GIORGIOI pulled my hands towards the side, but I couldn’t hold onto anyone. It was as thought I was all alone on the damn bed, and that didn’t make me feel better one bit. I wished there would have been a way to handle the issues, and Katherine wouldn’t have to be sad, and loose sleep because of me. It broke me into a billion pieces and that was saying something. I couldn’t just stand how uptight everything was at this point.“Katherine?” I called out.Was she that mad at me because I had not helped with the whole celebrations? I wish not because I had no idea what I was going to do if that were to be the case. The whole problems was getting out of hand, and I just had to be sure that she was fine, and she knew that I would be able to make her feel more better as time went on. This was what was more important to me.I opened the door to the bathroom, but she wasn’t there. What the hell was going on? She never got out at this time, and we always talked about random things and made sil
GIORGIOThe lights were all out, and there was so much excitement in the mansion. Father had invited a couple of dignitaries to celebrate I and Katherine. It felt like there was something in the air that was stifling my excitement. I just couldn’t handle too many things at once, and I was worried about so many things, and what was at the fore was that, I would not be able to find out the truth before everything actually gets destroyed.I turned around and noted that Katherine was busy with a few guests, and she seemed to be so happy. Just as I was about to look away, I caught a glimpse of Mrs Bianca as she walked quickly behind dad.I had a hunch to follow her, and I did the same. She was trying her best to move fast and remain hidden and I had to be fast on my feet. There was a lot of things that needed to be handled and there was little time for that. I just wish that everything was good at the moment, and there was no more stress.But, I couldn’t afford to give into wishful thinkin
KATHERINEA lot had happened in a few years, and I was more grateful than I ever thought I would be 2 years ago, and that was something. Everything about the situation gave me so much joy, and it made me feel as though I could tell that my life was about to make more meaning than it would ever have in the long run.“Are you ready?” A maid queried.I nodded. “I’m ready.”Pulling my hair backwards, I tried to give it a breezy look. I had no idea if it were working or not, but things were really looking up at this point. I felt like I was living my best life, and all. It was just amazing what things could do to one. A quick look at the matter showed that I was looking so good. I wanted to stare at myself for a long time, and not do anything, but a certain someone was waiting for me downstairs. I grabbed my purse by the wall stand and made a move to the other side of the room. There was only one thing that made sense right now, and that was the fact that I was happy with my life. Everyt
When Giorgio stepped out of the car as soon as it drove into the enormous compound and pulled the door open for me to step out, I'd wanted nothing more than to slap his hand away, grab my overflowing white wedding dress and get out of this mess I'd knowingly put myself into. But I refrain from it. Because I'd agreed to do this and there was no turning back. I had reasons to do this.Taking a deep breath in and out, I'd taken his hand and let him lead me towards the house that looked part glass, part brick. It was almost impossible to believe that a house as large and beautiful as this existed anywhere around the world. This building is huge it almost seems like a fancy ass Moll that's just been opened in Hawaii. It's tall and well fitted on the ground. There's a large water fall following a pattern down the right end side of the building and I just wanted to stand there and watch it for as long as I could.But I'd pretended to smile up at Giorgio and walk into the house with him hand
TEN WEEKS EARLIER.I slumped down on my bed and shut my eyes tight, a big grin on my face. Finally. Finally I was countless miles away from home and I live in my own apartment and even have my own fucking bed!The loud sound of a car honking outside my window brings me back and my eyes flew open."Shit!" I rose up immediately. Elizabeth was still outside.Elizabeth was my 30 years old aunt. Elizabeth lived with us back in Virginia and she worked as a nurse at a downtown hospital. She was a beauty, blessed with raven black hair that was naturally wavy and the type of body curve girls below twenty five wished they had. You would hardly tell she was already thirty.Today was the day I resumed school at Cambridge university and to say I was excited was an understatement. My mother had some things she had to take care of back at home and my brother was still too young to drive me all the way here so Elizabeth offered to bring me. I didn't mind, she was a total vibe and I always enjoyed her
After a few more days, I realized I had all my classes with this same guy from the other day, whom I learnt his name was infact Georgio. He was always alone. He never really talked to anybody. Not until we had a group work and I got paired with him along with another guy called James.After that class, I'd thought that he was gonna come ask me about this group work but instead he disappeared, again. James and I came together and decided to meet at the school's library later in the day.Once it was the time, I was walking through the school and towards the library when I came across someone, forcing me to go into a stop. It was almost like he was standing there waiting for me, only coming out to block me as I got there.I looked up to find Georgio standing right in front of me."Hey Katherine" he knew my name? I don't even understand why my heart skipped a bit just now!"Uh....hi..what are you doing here?" I asked awkwardly."I'm here for the group assignment? James texted me" he repli
"hey!" A voice called and I looked up to see Giorgio leaning over me. I was seated at the library outside school, a little library which wiredly enough I found very relaxing to sit at and do my business. And now, I was tucked at the back seat, away from everybody, searching for a job vacancy on my computer."Hey," I managed a smile "what are you doing here?""Phoebe told me I could find you here" he replied, sitting in front of me. Did he just say he was looking for me?Making a wired face and slowly shutting my computer close, I replied "well hopefully I'm not in some trouble"His hand stops me before the laptop could close and he spun it around, peering into it. "You're looking to get a job on campus?" He asks, shock in his voice. And was that mockery?Angrily, I snatched my laptop from him and closed it "yes dumb ass. Got a problem with that?"He chuckles lightly and replied "listen you wanna get out of here? I was actually looking for you because I have something to show you"Well
Have you ever been in a situation where it feels like nothing about that moment makes sense, and you wish that that moment wasn't happening at the same point you wished it were all real? That was exactly what I felt as I watched Giorgio an arm's length away from me. I watched his eyes and his slightly parted lips and almost wanted to slap him. Because I saw all the confidence that emanated from his stares, the pride that sat on his shoulders as he watched me. Was he joking? Was he out of his mind or was this the newest way of saying "I wanna have sex with you?"His eyes dilated as they watched me. They moved as if they searched for the answer to his absurd question in my eyes.I hadn't realized he'd inched closer and placed a hand over my shoulder as I choked on the pepper in my mouth until I was fighting to get out of his grip and set the food down, rising up with all the energy I could muster."What the hell, Giorgio?" I asked, upset.He rises up immediately, his height towering ov

KATHERINEI had the best moments in life and I was really enjoying everything now with Giorgio being by my side and all. The tension with his dad was there, but still, he made sure that everything was good.I could see the efforts he was putting with helping me with things and so much more. I just couldn’t help but he happy for them all, and understand that this was my life now. Honestly, I have understood now that my life was meant to be this way from the scratch. I was meant to understand Giorgio and his excesses and be there for him at his weakest.Giorgio in turn helped me with bodyguards, and he was so kind as he made things clear to me. It was a moment of great reflection, and I was able to understand why things happened the way it did. It was for the good of us all, and I couldn’t change that for anything in the world.“Here,” Giorgio said softly. I turned lightly to him and noted that he was giving me an ice-cream. I pulled away from he balcony, and grabbed a couple of bites
GIORGIOI watched as Katherine’s father fidgeted lightly, and I could tell that he was majorly stressed up by the issue ongoing. There was so much stress around, but I really wanted to be there for sometime, and handle the problems that came up at all times. It was important to be able to get to the apex of the situation.“Dad, please answer us. Giorgio is right, there is something definitely wrong and we need to clarify the whole thing better so there would be no more problems. What is going on, dad?” Katherine stepped up.I looked at her and she nodded with her eyes, making me smile ever so lightly. Her dad finally heaved a sight, pulling our attention back to him. “The thing is, we have been receiving threats. It’s been so crazy and we don’t know how to handle half of the situations that cropped up. It is such a painful moment for us all, and things have to be handled better.” He said with a sight.I swallowed hard. “What threats?”He shook his head. “They are in form of letters,
GIORGIOThere were things that were moving too fast, and I could tell that there would be more trouble around. We’ve finally settled into the house, and there was a whole lot of things that had to be done when things when we caught father talking with someone, who had a sketchy attitude. I wished I could be able to find out exactly who the person was, but it was so hard to do.Katherine also tried to find the man who was with dad, but to no avail. I decided to do some private investigations while remaining true to myself. There was so many things that needed to be clarified at this point, and I had to handle everything like I had seen so far.I and Katherine tried to move on, though I kept my eyes on the situation, by asking some persons to investigate the man. They were people that I could trust. I didn’t like the way some of the issue came up. It was a pain for me, and I felt like everything was getting slightly destroyed, but I had no idea if I was paranoid or not.Then, one evenin
KATHERINEThere was something about Giorgio that had shifted since I agreed to come home with him a week ago. I have no idea if I was crazy, but he was also very persuasive. There was no way I could be able to ignore the whole feeling. I was so insanely aware of him, and I didn’t know if it were a good thing or a bad thing since he had done nothing, but cause me much grieve. I would have to find that out by myself though. I was willing to take a risk, irrespective of the repercussions to get where I needed to be.My hands lightly twisted in my hands as I waited for the horrors to go. Maybe, I was back home, but I wasn’t shielded from the horrors of Isabella’s death. Giorgio had advised me to stand strong and do all I had to do to get better. It was a difficult advice to follow through, considering how tense the whole situation could be.The door pulled open and cold air filtered through the room. I didn’t turn back to see. I honestly could careless n this situation what actually happe
GIORGIOI only knew one thing, and that was there were moments when things happened and we believe we could get better, and there were moments when we were completely devastated and we couldn’t pull ourselves together. I didn’t want my situation to be like the latter and I knew that I had to do everything I can to make sure that it doesn’t become the case. It seems like a hard pull to swallow, but I was going to try to be better, and get my wife back home. Phoebe had informed me that Katherine had gotten a new device. In order for their friendship not to get ruined by me, I did all I can, not to collect the new number from her. It would not be helpful, and I didn’t want that.Now, I knew where she lived, it would be best for me to go there on my own and check her out. I would be able to know what exactly is going on with that attitude of mine, and not blame anyone for what was happening. It was easy to apportion blame, but harder to admit that you fucked up big time.This was one of
KATHERINE“Don’t do that please.Don’t kill yourself! Don’t shoot… No!” I screamed.I felt as thought someone was shaking me and I opened my eyes in fright. Mother had her eyes tuned to me, and she was so nervous about everything that she was doing. I guess I was nervous too when I thought about it, and that made me feel some sort of way,“Mom?” I asked as though I was not sure of what I was seeing.“It’s the same nightmare again, right?” She asked softly.I smiled lightly and tried to look away, but she steered my gaze to her ever so lightly. Her eyes were filled with worry as hey looked on at me, and I was sad that I was the one that made it so. Though, I wished she wouldn’t try to come between Giorgio and I.“Answer me, dear,” she said softly.I shook my head. “It doesn’t matter mom. I haven’t been able to handle most of the situation and I don’t like that. Try to understand where I’m coming from right now. It would make me feel better if we could make things better for us, and not
