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?
Catalina’s POV"Why can't I trust him?" I inquired about this as Thaddeus and I made our way into the woods; I had no idea where he was leading me, but I trusted him more than any other human.He responded with a hoarse whisper, "Because he's not good for both of us." "I've known him since we were little, but I don't understand why you're acting like this. I don't know what's wrong with you. He is a good friend of mine, and he handed this to me. I said in a shaky voice while showing the ring to him on my index finger. He removed the ring on my finger, and I asked angrily, "What do you think you're doing?" "He put something within this ring, a drop of holy water, which is why it is difficult for me to stay near to you; in fact, it is far more difficult than it was before." Thaddeus looked at me with a serious expression and placed the ring on my palm before telling me, "You need to give this back to him." "Is he…Is he a member of the Vampire Hunter's Organization?" I asked with some
Catalina’s POVAfter getting a call, he kissed my forehead and said, "I have to go." I just scowled and felt like there was something wrong with me. I want him, but every time I want him in bed, something terrible happens.“Miss Catalina, your bathtub is ready.” The maid said. With a subtle nod of my head, I make my way toward the bathroom, eager to unwind and release the tension that has built up throughout the day. The amalgamation of pressure and excitement has exhausted me, and I need rest. As I sink into the warm water, I feel my body begin to relax, and the monotony of the day slowly fades away. I closed my eyes until I fell asleep and dreamed of my dad. It was so dark I couldn't see my father, but I could hear him saying, "Catalina, save yourself. Claim what is rightfully yours, for it is not meant for those who are undeserving."When I opened them, I felt a sharp pang in my chest as I recalled my father. I slumped in the corner and sobbed uncontrollably. "D-Dad...." I dried
Catalina’s POVIt was just a small cut and nothing serious, but his face was all written like it was something horrible that he needed to heal the cut so properly, or he would collapse from smelling my blood. He applied a bandage to my wounded foot while staring at my face."I was not always like this...it's only that the smell of your blood turned into an addiction for me." He was trying so hard to swallow, and his Adam's apple moved back and forth as he spoke. "Like I was needing it all the while...." "Why don't you simply bite me and get over it?" I inquired as if I were not considering the repercussions of my actions. He laughed about how I had stupidly offered myself to him, and he shook his head and kissed the back of my hand, making my heart throb again for him.“No…I don’t want you to be a blood slave of mine, you are so important to me, and you are my wife." I let out a soft sigh and looked into his eyes, which had been staring at me the entire time, "Do you want to go with
Catalina’s POVThe driver came out to open the car door for us, followed by two bodyguards who were keeping an eye on the surroundings. People stopped what they were doing as soon as they saw my Vampire mate, Thaddeus Gualtiero, and I entered the building. Their eyes glittered in wonder at the shine and brilliance of my sultry gown. Then they stare at Thaddeus, who was tall and dangerously good-looking, but he also has a violent streak within him. While Leila was talking with a few guests, one of them said, "Look! Oh, wow! Here comes Catalina!" Leila was astonished and said, "W-WHAT?" The men inside are staring at me from head to toe, and then Thaddeus put his hand on my waist and softly stroked me while whispering, "I'm a vampire, and it bothers me when they keep staring at us. I could hear their dirty thoughts about you..." I smiled at him, “Don’t mind it, just be with me tonight.” Leila walked toward me because I was now the focus of everyone's attention. All the women want t
Catalina’s POVThaddeus dragged me inside the mansion, where it was completely dark, and I could not even determine what was happening to him. The maids were nowhere to be found, and Salvatore was nowhere to be found either. So I asked, "What's going on?""Do you think that humans have always been kind?" He asked in an angry tone, and his eyes became tinged with red. I blinked my confused eyes, shook my head, and muttered, "I don't know what you're talking about, Thaddeus! I'm just curious as to why you messed up my plans!"He turned toward the wall to flip the switch on the lamp in the far corner, and while he was doing so, he could not look at me with his angry expression. I am aware that he had built up a lot of fury inside of him that he wanted to let out, but he could keep himself under control so that he wouldn't cause any trouble, especially since I was here watching him."They killed Salvatore." He hit the wall with his fist, and the whole building shook. I stepped back in fe
Catalina’s POVI gently opened my eyes and had no idea where I was or how I got into this strange place. Fear crept up on me as soon as I picked up the odor of blood permeating the entire building. I had a strong desire to throw up. I could hear individuals crying out for help, but no one seemed to be coming to their aid. I attempted to stand up, but I was bound in so many places that I fell back on the chair I was sitting in. Both of my wrists and feet were shackled together. I could not move any part of my body, so I screamed for help, hoping someone would help me, "HELP! Is anybody there?" "Oh, my god." I saw clearly that the room was covered in blood, and some humans were there, and they were all dead. "Oh my god!" Fear and the want to flee got the better of me. "Oh my god! Help!" I was terrified to the point where every part of my body was trembling. My eyes started to well up with tears, and I found myself crying constantly. I'mI'm terrified that I'llI'll be trapped here for
Catalina’s POVRaymond drew me up while he grabbed my wrist and forcibly opened my hand. After that, he leaned closer and looked straight into my eyes. Because he is not Thaddeus, and because this man is not as good as I believe he is, being too close to him makes me feel highly uncomfortable. After committing murder and torturing humans for the sole purpose of extracting their blood, he proved to be a poor commander due to the fact that he is a self-centered being. "I can't read her thoughts either, and I can't attack her internally. I have no idea what's happening, but this woman is nothing more than a weak and helpless human being! What possible defense does she have against us?" Raymond mumbled something under his breath before gazing at Bianca, who was standing in the background. The soldiers stationed in the nearby corner were also taken aback, and one spoke up. "It's possible that she's a bad omen! Because we don't know what else she is capable of, we believe it is best to el
