THE REMARRIED HEIRESS のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

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

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 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

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

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
