All Chapters of Hate, Terms and Conditions: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

KATHERINE “You were so amazing last night. Thank you so much for being there for me. If you weren’t there, I have no idea what would have happened to me,” Phoebe said softly. I pulled my bag closer to me as we walked the school arena. I was glad that I was able to be the best person for Phoebe. There was so much depth to her that I had not known before. As our suede shoes tapped on the concrete slab, I couldn’t help but think about how much things has changed between us. It was so amazing. “It’s alright, Phoebe. I’m grateful to you for trusting me with this. I know that it may have been hard for you to make this decision, and I’m really grateful for it. You won’t have any cause to be sad anymore. Whenever things are going bad for you, always remember you need to do all you can to be happy. It’s going to be alright,” I said calmly. Phoebe touched me on the arm, at the same time, I was pulled away from her. I gasp in shock, and on instinct, my eyes went to the stranger. It was none o

KATHERINEI realised it was too late to push my hair on top of my head. I wish it wasn’t though because it seemed like Giorgio was breathing down on my neck. I swear, he hasn’t stop staring at me since we got to class. It was creepy.Ok, no, it wasn’t creepy. It was intense. I felt like my whole body was attuned to him, and I was like a puppet. It was crazy to think that way, but honestly, I couldn’t help it because if he snapped his fingers in any form, I would actually go with him.I was that crazy for him right now, and that was saying something. Oh! Fuck!“Katherine, can I sit down here?” One of my course-mates queried.I shrugged. “Yes, you can,” I said quickly.The sooner I said those words, Giorgio was already shoving her aside. The girl glared at him, obviously offended by how he was reacting.“Giorgio, you can’t just…”“Hey, you can sit down on my seat till the end of the class,” he said absently.The girl muttered something under her breath, but went ahead to do as Giorgio i

KATHERINEI rushed into the ICU with Giorgio hot on my tails. I was so worried about what mother told me last night about father. She had kept chanting that father was unstable despite all I did to make her talk to me. It was just so sad, and I was confused.“Mom?” I asked immediately I saw a figure in oversized T-shirt and jeans standing by the door, flanked by Aunt Elizabeth and my brother.The three pairs of eyes turned to me. I ran over to mother without thinking and hugged her hard. She was literally shaking in my hands and that made me feel so bad. I held her hard afraid she might shatter like glass if I let her go.“I’m sorry to intrude, but I need to tell you that time is running out to stabilise Mr Vellet,” a new voice announced.I reluctantly released mother and saw a man on a regular doctor getup with a stethoscope thrown around his shoulders. He looked grim, and I imagined he was a death reaper, and that made me shook. I needed to stop with the imaginations. It was making

WILLIAMSI paced the length and breadth of the living room, slamming my hand repeatedly on my palm. The pain was enough to keep the anxiety at bay, but I was beyond worried about the whole issue that was coming up. Did the bastard take the damn money?If I knew who he was, I would easily have him killed, but his lack of identity made that very difficult. And, he seemed to have his eyes everywhere making it difficult for me to sniff him out. I had to do all I can now, and I knew that failure to bring the bastard to light would cost me so much. He must have seen me as a bank manager right now, and that annoyed me so much.My phone buzzed in the pocket of my suit. I snatched it quickly, and slid the call button. I knew it was him.“You did so well. I have gotten the money, and I would live you for a time,” he said simply.“But…”The line went dead. I stifled a scream. I hated this nonsense so much. He didn’t even let me talk, and calling him back was not an option. Damn it! This can’t be

GIORGIOWhat was I doing here?Oh, I knew what exactly what I was doing here. I was trying to see if I could find Katherine. I placed my hands deep into the pocket of my brown bootleg pants, and tried to muster up the courage to get into her hostel.I know it would be easier to just call her to come down to meet me, but I couldn’t just do it. No matter how much I brought the phone out of my wallet, I ended up putting it back in. I needed to do this in person because I would just chicken out if I did otherwise.“Hey, man,” one of the students living in the block greeted me easily.I tipped my head down in greeting. It’s funny how these people still knew it was me despite my face cap. I guess there was no hiding when it came to my face. Ugh! Focus! I looked around the parameters, hoping I could find a glimpse of her, but I found nothing. She wasn’t here, and it would only do good to step into the aras so I can find out where she was exactly.“Giorgio, you are looking for a woman, right?
