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,
Chapter Thirty Four.“Do you really have to go? I can just tell everyone that you were ill and could not make it.” Wendy said as she help Natalia put on her dress.“Wendy, as I have told you many times, I have to go. I want to attend an event, I’m tired of being treated like an invalid because of my arm. Stop asking me if I really have to go, because he’s, I really have to go!” Natalia said.“Well, makes it better that it’s a masked ball anyway.” Wendy said.“Why? Is there anything wrong with my face? It’s been two weeks, most of my bruises are gone, you know?” Natalia said to Wendy.“Yes, but your arm— Noah. You know that there’s every possibility that Noah is going to show up at the party, right? Because even if they sent separate invites, they still expect you to come with Noah.” Wendy said and Natalia turned her head to look at her.“Don’t say that, Wendy. When I get to that bridge, I’d cross it. And don’t pretend like you don’t talk to Noah everyday and collect money from him bec
Chapter Thirty Five.Natalia paced around her brand new apartment. Rented, of course. She knew that everyone, with the inclusion of Piero would be shocked by how quickly she was able to get a new place of residence without anybody else’s help. The place was airy and there was a large glass screen that overlooked the city. It was good that she was able to get some contacts during her multiple trips to malls and other places.It was even better that she had sold her uselessly extravagant clothing items and accessories, and for all the cash that Noah had sent to her to buy some things for herself, which she did not get.She had refused to pick calls from anyone. Not from Wendy, Piero, or even Noah. Natalia was sure that Wendy and Noah had received the fright of their lives when they saw that someone apart from the both of them knew of the secret affair that they had had since college.And someone else had also known that Delilah was not the just daughter of a random one night stand that
