THE REMARRIED HEIRESS 28
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“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

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

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“It’s gone.” The articles about Ralph and me were gone. Dante must have taken care of it.With a sigh, I looked out the window. After the news broke out, I was heading home earlier than I thought. Ralph's friend said he would return the flash drive tomorrow. On the other hand, Ralph didn't seem bothered by the scandal. Or maybe he was the one who took care of the articles. He’s good at that every time a scandal about him surfaces in the public eye.As soon as I arrived home, I walked to my room but stopped when I saw Dante in his room with his bare back facing me. I’m not surprised to see his naked back, but I’m more concerned about the wound on his arm. It seems he was done bandaging his arm.“Isn't your wound healed yet?”He stopped for a second before putting on a shirt. I caught a glimpse of his trash can near his feet, but Dante closed the lid and pushed it to the corner.It’s not a small wound. I saw the old bandage had plenty of blood.What really happened to his ar

CATALINA“GO!”I hit the gas in panic as soon as I heard Abby screaming her heart out, leaving them exchanging bullets. My heart hammered in my chest and my eyes went wild as they tried to find a way out—away from the curtain of death. I felt like I was deafened by their incessant gunfire.A cursed escape from me when I nearly ran into an electric pole. With trembling hands, I managed to hastily turn the steering wheel, but instead, I almost crashed into a black SUV that came out of nowhere.He’s blocking my way–!All of a sudden, another car collided with the black SUV. Everything happened so fast that I found myself curling down in my seat, covering my head in fear, not knowing what to do anymore or how to protect myself. F*CK! WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE WORLD?!Suddenly, the surroundings became silent. I couldn't hear anything except the violent heartbeat in my head while catching my heavy breathing. My whole body was trembling in a state of shock, but I still managed to lift my hea

CATALINA“The expansion in China has now been canceled. Let’s stick with Yvette’s plan,” Dante stated before getting out of the car and going inside the house.But I couldn't move an inch inside the car.How can I accept the fact that Dad was involved in a criminal organization? So, the articles about Uncle Mondo getting involved in drugs and smuggling illegal firearms were all true.If this is proven, it will be the end of the company.What’s the point of taking it back? How can I save the company if that kind of problem surfaces?I messed my hair, angry at myself and at my dad, who got into this kind of trouble before passing. Wait… the Chinese only want the flash drive because they don't want to be exposed in public. But they feel threatened if someone else has the flash drive. Because they will use it for their own benefit and might ruin the Triads.So, let's just give the flash drive back to them? I think that's the only solution here.I ran inside the house to look for Dante. I

CATALINAAfter a few minutes, the door in the back seat opened and a familiar scent spread in the air throughout the car. He and Dad have a similar scent, which made me remember Dad in him.He sat next to me with a weary sigh. “You don't look good,” I started as I stared at his tired eyes.He avoided my gaze with a clenched jaw. I smirk at how miserable he looks right now. I don't blame him for choosing the wrong person to trust but at least he has a bit of shame for meeting me just because I mentioned the debt with Dante.“You said you can persuade Dante.”“Hmm… But what can I get if I do that?”His eyes narrowed on me. “What?”“I'm bargaining, Mr. Langley.”“I don't have anything to offer you. Just think you are helping your father’s company–”I snorted with laughter at his words. “Really? Coming from you? After you chastised me out?” I clapped, giving him an amused look. “The nerve you have.”“I'm sorry about the past. I was blinded by the rumor–”“And you believed them.” My smil

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
