Heir’s Redemption

Chapter 4

“Line up ladies!” Sage yelled out as she stood in front of her teammates, ready to start a cheer.

The football game was starting and the two teams were on the field, completing the coin toss. The referee was talking to both sides, making sure there would be a clean game without any fighting.

Caterina stood in the back of the group, totally hating every second of this. Her eyes roamed the loud crowd, seeing all the horny teenage boys drool over her. She felt like a piece of meat on display and all these hungry beats wanted to devour her.

She couldn’t help but roll her eyes and feel disgusted.

What she didn’t expect was to come across Rámon in the stands, sitting next to her brothers.

What was he doing here?

She saw the way he looked her over with his cold eyes. His light brown orbs shifted from lust to anger, making her skin erupt in chilly goosebumps.

If looks could kill, she would be dead.

But on the other hand..

If a look could impregnate her, she would instantly be pregnant with his child.

She didn’t know if she should be happy at the fact that her outfit got under his skin, or to be worried by the psychotic look in his entrancing eyes.

Either way, she was gonna exploit the power she had in this moment.

“Caterina!” Sage yelled out, bringing her back to reality. “Get in line!”

Caterina huffed in annoyance before falling in line with her temporary cheer teammates. Sage gave her a pointed look, silently telling her ‘to get it together and focus’.

The football game kicked off and their home team ran the ball towards the end zone, but was stopped by a hard tackle.

“Alright ladies! Success!” Sage yelled out at as she waved her white Pom-Pom’s in the air. “One, two, three go!”

“S-U-C-C-E-S-S.. That’s the way we spell successes!” The girls cheered out as they waved their Pom-Pom’s and kicked their legs up in the air.

“Go team!” Their voices echoed together.

Caterina just stood there in line with her arms crossed over her chest, not doing anything. She couldn’t help but feel amused by all of this nonsense.

She was a trained killer for f***s sake. Her father would be disappointed if he saw her right now.

…

Up in the stands, the men were looking down at the girls with different expressions.

Vinny was totally captivated by Sage and didn’t take his eyes off of her. Rámon was amused by the way Caterina just stood there with a bored look on her face.

Even though he hated her for being out there on display, he was honestly just happy she wasn’t shaking her ass or kicking her legs up in the air for all to see.

“Your sister looks miserable.” Rámon muttered with a pleased tone.

“I’m sure you’re happy about that.” Vinny chuckled back as he stole a glance at his sister who was standing there looking annoyed.

“If it means she isn’t shaking her ass or spreading her legs, then yeah.” Rámon smirked, making Vinny shake his head in amusement.

Vinny glanced back over to Caterina who was staring at Rámon. She had that sneaky look in her hazel eyes, letting him know she was definitely up to something.

“Doesn’t seem like you’ll be happy for too long.” Vinny explained, making Rámon follow his gaze to Caterina who looked like she had some sneaky plans up her sleeves.

“Why Caterina? Why do you love to torture me?’ Rámon muttered out as he rubbed his temple, feeling a headache coming on.

Some horny teenage boys were standing close to the fence, cheering the girls on and whistling at them like animals.

That didn’t go unnoticed by Rámon and it just made his festering anger worse.

It wouldn’t be long until he exploded with rage.

…

Time passed and half time was now here.

The girls were about to perform their special half time show, with Catrina being their star pupil.

She talked with Sage during the first half of the game, needing to do something to get under Rámon’s skin. She wanted to piss him off real good— enough to make him explode and act like a real misogynistic i***t.

She loved when he exploded in rage— it was another way for her to prove just how much power she held over him.

The crowd was quiet as the girls lined up on the field.

Rámon couldn’t help but look out onto the field with anxiety. He absentmindedly chewed on his fingernails and was already fed up with being here this long.

Now his woman was about to perform for the whole school.

How the hell would he stomach this?

Loud pop music blared through the speakers all around the field, commencing the start of the girls routine.

He and Vinny watched as the girls jumped around and did stunts, all while dancing seductively and earning cheers from the drooling teenage boys.

Rámon was livid and one step closer from storming the field and dragging Caterina away.

The girls routine came to an end, but not before Caterina stepped up to the front and swayed her hips seductively, while waving her Pom-Pom’s in the air.

She did a couple of somersaults before landing the last one into a split. Caterina’s ass was on display and her spandex undershorts were barely covering anything as she stayed in her split on the field. The crowd went wild and the horny teenage boys were whistling and calling her name.

That was it.

Rámon couldn’t take it anymore.

He jumped out of his seat and bulldozed through the packed bleachers, not carrying if he shoved people out of his way.

Instead of taking the stairs down to the field, he just jumped the fence and landed on his feet from a ten-foot drop. He then proceeded to storm the field, quieting the noisy crowd that was now intrigued by what was about to happen.

Caterina was all smiles and giggles until she saw Rámon striding towards her with raging steps.

She knew she was f****d.

“Uh-oh.” Sage muttered out as she watched with worry.

Rámon didn’t even say anything, he just stomped his way to Caterina who looked like a deer in headlights. Without another thought, he picked her up and threw her over his shoulder before stomping his way towards the parking lot of the school.

She seemed to regain clarity because she finally started to resist. She pounded on his back and screamed for him to let her go.

He declined her febil attempts of resisting and tightened his grip around her thighs. He kept walking towards the parking lot and ignored all of the worried expressions of people he passed by on the way.

“Rámon!” Caterina yelled out as she hung upside down on his shoulder, “Put me down right now you beast!”

She continued to pound on his wide back, but it didn’t seem to do anything.

His muscles were tense and she could feel how angry he was by the way his muscles flexed and shifted with every bit of movement.

He finally reached his Lamborghini urus and proceeded to throw her into the passenger seat. He reached around her body and fastened her in with the seat belt, all while giving her a cold look that made her shut up instantly.

She knew not to provoke his beast— not yet at least.

Rámon got into the front seat and drove off like a bat out of hell. The silence in the car was palpable and the tension could be cut with a knife.

The shock soon died down and Caterina just ended up becoming annoyed.

“You’re such an asshole.” She muttered out as she crossed her arms over her chest and sulked. “You totally embarrassed me back there.”

“Embarrassed?!” He growled back, “You’re lucky I didn’t kill you for acting like a f*****g stripper!”

“Excuse me!” She proceeded to reach over and slap Rámon in the face, “I wish you would try and kill me you stupid f*****g ignorant i***t!”

Rámon screeched the car to a halt and forcefully gripped Caterina’s chin, making her meet his cold gaze.

His once light brown eyes were now dark and grey, as if his inner beast was awakened and looking for blood.

“Why do you insist on making things harder than they have to be?” His voice was low and hoarse as he stared into her hazel green eyes.

Caterina’s chest rose and fell quickly as she tried to catch her breath. She didn’t know if she should be weary of her next words or harshly give it to him.

“Rámon.” She breathed out, making him close his eyes.

The way she said his name was like music to his ears. It was almost like a moan, something he had been dreaming about for years, but in different circumstances.

He wanted to hear it when she was under him while he was buried deep inside of her.

He lessened his grip on her chin and rested his sweaty forehead against hers. His once chilly demeanor was instantly gone by the sudden skin on skin contact.

“I love you Caterina.” He admitted softly, “What more do you want from me?”

Her heart softened at his vulnerable tone, but it also made her angry.

He hurt her more than he could have ever imagined. She just couldn’t forget or act as if none of it happened.

“I want you to suffer.” She sneered, “I want you to hurt like I hurt all those years when you left me without a word and then proceeded to sleep around as if I meant nothing to you!”

Rámon was afraid she would say that.

He sighed out and released his grip on her chin.

“I’m sorry Caterina.” He confessed before driving off again. “I’ll take you home.”

Caterina retreated to the back of her mind, feeling really conflicted.

She loved him.

There was no doubt about it, she absolutely loved him— but she just couldn’t trust him. She was scared that if she finally let him in, he would leave her again as if she meant nothing.

She couldn’t survive that.

She didn’t want to survive that.

She just wished things could go back to how they used to be in the past— when they were both deeply in love and age didn’t matter because they were kids.

***FLASHBACK***

“Caterina, come on!” Rámon pulled her out into the forest of their back yard, running away from the guards who were supposed to be keeping an eye on them.

Rámon was twelve and Caterina had just turned eight. Their bond was unbreakable and their love even stronger.

Rámon pulled her through the forest until they came upon on an open field that was filled with daisies. They laid in the field together, still holding hands and basking in their young love.

The sun shined down on them while birds and butterflies flew above them. The scene was like a dream, but they were actually living it.

“Caterina?” Rámon called out to her with his shy voice.

“Yes Rámon?”

“Will you always love me?” He asked out to her, “Will you always love me and stay with me?”

“Of course Rámon. We will be together forever and nothing will ever tear us apart.” She squeezed his hand, reassuring him further.

Rámon smiled in happiness as he stared at her and how beautiful she was. “I’m gonna marry you one day Cat. I promise to make you the happiest girl alive and I promise to be the best husband because you deserve the best.”

Cat giggled and turned into him. She laid her head on his shoulder while enjoying this beautiful day with him.

“You already make me the happiest girl alive Rámon.”

Rámon’s heart swelled with pride. He kissed her forehead and relished in this beautiful moment.

“I love you Cat.”

“I love you too Rámon.”

***END OF FLASHBACK***

A single tear fell down Caterina’s cheek as she reminisced on the past. She wiped the tear quickly, not wanting Rámon to see.

She couldn’t help but feel childish for still being hung up on the past.

Was she stupid for still believing in childish promises?
