KATHERINEIt was as though the fights that happened between I and Giorgio had never happened. He was more attentive than ever, by taking me shopping. We bought so many things, and at one point, I got worried that we were going to finish the whole money. Though, Giorgio didn’t think this, he simply bought even more things.We took pictures in some of those places to make it seem like we were having the time of our lives. I knew it was all a facade, and I wasn’t fooled one bit. No matter what, Giorgio could never make me feel better.What he had done the last few days broke me right in my heart, no matter how much he tried to whitewash the matter. Though, I kept telling myself that it didn’t matter what he did. I didn’t care, and since it was a fake marriage, it was best to live my own life without thinking of what he was feeling.The days had passed so quickly that I was even grateful, yet anxious about starting the new life. I would have to go back to the states for that life to spira
KATHERINEHis hands were literally holding me so tight, and I believed he was drunk out of his mind, and that was what made the whole thing much worse. I had no idea how someone could be this mean, and fowl. It was so unfair on many counts, but it seemed like he didn’t care about my feelings at all, and that made me slightly hurt.I tried to shove him away, but he held me tighter.“Kitty, we would be made,”he said firmly.I glared at him. Giorgio placed a cigarette in his mouth as he blew a chain of smoke. I used that opportunity to leave at once. I shoved him, and his hands gave way. I quickly shot to my feet, putting a distance between us.“What is wrong with you?” I cried.He grinned as he smoked even harder. “Nothing, what should be wrong?” He asked innocently.I hated him for this. It was evident that he didn’t think that he was wrong, by acting the way he did, and that made me a bit sad. I really don’t understand what was wrong with him. I just didn’t get how someone who used to
KATHERINE“You were?” His father asked in confusion.I smiled stiffly, feeling like the hit of Mr Williams question, I tried to stick to the brightness I had infused to my face. It walked like charm, and he seemed to calm down. He smiled back at me, like he used to when I was at the family mansion.“Yes,” I said.“I wish you would call me dad,” he said simply.“But…” I tried to argue, but he shut me off with one of his looks.Mr Williams turned to his son. “I hope you’re not stressing her?” I looked away. If only you knew how much your son has infuriated me since the morning of our nuptial night, you would understand that I wish to have nothing to do with him, but unfortunately, there is not much else that I can do today. I can only wait.I could feel Giorgio hands on my waist and I was forced to look at him, and that annoyed me so much. This was not something that I enjoyed doing at all. It was a complete waste of time, and I felt like I shouldn’t have agreed to this contract marria
KATHERINE I was fucking bored. The blare of the TV kept my eyes busy, but it was not enough to make me rooted to the couch. I needed to keep my hands busy, knowing fully well that Giorgio was right in this room. It didn’t make me feel better acknowledging that fact, but there was definitely nothing I could do about it this time. With a sigh, I looked around the sitting area, and noted that the room was so untidy. Though, most of the cigarettes butts had been brushed in a way that an outsider wouldn’t get a whiff of it, the whole place still stunk of dirt. I pulled my leg upward, as I subconsciously, twisted my hair into a ponytail. This should allow me do most of the work now. The next few minutes were spent cleaning, rearranging the whole area. I was like a busy bee and I enjoyed having something that could hold my interest. It was not every time that I would get this opportunity. “What are you doing?” I turned to see Giorgio in a pink suit. It was the first time I had seen him
GIORGIO I felt a shadow behind me, and I knew without turning that it was her. I took a drag of the cigarette, trying my best to remain calm. I was seriously having a shitty day, and the fact that Katherine was here, only made me feel worse. It was so hard coming home to her when every minute of the day, I tried to remind myself I didn’t care about her at all. Fuck! That should be fucking real, because caring for her would make me weak, and I hated to feel like I was weak. I wouldn’t take that in anyway or form. Her steps were light as she finally stepped into the room. “I need to talk to you,” she said in a voice that didn’t sound like hers. I shrugged. “I don’t want to talk to you. I thought you were smart, and should have been able to deduce it by now,” I said calmly. She said something I couldn’t catch, but I didn’t care as I took a step forward, smoking away like there was no tomorrow. She suddenly tossed the cigarette from my hands, and I watched it tumble to the floor, and
GIORGIOI groaned as I sat up on the couch. I had slept right here at some time in the night, and my body was suffering for it now. Damn it! Shouldn’t Katherine had called me to come to bed? The moment I thought that, I regretted it immediately. With my behaviour last night, there was no how she would have helped me out. It was a miracle that she even spoke to me a little after the crap I pulled off. I held my head in my hands with a groan. I know I was pushing her away, but this wasn’t the way to go.“I don’t know what is wrong with me?” I muttered to myself.I turned over to the side of the bed, but Katherine was not there. The bed was made, though, and I had a feeling that she was not in the room. I turned back to the TV and leaned my head on the couch, feeling something akin to guilt shoot through me.Now, I was down from the highs of nicotine, my brain was working somehow better. I was being a bastard to Katherine for no reason. It was not her fault that I struggled to keep my e
KATHERINEI looked down at Giorgio as he slowly applied the ointment on my skin. The man was a moving contradiction, and it really disoriented me. I don’t know I was allowing this. I shouldn’t have, but when he had asked in that soft voice which I had liked when I had agreed to be his fake wife, I just couldn’t refuse.“Does it hurt?” He asked softly, circling my wrist slowly.I looked away from him, jerking my hands away in the process. “I feel better now. You don’t need to do this anymore,” I mumbled.I felt his gaze on me, and it strangely made me feel as though I were naked. It annoyed me so much that I could feel that sort of way after what had happened, and I quickly got to my feet. He did same too. “Is something wrong?” He asked calmly.The shift in his disposition made things slightly difficult to follow. I turned to him, and noted that he was looking at me kind of calmly. It was evident that he felt that we were both cool because we were in this mood.“Nothing is wrong. I wo
KATHERINEHis question tinged in me. Though, Giorgio had apologised, but I believed it would have been more better if I went back to school. We saw each other all the time, and it was making it difficult to set some boundaries, and we were always fighting too. Plus, I didn’t want to be a full time housewife. I had to plan for my future. When the marriage hits the roof, it was important to have what I could fall back to, so things wouldn’t be too strenuous for I and my family.Giorgio was still looking at me as he licked his lollipop. I wasn’t licking mine anymore, and it was melting like a puddle beside my feet. I prayed inwardly that he wouldn’t flare up with this need of mine.“I would like to go back to school,” I said at last.He gave me a look. “Why?”I took a deep breath, and finally tossed the lollipop away, looking right at him. “Our honeymoon phrase is off, and I don’t see the reason to stay home. I want to go back to school,” I said softly.He gritted his teeth as he tossed
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
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
