Catalina's POV"Catalina, I'm talking to you!""Stop right there young lady and listen to me. You are not leaving this house!""Dear, listen to me, please. You are hurting and making rash decisions." The voice said but much calmer this time.When she didn't get a reply from me, her harsh and loud tone returned. "You are confused and letting your emotions take over. Think this through! What would your parents say, huh?!" Aunt Lydia continued ranting behind me, her heavy footsteps resounding in the once-quiet hall as she tried to keep up with me."Where will you go?""I've told you, aunt. I'm leaving for my ranch first thing in the morning. I can't stay here any longer." I kept my voice stern, turned to her, and continued the walk to my room again."And keep your voice down, Aunt. Your screaming won't stop me. I've decided already."I was finally at the foot of my door before she spoke up again. "But, how will you cope? You've only been to the ranch a few times, and you were just a kid

Catalina's POV"Where's Gilberto?" I asked a random maid who was carrying a vase."He's with the horses, Boss." I gave a slight nod, dismissing her and she continued walking up the stairs.On getting to the stables, I found Gilberto struggling with a horse. The horse seemed agitated and was trying to free itself from his hold. It neighed a lot and sent Gilberto flying across the room. Some men came to Gilberto's aid but my attention was drawn to the horse. It was cautiously calming down, patting his hoofs on the ground.It was beautiful with his black fur neatly combed on his back. His dark eyes watched me from a distance, scanning me as he was still cautious. It hoofed, turning away from me."This will be my horse, saddle him for me." I didn't wait for a response and stepped outside. I heard footsteps behind me before a voice followed, it was Gilberto."Boss, that horse is dangerous. I've been riding it for a year and look what it did to me. It's stubborn. I won't advise a woman such

Catalina's POV"Catalina! Guess who's here?!" Nana's voice rang through my room."Not now Nana," I said, pulling my sheets closer to me. I was still recovering from the humiliation I faced. I wasn't ready to meet the outside world yet but Nana wasn't having it. She opened my curtains, daylight streamed in and I quickly covered my face with the duvet.Nana walked around the room, placing stuff back in place. "It's your aunt and cousin. They are here to see you!" I sighed. "Have them wait for me, I'm not ready to see anyone yet.""Child, that's your aunt. She took care of you. She missed you so she came to see you. I can only imagine how worried she was for her to come all this way."I groaned. "I said I don't want to see anyone. Take them to their rooms or whatever. I'll go see them later." I waved her off, my face still under my sheets."Do whatever you want child. Just don't come crying to me when the regret sets in."I heard laughter a few minutes later. They were happy while I was

Catalina's POV"You fool, how could you be so careless." I was by his side in an instant, helping him sit up with his back resting on the wall. It looked bad, the wound was slowly bleeding out and I could tell the venom was starting to spread as the veins around it blackened.He stopped moving around and sat still as he stared."Are you yelling at me?! At a time like this? I could be dying." He said in disbelief as he clutched his leg in pain. He winced and gasped. A hand ran through my hair as I felt helpless. A snake bite wasn't a part of the plan."You saw the snake, what type was it?" I asked. This earned me a thoughtful look from him before he gave up."I don't know, I didn't get a good look at it but the snakes found in these parts are poisonous." He was talking between breaths while I stood, torn and having a dilemma in my head."I don't know what to do! What do I do?" I ran a hand through my hair, I felt helpless and confused. I began biting my lips, an old habit of mine."Sta

Andre's POV"From your tone and expression, I guess that's a bad thing?" It was meant to be a statement but it came out as a question."My mom is going to kill me! I can't be pregnant. I don't have a husband or a job, I could never raise a child on my own." She dropped to the foot of my bed, the test results tightly squeezed in her hand. I didn't know what to say so I just let her rant on. "My dad walked out on us when he found out my mom was pregnant with me and I vowed never to let that happen to me and now look! I'm screwed." She said as she held her head tightly, her finger digging deep into her scalp.She had gone quiet suddenly in the poorly lit room. A poorly lit lamp was at the far end of the room so I couldn't see her face but loud sobs soon filled the room and her body shook with each one. I move with hesitation over to her to comfort her. My arms awkwardly laid on her shoulders and just when I was about to utter a word, she hugged me tightly. I was beyond stunned. We were s
