THE REMARRIED HEIRESS 87
CATALINAMy heart pounded with tension as sweat trickled down my spine, nervous at what Dante was thinking for jumping into a fiery pit without giving me a heads-up.“W-What are you–”“What is he doing here, honey?” Mrs. Yu cut my words off.She smiled, but it didn't reach her eyes. She was trying her best to be polite to Mr. Yu, even though she didn't like the person he came here with. Mr. Yu's eyes squinted with a wide smile as he proudly showed us a box of Dalmore scotch whiskey.“He sent me a gift. The 62-year-old Dalmore is limited, so I can't decline it!”My eyes widened as I switched glances to Dante and the $200,000 whiskey. “Sit down for breakfast, Mr. Marcellos.” He offered.“Xie xie ni, Mr. Yu.”They walk past me. Dante even winked at me before taking a seat opposite Mrs. Yu.Mr. Yu seemed delighted as he carefully placed the bottle on the table, staring at it as if it were the most precious thing in the world. How did Dante find that rare one? Even my father was having

CATALINA‘I don't miss you.’ I replied with a smirk.‘Yeah, based on how you kissed me back.’I bit my bottom lip as I remembered what I had done. Of all the things I could have done in that situation, why did I choose to kiss?‘You deceived me! Your window was tinted!!!’‘I didn't say it was not.’This jerk! He knows how to tease and annoy me in the middle of the night.‘Go to sleep and go back to New York.’He came here without any bodyguards, so I don't know if he's safe from the threats around him. But I'm glad he's carrying a gun wherever he goes. A smile crept on my lips as I stared at the screen. He came all the way here just to see me. He's worried and I understand him for worrying like that. Seeing the man slash another man in the basement earlier made me wonder if my choice of coming here was the right thing.Well, there's nothing wrong and right in terms of finding the truth.The phone vibrates after a minute. I thought he fell asleep.‘I love how you always order me arou

CATALINAA little boy fell on the floor, creating a loud thud in the hallway. I immediately carried him and went into my room while covering his mouth. He didn't create a sound and he didn't move, too obedient for a kid like him.Does he know what's happening in this place?I waited for the footsteps behind the door, but they didn't come. I think they didn't hear us.Abby was now awake, her hands were under her pillow, and my eyes widened to see the butt of the gun sticking out.This time, I covered the kid's eyes and gestured to Abby to hide the gun. Well, I know he has seen a lot of guns, but he's still a kid.I put him on the bed, and I was amazed that he remained silent and innocently stared at me. He looks Chinese, and I think he's the son of one of the people here.I squatted on the floor. “Hi.” I smile and he smiles shyly. “Do you speak English?” I asked as I gestured my hand for him to understand what I was saying.He nodded.Oh, what a smart kid.“What's your name?” He pulled

CATALINACatherine sighed as she closed the document and threw it back on the table. She took her phone out of her pocket, calling someone.“Hey, honey.” She called Mr. Yu. “About Mr. Marcellos. It's sorted out.” She said with a wide smile.Why is she so happy that I'm not connected with Dante anymore?She put down her phone and strode to me. She held my arms, caressing them gently, and that gesture didn't warm me, but it gave me shivers. Her gleaming face was like she had something on her mind that I didn't like.“It's all good now. Stop communicating with him. Remember, Dante only used you, Catalina.”My jaw clenched as I looked away. I don't know if she's that dense not to notice my grimace, or maybe she knows my games but chooses to play with me. I'm not pleased to be with her, I was not forced either. I came here because I have to figure out something.First, my mother has a scar near her left eyebrow, based on the picture I saw in my father's bedroom. Catherine Yu has a scar on

CATALINAI held his face and pulled him closer, tilting my head, and so did he. I made his head cover my face, but with one eye, I could still see the guards approaching our car.My heart thumped, anxious at what might happen if Catherine found out Dante was here.When Dante's lips started moving, I parted my lips from his, distancing myself an inch away.I shot him a glare, but amusement was evident through his eyes.“We've just divorced, my Lina.” Damn, I just realized what I did. “I’m saving your ass, jerk.” I hissed as I looked behind his head. The armed man slowly walked in our direction, suspicion lingered on his face.“Oh, okay. Let’s continue.” Dante said.He held my face, pulling me closer, ready to devour my mouth, but I distanced a bit, stopping him from his dirty plan.“No tongue,” I warned him.The corner of his lips rose. “I can't promise you that.”“You–”“Come here.” I almost yelped when he suddenly lifted me by my waist and landed on his lap. “Make it believable.”

DANTE “Abby?” I turned to the person who tried to get in the driver's seat. My brows furrowed to see Lina.Abby put the gun back in the glove compartment before getting out and closing the passenger door. I scooted over in the passenger seat when Lina wanted to get in the driver’s seat.“What the hell are you doing here?” She gritted her teeth.“That was supposed to be my question to you, Lina. Why are you here? She’s connected to the Triad–”“I know.”My jaw clenched. “Then, you should know that she is dangerous even if she is related to you.”She sighed deeply and ran her hands through her hair. “There's something I need to know.”“And what is that goddamn something to the point you're risking your life?”“You don't need to know.”I clicked my tongue, annoyed at her stubbornness. I know she’s not an easy one.Rubbing the back of my neck, I shut my eyes. When it comes to her, I need to be more patient. “Just sign the divorce papers and get out of here.” She coldly said. She was a

DANTEI slammed the door of my car as I got out. The gate in Gomez’s residence was chained. They have left, and I'm frustrated that Abby did not even inform me.I called Abby, and it didn't take two rings for her to answer.“Where are you? Where’s Lina?” I frustratedly asked.“We're getting on the plane. I guess we're going to China–”“What the– why China?! Don't tell me she's with Mrs. Yu?”“Yes.”I firmly shut my eyes in rage and got inside the car.“Don't leave her side. Report to me if there is anything suspicious.” I ended the call and threw the phone on the passenger seat. The divorce paper on the seat caught my attention.Lina sent this to me with a signature, but I feel suspicious of her signature. I’m doubtful if this is her real signature. So, I sent this document to my lawyer to check for its legitimacy. I will receive a result later, but for now, I need to hop in my jet and catch Mrs Yu kidnapping Lina.I know she has a hidden agenda. I only found out about her connectio

DANTE I chugged down the glass of whiskey, emptying it. A train of thoughts rumbled in my head, but all of those thoughts were related to Lina. My Lina… I know the day will come when she finds out the truth, my true intention. But I never thought it would happen this fast. And she's f*cking mad at me. ‘My father ruined your family. That was the reason why I'm here with you, am I right?’ Her cries still lingered in my heart and mind, which made me feel horrible. ‘Wow, I was fooled for the second time around. You must be so happy that you managed to fool me.’ I filled the glass with the wine as my head throbbed. ‘Your family was already ruined before you even came into this world, Dante!’ I drank everything, but I couldn't stop picturing Lina sobbing. ‘Not only did you ruin my father's reputation, but you also destroyed me. You used me to take down everything my father owned, including me.’ I firmly shut my eyes as I gripped the glass tightly. ‘What am I to yo

CATALINA I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. I turned it off and stared blankly at the chandelier. I feel so weak and lost the will to get up and start my day as if nothing happened yesterday.I asked him if we should end this marriage, but he did not give me any response. Instead, he carried me to my room and left without saying anything at all.What does he want? Is he still not satisfied with ruining the image of my dad? Does he want to shatter me in his own hands?I devastatingly ran my hands through my hair as I got off the bed. I need medicine for my headache. In the kitchen, I discovered Abby working diligently. She's making breakfast or maybe lunch because it's already past ten. I let out a deep sigh as I leaned against the door. “Leave.” I caught her attention, but she only looked at me, uninterested in what I said.I needed to be alone right now and having her here kept reminding me of Dante and the fact that she works for him–“Mr. Marcellos just fired me.” Oh,
