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

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
The Wife Chapter Twenty Five.
Chapter Twenty Five.Piero! Natalia realized as the man put the phone down. He started to walk away.“Piero!” Natalia exclaimed. The man turned back in surprise and raised his sunglasses.“Natalia? Natalia Shaw? Is that you over there?” He asked, looking around him.Natalia sat up and waved.“Yes, it is me. I am over here.” She said from where she sat. Piero turned around and went to her and greeted her with a very polite handshake.“Wow. I didn’t think that I’d see you again so soon.” He grinned pleasantly.“Neither did I. But here we are.” She shrugged and gifted him a sunny smile.“Is Mr Shaw somewhere around here?” He asked.“No. He was supposed to be at this event, but then he was also supposed to be at a meeting and he had another event after that, so I am here to fill up on his behalf.” Natalia said.“Well, aren’t you the sweetest wife.” Piero said, looking around him. “How are you doing?”“I am doing well, thank you. How about you though? How are you?” Piero asked.“I am okay
The Wife Chapter Twenty Six.
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
The Wife Chapter Twenty Seven.
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
The Wife Chapter Twenty Eight.
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
The Wife Chapter Twenty Nine.
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
The Wife Chapter Thirty.
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’
