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
KATHERINEI stared at Mr Williams in shock. This couldn’t be happening to me right now. How much has he heard? If this man had an inkling about what was going on, he would make my life miserable. He had said it too many times for me to ignore the threat in those words. I had to be careful with how I did things. It wouldn’t do me well to make things more difficult for me. There must be a way to handle this situation, and I had to figure it out.I stepped forward, trying to smile, but God only knew how it looked because I wasn’t feeling it at all. I took a deep breath, and looked right at him. “Father-in-law, how come you’re here?” I asked calmly.He gave me a look. “I have to ask instead, what are you two talking about?”I said nothing at first, expecting Giorgio to jump to my rescue, but he said nothing. What was I expecting? It was only natural for him to jump into problems, and expect me to clear it all out. That was just the perfect way to describe this contract marriage. I should
GIORGIOWe won the competition. I still had no idea how that managed to happen when nothing was going well. Katherine was completely irritated with me throughout the second half of the party, and I honestly couldn’t blame her.I had messed up once more. It seemed to me that it was my fuckup to keep the wrong things every time. I was tired of the whole thing, and I wished that there could be a way to make things more bearable for me. But, there wasn’t. I was so pissed by the way the night had turned out. If I had not agreed to come here with Katherine, then I wouldn’t have to bear the hurt in her eyes any time she looked at me.“Giorgio, you father is coming to this direction,” Kitty said suddenly.I turned to the side of the hall, and truly, father was coming right here.We had settled down in our seats as we bid time for the whole thing to go off. Now, I wished we had sneaked out when we could. I didn’t want to handle any more of these forced societal norms. I simply wished to go ho
GIORGIOIsabella’s audacity was astounding. It was as though she forgot who she was. I wasted no time, stepping into the house and holding her by the neck as I slammed her against the wall. She wailed in pain, but I didn’t care for it. She deserved every damn thing that I was doing to her right now. She was a piece of shit.My face loomed so closer to her and I felt a cold satisfaction as she shook in my hands. This was how it should be. I needed her to feel the pain of everything and cry like there was no-one about to save her. It would give me immense joy and I was about to destroy her confidence till she wouldn’t be able to breathe anymore. She was a tramp and nothing more.“Do you know what you’re saying,” I mocked. She looked at me with pain writhed in her orbs, but I honestly didn’t care. “You’re a whore. If I wanted you, I would have gotten married to you instead, but you weren’t worth much. You really thought that you stood a chance where I was? Oh, my goodness! Isabella, stop
KATHERINEI walked into the bathroom, and striped my clothes. Everything was a mess in my head right now, and I wished that there was something that I could do to curtail the mess. It felt as though I was fast pulling into quicksand, and I had nothing to do to fall back on. It was the worst feeling ever, and I couldn’t change it.I wished he could at least mean what he said for once. He only hurt me as some sort of flex, and honestly I can’t be able to tolerate it anymore. It was just too much. I wished with all of my heart that he would stop trying to hurt me because at this point, I believed that he was doing all these on purpose. There was no way to spin it now. It was exactly what he was doing, and everything was going crazy because of it, but he didn’t seem to care. I sighed as I walked over to the shower, and turned it on, letting the water flow from my hair to my face, shoulders, breast and butt. I sighed as I stepped backwards, only to feel a hard male chest collide with the
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
