All Chapters of Claiming The Heiress: Chapter 101 - Chapter 109

Alejandro Katerina’s eyes are wide against me as she studies me with an intense gaze. I realise this is a scene we probably shouldn’t be doing here, but I am too exhausted to focus. The last few days have been an emotional roller coaster and I’ve been out of my mind from the moment she left earlier.And here she is right now, not saying a word, confirming this way what I feared - that with my stubbornness I managed to push her away. That she’d never understand my reasons and one way or the other, she’d never want to be with me again.This is what made me stay away from the house today, because in the state I was once I realised she wasn’t coming back, I was not to be trusted I wouldn’t do or say something stupid. like some wounded animal who doesn’t know better than to attack every time it’s hurt.The silence stretches again between us, and there are not even birds chirping to ta

Alejandro We decide to get back to the house separately after all. Not for hiding, but because we need to regroup. At the front door it is Eva who intercepts us, a smug look on her face the minute she notices our swollen lips and the fact that we are still holding hands. We are all dishevelled, but honestly, it would be a miracle if we weren’t with the day we had. I don’t want to think about it - about the bliss and then the pain, about how I almost lost my mind in the few hours since Katerina left me. No more, I am done with all this. She’s mine and nothing will change that.“Well, look at you lovebirds,” Eva chirps, looking more than excitedly at us.“Oh, cut it,” Katerina replies with a roll of her eyes, but instead of letting me go, she holds my hand tighter and pulls me to her side. As close as it is appropriate at this point.“Okay, whatever,” her friend waves us off, even

Katerina It’s nice having someone tell you you are perfect on the daily. Even more so when you know they mean it on all the notes that matter. It’s nice to know it’s not just words people throw at you to make you do whatever they want or to shut you up or whatever the hell it is they want from you. Alejandro is not a man of many words and the ones he decides to gift you with are usually important, heartfelt, meaningful.When I finally peel myself out of the bed, the same one that seemed to be so big and lonely when I first got here, but now is crowded with Alejandro’s large body, it’s an effort to go take a shower and leave him alone there.It’s a miracle on its own that he’s just as relaxed around me as I am around him. Compared to the guarded man, whose temper used to be the one of a starved guard dog, my man is slowly starting to understand that life is not all about hustle and bustle, and belie

KaterinaIf he does something stupid like insult Alejandro, or threaten him in any way, I am going to end this man. I don’t care we are in a public place, that this is exactly what people like him want - to provoke and humiliate, and hurt others. Consequences be damned.The fact that Alejandro is trying to hide me from view with his body only pisses me off further. We were supposed to be over that s*hit by now. Equal partners with equal roles in business and in our relationship and all that, yet here we are again.This time though, instead of fighting, I try to count to ten before reacting. Which is the time it takes Sandoval to get intimately close to us, like we are old friends about to share long due secrets.The stench of spirits and misery comes from him in waves. And it’s then when it hits me - the man looks miserable. That line on his brow, the way his eyes are hooded in the corners like something heavy has settled over his eyelids…the slump of his shoulders.“What do you want?

AlejandroShe was supposed to be back half an hour ago. Jose said they were on their way. But now neither of them is picking up their phones and there is no sign of them. Juan’s already down the road, but there are no news from him either and I am starting to get really, really worried.As I walk back and forth in the dimwit office, the phone burning in my hand with how cold it actually feels, all I can think of is that I shouldn’t have let her go out. Of course, it’s not like she asked or that even if she did I’d ever do anything to stop her from living her life. But it’s a fact that there are threats over her, veiled and open ones, and it’s all I can think of.Even when the logical part of my brain tries to rationalise it all, that it’s probably nothing, that they probably lost contact, that Katerina, stubborn as she is probably decided to go out of her way to meet a sick kid or whatever it is she does when she goes to visit Manuel to his church. Maybe I should’ve
