Hate, Terms and Conditions Chapter 32
GIORGIOIt is so intense when things happens like this, but thankfully I have given Katherine a teensy bit of assurance that none of this would repeat itself. I was going to be a hopeless romantic in front of the world. It was something that I could easily do, though the part of staying away from girls would be a bit difficult, but I was no fool. The whole drama would be believable if I didn’t have a scandal attached to me. At least, till I got married, I needed to make my old man feel that I was madly in love. His thoughts were crooked, and it was important to keep it under wraps. I itched my hair slightly as I stepped into the house. The whole place was dreadfully quiet. It has been this way for as long as I could remember. And, I didn’t expect anything less from it. It was one of the reasons I needed to get my inheritance quickly, so I can move out of this hell house. It would be a breath of fresh air if my plans workout.With a sigh, I strolled over to dad’s room. His voice had

KATHERINEHis lips was all I thought about thought out the lectures. I couldn’t really believe that he could do that in public. Maybe, it was a way to makeup for how he reacted to me, but every part of my body had come alive because of that one kiss. Giorgio’s eyes peered into mine, and I literally choked on the cookies that was still in my mouth. The cookies that he had given me with love. I felt if he didn’t care for me one bit, he wouldn’t have chosen me for this. I mean, you can’t sign a deal like marriage with someone you can’t stand. That is suicide, and it was not done.“Shall we?”I stared at him dumbly as he leaned across my desk. I knew some of the students were looking right at us, and a few girls were glaring at me like it was all my fault that their lives were not as they wanted it to be. It took me a moment to realise that I had just imagined the kiss like it had happened again. Fuck! I had to get a grip of myself. Giorgio was still looking at me like he wanted me to d

WILLIAMSThe cold of the phone was slowly seeping into my bloodstream as I gripped it harder. I was so upset about the way things were playing out, but the recent turn of events had made things worse for me. The more I tried to hide things, the more it rapidly went out of hand, and I didn’t like it one bit. It’s like I have lost the ability to control things.It was so annoying.I dragged my legs out of my room, and stepped into the hall. These days, I was also staying at home too much. It was meant to give a sort of impression to Giorgio, but I doubt if he was even paying attention to what I was doing.If my enemies finally caught me, I don’t think being in the house almost all the time would change anything. I had no idea what was the best step now, but I would find out. But, there was one thing that needed to be done.Stepping out of the house, two of my most trusted men stepped off the car hood, and came over to meet me. They were both rugged, and dressed in dark leather. It would

KATHERINEAunt’s hands on my arm pulled me back to consciousness. I was so aware of the question, and the answer to it was elusive. I tried hard to regain my composure. If I kept acting like this, then everyone would find out that I didn’t really care about Giorgio, and I wouldn’t have that.“I’m sorry if my question rattled you, but I had to ask,” Aunt said calmly.I smiled tightly. “It’s fine. I wasn’t just expecting it, that’s all. I know you have to be curious since you found out…”“Exactly,” she said calmly as she retracted my hand from her arm. “I don’t want you to make a mistake. This is why I need to know if you love the young man.”I licked my suddenly dry lips, and slowly placed the mug on the banister while supporting it with both hands. “I do love Giorgio,” I said quietly.“You sound so unsure of yourself.”I looked at Aunt Elizabeth sharply. I didn’t like how closely she was looking into my words. “I’m not unsure of myself in the least. I know I want to spend my life with

KATHERINEMother’s words were laced with ice to me. I don’t know if I was getting paranoid, or if my anxiety was getting to me, but I was definitely of the impression that she didn’t mean anything good right now. She was definitely upset with me, or looking for a means to make me feel worse than I felt before. It was definitely that.“I’m talking to you, right?” She asked stiffly.I sighed as I stepped closer. George didn’t make a move to where we were, but he didn’t leave either. I could also see Aunt Elizabeth stepping out of the kitchen to see what the fuse was all about. It was the norm in our household on a normal day.“I’m coming,” I managed.The little distance to her felt like a mile, but I was finally at her side. She tapped on the seat closest to her, for me to sit down. I sighed slightly as I did as I was told. Her eyes barely left the picture she held in her hand.“Do you see this picture?” She managed calmly.I swallowed lightly, not knowing where this talk was headed. “I

GIORGIOThe food looked appetising enough. I mean, it was meat roll and spaghetti spiked with carrot sauce. I know, it’s a weird food mixture, but man, if you ate this, it was like pure haven. The chefs did a lot to make sure that it all came out nice. I couldn’t have asked for more. But, still, I couldn’t get over my irritation.I rose my brow at my father sitting across from me. This whole family dinner was not making me feel good, but it was one of the fake changes I had suddenly undergone to fool the old man. But, I didn’t wish to continue the facade for much longer. We were not the ideal family, so I saw no use faking that part of us like we were actors in a theatre. It was just completely unnecessary and annoying to say the least, and I was not impressed by it one bit. I took a fork-full of spaghetti into my mouth. I resisted the urge to moan as the spices exploded in my mouth.“Good day, Mr Williams,” a cold voice sounded behind us.I watched as father grabbed a napkin beside

KATHERINEI tossed the keys at the other side of the room, and almost screamed as a force knocked me sideways. “Whoa!” I said, breathlessly.I slowly pulled back, and rolled my eyes at Phoebe who was looking at me like she couldn’t believe I was right in front of her. Ok, she was getting weird. Carefully, I walked past her, and slumped down on the bed. I was too tired to indulge her melodramatic ways.“You’re here,” she said in disbelief.I rolled my eyes. “I don’t know what’s up with you, but where else would I be at this moment?” She scoffed. “I don’t know. We went half-crazy looking for you. You weren’t even picking our calls or texts. I mean, who does that?” She asked.It was then I felt something close to regret. Damn! I had forgotten to tell them about my movements, and considering what had happened the last time, it was only normal for them to feel like I had gotten into trouble.“Oops!” I said calmly.It was her turn to roll her eyes at me. I tried to give a sheepish smile, b
Hate, Terms and Conditions Chapter 39
GIORGIOFor the last 48 hours, I have been going half-crazy. I wasn’t so sure of what I was doing anymore, and a lump kept forming in my throat. I have lost count of how many times I had lit my cigarettes. It was crazy how time spanned when things were going out of control.There was nothing I wanted more than for Katherine to walk back home. It seemed like it had been weeks since we discussed the family outing. It felt so weird for her to vanish that way, and I wasn’t so sure I understood it. No, it wasn’t something that could be understood.Something was wrong.Katherine had promised to call whenever she would leave the house for more than 24 hours, but she had not. She left for school according to Phoebe, and never got there. This attitude of sleeping leaving for days before we found her was getting on my last nerves. It was not like her at all. It was the most distressing thing ever.Since I asked her to marry me, it felt like she had thrown caution to the wind, and did as she pl

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
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,

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
