KATHERINE“Kitty, please,” Giorgio whispered.I ignored him as I slid away from the bed, and to the bathroom. I slammed the door against his incessant whining. I was so tired of listening to his nonsense. This was getting too much and I was not some joker, but was a fucking human.If he thought he could keep playing with my feelings, he was in for a shocker. I pushed my hair up, and used a band to tie it securely. I was done with this nonsense, really? He would have to handle his problems by himself now.I had a wash quickly, and then, I stepped out of the bathroom. He was still where I had left him. I sighed as I took my nighties. I wore them quickly, and then, slid back into the bed, facing away from him.Closing my eyes shut, I tried to forget the sensation that he was looking at me. There was no need to torture myself so much. He could sleep if he wants anyway.***The next morning, a yawn escaped my lips as I sat up in bed. I pulled my hands behind me, in a bid to stretch my weak
KATHERINEHe shoved me away from him. What was going on with him this time? I didn’t make a move to him, trying to understand what he was going to do next. Sometimes, I believed that he was possessed because none of these attributes seemed normal at best. I was so upset with how he did things, but what was I supposed to do now? “I can’t stay in here,’ he spat out.“What do you mean?” I queried as I walked over to him.He looked around, looking completely listless. I had no idea what was wrong with him. I tried to search his face, but he was looking at every point like he was confused. I bit my lips slightly, wondering if I should call Mr Williams. But, if I did, wouldn’t that make his assumptions that we were in a marriage of convenience true?“Look, you can’t leave the house. You’re still not ok, and I have no idea what will happen to you if you go out there on your own. Remember what happened the last time, Giorgio? No-one leaves the house like this. Are you even listening to me?”
KATHERINEI shifted slightly on the bed, and tried to catch a few minutes of sleep, but it was not working like I had expected. With a sigh, I turned towards the left, and that was when my eyes caught a glimpse of Giorgio’s mated forehead.I got up at once, and glared at his figure. He was back after almost giving me a heart attack. What kind of man did this sort of thing? Giorgio was getting more despicable by the minute, and I was beginning to get angry with him.This was so unfair. How could someone be this self-centred and corny? The more I looked at him, the more annoyed I felt. I sighed as I got out of bed. I wasn’t going to let his nonsense get to me this time. If he wanted to treat me like crap, then I would treat him like a picture. Well, he was a beautiful picture, but that was beside the point. No-one spoke to a picture without it being necessary, So, that is what it was going to be.I walked out to the laundry room. I had so much to do today, and I couldn’t afford to waste
KATHERINEI felt the tick of my hair rise at the back of my head. I was so frustrated with this man. The back and forth, hot and cold was frustrating me. I had no idea how I would have to put up with his nonsense. This was just too much for me to handle. I was so tired of the way things were going, and I wished that everything would have worked out nice, but it didn’t.I felt cold pain in my chest at the way things had gone on for some time. Everything was not looking up like it used to do. This was so painful, and I hoped all would be fine soon. Now, he was literally creating a scene in school like it was so normal. I stared at him with pain visible in my eyes.“I need to talk to you, Katherine,” he said softly.I looked at him with my eyes pulling into slits. “You can say whatever you have to say right here, dear husband,” I said coldly.I could feel the anger behind his eyes, but I didn’t back down. This was becoming too much. I couldn’t keep tolerating all of these. It was not eve
86KATHERINE“That lecturer is the worst person ever! How does he think we would be able to complete the project in two weeks? I don’t think anyone can be able to get it done, even if they wished for that. I really don’t understand the whole thing, no matter how much I try to,” Phoebe whined as we walked down the school stairs, on our way to a restaurant.I shook my head. “I know right,” I said with a huff. “With everything that has been happening, I thought that I might be able to get a break for sometime, but I guess that will never be happening.”I honestly was having a bad week. The whole thing was getting out of hand with Giorgio. I have not completely forgiven him for what he did. In fact, I didn’t even know what forgiveness meant at this point. To add to it, the lecturers has been bringing so many project to the table, and I was honestly tired of it. The school break also seemed like it was a good distance away. It was just so tiring and painful, and I didn’t know what to do a
GIORGIOIt was a miracle getting Katherine to come with me to this venue. I didn’t even want to come here in the first place, but I had no idea what to do in this situation. To me, it felt like, it was the right thing to do to put aside my feelings, and attend. My inheritance was attached to it.“Katherine, when we get in there, try to stick with me,” I informed her.She squeezed my hand. “Of course,” she agreed with me.I forced a smile up my face and got into the even. The whole place was filled with people in corporate wears. I was equally aware that the woman that was right beside me was dressed in a black sequin gown which showed off her curves. She looked ravishing, and I knew that too. There was something about her that made me feel like I was kind of lucky to have her by my side. I had to push the thoughts far down because it made no sense. There was no way I should be grateful for it. With a sigh, I pulled my hand away from her hold, and straightened the tie I wore.Ugh!The
KATHERINEThe members of the elite group were quite rowdy. I had not known when I had been pushed to the side by them. The moment Giorgio had taken his hands off mine, I had gotten lost in the crowd. The worst was that the idiot had not realised this, and simply walked ahead like I was still by his side.I found my way to the other side, and there, I spoke to someone. She was so kind, and offered me her seat. I figured I would be with her for sometime before looking for Giorgio.“So, you’re married at this point in your life. Don’t you have regrets?” The lady was asking.She wore a white outfit, that made her look regal, but also got her harsh looks. She wasn’t quite on theme with the requests, so she was more or less separated from it all. But, no-one told her anything though. It was evident that she was some big shot here. I smiled at the whole thing.“Well,” I started as I took a sip of my drink. “The thing is that, I was really in love with my man. I didn’t think that I wouldn’t s
KATHERINEI watched as she wasted no time bringing out her phone. Giorgio tried to snatch it from her, but I saved his hand away. This was not the time to react this way. I knew that there was so many things involved at the moment, and I wouldn’t for the life of me allow Giorgio to gaslight both I and this lady. If there was any truth in what she was saying, I wanted to find that out.She tapped away on her phone, and when I felt my patience was running thin, she shoved the phone in my face. I stared at the nude pictures of Giorgio and this woman, and felt my throat tighten. Then, she swiped to a video of their love making. I had no choice, but to look away in disgust.“Kitty, I…”I ran like a manic at that very moment. I had no idea where I was heading to, and the heels made it difficult to run. But, I wanted to get away from there. I wanted to get away from the pain that I was being forced to bear. I rounded a corner, and somehow I realised I was in the women’s restroom. I placed b
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
