Hate, Terms and Conditions Chapter 24
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

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

WILLIAMSI paced the length and breadth of the living room, slamming my hand repeatedly on my palm. The pain was enough to keep the anxiety at bay, but I was beyond worried about the whole issue that was coming up. Did the bastard take the damn money?If I knew who he was, I would easily have him killed, but his lack of identity made that very difficult. And, he seemed to have his eyes everywhere making it difficult for me to sniff him out. I had to do all I can now, and I knew that failure to bring the bastard to light would cost me so much. He must have seen me as a bank manager right now, and that annoyed me so much.My phone buzzed in the pocket of my suit. I snatched it quickly, and slid the call button. I knew it was him.“You did so well. I have gotten the money, and I would live you for a time,” he said simply.“But…”The line went dead. I stifled a scream. I hated this nonsense so much. He didn’t even let me talk, and calling him back was not an option. Damn it! This can’t be
Hate, Terms and Conditions Chapter 27
KATHERINEGiorgio stared laughing coldly like the other men behind me, and my heart skipped a beat. What was all these now? I really hoped he wasn’t a sadist. No! Maybe, he was much worse. It could be that he was a murderer. Yes, that should be it!My hands shook in fright, and I wondered how I was going to get out of this. I should have told him to stop, and let me go, but my tongue stopped functioning, and all I could do was shake like a leaf in front of him. I wasn’t enjoying that one bit.Suddenly, his laughter changed from being cold and evil to being sarcastic. I had no idea how he managed to pull that up. Did he think it was funny to put me in this condition? He knew about my family, and still, he wished me death. Who does this?“What’s all this?” I stammered out.He used the knife edges to caress my cheeks, and I tried to draw back, and realised that the other wall of knives were behind me. I had to be careful now, or God knows what would happen to me. The fear was so intense
Hate, Terms and Conditions Chapter 28
GIORGIOWhat was I doing here?Oh, I knew what exactly what I was doing here. I was trying to see if I could find Katherine. I placed my hands deep into the pocket of my brown bootleg pants, and tried to muster up the courage to get into her hostel.I know it would be easier to just call her to come down to meet me, but I couldn’t just do it. No matter how much I brought the phone out of my wallet, I ended up putting it back in. I needed to do this in person because I would just chicken out if I did otherwise.“Hey, man,” one of the students living in the block greeted me easily.I tipped my head down in greeting. It’s funny how these people still knew it was me despite my face cap. I guess there was no hiding when it came to my face. Ugh! Focus! I looked around the parameters, hoping I could find a glimpse of her, but I found nothing. She wasn’t here, and it would only do good to step into the aras so I can find out where she was exactly.“Giorgio, you are looking for a woman, right?
Hate, Terms and Conditions Chapter 29
GIORGIOMy veins almost popped out of my hands, considering how tight I was groping onto he steering wheel. There was no joy in most things that I normally enjoyed right now. All I felt was an unending pitch of sadness, and it was driving me insane. I didn’t think that I had gotten used to Katherine like this, but I guess it happened.I shook my head fiercely.No!That wasn’t the case. I just needed her to be safe so I could marry her and get back my properties. That was the most important thing to me, and without that, I was completely clueless. Yes, that should be it.The terrain was suddenly steep. It had not been like this when I got Katherine to her father. Phoebe should be right. Maybe, something came up with her father, and that’s why she had rushed over to meet the family without informing anyone.It was the only explanation that kept me grounded. I couldn’t think of any other thing. Giving way to another thought meant something crazy had happened and I would never even entert
Hate, Terms and Conditions Chapter 30
GIORGIOThe whole process was like a breeze. I hardly understood what was happening, but was just going through the norms. The stench of alcohol mixed with dirt was harsh in this part of the alley. I watched breezily as the police and paramedics whizzed Katherine into the ambulance in a rush. The police officers asked me a few questions, and I answered as breezily as ever. I couldn’t remember what I was saying or the questions. I only wanted it to end. In between running after the ambulance like a man possessed, Caroline and Phoenix decided to pull up.Fuck!I had even forgotten about them. Accidents like this messed with the head. They were shaking profusely, and asking me what had happened, but I couldn’t bring myself to respond. All I wanted was to be with Katherine at that very moment.I think I told them to come behind while I drove in with Katherine. I really couldn’t remember much because it was like I was in a state of comatose, but ever single part of me was functioning as i
Hate, Terms and Conditions Chapter 31
KATHERINEThe look on Giorgio’s face was enough to make me feel a tad bit guilty. He looked kind of pitiful, and it was not in a good way. I never imagined he would feel bad about it. Or, maybe, he was simply worried that his inheritance is attached to me.I sighed as he took several steps backwards, and finally walked out of the room, closing the door firmly behind him. The nurse asked a couple of questions about my health, and I responded slowly. Finally, she walked out of the room too, leaving me all alone.I stared at the oats in my hands, and in a forceful manner ate almost half of it. The whole thing was not working like it should, and I needed to understand what to do to make things better, but I couldn’t think much.“Oh, Lord,” I mumbled.I took another spoonful of oats, and in frustration tossed it to the other side of the draw. It made an ear-piercing sound, but didn’t tumble down the floor though. I really hoped that things would get better now, but it was hard to believe i

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
Hate, Terms and Conditions Chapter 122
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
Hate, Terms and Conditions Chapter 120
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
Hate, Terms and Conditions Chapter 119
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
Hate, Terms and Conditions Chapter 117
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
