Chapter Fifteen."Finally away from that bloody stupid woman." Noah muttered as he sat in his car on the way to work. He wondered how, and why the women seemed to be infected when alms kind of brain disease that suddenly made them feel that they could do whatever it was that they wanted. And that they could air their opinions, if they could be called that.More like words coming out of one's airhead wife. She had even taken to embarrassing him to have some fun. She has to have her way in a most demeaning manner and Noah was sure that if he had had something in his hand, he would have hit her badly. EThe media has no right to influence his household and how he ran it! The media were turning women vaway from their usefulness, from the training that they had been giving from when they were being nurtured as young ones.Maybe it was something in the movies, yes, the movies. Very soon, he would stop her from watching those as well.What did she have to do? She was asking?YAsking like
Chapter Sixteen.-“Please! I will give you money. What do you want? A house? A car? A computer?” Natalia was desperate for him to leave her alone.“Women can be very stupid sometimes.” He grinned manically and went to her. “I will make you pay if you do this! Have a re-think!” Natalia said, still moving around and hopping out of his reach each time he tried to grab a hold on that.“This cat and mouse game is not very interesting, you know?” He asked. “I might become bored eventually and decide to just reach out and catch you.” Natalia was already running up the stairs and he ran after her. Then she slipped away and ran down, hoping to get to the front door before he could get her.“It is cute that you think that you would be able to get away from me, little woman.” The masked man said, still moving with long, heavy strides.“But even with my walking, you are still far too slow. That was a very good plan you had, but you are not agile enough to execute such a fragile plan. You have
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
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
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
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
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
