STONE COLD

Chapter 17

"Katherine what are you doing". Karina yelled at me as she ran towards me and saw my bleeding wrist.

"Nothing, nothing Karina leave me alone". I yelled back at her and she frowned.

"How did your wrist get cut and why are you holding a knife". She asked as she looked at the knife in my hands.

"Ghfbjdnk".

"What?" She asked.

"I said I cut myself". I said as she stared at me and tears strolled down her eyes.

"You mean you cut yourself". I nod at her and she shut her eyes tight." Why Katherine ".

"Because I want to die, I don't want to live anymore,am finished,am tired,am am am". I stuttered as I dug the knife into my flesh at the side of my wrists.

"No Katherine, don't do this". She begged.

"This is the only way,Karina, this is the only way I feel sane". I cried.

"Katherine please stop you are going to kill your self".she widened her eyes as she saw me dig the knife on another part of my flesh."Katherine NO". She screamed.

I screamed from my bed,I was panting and sweating, it was a nightmare again, and this time it felt so real,so real.

Bang bang bang .There was a knock on the door,I glanced at the clock, it was 1:30am,ugh,another sleepless night,I sprint form my bed and walk towards the door to see the early morning intruder .I opened the door a little,feeling a little self conscious,since I was wearing a see through night gown and all I had underneath was a bra top and back panties .I was shocked to see Mr Clinton shirtless,with worry spread across his face,or was it anger?.

"May I help you Mr Clinton". I asked as he trailed his eyes from my head to my toes,and then back at my eyes,he let out a scowl and spoke.

"Well I heard screaming,so I came to check if you were alright".I was sure he was lying.

"Tell you Mum that I am fine and there is no need to worry about me". I spoke as a matter of fact.

"Well very well then". He grunted .he walked back and I followed him,he raised his eyebrows at me,as I walked past him and downstairs to get my early morning coffee,i could hear him sigh as he walked behind me.

"May I ask why you are following me,Mr Clinton". I said as I walked majestically down the stairs .He just scowled and walked past me.
I went to the kitchen grab a chair and sat down close to a table in the kitchen, while he did the same but he didn't looked at me even once,he doesn't need to look at you Katherine, he should suck up his,arrgh, I don't curse.

"May I ask why you are staring". He asked, I didn't even realise ,I was staring,but well what's done is done.

"Because you look handsome in the morning". I teased,he stared at me again and looked away,maybe this was the perfect time to apologise, no Katherine, don't do it,don't apologise.

oh!!!! shut up.

"Em....well Mr Clinton I wanted to-,

"Save it Katherine,I dot need your filthy apologise". He ordered.

How dare he.

"Oh I wasn't going to apologise,you don't deserve that". I lied,but this only made him more furious,he stood up to leave but I called him back.

"Oh and please be early at work,I don't want to see your late ass lingering around at 9:00am". I teased again,but I don't think he saw it as a joke.

"Am done Katherine,am done,I can't do this anymore, you won". He said.

"What in heavens name are you blabbing about". I asked.

"Am not working for you anymore,am not your partner-,

"But your father said-,

"Well am not my father Katherine,you said it yourself". Oh now he's blaming me."I don't know how he put up with you Katherine, but am done,you don't appreciate anything I do".

"And what exactly have you done for me,you're useless,you are nothing but an heir". I yelled.

"Katherine". He yelled as he raised his hands to hit me,but I just smirked, he wouldn't dare hit me, he'll be dead in the morning,he dropped his hands and cleared his throat."I never thought I would tell a lady this but you're no lady,you're a monster". His words sting bad,he hates me,he really hates me,I just wanted to push him ,motivate him so he becomes more efficient,this was his fathers idea of tough love,and now he hates me,for helping him,no way!!.

"How dare you say that to me,all I did was help you". I yelled, my eyes we're becoming watery,how dare he say he hates me .Don't you dare cry Katherine,you are stronger that this.

"Help me,you're pathetic,you know what your problem is". He paused."You are too proud, you think the world is under your feet because you own few company across the world and you have a large bank account, but you forget that you would never be in charge, we men would always be one step ahead,you're nothing Katherine, you're nothing but a girl".I slammed my hands on his cheek, making it turn red,I couldn't take his words anymore, it hurt,he called me a girl, not a woman,not a lady,a girl,not that I was against being called a girl, but the way he said it made it sound like weakly,a weakly,am 23 for Christ sake am no girl .Tears welled up in my eyes and they crashes down my cheeks,he won, he broke me,he made me remember how fragile I was,how stupid I was for trying to help this idiot.

"The truth hurts doesn't it". He rubbed his cheeks and smirked at me,while he walked upstairs.
