Billionaire Blood

chapter 13 - the nightmare

KATERINA MORALES NÉE SOLDANO

I took a quick shower and changed while Dante waited in our dining area. I got into a oversized cream Ralph Lauren shirt and blue jeans. I walked out and Dante got up. He was wearing a dark blue button down and grey shorts.

Dante had called Sara to organise a boat and lunch for us. We walked Athena and Ares to the lake and there waiting for us was The Susanna. She was magnificent. Pure white sails soared 30 ft into the sky. On the deck, out laid was our lunch and a few bottles of champagne.

"Holy shit... she's beautiful," I exclaimed while gripping the wheel.

Once everyone settled down, I took hold of the wheel and eased away from the pier. I then steered us near the middle of the lake and moored it. The tranquil and glassy looking water reflected the sun onto me. I heard the gentle lapping of the waves as I took in the smell of salty air. I got rid of my jeans and changed into some shorts.

I walked back to the picnic where Dante was. With a pop the bottle of champagne was open and droplets of the liquid gold dripped down. I slipped a raspberry in my mouth and went to lay back on the deck with a glass of champagne.

"Being rich is so fun," I mumbled with a sigh as my eyes slowly closed.

I don't know how much time passed but I woke suddenly feeling some sort of liquid on me. I opened my eyes and saw Dante hovering over me with a bottle of champagne in my face.

"Surprise bitch," he smirked.

Before I knew it, champagne sprayed into my face and ran down my shirt.

"Fuck you Morales!" I yelled trying not to choke on the champagne going down my throat.

I got up and pushed him away while I heard him laughing. It hurt like hell to open my eyes but I needed to get him back. I walked up to the dick who was still howling with laughter and shoved him in the water. I then took the wheel with my eyesight already half gone and slowly sailed away.

"Solando... Come back! Fucking hell don't leave me here! Katerina please... Fuck you!"

I chuckled as I heard his pleading. At this point the boat was 80 metres away from him so I walked around to the back and sat on the edge, while Dante swam up to me with ease. He really could've gone pro if it weren't for the mafia. I looked behind me to make sure Athena and Ares were still behaving, which they were but when I turned again, Dante had disappeared.

Shit, where did he go? Fuck he's probably goin-

I felt a hand on my ankle and then someone dragging me below water.

That fucker had pulled me into the water too.

The ice cold water shocked me to my core as the previous heat from the sun escaped. I heard the faint barks of my dogs wondering where the hell I went. I opened my eyes underwater and Dante was still holding onto my ankle smirking at me. I kicked him and swam up to bring my head above water. A couple seconds after he appeared laughing so I punched him in the face.

"Ah fuck what was that for?"

"I don't know... maybe spraying champagne into my eyes and pulling me underwater?"

He just rolled his eyes and started to get up onto the deck. He quickly jumped back into the water as Athena and Ares barked and growled at him. I got up and shrugged at him.

"Katerina tell your dogs to quit it," he yelled.

"Sorry Dante, no can do," I said walking back to the front of the boat.

He quickly swam to the front and tried getting on there but my dogs were too quick.

I lay back down from where Dante rudely interrupted me and closed myself off from Dante's pleads.
