Fifteen The King’s Capture
Catalina’s POV
“Please, Catalina! I’m begging you! Stop! It’s hurting me!” Sophia screamed, her hands desperately clutching mine as I dragged her by the hair. She looked like. nothing more than a sack being dragged across the ground.
I didn’t respond. My grip didn’t loosen as I hauled her toward the safehouse‘ s
entrance.
“Ugh! Catalina, my stomach hurts!” she cried, clutching her abdomen in pain. “Catalina, my baby! My baby!” Her voice cracked, and I glanced down at the blood spreading between her legs.
That was when I stopped.
“Mr. President,” I said, releasing my hold on Sophia’s hair.

father, standing just outside the door. His face was an impenetrable mask of anger.
“Father! Father, help me! My baby! Please!” she sobbed, writhing in agony on the ground. “Why aren’t you doing anything? Help me! It hurts! My baby!”
But he didn’t move. He stood there, staring at her with cold, judgmental eyes.
“Catalina?” Javier‘ s voice broke through the tension. “Sophia!”
I turned to find Javier storming toward us, panic sweeping across his face when he saw the blood staining Sophia’s dress.
“Our baby, Javier,” Sophia gasped, her voice frantic with pain. “Save the baby! We need to go to the hospital–it’s too much!”
“Catalina!” Javier roared, his voice thick with fury. He pointed his gun at me. “I‘ 11 kill you! Take Sophia!” he ordered his men, but they didn’t move.
“I said take her to the hospital!” he shouted

again, his voice breaking. “Why aren’t you following my orders?”
“Because if they do, their loved ones will die,” I said flatly, meeting his furious gaze. “Javier, my dear husband, the man who betrayed me and killed my baby.”
“What the hell are you talking about?” he snapped, his face contorted in confusion. “You’ve never been pregnant, Catalina! You‘ re delusional!”
His gaze flicked to the President, confusion deepening in his eyes. “Why is he here?”
“Sophia, please!” Sophia sobbed, clinging to Javier. “Our baby! Save our baby!”
“You can’t save that child,” I said, my voice cold and steady. “Because it’s not
yours.”
Sophia’s face twisted in panic. “What are you talking about? Of course it’s his!”
“You‘ re a good liar, Sophia,” I said, my lips curling into a mocking smile. “But not good

enough. Tell him the truth, Mr. President.”
Javier‘ s eyes snapped to the President, disbelief written all over his face.
“No! Don’t listen to her lies, Javier!” Sophia screamed, her face pale with fear.
“It’s the truth,” the President said, his tone flat. “Sophia‘ s doctor implanted an egg and sperm into her because she couldn’t conceive naturally. I’ve known about it from the beginning. She’s just like her mother.”
Javier‘ s face twisted in rage as the words sunk in. “Is that true, Sophia?” he roared.
“No! Father, stop lying!” Sophia cried, clinging to Javier with desperation. “Babe, it’s your child! Please believe me!”
“You lied to me!” Javier growled, shaking with rage. “You said it was mine!”
“It is yours!” she begged, her voice shaking.
“You‘ re a disgrace, Sophia,” the President spat, his voice venomous. “Getting involved

with a syndicate, killing someone‘ s unborn child……. If I’d known you’d be like this, I would’ve aborted you myself.”
He turned to me, his expression hardening. “Do whatever you want with her. I don’t have a daughter anymore.” Then, he turned and walked away, leaving Sophia sobbing after him.
“Father! No! Don’t leave me! Father!” she cried, collapsing in a heap on the ground.
“What a pity,” Carina said, stepping forward with a smirk. “Cat, finish her off. Or I will.”
Javier stood frozen, eyes blazing with rage as he glared at Sophia. “You did this!” he yelled. “You killed my real child!”
Sophia trembled before him, her voice cracking. “No, babe, I didn’t! I swear I didn’t!”
But Javier wasn’t listening. He lunged at her, his hands wrapping around her throat.
“You killed my baby!” he roared, his eyes

red with fury. Sophia gasped, choking under his grip, her hands clawing at his.
Before he could finish, the police rushed in, grabbing him and pulling him away. “Let me go!” he screamed, thrashing in their hold. “I’ll kill her! I’ll kill her!”
I reached out and grabbed Carina’s arm before she could take matters into her own hands. “Let’s go,” I said quietly, turning away from the chaos.
“Catalina!” Javier‘ s voice called out, but I didn’t look back. “Catalina, I’m sorry! Tell me, is it true?”
His voice cracked with pain. “Let me go!” he shouted at the police, still struggling as they dragged him toward the car.
Chris was waiting by the car, his face calm as ever. “Let’s go home,” he said, his voice steady.
I nodded and slid into the car, Carina following me. As we pulled away, I saw reporters swarming the scene, capturing

Javier’s voice echoed behind us, frantic. “Catalina! Mi Amore, come back! Don’t leave me like this! I’m sorry! Please, Catalina!”
The car drove fastly and I opened my phone and opened and read the article news in my phone.

The image showed him battered but smiling.
And as I stared at it, I realized that after all those years, I was wrong to love someone, and how foolish I had been.
Now, I felt at peace, knowing I achieved what I had yearned foe my baby.
I inhaled deeply as I looked out the window, and my twin said, “What do you
think of Lorenzo? Isn’t he a hottie, despite looking so terrible?”

I smiled and shook my head. “He’s all yours. I’m not interested in him.”
