BIANCA“Elizabeth, I just got 10,000 dollars!” I said fiercely.I made my was slowly towards my seat before I would collapse. Elizabeth was screaming up a storm in my ears. She was as excited and relieved as I was. I slowly lowered myself down on the bench as a note walked past.“Oh, my goodness! I’m going to come in the evening after work. I’m so happy. We would talk more by then. Go ahead and do all you have to do to make brother live.” She said frantically.We said our goodbyes and I disconnected the call. I still couldn’t believe that any of these was happening. It felt like it was too good to be true, but it was there. I checked my account balance, and the money was still there.I tried my best not to scream, but still I did, thought it came out muffled thanks to my hands being placed on my lips. I still couldn’t believe that any of these was literally happening. I was still shocked. The nurse station was empty, but I could holler and they would respond to me. I needed to get Sta

KATHERINEWe were seated on the chair in the open parlour, and I tried hard to remain collected, but seeing Antonio here was worrisome. He had come into the house shortly after. I wondered if he was related to Giorgio. Though, Giorgio wasn’t acknowledging him one bit.It was the strangest thing I had seen so far. Also, Antonio had not come to stay beside Giorgio at all. He had chosen instead to disappear into a room. I was aware that people were different, but if they were cousins, they ought to have some sort of relationship between them. I mean, I can’t imagine living in this house and not having a cordial relationship with my family.“You seem to be lost,” Giorgio said easily.I pulled my attention away from my scattered thoughts, and looked at him. He had a laidback attitude around him, and I wondered if it was part of the act to deceive his father. If that were so, I wasn’t doing well at all. I was so nervous, and my mind wasn’t in this moment at all. Giorgio and I didn’t have a

KATHERINEI laid on my bed, holding my psychology handout, but I couldn’t read through anything. This was not going well. I tossed the book by the side and sighed. What am I going to do now? Maybe, browse through the internet, while listening to songs that fit my recent predicament. That song should be from Ariana Grande’s archives. Yep! With that, I pulled my phone out from under the table. Next, I looked for my earpiece, which was tangled with my sports bra at the side of the pillow. I cringed. Ok, I wasn’t this careless on a normal day. I switched on my phone, and saw numerous messages from the school group chat. Wait, it was 5000 messages. What the hell? Was there an uproar or something? It was not like the group to be so active. Out of curiosity, I clicked on it, and I kept seeing RIP. Who died?Clicking on one of the messages so I could find out who she was typing to, I stared gobsmacked at the screen. This wasn’t possible, or was it? Antonio was dead? Wait, I just saw him ye

KATHERINEI stared at the lecturer, not really understanding anything that was being said. My mind was in the kiss I had shared with Giorgio. He had been so sure, and gentle. It had been the best kiss I had ever had in my life thought I didn’t respond to him. It was so strange that I felt like that about a kiss I shared with him, but I honestly couldn’t help the way I felt.“Ok, it’s time for pairings. As you may have known me now, I don’t let you pair with your friends. I would handpick your partners by myself, and everything would be in order. The project would be to find out the molecular properties of carbon as it affects the environment. It’s to be submitted to the class rep in 2 weeks time,” the chemistry lecturer informed them.I inwardly groaned, and without meaning to, my eyes slid over to where Giorgio sat with a pen in-between his lips. My lips had being in-between those lips last night. I shook my head hard. This wasn’t the time to dwell on rubbish thoughts.Giorgio only t

KATHERINE“She loves you so much?” I asked without thinking.Giorgio gave me a cold look. I didn’t care, I was so pissed. Who could he be talking with? A girl, probably! I couldn’t take the fact that he wanted me to marry him, and still he went about chasing other girls. Like, who does that?“Answer my question, damn it! You are with some other woman.” I snapped.He slowly moved closer to me while looking at me dead in the eye. Despite how angry I was, I took a step back. Giorgio’s eyes pierced into mine, making me gulp. I resisted the urge to push him backwards. I mustn’t loose focus.“Katherine, get one think straight into your thick skull. We are in an arranged marriage, and there are not true feelings between us. You have no right to tell me who I date, and how I would go about it,” he snapped at me.The force in which he spoked to me shook me hard. I couldn’t comprehend the pain that I felt with his actions, but I tried to have some control over my emotions. It wasn’t worth it. I
