Catalina’s POV Today, a white gown dress was delivered to the villa, and by astonishment, I spotted many unfamiliar individuals outside. After a while, I discovered that all these people were Thaddeus' family and friends. They never become old, which contributes to their overall attractiveness. They all have this mesmerizing and incredibly attractive appearance, yet despite their beautiful looks, they can be dangerous. I tilted my head down because I did not want to look any of them in the eyes. Thaddeus warned me not to stare at them, so I refrained from doing so. The woman with fair skin, fiery red hair, and a tall, slender build came up to me with a friendly smile. She grabbed my wrist and grinned again, and greeted me softly. "Hello..." "Hey," I greeted her as I caught a glimpse of her. As we made our way to the ground and majestic balcony, she questioned me while gently chuckling, "Are you the Vampire's Bride?" I was stunned by her question, and she saw how I reacted. "By
555Catalina’s POV I went carefully as the music began to play in the background, and everyone was clothed in a formal dress. Some men gazed at me as though they were ready to devour me simply by the look of their thirsty eyes, and as I looked around, I saw others wearing fancy dresses. The older man dressed as a priest greeted me with a friendly expression. As I approached the aisle, Thaddeus smiled at me. The priest said, "We are here united in the union of Catalina Sullivan and Thaddeus Gualtiero's wedding day...." then he continued. I felt like so many eyes watched my every move throughout the ceremony. Since I couldn't even move freely, I felt paralyzed in the middle of the event until I heard the priest say, "You are now husband and wife....you may kiss the bride." My pupils dilated as Thaddeus leaned in closer to me and clasped my face with his other hand. He took a few deep breaths and kissed my lips for an extremely long time. When I tried to stop him, he did not stop mov
Catalina’s POVAs we were leaving the grand villa, I heard a few gunshots, and Thaddeus held my hand tightly and put his hand on my eyes. He covered my eyes and ears so I wouldn't hear those vampires' screams or the humans' screams coming from the surrounding area. "Salvatore, have the plane ready to go tonight. They shouldn't be able to find me and figure out who I am." Salvatore nodded his head and pushed the pedal to speed up the car. I moaned anxiously and drew away from Thaddeus. "Are they humans?" "Yes, they are but they know a lot about us. They are trained to kill vampires." Salvatore drove us inside the forest, where we found an empty lot and a huge private plane that had been waiting for us there. "There's no reason for us to leave the country—" he cut me off, and I stared doubtfully at him. Thaddeus put his hand on my wrist and said, "We have to. Even though my adversary tries to track me down, they are still unaware of who I am. It is in our best interest to hide
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
