THE REMARRIED HEIRESS 19
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 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

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 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

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

CATALINAShould I listen to my brain, screaming to press the button out of curiosity, or should I believe my anxious heart not to do anything, afraid that something dangerous might erupt out of nowhere?Instead, I carefully followed the wire of the lamp and it led me to the wall behind the bedside table. A hole in the wall was connected to something in another room. I ran to the other side. It's the library and there's nothing on this side of the wall. There's no hole. Only a plain, dusty, dirty white wall.Confused, I knocked on the wall and was surprised that the wall there was not concrete. It seems like wood or something. Plywood? I continued knocking while pressing my ears to hear something until I could hear something fall on the floor.Dashing out of the library, I entered the bedroom again and didn't see anything on the floor except the book and the shattered glass of the lamp.There’s a hidden room between the bedroom and the library. Running my hands on the wall, I find a r

CATALINAI was quiet the whole flight back to New York. Yvette was freaking out while calling Dante. There was an emergency about the expansion in Mexico.I didn't know what the problem was because my mind was occupied with what Mrs. Yu had said.She successfully messed up my mind without effort, except by wasting the helicopter gasoline and flying to the Isle of Marci just to spout things.I don't know what to believe, but she slowly convinces me to open the flash drive when we get back home.As soon as we arrived home, with big strides, I headed inside the house.“Lina,” Dante called after being busy with his phone and laptop for hours.He followed me behind, looking like a puppy, scared at my silence the whole time. He didn't get a chance to talk to me after Mrs. Yu left because of the problem in the company.I felt his hand wrapped around my arm, gently pulling me to him.“What did she say?”I shoved his hand and shook my head. “Nothing.”With a sigh, I reach the stairs, but Dante

CATALINA“You're my niece, Cat.” Her face brightened, opposite to mine. “Biological niece.” “Shut up! Neither of my parents has siblings.”My hands curled into fists as I sneered at her. I know better than anyone else that my parents are both only children. “Your mother is my biological sister.”I scoffed, annoyed at her continued lies. “Why are you making up stories?”“I am not making up stories and if you want proof, I will give it to you as soon as we get back to New York.”“I’m not a fool to believe you.”I turned my back on her, leaving her completely, as she was only wasting my time with her dramatic bluff stories.“Dante knows about it.” I halted in my tracks. “He knew very well that you and I are blood-related.”My intense gaze meets Dante’s scowl. He leaned on the wall, hiding his hands inside his trousers pockets. His gaze didn't leave mine.Was it true? Based on how he doesn't want me to talk, meet, or even just get near Mrs. Yu, I think this woman is indeed telling the

CATALINAI woke up a little before Dante, watching him sleep softly beside me. His breathing hitched for a moment, and he grumbled something, falling back into his dreamland. A smile crept on my lips upon remembering how he said those words. I saw the blanket above his crotch create a small lump. What is he dreaming that made his manhood erect like that? Our sex on the beach yesterday?With a sly smile, I slid myself under the blanket, slowly slipping off his boxers and wrapping my mouth around his morning wood. Just greeting him with a ‘good morning.’I feel him shift, and the blanket is moved from over me. I look up and have eye-to-eye contact with Dante."Good morning to you too..." He says, smiling and lifting his head to get a good look at me. I reach up, my fingertips against his forehead, and push him back down to his pillow. He moaned as I continued my tongue, tracing every part of his skin. I sucked gingerly and began to feel the pulse come through him."Lina..." He whisp

CATALINAWhat if someone saw us?Before I could even react, he took off my shirt and pulled down my shorts together with my panties while I worked with my bra.I realized he didn't care about throwing away all of my hesitations. I reached his neck, pulling and kissing him back with all the force I could muster. He tasted like the ocean, salty but sweet. Our tongues tangled in a lovely dance, his hands roaming all over my body. He kissed down my cheek until he reached my neck. The tender brush of his lips and his hot breath drove me insane. Burning as they make contact with my neck. His hand ran through my hair as the kisses became harder and more urgent."Ahhh..." A moan escapes from my mouth.His other hand slides around my waist and pulls me close to him. He feathered kisses on my shoulders and in my hair. It was slow and soft, comforting in ways that words would never be.Our breaths mingled and I ran my fingers down his spine, pulling him closer until there was no space left bet

CATALINA “If you insist,” was the one thing I said.A small laugh escaped from him as he pinched my nose with his dirty hand.“Hey!” I run my hands full of mud on his cheeks with a mischievous smile. He didn't resist and just looked at me with eyes full of joy. He wants to build a family with me. We're married legally, so why not?It's not about taking over the company but… I find peace in Dante’s arms. I felt love and security that I thought I couldn't feel in another man.I distanced my face from him when he attempted to lean his face towards me. He scratched his head with a frown on his face.“We need to get cleaned.” He mumbled.No, he just wants to kiss me.I laugh with my own thoughts.We helped each other pull up every time we fell back into the mud. It took us almost five minutes before we finally reached the ground where we could freely walk without hindrance.I just laugh at the frowning face of Dante as he catches his breath. He started this and now he was pissed.“You w

CATALINA “What’s the name of the island?” I curiously asked as Abby and I paved the beautiful and comfortable road heading to the school.According to her, it's a walking distance from the village.“Isle of Marci.”Isle of Marci. Coming from Dante’s family name.I inhaled the cool air that gave me comfort. There is greenery everywhere, it’s so pure and fresh. Green paddy plants and colorful flowers blossomed around, bestowing scenic beauty to the road as if someone had spread colorful carpets alongside the road.“Is this island not exclusive for outsiders?” I raised my gaze and met the birds perched on the branches of trees, singing the chorus repeatedly over and over again.“This island is private and Mr. Marcellos has his own government. He ruled the community here, which has a population of almost a hundred individuals.”Basically, he’s the president and the king of his own island.“So this is not part of the United States of America?”I squatted to pluck a dried dandelion flower

CATALINAWe were greeted by the warm smiles of the children, who waved and jumped excitedly with joy as soon as they saw us. My heart leaped at the scenario when Dante got out of the car and the kids swarmed to Dante, giving him a leg hug.Dante’s wide smile, which I usually see, was plastered on his face.I didn't know he was warm to children. Familiar men ran to the car and helped me get out while some took out the tons of boxes in the following cars.Are they our bodyguards?The kids shyly greeted me with a ‘hi’ in unison when Dante introduced me to them. I also smiled shyly as I waved my hands. The adults around also give me a warm smile.Dante distributed the toys and school supplies to the kids. There are also groceries for the families. I attempted to help, but Dante wouldn't let me and just let me sit and watch while a woman gave me coconut juice in a real coconut.I sat on the wooden chair under the mango tree as I looked around, amazed at their simple life status here.With

CATALINA “I'M PREGNANT!!”The two words echoed in my head. Anger, confusion, and guilt welled up in me as I stared at Fiona, sobbing her heart out. I didn't know what to do, and without knowing, I lowered my gaze to her stomach.I stood up, fist clenching. My heart twisted in pain and my gaze softened. Before I could lash out at Fiona, Dante’s scent invaded the whole room. I felt his hands on my waist and thigh, lifting me in his arms, and we strode out of the room without a word.My mind went blank, my heart pain grew, and tears continued flowing down my face. I gripped Dante’s polo shirt tightly as I sobbed in silence.If… If I continued physically hurting her… She might have lost her child. And that made me no different from her, harming an innocent angel.Why does it have to be her?!***I woke up when my stomach grumbled. The sky was already pitch dark outside the window. Countless stars were blinking, shining brightly in the darkness. I was hoping one of them was my baby. A
