Chapter Thirty Seven.Natalia had gone with Piero to get Delilah. The both of them had found the girl at the back of the front door, crying. She probably had been waiting for her great grandmother and then the woman didn’t show up, and that must have scared her a lot.Delilah was scared when Natalia and Piero had barged in, yelling her name. Immediately they saw her, Natalia carried her back to the car as there was no one left to take care of her anymore. As much as she hated Wendy, she loved Delilah too much to let her suffer.Delilah had been asking Natalia about her mother and great grand mother. Natalia had decided to tell her everything, since she was most probably hearing about it everywhere else and probably was not fed the actual facts.“Your mom and big granny would not be seeing you again. Big granny has died.” Natalia said bluntly and hugged the little girl.“So I won’t see big granny anymore now? Why did she die?” Delilah looked up with her big, worried eyes.“Don’t worry
Chapter Thirty Eight.Piero had taken to staying with Natalia most of the time, into the night, but recently, he had been having a truckload of work and so he had to stay at his place. The reason for that was that Natalia would refuse to go to bed until he was done and had to go to bed too, and he did not like the idea of stressing her out due to his busy schedule, and driving through and fro everyday to see her was not an option as he still had a lot of work to do and so much could be achieved within that time. And even when he wanted to visit, Natalia had insisted that he stayed at his home to work.Natalia had been feeling strange all day. And no, it was not that she was pregnant, she had thought. But there was something in the air. Something funny, but not in a good kind of way.Natalia was not superstitious but she wanted to trust whatever it was that was in the air. She went inside to check on Delilah. She had converted one of the spare rooms into a room for Delilah so that she
Chapter Thirty Nine.“Honestly, my dear. You must have been so scared! I came as soon as I saw the news and even the weapon in use made me feel so afraid...” Suzanne Burungdy continued to talk over and over again.“Dear, she needs some rest and you have been yapping way too much.” Her husband said I’m a bid to keep her quiet, if only for a while.“No, I’m not happily. I have always hated Wendy. But Natalia was kind and accepted that devil for the way she was. It really bothers me how the good people are often the ones who get the negativity.” Suzanne said and sat down with huff.Natalia started to laugh, causing the surprised couple to turn to her and look. “You guys and your theatrics have never failed to amuse me. I feel better by just watching you relate already.”Natalia had been hospitalized shortly after the attack which Wendy gave her. Due to the wounds that she gave herself, anyway. But at least, her outcome was much more better than the other woman’s.Wura had died instantly
Chapter Forty.“You can easily do a whole lot of things, Natalia. I don’t see any reason for you to doubt yourself. I’ve got so many business ideas in my head and I know that you would be able to work them out successfully. Trust me.” Piero said.Natalia lay on the couch with a pout. Daniella was on the ground paying attention to the cartoon on the television.“No, baby. It’s not that I think that I would be terrible, I mean, I don’t think I’d be that good, but I hope that I won’t be terrible either, do you understand? What do you think I can do? It’s not like I’ve got a good part of Noah’s fortune with me.”Natalia shrugged.“Why do you want me to give you ideas when you’ve not even tried to think about one, my lazy sunshine?” Piero asked and Natalia slanted her eyes in his direction.Piero cleared his throat and sat up straight. “Yes, I’m sorry mama. But I think that you would do well in the fashion industry.”Natalia sat up. “The fashion industry?”Piero nodded, looking serious. “Y
Chapter Forty One.Years had gone past and Natalia and Piero had grown strong in their family. After their wedding and everything, they gave birth to twin boys two years later.Delilah had grown up to be a strong, smart teen and her boys were beautiful kids too.That's what Natalia loved thinking about whenever she could. She had felt that the dark clouds from a few years back would somehow destroy the happy home she had always longed for since her marriage to the late Noah. Piero had given her what she deserved. The late Wendy too.Nataia sighed as she looked at the clock. The school bus would be dropping the twins off soon, and Delilah would be back in less than two hours. She decided to bake.- "Delilah, are you coming to the party at William's today?" A short, red haired girl asked Delilah and she shook her head. "Um, no. I promised my mom that we would hang out today." "Okay, see you tomorrow!" The girl grinned and ran off.Delilah could not understand for the life of her,
Chapter Forty Two. "Mom, are you even listening to me?" Delilah yelled, causing Natalia to snap back into reality. "Delilah, who told you all this?" Natalia said slowly, her voice shaky as she spoke. "Can you please just let me know that it's just not true so that I can be calm, mom? You're my mom, right?" Delilah asked. "Sweetie, I want you to calm down, okay?" Natalia said, standing up slowly. "Mom, you're shaking. Why are you shaking? Is it because you're disappointed in me for not dismissing the rumours immediately? I'm sorry." Tears started to form in Delilah's eyes. "Promise me that you would not freak out. I am here for you, all the time. I am your mom, Delilah. Nobody can love you more than me." Natalia said slowly, still in her initial position.Delilah stood up. "You're lying. It's either you're lying, or you're keeping something from me. Something that I'm supposed to know, or you would ha e debunked all those things immediately I said them."Natalia sat down
Chapter Forty Three.Delilah let herself into the house without alerting anyone of her presence. She did not want to face her mom, or who she had always thought her mom was, rather, as she made her way to her room.She gave a thousand prayers as she turned the key and lifted the door slightly while pushing it, so that it wouldn't make any sounds and alert her mother of her presence.Delilah collapsed on her bed and closed her eyes. She had had an eventful night. Dennis's party was, as usual, extraordinary. She had hoped that in Dennis's room, no one would disturb her, but in only an hour into the party, she had chased three different couples looking for a room to do their dirty deeds, and even had to lock the door.Some still came knocking after that.With the party going on, and the loud music, Delilah was unable to gather her thoughts and so she was very angry through out the night.Dennis checked up on her regularly, but that didn't make her feel any better. She wished she had it in
Chapter Forty Four.Violet was still in the back seat, not needing to speak as the GPS gave them the exact location of the large building. "Go down and ring up. We're right behind you." Piero said. "Honey, I'm scared." Natalia said, her voice shaky as she held Piero.Piero held her hands and squeezed them. "Don't worry. Everything would be fine. She couldn't have gone that far, or anything."Natalia nodded and they both went out of the car. They met Violet at the door, and just as they came, the door swung open. "Good afternoon Mr and Mrs D'Ricci." Dennis greeted, looking confused. "What brings you here?" "You're my daughter's boyfriend, Dennis?" Natalia asked. Dennis turned to look at Violet who nodded at him. "Y-yes ma'am." He replied. "Well, is my daughter in there? Please let me know, I'm not doing anything to her, or to you. I just want to know if she's safe." Natalia said. "Wait, what is going on?" Dennis asked. "We haven't seen Delilah!" Piero said, trying to c
