CATALINA

Once it was half past seven 'o'clock, a maid knocked on my door to inform me of the arrival of the ride they had sent to pick me up. I whispered some words to dismiss her before returning to my business, not willing to be rushed with my makeup.

But then, Rosalia appeared again.

She stood at the door, wearing a red dress that accentuated her lipstick. She stood at the door, glaring at me through the full-length mirror in front of us.

“Are you going to leave already, or are you planning on letting the entire street know you are screwing a billionaire?” She scowled, folding her arms.

I stilled at the icy tone, my brush hovering mid-air. Rosalia's anger towards me still hadn't faded since the day she caught me in bed with her fiancé, but this was something different.

Something darker.

I began spreading blush on my cheeks. “What's wrong, hon? Are you having a hard time with child support already?”

“Fuck you, Catalina,” Rosalia spat angrily. Her hands curled into fists as she

  • The Billionaire's Redemption Game    Her Reasons For Staying.

    CATALINA I stirred with a low, guttural groan that seemed to echo through the tangled sheets. Every muscle in my body throbbed with a dull ache, as though I had run a marathon in my sleep. My brow furrowed instinctively, and I peeled open my eyes to the pale morning light streaming through the curtains. My body ached so much that I couldn't help but frown, causing me to open my eyes. I couldn't remember how I got this ache. All I could remember was talking to Theodore about my intention to party. And before I knew it, I went lights out for no good reason. I shouldn't have the memory gaps in my head, but I couldn't remember what happened how I came out of the walk-in closet. The ache in my head grew, causing me to let out another groan. If I didn't oversleep, I would have caught Theodore and forced him to explain this bizarre situation. My eyes shifted to the alarm clock on the bedside table. It was 6:40 am.Damn, I was late!I shot up from the bed and rushed to the bathroom to s

  • The Billionaire's Redemption Game    Something Fishy's Going On With That Boy.

    CATALINA“You're Liam's son?” I repeated, my brows pulling up in quiet disbelief.At that moment, it was impossible to hide on my face. Despite my constant reminders about my need to know everything about this family, it seemed that Theodore had omitted an important part about it. A breathing human being. A child. The boy nodded slowly, his gaze fixed on me with more maturity than I expected from someone his age. There was a stillness in him that unsettled me, as if he had learned too early how to read people.How old was he, I wondered. Seven? Eight? As much as I was stuck admiring him, a thought suddenly drifted into my mind. If his father was on a mission, then who was taking care of him? Victoria? Madeline?Dear God, please let it not be Madeline. “I'm not lying,” Evan suddenly spoke, his young voice snapping me out of my deep thoughts. He fiddled with the hem of his shirt as his green eyes found mine. “I swear I will prove it to you, but could you please not tell on me?”I ch

  • The Billionaire's Redemption Game    Who Is This Child?

    CATALINAI lied. I said I was going to get a glass of water, but the moment I stepped into the kitchen, my fingers reached for the bottle of whiskey I found hidden in one of the fridges. I tilted it back and let the burn scorch its way down my throat, hoping it would stop my bleeding heart. At first, I was worried that one of the maids or chefs would catch me drinking and report it to Henrietta, but that worry slowly disappeared when I thought about Theodore's words. He was right. I wasn't supposed to care about what they thought about me because I was only here as a replacement. As time passed by, the sorrow in my heart slowly changed into anger. But the funny part about this was that the anger wasn't directed at the man who had kept disappointing me each time. It was directed at myself. ‘Why the hell did you let him do this to you, Catalina?’ I asked myself.Whenever I dealt with anyone, I was always the badass Mexican bombshell who did whatever she wanted. But when it came to

  • The Billionaire's Redemption Game    The Woman He Truly Wanted.

    CATALINATheodore and I stayed in our room for another hour, discussing plans to consolidate our marriage sham. Theodore told me that he had received a stern scolding from his grandmother before he went to work about his attitude towards me. According to him, he wasn't sure that his grandmother truly believed that we were in love like he claimed, which still put him in danger of losing his inheritance. “I guess we’re going to have to up our ante,” I said, casually shrugging, though I was fighting the urge to give him a full-blown I-told-you-so stare. “Good thing I have a plan.”His brows lifted, curiosity flickering in his eyes. “What kind of plan?”I fell silent for a few seconds. It wasn't because I didn't have an idea, but because I wasn't sure how he would react to it if I told him. After all, he was doing so much already by ignoring Madeline, but we both didn't want to push her too far. “Catalina?”His voice snapped me out of my thoughts, and I realized I’d been biting my botto

  • The Billionaire's Redemption Game    Please Find My Son, Theodore.

    CATALINA“Now, do you have something to tell me?”Hearing his words, I paused halfway with one of my hands holding a nail polish and the other holding an ice cream bucket. After we retreated to our bedroom, Theodore went straight to shower, leaving me all alone for hours. I wasn't sure if this was his way of giving me the silent treatment for giving his mother a hard time, so I went down to get myself some ice cream. When he finally came out to wear his clothes, I took the liberty to admire his firm-looking ass and took a spoonful of ice cream to maintain my good mood. “What do you want to know?” I asked him. Theodore tossed away the wet towel he used to dry his hair on the chair nearby before he returned to bed. His eyebrows scrunched slightly at the sight of the ice cream, but he didn't say anything about it. Instead, he kept his eyes on me. His eyebrows twitched a little, a clear sign that he was trying his best to ignore the thing and have a decent conversation with me. “I wa

  • The Billionaire's Redemption Game    Tension At The Breakfast Table.

    CATALINAAfter our little “reconciliation”, I finally had the most awkward breakfast I had ever in my 26 years. The entire atmosphere was filled with silence and heavy tension as we ate in silence. No one even bothered to look up from their plates even once, except me who kept watching the scene with amusement and subtle eye rolls. I knew I shouldn't have gone easy on them. Henrietta, Dorothy and Madeline sat opposite us, along with her little minions pretending we didn't exist. Unlike yesterday when they all chatted like I didn't exist, they kept their mouths shut this time. I guessed it had something to do with the motion of not pissing me off so I don't rat them out to Theodore's grandmother, Victoria. On that note, I snuck a little peek at the old woman seated at the head of the table. If Victoria knew anything about the situation that transpired this morning, she gave nothing away but instead, she continued to eat with grace and poise. Since everyone was intent on forgetting
