Catalina’s POV"I'm not…." I cried all the time in front of him. He told me in a loud voice, "Yes, you are! This is who I am!" "I'm sorry," I said, as tears slowly rolled down my face. "I can't believe you killed them for me...." "Catalina, you need to stop resisting this life and start living it. This is your choice!” Thaddeus said as he left me outside."T-Thaddeus wait…." Then, after a short time, he had already cleaned up the mess inside and burned the bodies. I just can't face him right now. I witnessed him slay those vampires; the dark blood on the floor made me want to throw up. I slowed down and took deep breaths while I thought about him. As I came across him in the kitchen drinking his daily sustenance, which consisted of the blood of an animal, I held my breath and bowed my head as I headed upstairs while being terrified of him. The next second, he suddenly stood in front of me and asked, "Do you want to eat something?" I slightly shook my head and gasped. "No, I'm n
Catalina’s POV"You invited her? for what?" Arthur asked with irritation, and I wanted to laugh out loud because I had just destroyed their party. Jessica glared at her son, "Don't raise your voice at me, Arthur. Get inside, and we can talk about it!" Then Jessica glanced at me, her expression smoothened. "Oh dear, I will just leave you here, okay?" Thaddeus, hold my hand while we find a seat for us, I murmured with a smile. "I just messed up their evening." "Catalina, they are all angry at you. Be careful." Thaddeus said. The waiter came over and brought us each a glass of wine. I grinned at him since it was Peter, who had worked for our family for many years. "I was worried that something bad had happened to you, Miss Catalina." "Peter, nothing unpleasant ever happened to me." I gave him a kind smile and then tapped his shoulder.He asked, "Do you still want to run your dad's company?" I nodded and said, "Well, I was going to sell it." He looked shocked, and his eyes got bigg
Catalina’s POV"No," he responded in a calm voice, and he sped up the car. I swallowed uneasily since I had promised Thaddeus's clan that no one would find out who he was, and I had even brought him into my world. There’s no going back now. I peek at him and stare at him for a long time. He has soft, red lips that part as he softly breathes. as he noticed that I was looking at him, he turned his head toward me, and I could see that his eyes were looking at my lips.I slowly blinked and turned my head away. I need to stop my heart from beating so fast for him. What would happen if he thought that his abrupt look scared me? “I don’t want to startle you, or scare you. But why are you still scared of me?” he asked. "H-huh? uhm….” I took a deep breath. "Because the way you look at me makes me feel scared.... I'm afraid of what you might think of me." "Catalina...." he whispered. “I’m not thinking about something nasty about you….” I bit my lower lip, “No, it’s not like that. Fine, wh
Catalina’s POVI got up from bed when I heard Thaddeus' footsteps approaching from the outside. I opened the door and found him standing in front of the door. It's already well past two in the morning when I check the time on the wristwatch."Where have you been? You are not sleeping in the same bed with me." I complain about it as if we were deeply committed to one another in a committed relationship."Why do you care? I can take care of myself." He said as he walked past me. I turned around with a frown and went back to my bedroom. I was confused as to the cause of his abrupt change in demeanor. I curled up in bed and closed my eyes until I fell asleep.The next morning,I didn't see him, and I believe that after what occurred to us the night before, he continued to ignore me. I now know that he has continued to ignore me because he views me as a temptation he must avoid. Then I don't understand why in the heck he decided to marry me in the first place. I saw two maids were here e
Catalina’s POV Connor watched how I acted, so I tried to seem normal and smiled at him. But he still thinks something is wrong with me. So he inquired, "What's the matter? You okay?" "Nothing," Then, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw three black SUV-style luxury vans pull up to the Villa. The guard unlocked the gate, and Jessica and Leila ceased fighting with each other. Arthur came onto the terrace and stared at the attractive man who had just exited the SUV. I want Arthur to feel bad about himself that I chose a man who is better than him. I want Leila to think that what she has now is nothing compared to what I have. I gave Thaddeus a covert smile as he walked near me, and he kissed my cheek and mumbled something. "Did I just tell you that if you make something, you have to tell me about it?" I whispered back. "You didn't tell me where you were last night," His face clouded, and Connor walked slowly behind me, staring at Thaddeus. Thaddeus was still wearing dark sung
Catalina’s POVSitting next to him, I could feel his hypnotizing stare. His gaze went to the ring on my index finger. Then he sniffed deeply and asked, "Did he give you that?" I smiled and nodded my head, saying, "Yes, it's the rarest red diamond...." "I know," he said, nodding his head. He didn't say anything more the whole way back to the mansion. As we arrived at the mansion, we were at the entrance. He pulled me closer to him and said, “They’re here.” I looked at him with confusion. “Who’s here?” "The Council of Vampires." He whispered, and a surge of dark air made the large gate outside close. Then, all of the mansion's servants returned to their rooms and locked the doors. A man with dark hair and dark eyes that turned crimson as he walked toward me made me gasp, and I grasped Thaddeus' hand out of panic. Then, the three of them started walking like they were walking on air. As they got closer to us, they halted, and the chilly air stopped blowing around. “Well, well, wel
Catalina’s POVThaddeus became such an important person in my life, I don’t want something to happen to him, and I guess it will shatter me into pieces if he’s not with me. I rolled over on the bed and kept thinking about him since I couldn’t sleep. I can think of as much as I want, but he can’t even read what’s in my mind. I got up, walked into his room, and cautiously opened the door. I just wanted to take a quick look at him in case he stepped outside again without informing me. The door suddenly shut, which surprised me. I gulped and took a step back to try to unlock it, but I couldn't. Then someone grabbed me around the waist, and I gasped and stuttered. "I….I—I d—didn't—" "Catalina, what are you doing here?" My brain went completely blank, and I had no idea how to respond to what he said. When it was dark, red lightning appeared in his eyes, gradually subsiding, leaving his eyes their usual color. "I'm not sure what it is that you want...Tell me, what it is that you desire?
Catalina’s POV “Just dropped me in my Dad’s building,” I told the driver, and he nodded his head. As I was about to step out, the driver said, “Does Mr. Gualtiero know you’re—” I raised my index finger and said, “Sssshhh, no, don’t tell him about this. This is my plan.” As I entered the building, everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at me at what am I doing in Sullivan’s Empire. Do they know that I’m the heiress? Maybe not. Maybe Lily tried to tell them the lie. “Miss Catalina?” The guard stopped me in the middle of the hallway, and I glanced at him. “Yes?” “Miss Catalina, you are banned from stepping foot in this building,” he said with a nervous face. I put my hands on my hips and asked, “Why?” "Catalina, why in the hell are you even here?!," the woman, who appeared to be in her fifties and had been wearing sunglasses, demanded in a stern voice. "I'm here because I'm my father's daughter," I scoffed while adjusting my long sleeves. "Don't you remember?
