CATALINA ‘The number you have dialed is out of coverage area. Please try–’I press the end button and throw my phone on the table with a sigh. Only five minutes are left before midnight, and James, my husband, is still not home. He wasn't answering his phone earlier, and now it seems his phone was turned off."Is he that busy?"Or... Did he forget it?My heart throbbed as my thumb played with my wedding ring. It was our wedding anniversary, but he didn't greet me. I was disappointed when I woke up this morning without him by my side.Tears welled up in my eyes as I stared down at the three pregnancy kits placed on the table. Yeah, it has two lines… It's positive… I'm pregnant. But I don't know how to tell James. We didn't talk for a week because we had a misunderstanding. My fingers fidgeted as the word ‘mother’ kept rummaging in my head. My mother left me when I was 8, and now... I'm becoming one.Will James be glad about it? He will, right? I will become a good, I mean, great moth

CATALINA I tightly shut my eyes when the sunlight hit my face as I stepped out of the lawn area of the women's penitentiary. My eyes were swollen from crying the whole night, and I couldn't believe I was sleeping on a cold floor in a small room with two unfamiliar women. While the case is still ongoing, I need to stay here until my innocence is proven. I still couldn't move on about the passing of my father, but everyone accused me of murdering the person I cherished in my entire life.They said he was poisoned by the food I delivered to him. But I don't remember delivering any food to my father's house. Fingerprints were discovered in the food pack, and it belonged to me, which is absurd.My chest tightened at the fact that no one believed me. Not even my husband, who didn't visit me since I was captured out of my will. A woman suddenly pushed me behind, causing me to walk forcibly to the lawn. They say we can play on this huge lawn for an hour under the sun. But I want to tuck my

CATALINATears welled up in my eyes as soon as the steel gate opened by a police officer, leading me to the outside world of hell. It feels like a year, even though I was just deprived of my freedom for two months.I was still confused as to why my case was dismissed. I kept asking the officers what happened to my father's death, but none of them gave me a response. Was he really poisoned? Who killed him? What's his motive? Or is it because he is a competitive businessman? I know he has a lot of enemies when it comes to the business world. I really need to talk to the lawyer and police officers who handled the case. But for now, I need to talk to James or Fiona. Maybe they know something too.I looked around, hoping to find my husband or sister, but there were no familiar faces or cars around. One car was only parked in front of the penitentiary with a plate number DM000, but I'm not familiar with it.I hailed a cab and headed first to my villa, where James and I were living. I was

CATALINA D-Divorced? U-Us? How the hell did that happen? Before I could even ask, James harshly threw a document on my feet. My brows furrowed at what was written in the document. A divorced agreement? But it confused me even more because of my signature. When did I sign it? I don't remember signing any papers while behind bars. God knows how he got it. “Leave now,” James impatiently said. “N-No…” My hand trembles as I touch my belly while staring at the papers on the floor. I'm not sure how to vent my rage. I don't know how to express all of this without hurting my baby inside me. “Don't make me repeat it, Catalina.” “No…” I run my hands through my hair, trying to calm myself. I have to hold it or else my baby will get hurt if I choose to obey these lingering feelings that almost lost my mind. “Get the hell out of my face now!” “NO!” Tears ran down my face again and again. I faced him with disgust and hatred as he did the same. “I'm pregnant, James.” I finally said i

CATALINA Silence…We both fell into silence now that we were alone inside his car. Dante Marcellos’ Ferrari. I couldn't react a few minutes earlier when he carefully carried me out of the building. I was in a state of shock upon hearing his words, forgetting I was in a disheveled situation.But I'm not sure if I heard him right.“Are you okay?”I immediately gazed at Dante while I was holding an ice pack on my cheek, but he only fixed his gaze on the road. That's right, don't look at me. It will make me feel more embarrassed if you stare at me again right now.I shake my head lightly and answer his question with a question as well.“What did you just say earlier?” “Hmmm?”My fingers tightened around the ice pack when he hummed like that. But I immediately loosened my hold when I realized I should not react like this. “W-Why did you say I'm your wife? Do you even know who I am?”“Catalina Gomez, daughter of Moriz Gomez, owner of the Gomez Enterprise–”“Am I that pitiful?”“Yes, you

CATALINA I rise to consciousness out of a dead blank into a whiter world. I slowly opened my eyes with a soft groan and saw sunlight between the curtains. The strong light pierced through my eyes, causing me to wince and look at the other side. I wander my eyes to scrutinize my surroundings. White and beige were everywhere, and an antiseptic scent was all over the place. Hospital? Why am I here?I tried to move, but my body hurt so much. I was wearing a hospital gown, so the bruises in my arms and knee were visible. What the hell happened to me? I felt so weak and drained.Then my dim awareness melted away, and I got sleepy again. I groaned softly and caressed my belly. But I stopped and looked at my stomach because I felt weird.What’s this? What’s this feeling of emptiness?The door suddenly opens. It’s Dante Marcellos– Images of yesterday's events flashed in my head, sending horror through my whole system.“H-Hey…” He greeted me awkwardly, nervously, until he reached me on the b

CATALINAAs soon as I open my eyes the following day, I don't have the will to get up. I'm too tired. My whole body was exhausted for some reason. ‘Let's do this together’ Dante’s words from yesterday echoed in my head. I'm not alone in this battle.Losing my baby was painful as hell, to the point I wished I was gone with her, too. Even though the reckless driver was caught, I'm still not satisfied.I took a quick shower because I haven't been able to clean my hair since I got out of jail. When I entered the closet, my whole body froze. Everything inside here is familiar. Clothes, bags, shoes, and my collection of perfume are here.“H-How…” Did Dante take all this from the mansion? How? How could he easily enter our premises?I rushed out of the closet, scanned my surroundings, and stopped at the picture frames plastered on the wall. I became teary-eyed as I got closer and touched the picture of my father behind the glass. Some were my parents' pictures, and some were mine.I did

CATALINA I did my morning routine when I woke up and went downstairs for breakfast. I ate in silence, alone at this lengthy acacia table. I should get used to the absence of Dante's presence, but... this is his freaking house. Since this is his home, he should be here and return home here rather than abruptly leaving without notifying anyone.After making me sign the marriage contract... He left without saying anything to me.I woke up a month ago without seeing his presence anywhere. I asked the servants, but they also didn't know where he went until a month had passed.What's his deal? Did he regret his marriage proposal to me? And now he's hiding from me and reprimanding himself for making such a big mistake?Damn him!I have a lot of things to do, but these people here won't even let me step out of the gate. The security was insane. It's driving me nuts and making me frustrated every day.Instead of venting my frustration to Dante in my head, I make myself busy by rearranging hi

CATALINA After cleaning myself in the bathroom, I saw a huge red box on the bed. I curiously opened the box and was surprised to see a red dress. I was in awe when I lifted the dress to fully see the stunning one-shoulder sequin crystal maxi dress with a pair of gloves in red.From Dante? Does he want me to wear this? But it's sexy and form-fitting in my body.Anyway, I still wear the dress and pair it down with leather stilettos. I tidy my hair into a French twist with a French pearl pin, put on my crystal rose necklace and crystal flower drop earrings, with minimal make-up.I stared at myself for a few seconds in the mirror. This is okay. I look like a human in the eyes of judgmental beings.I grabbed my red satin flower bag, went downstairs, and found Dante in the living room, waiting for me on the couch with a frown while staring at his phone.My eyes examined his charming look. He’s wearing a well-tailored, clean lines, and sharp-looking charcoal designer suit, featuring a crisp

CATALINAThe corners of my lips lifted as their critical, disapproving, and scornful eyes reached mine. How can they be so obvious in judging me? I don't need their approval to be in their sight, and I didn't live with their opinion.We walk with authority in the middle of the hall, letting the people around us stare at our hands, holding comfortably with each other. I lifted my chin and confidently walked beside Dante, didn't care about those people murmuring nonsense. I raised my brow while locking my eyes on Fiona, who seemed taken aback at my presence before I sat beside Dante. I’m glad that this table was only exclusive to the two of us.I felt Dante lightly squeeze my hand. “Ignore them.”“I am.”Dante looked at me with amusement in his eyes before a small smile plastered on his lips.Hell, yeah, I'm nervous! Especially seeing those two! But having one person with me tonight lessened the pressure within me. The lights suddenly turned warm, and the orchestra started playing Wes
