Katerina

We drive in silence for what feels forever until Alejandro pulls to a stop near something that pretty much reminds me of an old abandoned church. I tense immediately, because weren’t we headed home? Somehow I don’t like the complete darkness that surrounds us or the fact that I am completely alone with this vicious stranger in the middle of nowhere. Yet, I don’t say a word as he kills the engine and turning off all lights in the vehicle, turns to face me.

By instinct, I retract, sitting as further away from him as possible in the confined space we are in. My hand darts to the small pepper spray bottle at the keychain I carry everywhere with me, just in case and for some reason I can’t stop the rapid beating of my heart. Deep down I know it has nothing to do with any potential danger and everything to do with the man next to me. A man I despise with the same passion he despises me, but…

“Do you know that your father is buried in this cemetery?” Alejandro asks then, his voice

  • Claiming The Heiress   The One In Front Of Me

    “Well, good,” Katerina says with a smile. “Did you deal with our problem?”“It’s being handled.”“So, you are taking the day off too?”“I don’t take days off…”“Yet, I don’t see you working at the moment, señor,” she winks at me. She fucking winks and, god, I am so screwed. My eyes linger on her face, drinking in the way she lits up from within, how that smile of hers only spreads, my heart beating like crazy in my chest.And because I finally realise what I am doing, just sitting here with her on a random weekday, completely confused for no goddamn reason, I try and lift all the guards I have available. I am a damn fool. I should not be here, I should go back to the darkness of my own room and sleep it all off because what the fuck am I even doing? This woman is not for me, she’s my enemy and just because she’s beautiful and smart, and damn fearless, it doesn’t mean anything has changed between us.“I just wanted to inform you that the guard will be arriving some time next week. Unti

  • Claiming The Heiress   Hints

    By the time we are back at the mansion, I already have a plan in my head, one I am sure Katerina won’t like, but at this point I don’t give a shit. It’s time for me to get my head out of my ass and be as effective as my father taught me.The second she’s out of my sight, I head toward Pedro’s study, looking for the phone number of the private investigator who helped us some time ago when Sandoval had decided to try something like this again a few years ago. Fernando Martin picks up on the second ring, a greeting for my late father on his lips which quickly turns into condolences I don’t need anymore. I brief him about the problem and hand and ask him to send some private protection detail, because I can’t see how Katerina is going to fight with her noble causes with doom hanging above her head. I might be getting overprotective and really paranoid, but I can’t risk it. The entire time as I make the needed arrangements, I don’t even stop to think that I am working against myself now. I

  • Claiming The Heiress   Saving Helpless Damsels

    Katerina“So you didn’t notice the guy following us ever since we arrived?”“W-what?” I startle, loosing my gate, but Alejandro only holds me tighter, dragging me along.“Pretend you don’t know,” he says under his breath. “Nothing’s changed. You were going to meet your friend, right?”He’s correct, of course he is. And my ego might be bruised, but I do know when to admit defeat and regroup. I gather my composure quickly but I am ashamed of myself because I do so only because he’s here with me to keep me safe like I am some kind of a damsel in distress, or even more pathetic for the fact that I rely on someone who hates me to do so.We get to the church rather quickly and with no incidents, Alejandro closing the door behind us firmly as Manuel rushes to greet us. He looks different, I realise, taking him in with his dark priest clothes. There’s a sense of purpose around him, one that makes him look more mature, more confident. He’s still the same confused kid I met a few days ago, but

  • Claiming The Heiress   Alejandro Montener

    KaterinaI blink like a fool at him. “I am sorry, what?”“This place belongs to a friend of Sandoval. And bastards like me are not well received here.”“Because you are a… bastard?” I repeat like a fool, because what the hell is this supposed to mean? Who even cares about things like that?He doesn’t say anything else to explain as a waitress comes to take our orders. I order for him too because it’s obvious he’s not going to do it on his own, and soon we are left alone with a pitcher of cold water and two pristine glasses.I toss the menu to the side and lean into my chair, my eyes glued to the man in front of me. I take in his unruly dark hair, which is long enough that wary strands fall into his eyes, and his white shirt, barely buttoned at his chest, the contrast with his dark tanned skin too damn good to miss. white suits him, it makes his eyes even more glimmering, two charcoals on fire I just can’t ignore no matter what. They spark draws me and I am like a damn moth to a flame

  • Claiming The Heiress   Between Us Bastards

    Katerina I wait for Alejandro by the jeep and I don’t like it one bit that he stayed to talk with that sleazy cop after we left. Eva gives me a hug and goes meet with her new friend Patricia, reassuring me she’ll find someone to bring her back home later. “You’ve got your things with you, right?” I ask, meaning her own self-defence kit and she only nods and gives me a wink. “Have fun, girl,” she says as she walks away from me just in time as Alejandro approaches, his scowl even deeper now for some reason. “That was a really dangerous thing to do back there,” he snarls at me, eyes boring in me like they are about to eviscerate me or something. “You and your friend should be more careful when you threaten the local police. And how the hell do you know judge Maldonado?” “Rafael is a friend of mine,” I reply with a roll of my eyes. Because he is. The second Alejandro approached me, me and Eva found him and he agreed to help us prove if things are legit or not. We’ve been talking ever

  • Claiming The Heiress   With Women Like These

    Alejandro “I am sorry to interrupt, but are you going to have breakfast once you return?” Maria’s voice from the other end of the room breaks the moment and both me and Katerina step away from each other like we’ve been burned. Or caught doing something we shouldn’t. “We’ll have breakfast downtown, thank you,” Katerina replies sharply in Spanish, making Maria’s eyes widen a little. My aunt looks at me, a question in her dark eyes, but I avoid answering. “I need just a few minutes,” I tell Katerina and rush upstairs. And these are honestly the longest few minutes in my life. After the quickest shower in the history of showers, I find myself staring at my lacking wardrobe, feeling like a complete tool, because I have no idea what’s supposed to be decent enough to go to the town and match the casual way Katerina Eneva exerts elegance wherever she goes. I don’t even know why the hell I care how I look next to her, so I pin it to our rivalry, to the fact that I can’t, for the l
