee here?“Dante!” He gazed at me but looked away and continued walking to the elevator. “Why are you ignoring me?”However, he remained silent as if I were just a mere dust in the air.“Did I make you upset? What did I do?” With big strides, I block his way. “Don't be such a child.”He halted in his tracks and turned to me with a tense jaw. I think I really made him furious this time.“Child? And now you're comparing me to a child?” He firmly stated.“It’s not like that–”“I won’t be home tonight.”He walked past me and entered the elevator.“What? Why? Ralph is in your house– Dante!” I didn't get a chance to ride the elevator because he already closed it with a glare shot at me.He’s so immature!I didn't mean to say– yeah, I did really m

CATALINA“W-What—”“Now I know why my cousin married you despite the scandal under your name, Catalina.” He winked, which sent shivers down my spine.Ralph Muller, Dante’s cousin, is a well-known fashion model and entrepreneur. He owned the clothing line RaMu, a luxury brand in Italy.I rolled my eyes and ignored him. He’s known for being an asshole but despite his awful nickname and scandals, his business is still running and thriving.“You're probably good in bed–” I walk past him, but he grabs my arm, causing me to stop. “I’m still talking, babe.”“Let go.” I scowl at him.A playful smirk formed on his lips. “Don't wanna.”“I said, ‘Let go.’”He shook his head. “I said, ‘don't wanna–’”“You heard her, asshole.” It’s Dante's threatening voice at the door, wearing a cold gaze towards Ralph.Ralph immediately let go of me and excitedly sprinted to Dante.“Hey, bro! Long time no see–”“Where the fuck are your pants?!”I face the wall as I drink water from my tumbler, feigning ignoranc

CATALINAWhy do people close to me die?My dad, my baby, and now Uncle Mondo. I noticed that there was something wrong with him. I should have asked him more about what his problem was. I could have helped him, and this wouldn't have happened. The police officer came back to his seat after giving me a glass of water. I’m only in my pajamas inside the police station while silently digesting the truth in my head “So, you met him two nights ago at 9:20. What’s the reason behind that?”My fingers fidgeted at the hem of my clothes, anxious at his interrogation. I’m afraid this murder will also put me in jeopardy, and history will repeat itself. “H-He just wanted to know… how I’m doing.”“That’s it?”I nodded while not meeting his eyes. “Yeah.”I just can't tell him everything about our conversation, right? We talked about Dante, and if I mentioned his name, I'm afraid he might get involved again because of me.“I think you're lying, Mrs. Marcellos.”His comment made me bite my lip. I

CATALINA“Where were you, Lina?”His voice was calm but firm as he stared at me intently while his hands were in his pocket pants. He doesn't seem angry but more curious.I fidgeted in my seat. “I… I met a friend.”“Why did you have to sneak out?”I bit my lip as I looked down. “Because you won't let me out.”“It won't hurt you to ask me first, right?”“I’m sorry. I won’t do it again.”He exhaled deeply. “You also said that last time,” I shut my eyes as he got on one knee right in front of me. “If you sneak out again… A punishment will do.”Dante only gives me a warning before letting me off to my room. I was confused as to why he did not get mad, unlike the last time. But that's much better than being reprimanded the way he should be.‘He was only using you’I’m not sure in what way Dante was using me. I have nothing, so what does he want to take from me? I will be your puppet, Dante, as long as I benefit from it. I will use him as much as he wants to use me.The next morning, as so

CATALINA I cut off Dante’s stares at me and saw James shooting glares at Dante. He jeered at him and locked eyes with mine. I tilted my head as my brow raised, wondering why he looked annoyed by Dante’s presence.“Now, back off,” Dante warned him.We headed to the counter to pay for my things and went straight to the parking lot. Dante drove the car while the bodyguards followed us behind.I noticed Dante’s silence as he focused on the road ahead. Is he angry? “Why did you talk to him?”My brow raised in confusion at his query. He’s talking about James.“He just came out of nowhere with her bitch mistress.” “Why are you calling her mistress?”“Because she is.”“You are not married to that guy anymore. So don't call her mistress.” I can sense anger in his tone.I frowned at him. “Are you siding with her?”“Why would you think that way?”“You're defending her–”“Christ! I am not defending her, Lina. I just don't want you to think that James is still your husband and Fiona is the mist
THE REMARRIED HEIRESS 25
CATALINAI couldn't get over Dante’s sweet forehead kiss. That's why I had trouble sleeping last night as well. The chamomile tea lost its effectiveness as soon as I felt Dante’s warm lips– enough!It’s just a forehead kiss, but why am I bothered? I harshly throw a sanitary pad in my shopping cart and catch a glance at my bodyguard attentively watching our surroundings. They surrounded me wearing that black suit as if they were in a James Bond shoot while I tried my best to cover my face. Not because I’m embarrassed to have six bodyguards, but because I have to be cautious around.I’m afraid eggs are flying everywhere again, and this time inside the supermarket.I have to buy a sanitary pad and avoid Dante as well. It’s the weekend, so there’s no work for me but I don’t know about him. He’s a workaholic CEO, though.As I was done collecting some sanitary pads, I walked past a shelf and saw chamomile tea in boxes.The forehead kiss of Dante again.This is not good. I’m starting to dis

CATALINAI stormed into Dante’s office with a frown. He simply glanced at me before turning back to his papers. With annoyance, I throw my body on his couch, trying to calm my breathing.When I arrived back in the office earlier, I immediately ran off when I heard Yvette throwing something and screaming inside her room. I heard something crash before completely closing the door, probably a poor vase pitifully turned into small pieces on the floor.How can I go back to my table and work normally if that’s the scenario every day?Poor me.“I need more bodyguards. She’s going to kill me any moment now.”“Who?”“Yvette Larsen.” I gritted my teeth as I gazed at him.I’m sure Yvette was killing me in her head now. “She just doesn’t want to take a risk.”Dante’s simple comment made my blood boil in a red alert.“While I can? Is that why you threw this to me? To make me suffer? Dante! I don't know anything about your business! I only said that it's better to expand into a new market!”“I wan

CATALINAI gripped my phone tightly, repeating his statement in my head over and over again, baffled by his suspicion of Dante.“Out of all people, why him? Why not James? Because he is thirsty for our wealth. Why not Fiona? Because she is envious and wants to take my place. Why not them?” Uncle Mondo became quiet. “And why not you? Because you're the closest to him.”He scoffed, feeling offended. “You’re suspecting me, Catalina.”“I’m sorry, I can’t help it. I have a lot of whys, and you are included in them.”Instead of getting an answer, he ended the call without a word.My suspicion of him starts growing deeper to the point I’m so eager to find the answers to my father’s death. There’s a foul. It’s obvious.***“You didn't sleep well?” Dante suddenly asked inside the elevator.“Hmm.”“Why?”“Insomnia.” I simply responded.The thought that Dante and Uncle Mondo were involved in my father’s death haunted me last night. I couldn't sleep thinking about why this was happening.James, F
