KATHERINEI don’t know why I was trying to be understanding towards Giorgio. I don’t think he deserves it after everything that he had put me through. Yet, I had welcomed him into my bed last night, so it was only natural for me to be worried about him. I didn’t want to be like most girls who did things because they could and without any consequences. It was the difference between Giorgio and I. Giorgio acted on impulse without thinking through his decisions, but I acted with careful thinking.He was barely looking at me now, and I wondered what he had done again. I never put it past him to get into one trouble or the other. It was what made him who he was. He had a penchant of getting into trouble and making a fuss about everything.“Giorgio, please tell me what happened to you,” I tried again.He picked his spoon once more, and turned towards his food. “I told you, it’s nothing,” he said stiffly. How the hell do I believe him when he was being so defensive? I looked at him as he pu
GIORGIOI stepped into the office which was filled with ten employees glaring at each other as they tried hard to be the teacher’s favourite. It was a moment of great awakening for us all, and I was glad that I could see all these now. It would have been a pity to miss out on all these drama. This must be the reason the old man didn’t want to leave this place. I guess I wouldn’t too, if it all came down to it.“You all, get out,” father snapped.They shuffled to their feet and I noticed that they looked more anxious than ever. It made me feel a bit of pity for them, but that didn’t last long because as soon as they all left, I was staring at my dad. He was glaring at me lightly like all of these was all my fault. I suppose it was, but I didn’t want more drama in my life. “Why are you here?” He asked calmly, as he walked away from the group table at the far-end of the dark mahogany office, and towards his little desk that caught the gleam of the morning sun.I watched him closely as I
KATHERINEIt took me a space of a minute to comprehend what he had just said, and hit flowed through my body. What was I going to do now? I know fully well that I shouldn’t feel bad, but I did. This was all my fault, and I had to fix it.I slowly got to my feet. “I’m so sorry,” I muttered.Giorgio glared at me. “Is that going to fix things? I just told you that I have lost everything and you want to say sorry, and everything becomes as it used to be? You’ve fucking ruined my whole plan, and you believe that your meagre apologies would cut things out for you?” He asked coldly.I swallowed the lump in my throat. “I…”He rose his hand silencing me. “Gosh! Just shut up!” He cried.I placed a hand over my mouth to stop the onslaught of tears, but it sill slipped through. I realised I was still holding my purse. I would have to go over to Mr Williams place. I needed go rectify this issue.What type of father was he? I know Giorgio was a nightmare to be around in, but still he was Mr William
GIORGIOThe whole thing was getting out of hand and I really wished that things would be more bearable but it wasn’t. Everything was streamlined to make things more difficult for me. I sighed lightly at the whole thing. Looking around, I noted that everything was in disarray. I had broken virtually everything and it would be a miracle trying to fix things now. I had no idea how I would be able to make that work.I closed my eyes with a sigh, and staggered up the stairs down the length of my room. Fuck! I stripped quickly, and walked over to the bathroom, turning on the shower. I slid through the length of the bath to the bathroom floor. My heart hurt more than I could be able to put into words, and that was saying something.I sighed lightly at the pain of it all, and tried my best not to break under it. I had to be strong because that was the only way to handle the problems that surrounded me. If I could be strong, then everything would be fine. It took a lot for me to breath at ev
GIORGIO“Get Katherine,” father said calmly.I glared at him as I waited for the man beside him to leave, but he didn’t go. Instead, he stayed where he was, and that made me realise that there were other guards behind dad. This was what he used to intimidate people and I wasn’t going to buy it this time.I hated this man more than anything as the day rolled by. What was the use of keeping Katherine here and treating her like trash? What had given him such a right to do as he pleased? The question sort of stunned me, and I was more angry than ever at the way things had turned around.There was a weird sound which made me shoot anxiously to the dark. I hated this crap. Before I could make a move, Katherine ran forward, but the man with father stopped her from coming closer.I glared at him, but he seemed unfazed by my act of rage.“Not so fast,” father said calmly.“What now?” I snapped.He laughed. I turned over to Katherine, and noticed she was trying not to cry. How could someone’s f
WILLIAMSMy son and his wife had finally gone, and honestly, I didn’t know what was the truth or lie of their relationship. They sometimes acted hot and cold with each other, and that made me anxious. With everything that had been going on with me, I didn’t want things to be more awkward for I and Giorgio, but I couldn’t stop myself from reacting the way I did. I was so upset about so many things and that was the way I knew how to show it.“Boss,” Devon whispered.I looked up from the spot Giorgio had being stand in earlier. “Tell me,” I snapped.“I think we must have gone too far this night. There was a lot of fear evident in Katherine’s eyes. Even if she may have had a single feeling for Giorgio, I don’t think their marriage would last this way. She would always be scared of the repercussions, and may not be able to show her true self. The marriage would be a cage and not the haven she wanted when she decided to get married to the little boss,” he pointed out.I groaned at his words
WILLIAMSI dabbed my forehead multiple times in the space of 10 minutes. The cold sweat was still on and I had no idea what I should do. Where the hell would I get 10 million from? It was not pieces of paper that one could collect. It was money. I realised that I was in big trouble, and the worst was I had no idea how to get out of it.Fuck!I chewed on my nails. This was just so awful on various levels. What do I do now? I ignored the disgusting stuff on the floor. One of the maids would handle it when she cleaned in the morning. Right now, I had more pressing needs and it was important to sort it out. If the bastard needed more money, then I would give him more money. There is no way I was going to risk the informations moving to Giorgio.With a sigh, I pulled my hair tightly. The whole was making me feel so suffocated. I wished there was a way to handle this issue right now, but I couldn’t see a way out. I was just feeling claustrophobic.I closed my eyes tightly, and that was when
KATHERINEI groaned as I turned to my side, but the scent of bacon and toast made it so difficult to go back to sleep. Damn! I guess I would have to forget about all that for now. I need to be able to make the most of the situation, though it was becoming increasingly difficult to do that. I just needed to try to make sure that everything would be ok for the time being. It would help me the most in handling the issues.I pulled out a pillow and covered my hair with it. But, it didn’t change anything and since I was already awake and worried, it was best to just wake up. I tossed the pillow aside and lightly sat up, but my knee hit something lightly. I used both hands to pull my hair behind my ear, and that was when I noted that it was a table.In front of me was a complete English breakfast. There was bacon, toast, coffee and even scrambled eggs. I stared at it all in shock. What the hell was going on? Have I woken up in the wrong house or something? It was so unlike anyone here to do
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
