Hate, Terms and Conditions Chapter 18
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

21KATHERINEIt’s been a week since I left the hostel to stay with my family. I had no idea what I was going to be doing, or the type of sacrifice I might be making. All I knew was that I was going to make the biggest decision of my life. Now, I was back in campus, and I didn’t know what to do with my life. I lay in bed in shock. Mother’s word kept coming into my head. I knew I had to do something, but the question was what could I actually do. There was so much that was ongoing now, and I couldn’t go back.Mother didn’t seem to buy into my story of love, and I had no idea what to do about it. I wished I could be able to be more convincing, but I wasn’t. There was only one thing that made sense. I was successfully going down. I was not the same woman that I wanted to be, and something was remarkably wrong.Giorgio had turned out to be one of the biggest mistakes in my life, and I had no idea what I was going to do to rectify the issue. I wanted nothing more but for things to get bett

KATHERINEI realised it was too late to push my hair on top of my head. I wish it wasn’t though because it seemed like Giorgio was breathing down on my neck. I swear, he hasn’t stop staring at me since we got to class. It was creepy.Ok, no, it wasn’t creepy. It was intense. I felt like my whole body was attuned to him, and I was like a puppet. It was crazy to think that way, but honestly, I couldn’t help it because if he snapped his fingers in any form, I would actually go with him.I was that crazy for him right now, and that was saying something. Oh! Fuck!“Katherine, can I sit down here?” One of my course-mates queried.I shrugged. “Yes, you can,” I said quickly.The sooner I said those words, Giorgio was already shoving her aside. The girl glared at him, obviously offended by how he was reacting.“Giorgio, you can’t just…”“Hey, you can sit down on my seat till the end of the class,” he said absently.The girl muttered something under her breath, but went ahead to do as Giorgio i
Hate, Terms and Conditions Chapter 23
KATHERINEI swallowed hard as I looked at the man. I had no idea who he was to Giorgio, and I honestly hoped that Giorgio didn’t dally with the likes of him. It wouldn’t be good on him. Despite my worry, I leaned closer to Giorgio like he was able to protect me from the man.“Is there a problem?” Giorgio queried.I looked right at Giorgio, who was oblivious that I was looking at him. It was evident that he didn’t know what was going on. I turned back to the thief. I wondered absently if he was planning to steal again.“I was wondering if you could tell me where the psychology lab was,” he said.I tuned out of the conversation as Giorgio gave directions. Within minutes the thief was on his way. I sighed as I straightened myself. It was in these moments, I was grateful that I didn’t have to be alone. Giorgio was there to protect me. But, still, why had the man called him boss?Giorgio made a move to go forward, but I stopped him. He looked at me inquisitively as my hand rested on his ar

KATHERINEI rushed into the ICU with Giorgio hot on my tails. I was so worried about what mother told me last night about father. She had kept chanting that father was unstable despite all I did to make her talk to me. It was just so sad, and I was confused.“Mom?” I asked immediately I saw a figure in oversized T-shirt and jeans standing by the door, flanked by Aunt Elizabeth and my brother.The three pairs of eyes turned to me. I ran over to mother without thinking and hugged her hard. She was literally shaking in my hands and that made me feel so bad. I held her hard afraid she might shatter like glass if I let her go.“I’m sorry to intrude, but I need to tell you that time is running out to stabilise Mr Vellet,” a new voice announced.I reluctantly released mother and saw a man on a regular doctor getup with a stethoscope thrown around his shoulders. He looked grim, and I imagined he was a death reaper, and that made me shook. I needed to stop with the imaginations. It was making
Hate, Terms and Conditions Chapter 25
KATHERINEI used a hair pin to push my hair up. A few of it slid through my neck and face, but the rest was thankfully packed. If I could cut my hair I would have done it, but that would give mother a scare.Plus, I doubt if Giorgio would appreciate his future wife shaving off all her hair.With a sigh, I poured more creamy milk into my bowl of cereal. A quick dinner is what this was and then, I would go to bed. It was the life of a student. I barely had time to make edible food here with all that has been going on.“I pray all these works out at the end,” I muttered to the empty room.These days, I was beginning to doubt that Phoebe shared this room with me. She was barely home, and I didn’t like it at all. Whoever she was sharing her time with had to bring her back to me because I’m beginning to go out of my mind in boredom.With another weary sigh, I poured some water into my cereal. This should be nice at least. Just when I was about to take a spoonful of cereal into my drooling mo

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,
Hate, Terms and Conditions Chapter 118
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
Hate, Terms and Conditions Chapter 116
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
