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
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
Chapter Twenty Eight.Natalia sighed as she sat on her bed. She felt relieved that the cards were coming out in her favour.She did not know how much time had passed since Noah got back and she did not know how long she had lain on the ground, knocked out.When she had regained consciousness, she went to grab her phone to stop the recording before she started looking around the large house for Noah.She had looked outside and Noah's car was missing, he had gone out already. Natalia had laughed quietly. He didn't know what was coming for him.He had really left her to her fate on the floor. She washed up quickly and went to wear a sanitary pad before she got to cleaning. Now she sat, worn out due to the cleaning, and all the events beforehand. She swallowed some pain relievers."Noah is going to pay for how badly he has been treating me!" Natalia swore quietly to herself as she started to rummage through her things in a bid to find where she had kept Piero's business card. This was t
Chapter Twenty Nine.Natalia was this close to throwing some harsh cleaning chemicals all over Noah’s perfect skin that morning. ‘This’, as used in that context could be defined as the distance between the two parts of the atom that make up the atom’s nucleus. Noah was especially sweet to her that morning, acting like nothing had happened and like he held the title for world’s best husband.He had gone up to her, smelling like he had just come out of the bathroom. “Hello my beautiful wife.” He had said when he went up to Natalia and touched her shoulder. Natalia shrunk away instantly. Rightfully so, because how dare he do that?“What’s wrong? Are you feeling okay?” Noah asked as he noticed her unwillingness to have him close to her.Natalia turned her head, and after a few seconds, she responded out of fear of being hit by him. “I’m fine, don’t you have work to go to?”“Work never ends for a man, and that is what I am. I just wanted to spend a little time with the most beautiful
Chapter Thirty.Natalia hummed in time to Saylor Twift’s song, ‘Dreaming in the Wild’ with a bit of joy. Her windows were rolled down, and she was driving faster than she usually did. The wind also blew her hair away from her face and she felt like the cool main character in a movie.She looked up at the rear mirror and smiled at the empty backseat, Natalia was feeling very optimistic about how her day would go. She was going to see Piero again. She had been going to see him more often than usual as of recent, and the man was so nice, he was a breath of fresh air, meeting with him was something that always put her in an uppity mood.Her laptop bag sat in her back seat as Piero had requested that she presented the evidence she had against Noah to him. Natalia did not waste anytime today as it seemed that Piero had unintentionally banked in on her plan. She was ready to reveal a lot of things that Noah had done to her, with the exception of the one concerning the ‘removal of her child’
Chapter Thirty One.Natalia wiped the tears off her face angrily as she drove down, away from Piero's residence. She wished that she could put a hold down on the tears and then let them flow freely once she got back home as she could definitely not afford for an accident to take place at such a time.It would be completely embarrassing if her tomb stone put 'crying while driving' as her cause of death. Not that that was what was important. Although Natalia did feel like her life was getting better, there were still some parts of the life that she was planning to leave behind— some parts that she felt that she had already left too, that she missed.Natalia felt that she would have melted under Piero's gaze if he had continued to look at her. For all that she knew, she was already melting, only that this time, it was starting from her lady parts, instead of her head or legs.Natalia wished that she did not have a husband to wait for, or she would have gladly allowed Piero to have taken
Chapter Thirty Two.Natalia was fuming.It was not as if she had not thought that something like that would happen, but Noah’s audacity never failed to shock the hell out of her, regardless of how often he had been shameless.Noah had sent her a text about twenty minutes ago, giving her orders like a spoilt rotten, entitled, bratty man child.-I’ll be home today, I’m about thirty minutes away. Prepare a good meal for me, and I want chicken, not beef in the stew. A hungry husband is an angry husband. Good afternoon.-“A hungry husband is an angry husband.” Natalia repeated, mocking him. In some ways, she did think that not having a child in her marriage to Noah was a great thing. She could not imagine a child having to grow up under such circumstances.Or even worse, Noah training the child to be like him.Natalia crossed her arms with a deep frown etched on to her face. She would face him head on today, no matter what. She was never one to get meals outside her home so she already had
Chapter Thirty Three.“Where is Noah?” He asked Natalia. She turned her head away.“Merely the mentioning of his name makes me want to hurl. He won’t be back until the evening. What was it that you wanted to tell me again?” Natalia did not look pleased, evening with Piero’s company.“Note that I’m not forcing you to do anything. Not for selfish reasons, at least.” Piero turned to Natalia and grabbed both her hands with both of his.“Natalia! You have to get a divorce! You have to start your life over without Noah in it, we know he is too bad for you.” Piero said with urgency in his tone.Natalia looked in Piero’s eyes for about three seconds. “Okay.” She said.“No, you don’t get it!” Piero said before blinking and looking down at her. “Okay? Okay? It was that easy?”Natalia started to laugh at him. “My God! It was so easy to convince you to do that? I didn’t even have to do much of the convincing. It’s so—” Natalia cut him in.“Calm down, Piero. I was even thinking about that before,
