The Wife Chapter Twenty.
Chapter Twenty.Natalia was alone as the large house, wondering why Wendy left her alone to go somewhere."Well, Wendy has her own life, and it must have been very important for her, so she could not afford to leave it alone." Natalia said. Although she did not see Wendy receive any calls when they were at Grandma Joni's place. "Maybe the person sent her a text, or it was a pre-arranged event and she just happened to remember at the last minute." She mumbled, putting her two hands on her stomach while looking in the mirror, imagining herself to be a pregnant woman."But Noah had said flag we should try for a baby before, surely he would not be against it if I got pregnant. I could have just said that the contraceptive broke, or something. Who wouldn't want a baby anyway? Except my husband, that is?" She muttered sadly.After studying herself and feeling convinced that there was no change in her physical appearance, except for the fact that her body felt funnier, like it would when s
The Wife Chapter Twenty One.
Chapter Twenty One.Natalia looked nervous as she waited for her husband to come back. He returned later that night but went straight to sleep. Maybe he had gone out for a drive to clear his head of troubled thoughts. But how troublesome could the thoughts of her having a baby or him being a father be? Natalia thought.He had come back home and gone straight to bed immediately, ignoring her as she sat in the living room, waiting for him to return. In the morning, he had gone out, stating that he had gone out to buy some real pregnancy tests, and that she didn't have to worry about the pregnancy, that it was fake."No shit, Sherlock." Natalia muttered as she laughed quietly to herself, saving the video to her iCloud and then calling Wendy immediately after.Wendy picked up on the first ring. "Hello? Natalia is that you?" Wendy's voice came through the phone and she was sounding unsure. "Yes, Wendy. It's me. You can breathe now." Natalia said, rolling her eyes."Shut up, loser." Wen

Chapter Twenty Two.“But I feel that women should be the ones to have more weight on decisions like that. The baby would stay in her own body still, wouldn’t it?” Natalia asked, her eyes brightening up.Piero nodded enthusiastically. “Well, that makes some sense. I cannot imagine taking these kind of decisions for a woman who is actually carrying the child.”“Exactly. And even if the man feels that—”“Natalia!” Noah said sharply, cutting her in. Natalia took a quick intake of breath, and then, as if realizing her place, she lowered and head and whispered. “Well, that is all I have to say.” Piero looked at Natalia. Her face was cast downwards and she was using her fork to play with her meal. He looked at Noah and wondered what was going on. Noah, on the other hand, was eating his meal like he had no care in the world than to look proper enough for a ‘prim and proper’ photo shoot. Not that there was anything wrong with that in general, but at that time, there was a lot of things th

Chapter Twenty Three."Natalia!" Noah's voice could be heard at all corners of the large house. The echoing made his loud voice seem even louder."Yes, Noah?" Natalia responded softly as she got down the stairs."I want some coffee before I go, now. I did not have enough sleep and as a man, I cannot afford to fall asleep at work. That would be of no good." Noah said with a small frown."Alright." Natalia said. "Would you like to have milk or sugar in it though?"Noah paused for a while. "Add enough milk and sugar. I don't want it black." He then said. Natalia walked away to get his beverage done."Since he's trying to act so bitter, why can't he take his coffee that way?" Natalia asked, mumbling to herself before going in to the kitchen to make coffee for two.Natalia's phone made a sound, letting her know that she had a message waiting to be read.She picked up her phone, it was Wendy. She was asking Natalia if she would be home for the day so that they could maybe go out and have s

Chapter Twenty Four."I do hope that you are enjoying the party, Mrs Shaw." One of the party attendees said to Natalia."Of course, it is splendid." Natalia beamed at him. "May I have a refill, please?"Natalia waved her glass in the air. The man gave a small smile. "Of course ma'am." He said and hailed for one of the people serving the drinks who were moving around to head in that direction."And Mr Shaw?" He asked Natalia as she got her refill."He could not make it today. He has a most important meeting scheduled at practically the same time, and another event afterwards. And so he could not afford to miss it, so, here I am!" Natalia grinned and spread her arms out."Okay madam. Enjoy your time here then. I have to go and have some more chit chat with the rest of the guests now.Natalia nodded and waved politely. "All the best."In actuality, all that Natalia had needed was a quiet place to sit, preferably in the sun. She felt that having her cells a little baked would do her more

Chapter Twenty Five.Piero! Natalia realized as the man put the phone down. He started to walk away.“Piero!” Natalia exclaimed. The man turned back in surprise and raised his sunglasses.“Natalia? Natalia Shaw? Is that you over there?” He asked, looking around him.Natalia sat up and waved.“Yes, it is me. I am over here.” She said from where she sat. Piero turned around and went to her and greeted her with a very polite handshake.“Wow. I didn’t think that I’d see you again so soon.” He grinned pleasantly.“Neither did I. But here we are.” She shrugged and gifted him a sunny smile.“Is Mr Shaw somewhere around here?” He asked.“No. He was supposed to be at this event, but then he was also supposed to be at a meeting and he had another event after that, so I am here to fill up on his behalf.” Natalia said.“Well, aren’t you the sweetest wife.” Piero said, looking around him. “How are you doing?”“I am doing well, thank you. How about you though? How are you?” Piero asked.“I am okay
The Wife Chapter Twenty Six.
Chapter Twenty Six.Natalia’s phone continued to ding as more notifications came up. She ignored them, wondering what she was going to do about the way her head was going.She checked her phone as another sound emanated from it.It was another text from Wendy. She had been sending multiple texts, voice notes and even emails. Natalia had refused to take any of them.She ignored all of her calls too, and she could not just understand why the woman could not just sit down and breathe in some fresh air. It was obvious that she was being ignored, and Wendy did not like to be ignored.She was most probably self deluding herself into thinking that Natalia had her phone on silent or the ‘Do not disturb’ setting, so that was why she could not send a reply.Either that, or she hoped that Natalia was sleeping.But sleeping for well over twelve hours? Of course not.Natalia was almost tempted into taking her phone and sending two long texts. One about how disappointed she was in Wendy, and the ot
The Wife Chapter Twenty Seven.
Chapter Twenty Seven.Natalia had been waiting in boredom for Noah to come home until she heard a click from the door. She was alone and the large house was empty, so she heard when Noah tried to open the door and it stayed shut.That was very satisfying for her.Noah tried to force the door open again, but it stayed shut once again.Natalia had made sure that she kept the door bolted from the inside just in case Noah came home before she could set up her recording devices."And it all begins. Lights, camera, action!" Natalia said to herself as she took her pad out and hid it before getting her phone out.She went to put it in a place that she suspected all the main action would take place.And that was the living room, of course, like most of the other times things went south, they happened in there."Natalia!" Noah yelled her name from the door. "What have you done this time?"Natalia chuckled as she heard him. She was still putting her camera in place."Natalia! Are you fucking dea
