Hate, Terms and Conditions Chapter 13
KATHERINEI swallowed the lump in my throat. Oh, what did we do wrong? Slowly, I turned to Giorgio, and I noted the look of confusion on his face. It was evident that he was as shocked as I was. We both didn’t understand what was going on.In the little time that I had turned to Giorgio, his father had crossed the space that separated us. He pulled me closer to him, and hugged me hard. I didn’t know when I expelled the breath I had been holding. What type of joke was this?He pulled me back. “Oh, my goodness! Your face had been priceless,” he said as he lunched into a cackle.I shook my head. So, it had been a joke? Damn! The fact that I didn’t realise this at first made it hilarious. I had lost had a heart attack thinking that he had figured out the truth about our deception. That wouldn’t have been funny one bit.I turned towards Giorgio, and he shrugged.“Dad, that was not funny,” he said with a sigh.His father laughed in response. It was evident that the man believed that it was

KATHERINEI laid on my bed, holding my psychology handout, but I couldn’t read through anything. This was not going well. I tossed the book by the side and sighed. What am I going to do now? Maybe, browse through the internet, while listening to songs that fit my recent predicament. That song should be from Ariana Grande’s archives. Yep! With that, I pulled my phone out from under the table. Next, I looked for my earpiece, which was tangled with my sports bra at the side of the pillow. I cringed. Ok, I wasn’t this careless on a normal day. I switched on my phone, and saw numerous messages from the school group chat. Wait, it was 5000 messages. What the hell? Was there an uproar or something? It was not like the group to be so active. Out of curiosity, I clicked on it, and I kept seeing RIP. Who died?Clicking on one of the messages so I could find out who she was typing to, I stared gobsmacked at the screen. This wasn’t possible, or was it? Antonio was dead? Wait, I just saw him ye

KATHERINEThe fuck!I literally choked on my ice-cream. My eyes shot to Aunt Elizabeth. Did she know that it was me? I really hoped not because that would be completely awful for me. There was no way I was going to let her find out the truth. Lying wasn’t right, but I couldn’t open my ass outside either. I wasn’t ready for anyone to know about my situation-ship with Giorgio.I lowered my spoon down, and tried to show how shocked I was. “Come aunt, I literally choked on my ice-cream. Who told you that?” I asked calmly.Aunt Elizabeth scooped a spoonful of ice-cream, and licked it. “Well,” she started as she scooped more. “It’s just you, your mom and me that knows about the bill, and exact amount. Since neither of us got the money, I thought that the next person who could have helped is you. It may have been a reach, but students always have their way in things like this.” She said calmly.I shook my head. “Did you hear that? I’m a student aunt, and if it wasn’t for you, it would be dif

KATHERINEI stared at the lecturer, not really understanding anything that was being said. My mind was in the kiss I had shared with Giorgio. He had been so sure, and gentle. It had been the best kiss I had ever had in my life thought I didn’t respond to him. It was so strange that I felt like that about a kiss I shared with him, but I honestly couldn’t help the way I felt.“Ok, it’s time for pairings. As you may have known me now, I don’t let you pair with your friends. I would handpick your partners by myself, and everything would be in order. The project would be to find out the molecular properties of carbon as it affects the environment. It’s to be submitted to the class rep in 2 weeks time,” the chemistry lecturer informed them.I inwardly groaned, and without meaning to, my eyes slid over to where Giorgio sat with a pen in-between his lips. My lips had being in-between those lips last night. I shook my head hard. This wasn’t the time to dwell on rubbish thoughts.Giorgio only t
Hate, Terms and Conditions Chapter 17
KATHERINEI looked around the parameters, worried about the reactions that the students would have. I could saw of them looking shocked, or gloating in jealousy. A few actually didn’t care. A horn sounded, and I looked back at the car. Giorgio was wild. There was no two ways about it. He wasn’t ok. The things he did were just for the sake of bringing attention, and he definitely knew how to bring that attention to the table.“Are you coming or not?” He asked calmly.I gulped. Without thinking, I opened the passenger seat, but he slammed the door shut. He wanted me to go to the front seat. Oh, dear! People were looking at us, and I wanted to run away out of worry. It was so insane when things like this happened. Oh, it has never happened to me before and this was my damn first.I quickly stepped into the car, and Giorgio drove off without a care in the world. He was so hyper and completely thorough at that moment, and I was so nervous at the speed he was going.“Slow down,” I managed.

KATHERINE“She loves you so much?” I asked without thinking.Giorgio gave me a cold look. I didn’t care, I was so pissed. Who could he be talking with? A girl, probably! I couldn’t take the fact that he wanted me to marry him, and still he went about chasing other girls. Like, who does that?“Answer my question, damn it! You are with some other woman.” I snapped.He slowly moved closer to me while looking at me dead in the eye. Despite how angry I was, I took a step back. Giorgio’s eyes pierced into mine, making me gulp. I resisted the urge to push him backwards. I mustn’t loose focus.“Katherine, get one think straight into your thick skull. We are in an arranged marriage, and there are not true feelings between us. You have no right to tell me who I date, and how I would go about it,” he snapped at me.The force in which he spoked to me shook me hard. I couldn’t comprehend the pain that I felt with his actions, but I tried to have some control over my emotions. It wasn’t worth it. I

KATHERINE Oh my goodness! This wasn’t really happening. I couldn’t allow anything to happen to Phoebe. I placed my hands on her cheeks trying hard to give her strength. I could tell that she was in so much pain, and it hurt me that she was like this. Phoebe was literally panting at this point, and her hands grasped mine, trying hard to stabilise herself, but it was proving to be off. I didn’t know what I could do to make her feel more better. “Please, Phoebe, you have to stay with me,” I cried softly. But, even as I said that, I was aware that she was literally panting at that point. She was not herself at all, and I was really scared for her. What should I do now? I couldn’t just watch her get hurt. I had to do something. I had to protect her in some way. But, how? Then, it clicked to me that I could call the ambulance. I have to be calm. Her grip was slowly loosening, and I had no option but to let her slide down to the floor. I would have to do something to make sure that thin

KATHERINE “You were so amazing last night. Thank you so much for being there for me. If you weren’t there, I have no idea what would have happened to me,” Phoebe said softly. I pulled my bag closer to me as we walked the school arena. I was glad that I was able to be the best person for Phoebe. There was so much depth to her that I had not known before. As our suede shoes tapped on the concrete slab, I couldn’t help but think about how much things has changed between us. It was so amazing. “It’s alright, Phoebe. I’m grateful to you for trusting me with this. I know that it may have been hard for you to make this decision, and I’m really grateful for it. You won’t have any cause to be sad anymore. Whenever things are going bad for you, always remember you need to do all you can to be happy. It’s going to be alright,” I said calmly. Phoebe touched me on the arm, at the same time, I was pulled away from her. I gasp in shock, and on instinct, my eyes went to the stranger. It was none o

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

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
Hate, Terms and Conditions Chapter 121
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

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
