CATALINA“D-Dante…”The hall turned silent; not even the orchestra dared to make a sound. So silent that I could hear a fork drop on the plate as everyone’s shocked eyes went back and forth between Fiona and Dante.I immediately looked at Dante’s face and saw how red his left cheek was. Damn! Why did he cover me? I was ready to catch Fiona’s hand before he thought of being my knight in shining armor again.I touched his reddish cheek, but I immediately withdrew my palm from his face when I glanced at his darkened eyes. His jaw clenched as he clicked his tongue with a smirk.Did the trouble I created tonight irritate him?I did not do this to him but…why did I feel guilty that he was now in an embarrassing situation that Fiona and I started?I slowly stepped aside but Dante held my waist to move me to his side.“It was my first time getting hit by a woman.”“She slapped and humiliated me first, Dante!” Fiona panicked.“Because you provoke her.” I bit my bottom lip when his hold aroun

CATALINAGomez Inc. is a multinational conglomerate holding company. It’s a company that my great-great-grandfather passed down to my Dad. And seeing the fruit of their hard work falling made me heartbroken. My conscience is hitting me harder than I thought. “Instead of…” I trailed off as I anxiously looked at Dante. “Instead of pulling them down…” His eyes locked on mine, waiting for my next words. “Why don’t we take over it?”I bit my tongue, hoping he got what I meant.He leaned back on his seat, crossing his arms with furrowed brows.Did he not like the idea? Should I convince him more?“Let’s take over the company and kick out the people who don’t deserve any position.” I leaned forward. “My father’s company might be a great advantage to you, Mr. Marcellos. Acquiring it will make you powerful and untouchable as the largest empire in the world–”“How about you?” I stopped at his query. “You said you would take everything from your ex-husband and ex-sister. If I acquire the compan

CATALINA“WAIT!” I sprinted to the elevator, but the door was already closed. I don't have any choice but to use the VIP elevator and press the first floor in a hurry. I need to talk to Uncle Mondo. I have a lot of things to ask him.I desperately looked around when I arrived on the first floor. But unfortunately, his presence is nowhere to be found. “Am I mistaken?” No, I'm not! It was definitely him!I gaze at the entrance. But before I could even step out of the building, four men in black blocked my way.Did I do something wrong?“You can't leave the building, Mrs. Marcellos.”Dante gave me bodyguards?I wandered my eyes outside, hoping to find someone familiar in the crowd, but there was no trace of Uncle Mondo anywhere. Was I really hallucinating, and maybe that man only looked like Uncle Mondo?Having those thoughts made me annoyed. It would have been easier to get in touch with him if I had my old cell phone. If my phone had been one of the things Fiona tossed out, Dante wo

CATALINAThe 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
