All Chapters of Hate, Terms and Conditions: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

GIORGIOThe whole process was like a breeze. I hardly understood what was happening, but was just going through the norms. The stench of alcohol mixed with dirt was harsh in this part of the alley. I watched breezily as the police and paramedics whizzed Katherine into the ambulance in a rush. The police officers asked me a few questions, and I answered as breezily as ever. I couldn’t remember what I was saying or the questions. I only wanted it to end. In between running after the ambulance like a man possessed, Caroline and Phoenix decided to pull up.Fuck!I had even forgotten about them. Accidents like this messed with the head. They were shaking profusely, and asking me what had happened, but I couldn’t bring myself to respond. All I wanted was to be with Katherine at that very moment.I think I told them to come behind while I drove in with Katherine. I really couldn’t remember much because it was like I was in a state of comatose, but ever single part of me was functioning as i

GIORGIOIt is so intense when things happens like this, but thankfully I have given Katherine a teensy bit of assurance that none of this would repeat itself. I was going to be a hopeless romantic in front of the world. It was something that I could easily do, though the part of staying away from girls would be a bit difficult, but I was no fool. The whole drama would be believable if I didn’t have a scandal attached to me. At least, till I got married, I needed to make my old man feel that I was madly in love. His thoughts were crooked, and it was important to keep it under wraps. I itched my hair slightly as I stepped into the house. The whole place was dreadfully quiet. It has been this way for as long as I could remember. And, I didn’t expect anything less from it. It was one of the reasons I needed to get my inheritance quickly, so I can move out of this hell house. It would be a breath of fresh air if my plans workout.With a sigh, I strolled over to dad’s room. His voice had

WILLIAMSThe cold of the phone was slowly seeping into my bloodstream as I gripped it harder. I was so upset about the way things were playing out, but the recent turn of events had made things worse for me. The more I tried to hide things, the more it rapidly went out of hand, and I didn’t like it one bit. It’s like I have lost the ability to control things.It was so annoying.I dragged my legs out of my room, and stepped into the hall. These days, I was also staying at home too much. It was meant to give a sort of impression to Giorgio, but I doubt if he was even paying attention to what I was doing.If my enemies finally caught me, I don’t think being in the house almost all the time would change anything. I had no idea what was the best step now, but I would find out. But, there was one thing that needed to be done.Stepping out of the house, two of my most trusted men stepped off the car hood, and came over to meet me. They were both rugged, and dressed in dark leather. It would

KATHERINEMother’s words were laced with ice to me. I don’t know if I was getting paranoid, or if my anxiety was getting to me, but I was definitely of the impression that she didn’t mean anything good right now. She was definitely upset with me, or looking for a means to make me feel worse than I felt before. It was definitely that.“I’m talking to you, right?” She asked stiffly.I sighed as I stepped closer. George didn’t make a move to where we were, but he didn’t leave either. I could also see Aunt Elizabeth stepping out of the kitchen to see what the fuse was all about. It was the norm in our household on a normal day.“I’m coming,” I managed.The little distance to her felt like a mile, but I was finally at her side. She tapped on the seat closest to her, for me to sit down. I sighed slightly as I did as I was told. Her eyes barely left the picture she held in her hand.“Do you see this picture?” She managed calmly.I swallowed lightly, not knowing where this talk was headed. “I

KATHERINEI tossed the keys at the other side of the room, and almost screamed as a force knocked me sideways. “Whoa!” I said, breathlessly.I slowly pulled back, and rolled my eyes at Phoebe who was looking at me like she couldn’t believe I was right in front of her. Ok, she was getting weird. Carefully, I walked past her, and slumped down on the bed. I was too tired to indulge her melodramatic ways.“You’re here,” she said in disbelief.I rolled my eyes. “I don’t know what’s up with you, but where else would I be at this moment?” She scoffed. “I don’t know. We went half-crazy looking for you. You weren’t even picking our calls or texts. I mean, who does that?” She asked.It was then I felt something close to regret. Damn! I had forgotten to tell them about my movements, and considering what had happened the last time, it was only normal for them to feel like I had gotten into trouble.“Oops!” I said calmly.It was her turn to roll her eyes at me. I tried to give a sheepish smile, b
