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

GIORGIOFather’s eyes literally bulged out of his eyes at the information that I just shared to him. I frowned slightly. When did he care about Katherine so much? Maybe, that wasn’t the issue, but something else was nagging at him.“And, you’re just telling me this?” He snapped.I shrugged. “I have gone to the police. They would handle everything over there, so there is obviously nothing to worry about anymore. Everything would be fine,” he said tersely.“Shut up!” He snapped at once.I stared at him in shock. I hated it so much when he did this. “I don’t know what the fuck is going on, but I like to think that I deserve a bit of respect. My fiancé is the one that is missing and I did what I can, so what the fuck are you upset about?” I snapped.Father dragged what was left of his head, and spewed curses from his mouth. The man was so weird, and the strangest person I have ever met, and that was saying something. I honestly didn’t understand him half the time, but there was no way I w
Hate, Terms and Conditions Chapter 41
GIORGIOI have holed myself in my room for 24 hours, smoking like I was a chimney. I had no idea what to do, and I didn’t have the courage to face Katherine’s family. It was a freaking mess, and I didn’t want that right now.I could literally hear them asking questions about what was going to happen, and how would they handle some certain things, and it only made me sick to my stomach. I closed my eyes tight, placing my cigarette between my lips as I pushed out smoke like a maniac. Yes, I was like a maniac!Fuck!I let the smoke slide into my stream, and slowly lowered the stick, as the vapour pulled around my mouth. I honestly needed to stop smoking, but how could I do that when everything was coming down on me, hard.The lies… Katherine was in no resort, but I wished that was true, so I would actually know where she was right now. I wouldn’t have to worry that her family might send me to jail if anything were to happen to her. I just don’t know what I would have done if things go o
Hate, Terms and Conditions Chapter 42
KATHERINEThe amount of relief I felt as at this moment was so intense. Giorgio had come. He was here in the flesh, and nothing was going to happen to me now. I was fine. I was free to go. He would protect me, and make me feel good. I was positive that everything was going to be fine with him. There would be more stress and horror.“You came,” I said breathless.He looked at me dizzily, and I gulped back the tears that threatened to fall. His fingers slowly slid through my cheek, and my heart involuntarily skipped a beat. Was he this worried about me? I knew that he had taken quite good care of me for sometime now, but if felt strange to see that he was really shaken.“I had to come. It will be fine. No-one is going to hurt you now,” he said softly.At that moment, he untied the ropes, and whisked me up. I felt a bit nauseous, but clung to him hard. His hands were firm, and it made me feel safe. Safer than I would have cared to admit. I licked my patched lips, and followed through wit
Hate, Terms and Conditions Chapter 43
KATHERINEWe arrived at the Mahone’s mansion after getting a couple of things from the high society. It amazed me that I would be able to shop at such places. I also tried to make do of what I could find at Walmart previously, without breaking a bank. But, now, everything has changed.To add to this, it felt like Giorgio was a different man while shopping. He cracked jokes, and bought things that we didn’t even need. This was one of the reason, we got back home with four bags, three for me, and one for him.“Thanks for today, Giorgio. You didn’t need to buy so much things,” I mumbled.He frowned lightly, as he called one of the maid to take the bags to our respective rooms. Next, he dragged me over to the balcony. I blinked in shock at the assertiveness he used to drag me here. What could be the matter?“What is happening, Giorgio?” I asked calmly.He turned to me, and slowly rose his fingers to trace my hair. I blinked in shock at the display. It was unlike Giorgio, and I had no idea
Hate, Terms and Conditions Chapter 44
KATHERINEMr Williams words replayed in my head and I swallowed the lump in my throat. Before I could react, Giorgio turned my face to his, and kissed me squarely on the lips. It was a brush of lips per se, but it left me flustered.This was the second time, he would kiss me. I released a hand on my glass and pressed on his chest. It helped to still my heartbeat, and make me realise that we weren’t alone.“Wow!” The sound of Mr Williams voice made me draw back. I found that I couldn’t look at anyone in the eyes. I was dying of embarrassment, or was it shyness? It was hard to figure it out. Giorgio pulled my hair behind my ears, and I gasped in shock.“Thanks, dad,” he said softly.Then, he rose to his feet, and both father and son had a firm handshake with a slap on the back. I couldn’t help to look at my family who were so quiet since the announcement. If I didn’t know better, I wouldn’t even think they were important part of the guests.Mom had a puzzled expression her face, and I

KATHERINEIt’s been a week, but it seemed like it was 10 years. Ok, maybe, I was exaggerating for a bit, but who cares. The fact of the matter was that this whole wedding procession was getting too much to handle. It was too intense.I was only grateful for the fact mother or any of my family members weren’t around to witness this, or I would be forced to act more than I had been doing already. I knew without a pinch of doubt that it would literally make me relapse into silence at some point, and that was not a good thing.“Turn around dear,” one of the women, I was thinking Mrs Isabel, a tailor, poked me with some needles and threads as she tried to find out how tiny my waist was.I had the urge to tell her to use the tape. It was faster, and more accurate. But, it seemed like she hadn’t gotten over the medieval way of doing things. Well, Mr Williams trusted her explicits with my wedding gown, and the other dresses I would be wearing in the marriage procession.Sometimes, I wondered
Hate, Terms and Conditions Chapter 46
GIORGIOThere was something about Katherine, it was her spontaneity. But, right now, it was nonexistent. Did I care? Not a hoot!The only thing that was important to me was the subtlety we had to use to convince father about it all. Katherine had informed me that my passivity wasn’t helping her. The thing is that, I wasn’t exposed to the whole wedding celebrations, and dad wasn’t actually making it easier for me. He literally flunked Katherine with beauticians, designers and hair stylists. It was so crazy. If one didn’t know better, they would think that Katherine was getting married to him, and not me.At first, I was pissed by the whole thing, but slowly I started to realise that if I were to make dad see that I was madly in love with Katherine, I would like to whisk her off when no-one was around, he would come around. This must have been some sort of test for dad. I was slightly annoyed that I had not seen this earlier, and it took Katherine’s words for me to do so.This was my 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
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,

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
