All Chapters of Hate, Terms and Conditions: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

KATHERINE“Do you think we’ve adjusted the gown to her perfect fit?” The stylist queried her assistant beside me.It was 6:45 pm, and they were still fusing over things like this. I was slightly exhausted, but I dared not complain about the whole stuff. It was the norm for things like this to happen, so I figured I would go through with it all.“I’m sure it’s ok,” I said stiffly.The stylist rolled her eyes behind me. “Pardon me, madam. But, it’s my job to find this out. Your father-in-law would have my neck if I end up making you look like an idiot,” she said with a slight shiver.I rolled my eyes inwardly, but said nothing. I waited for another 10 minutes for her to be done prickling me with needles, and things I couldn’t get. It’s like she wanted to sew the damn cloth on my body. So weird, but I dare not say a word. I waited like an ice queen, careful to breathe well, so the dress wouldn’t be a nightmare to walk or move in.“Done,” she said at last. The excitement in her voice was

GIORGIOPhoebe had announced that Katherine had taken a rain check, and I took it as my cue to leave. I honestly didn’t care about all these things in the first place, but dad wouldn’t let me be. It was as though he would stop at nothing to make a spectacle. I was not interested in that.“Giorgio, you can’t just leave the party,” he called out.I scoffed. “I can’t stay here when my woman is not with me. I have to go,” I said tersely.Without waiting for him to say a word, I walked out as fast as I had come in. The night was cold, and I was partly drunk. My footsteps felt light, and one point, I thought I might collapse, but I didn’t.After several minutes, I found myself turning the knob of a room. It was illuminated by various colourful lights, reminding me that a wedding was going on here. I had completely forgotten about it, but now, it was happening.A beautiful woman stood in the middle of it all, and I knew without being told twice that it was Kitty. Her dress more stunning in t

KATHERINEI have been thinking of Giorgio for a long time, and it was literally driving me insane. Now, here we were kissing like we couldn’t get enough of each other. I didn’t even care about his father’s indulgence. Nothing seemed to matter to me.It was almost as if I had gone crazy in the space of a day. All the anxiety I felt leading up to the aisle had vanished, and in its place was a crazy need. His father had given us a house as a wedding gift, and to add to that, he was staying behind for a night. I couldn’t even remember the excuse he had made. All I knew was the intensity of Giorgio’s touch was doing me in. Oh, I had been a walking contradiction this past few days, but still, I wanted to do something more. I wanted to forget all of my anxieties, and live in the moment. The torture that had been going on was a bit too much, and it was the only way for me to gain control of myself in a way, and I seized at it like my life depended on it.His tongue slid into my mouth expertl

KATHERINEWe were in Washington for the past week, and it was not what I expected it to be. The whole thing was nothing short of a nightmare. I didn’t think I had any expectation coming here, and despite how violent we had made love - No, had sex earlier, there would have been some sort of awakening of sorts between us. But, nothing like that happened.Giorgio was literally unpredictable, and a different person completely. It wasn’t that I had known him well during our single days, but I thought he would never do some certain things, and now, I realise I was wrong. This must be the reason his dad didn’t want to hand over the inheritance till he settled down.He smoked worse like he was competing with a chimney and worse, he worse, he also drank like a manic. I couldn’t get it.For a week, he had holed me into the house, and I barely even saw him during the day. He left me at the whims of servants. Oh, yes! We had gotten a house here before we came down to Washington, so everything was

GIORGIOI brushed my teeth as quickly as I could. I was loosing it. This whole contract marriage thing was good on paper, but it was the exact opposite when playing things out. I had never imagined that it would be this difficult to be with the opposite sex. Katherine was as fragile as ever.But, to be honest, it was my fault. I spat out the paste into the sink. I shouldn’t have had sex with the housekeeper in our room. I didn’t even remember her name, but I had been beyond suffocated at the whole thing.After the mind-blowing sex we had, which had been so different from the ones I had had in the past with numerous women, I was trying to keep my distance. The feeling that Katherine had ignited in me that night had been too much, and I was a bit taken aback by it all. It was almost as though I had been sinking into something that had no name.It was frightening.The worst was I remembered how her body had felt on mine. I shook the thoughts from my head as I realised I had not brushed
