GIORGIO

I sneaked out of the club, and onto the curb. I was so drunk, and I hoped that father wouldn’t notice and withhold my inheritance. It was one thing that would freak me out. In other not to get into trouble, and leave anything to chance, I walked into a convenience store and got a bottle water for 5 dollars.

Outside, I used it to wash my mouth and face, then took sips of it. I was feeling more like myself now, and I was grateful for that now. I didn’t want anything to go wrong at all. I made my way back to the park, and got into my car. I was feeling more like myself.

The drive down to dad’s place made me so excited. I was expecting a lot. My acting must have convinced him that I was truly in love with Katherine, and he would become an emotional fool for that. It was so perfect when I thought about it.

The guards helped me in, and I wasted no time as I walked into the house. Looking around, I noted that he had a glass of whiskey in his hands as he stared at the TV. He was watch

    KATHERINE“Did you tell the driver that I’m waiting for him?” I asked the guard calmly.He nodded once. “Yes, ma’am,” he mumbled.I was so tired at this point, and all I wished to do was to go to school on my own. I don’t understand how these people never understood that one didn’t have to think about so many things at once. I was working on a time frame. Or, did they only listen to Giorgio, ignoring me?Just then, Giorgio walked downstairs, dressed in a bagsy shirt and shorts. It took me aback. It’s been a while I had seen him dress like a normal youth. He was mostly uptight. Did he forget everything about his inheritance?“Why are you looking at me like you’ve seen a ghost?” He asked stiffly.I shrugged. “I’m not staring at you,” I said stiffly.He took the shades from his eyes, and looked right at me. “That is fine, then. I have news for you. I would be coming to school with you from now on,” he said firmly.I gave him a look. “You said what?”He shrugged as he told the guard to ge

    KATHERINEI gasped in shock at the force he used on me. Was he actually going to hit me? I swallowed as I tried to release my hand from his grasp, but he tightened his hold on me. I closed my eyes as he leaned closer to me, scared of what he could do to me. “I’m asking you something,” he snapped.My heart skipped a beat as I struggled to maintain my composure. “Please, let me go,” I managed.“Sir, that is not right,” one of the guards said quietly.I shifted my gaze to the guard, and he looked almost robotic, without an expression. I had no idea how he got the courage to speak to Giorgio that way. Yet, I was so grateful for it. This was the only thing that made me feel like I could escape this.Giorgio tightened his grip on me, and then pulled me forward, only to slam me against the pillar once more. I gasped as my teeth bit down on my tongue. He released me then. The pain I felt was beyond words. I had no idea what to do at that very moment.He swore as he walked away from me. “It w

    KATHERINEDespite the fact that I had told myself not to bother about anything that concerned Giorgio, I found myself seated at the sitting area, waiting for him to come down the next morning. I believed it would have been best if we went to school together, so the impression of having a successful marriage would stand, but unfortunately he wasn’t coming down at all.There was no way that I would wait for him longer than was necessary and if he wasn’t here by the next 10 minutes, I would have to leave. I sighed lightly as I stared art my wristwatch. 5 minutes into the time, my patience was running thin.I placed my bag down beside the couch, and slowly made my way to our room. I opened the door, and I couldn’t see him. Should I call him? I ignored that, and shut the door behind me. Maybe, I should try the balcony?With my mind made up, I walked over to that area, and sighed with my hands fisted beside me as he smoked. He turned to me, and our eyes locked. I cringed hard, moving away f

    KATHERINEI got home some time in the evening, and I was beyond exhausted. Today had not being my day at all, and I had no idea how I could change things. Everything had been turning on its head, and seriously, it was getting trying to understand so many things, and I wanted some type of change, but I was hurt.I pushed one of the books, and brought another close to me. I was a bit tired about how things were going, but I had to read. My books wouldn’t suffer because of all these problems that surrounded me on a daily basis. I would have to read hard, so the hope to leave this place would still be alive. It was important to get out of my head at this point in my life.With a sigh, I tried to list out points on my note stickers. But, I ended up writing about Giorgio. It was sort of exasperating, and I was a bit tired of the change that was happening. I couldn’t think straight for a minute or what without Giorgio infiltrating my thoughts? I honestly didn’t like this. I didn’t wish to be

    KATHERINEI stared at him in shock. Was he seriously getting angry at me right now? It didn’t make a leak of sense. I was not supposed to be in this sort of situation at all, but I was now forced to bear this, for what reason exactly?“Why are you shouting at me like you don’t understand exactly what I have been saying?” I cried.He glared at me. “Really? What should I understand about your attitude? I was literally just telling you that if you needed more money to treat me with something akin to respect, it would definitely be nice for once. I don’t want any of this problems. You know I wish you would understand that I just want a peaceful life, and not something that is close to being stressful,”he ranted.Huh?What the fuck was he saying? I was the one who was having a stressful with his gaslighting ass. The fact he would turn to make all these seem like it was all my fault was completely infuriating. What the hell did I do wrong to deserve any of these?“What are you looking at?”

    KATHERINEWhat the fuck?I tried to scream for the second time, but a hand clasped against my mouth, stalling me. I felt the intensity of his fist, and when I turned slightly. I saw Giorgio looking at me with bloodshot eyes. What was his problem now?He released his hands from my mouth when he saw I had recognised him. He was about to say something, but I turned to the other side to continue my sleep. I had no urge to talk to him at all. I was so angry with how things were going now. I wanted to cry in pain at the whole situation. But, still I controlled myself.I closed my eyes tightly, and then after a few minutes, he placed his hands over my arm. I felt my blood boil in rage as I knocked it off. This man had some nerves. I honestly couldn’t stand him. He was the most annoying man ever, and that was saying something. I was sick and tired of his crap and the nonsense mood swings he kept pulling.I sank closer to the pillow, trying to disappear. If he saw how much I didn’t want him ar

    GIORGIOI had kissed Katherine lightly on the lips as I made my way to the side of school where I could spend some alone time with myself. This was a big school, and I knew I should be more intone with my education, but I was not just ready to do that. I know I promised Katherine to change, but it was hard to do that when everything you wanted exploded in your face.With a sigh, I dragged my legs thought the ground. I was about to pass a café that would lead me to the little hall I normally stayed in, when I heard someone say my name. I frowned lightly, slowing down my steps.“Look at him,” one of them said. “I don’t know how he could let himself get carried away to get married at his age.”The others laughed. “Well, if he actually loved that money grabber, it would have been better, but he doesn’t. She is in it because of his money. I know that this is all he think about, and it is so pathetic.”“They both are,” another said. “I think they are a match made in hell, and not heaven as

    KATHERINEI felt like my whole body was locked in a coma. Nothing was making a leak of sense anymore. What could I do to make things right? The answer to those questions were barely forthcoming. I was stock in an akimbo with nothing more to do anymore, and I was so scared that everything I was feeling would come back to haunt me.Jeez! I was a train wreck. The maids tried to make me eat dinner, but I wasn’t able to do anything at all. I was so confused about what was going on with me, and how to handle the situation. I had no hope that anything would be fine, and my mind seemed to be stuck in a cloud. The only thing that I knew was that Giorgio had not returned.I sat down on the vanity, and replayed what happened earlier. Should I be worried about the whole thing? Is this Giorgio’s normal way of behaving or did he really feel so awful, and had to stay out? Thinking of this was giving me a migraine, and honestly, I didn’t have it in me to keep getting worried about things.That night

    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
