Chapter Seventeen."I feel violated now." "And it is perfectly normal for you to feel that way." Noah assured her. "We have to go to the police. He said that someone sent him to me, but he would not say anymore about it." Natalia said to him."He could have just wanted to give you a fright, you know? Maybe he is one of those people who get weirdly obsessed with other people and then try to come to their houses to give them a good scare. Or bad, depending on the situation. You know that we are fairly know after all, right?" Noah asked her."Yes, I do know that. But I don't think that this guy acted on his own. He was not alone, someone else must have been involved too." Natalia shook her head stubbornly. "Either way, we would still have to go to the hospital, but I want your state of mind to be okay. So tell me when you are ready, okay?" He asked."No. Let us go now, it's alright." Natalia stood up to leave."Honey, you are only clad in a towel. Even your feet are bare." Noah said a
The Wife Chapter Eighteen.
Chapter Eighteen."Natalia, I would be back in about thirty minutes. Do not panic, and don't look for me." Noah said as he walked out.It was a work free day for him and he had decided to spend the day indoors. He had only stepped out to get some air, but unbeknownst to him, Natalia was not aware of that.She did not even hear him when he said that he would be out for about thirty minutes as her attention was on the screen in her bed room as she shed tears.Yes, she was watching a tragic romance movie and was too busy wiping the sad sad tears from her eyes as Mara, or whatever it was the female lead was called found out that her lover had died in the faccident that had made her to become a paraplegic and that she could not remember anything except from the accident...Her phone beeped, indicating that she had a onotification to check. One of her acquaintances had just texted her, asking for a meet up whenever she was free. Natalia looked at her phone screen, and back to the smart tel
The Wife Chapter Nineteen.
Chapter Nineteen."That's the spirit. Excuse me while I call madam Joni." Wendy said with a smile as Natalia looked at her and face palmed herself."You mean your grandma, right?" Natalia asked."Yup. The one and only. She's a whiz at things like this." Wendy said with a proud smile. "And then there's little old me, on the other hand."She clicked her tongue and rolled her eyes. "The only thing I can identify these days is what is bad for me. Not my fault they look so incredible anyway, but still.""Are you okay, love?" Natalia looked worried. "Do you want to talk about it?""Honestly? No, I don't." Wendy shrugged. "Not yet, at least. I can't put it to words because it is all so— I will tell you when I am ready to, okay? Don't worry about me.""But—" Natalia began."Cross my heart and hope to die, I will not do anything stupid like jumping off a bridge or I'm front of a moving train. I know that suicide is not the answer, you know?" Wendy laughed."You're saying that like we were not
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
The Wife Chapter Twenty Two.
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
The Wife Chapter Twenty Three.
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
The Wife Chapter Twenty Four.
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
