Natalia Shaw and Noah Shaw had always looked very happy to the general public, and everyone who knew the Shaw couple wanted to be like them. But there was something else... Nobody else knew about it, even Natalia's best friend, but Noah had a bad habit of hurting Natalia. It had started out small, like all bad habits did, but then later, Noah had morphed into someone that Natalia could not recognize. Piero Teodoro D' Ricci was Noah newest acquaintance, and he got invited to Noah's home by Noah, himself. Piero is able to recognize the signs of abuse, no matter how subtle, and after meeting Natalia, the warning bells in his head kicked in. He left their house eventually, promising to get to the heart of the case. He met Natalia again in a social gathering, and then he proceeded to use that to his advantage, and spoke to her, trying to get her to tell him what she was passing through. Natalia did not open up, but she did get two of his business cards "in case she lost one.", he had said. The abuse from Noah got to a head and Natalia eventually decided to contact Piero, and then she let him know that she was ready to open up and receive his help. Natalia and Piero worked together, and all seemed fine until she showed up with divorce papers and got beaten up by her husband, Noah. Piero stood by Natalia in the dark, as she did not want him to in public, as a friend and attorney. And maybe as something else too. What happens when Noah finds out that his wife was in cahoots with an acquaintance of his? And what would happen to Natalia when her drunken affair with Piero gets to light?

Chapter One.

“Honey, I am home!” His voice echos around the large house, making it seem like he had just made a declaration that he was home multiple times instead of once. Natalia sighs, before she wears a pleasant smile on her lips. She contemplates going outside to welcome him home, but as she dries her hands off, she hears the soft thuds of his Salvatore Ferragamos as they hit the ground and she immediately knows that he is approaching the kitchen area. “In here, my love!” Natalia exclaims and turns around to lock eyes with the stormy gray eyes of her husband, Noah. Making sure that her hands are completely dry, she goes towards him and leans in to give him a hug. “Welcome home, honey.” She sighs as she gives him a look full of heartwarming emotion.“How was your day today? You got here late too, too much work kept you there, huh?” Noah chuckles as he places a light, feathery kiss on his wife’s forehead and holds her in his arms in a gentle embrace. Then he looks further from her head, and...

Chapter Two.
  “I know that what I did was wrong, honey. Please open up.” Natalia says as she stands outside the door of the guest room that her husband had slept in last night. “Would you please stop being mad at me? You cannot give me the silent treatment forever, do you know?” She rests her forehead and fore arms against the door, leaning into it a bit and standing on her tip toes. “I know that you can hear me, Noah! Please, just open up, would you?” She says, still resting her head on the door, but using a much softer tone. As soon as Natalia had got out of bed, she had headed straight to the guest room where Noah had spent the night in— after brushing her teeth, that is. Noah hates the smell of morning breath, just like a whole lot of bother people and insisted that no one must speak to the other without having their teeth brushed.&n

Chapter Three.
"I actually love how much he dotes on you, it is the most adorable thing ever!" Wendy Cross, Natalia’s best friend of over ten years squeals like a little girl as she and Natalia are about to step into the house. Natalia chuckles, beaming with pride. “Yes, he is one of the best things that ever happened to me.” “I bet. After me, of course.” Wendy says, nudging Natalia in the arm and then Natalia opens the door for the both of them to get in. Noah stands patiently at the door, his gray eyes clouding over with anger, until he sees Wendy too. Natalia smiles nervously at him as she walks in and Wendy follows suit. “Noah! Waiting at the door for your wife? That is so cute, you are so lucky, Natalia!” Wendy says as she goes in to give Noah a hug: “Wendy.” Noah gave a good natured laugh. “It’s so good to see you.” “Likewise. My best friend looks so nice, it is good to see that you have been taking care of her very well. Thank you.” “If I do not take care of her, Wendy,” Noah shakes hi

Chapter Four.
Chapter Four.“And so she said that she wanted to go and stay with my mother, and you know I would just do ANYTHING for my baby girl. I don’t see why she is so attached to mother, I mean, I’m my mother’s daughter and I’m not even attached to her in anyway. Delilah on the other hand is. Way too much.” Wendy’s voice rang on and on in the background as she fingered some accessories in the large shopping building.“Oh really, so what happened next?” Natalia sounds like she has heard one too many of Wendy’s stories. If Wendy had noticed, she did not make a comment about it, but continued to speak, unabashed.“Then I said yes, of course. And the next thing she asks is if ‘daddy would be there’, like, am I not good enough for you, kid?” “You know that that was a perfectly normal question coming from her, Wendy.” Natalia says with a shake of her head.“No. No I do not. Her father is someone I can not be with, so all she has and needs is me.” Wendy spits out.Natalia nods as she places a dre

Chapter Five.
Chapter Five.“I’m home, honey!” Noah’s voice rings out into and around the walls of the large house. “And I can smell something good too! Is it my lucky day, my queen?” Noah asks as he gives a smiling Natalia a big kiss on her left cheek.“How did your day go honey? You’re early today too.” Natalia asks as she tends to the cooking, doing her best to pay attention to Noah and to the food over the fire.“Oh and sorry about the food. I really did not think that you would be back so early. But it would be done soon.” Natalia says with a smile.Noah laughs and kisses his wife on her cheek again.“It is alright, my little queen. I got here before I was supposed to, and once again, a happy anniversary to you!” He exclaims and Natalia turns to look at him, her face brightening up into a cheerful smile.“And once again, thank you, honey. A happy anniversary to you. I am happy that we’ve been together for so long, and I hope that we do so for a long, long time.” “So do I, my little queen. So

Chapter Six.
Chapter Six.“You should take a bath first though. Freshen up.” Natalia says as she adjusts the blinds, covering them up even more as too much sunlight came in through the windows.“I will soon. I just have to say— to say that today was a great day.” Noah sighs as he takes some more of the clear liquid he had been served by Natalia earlier.“Yes, my love. You always have a great day, don’t you?” Natalia shakes her head and smiles as she takes a seat on the couch adjacent to the one Noah sat on, crossing and uncrossing her legs.“Yes, but today was really wonderful. I just don’t know why. I mean today was a really stressful day for me, clients old and new on my neck and all. But still, I did not seem to mind their whining and it’s the first time this is happening…”Noah continues to speak and Natalia nods on encouragingly, glad that he is opening up to her. He usually never does. It’s always the usual ‘How was your day?’ and the ‘My day went great, thank you.” that usually marked the b

Chapter Seven.
Chapter Seven.Natalia looks up in awe of the decor and the contrasting colours used at the venue, surprised by the fact that even contrasting colours when brought together can create something so stunning. The entire decoration alone, makes her glad that she was able to be there. Noah had only told her about the party after he had got out from bed, and at that time, it was already eight in the morning. The party began at nine and she had to finish up with chores and look for something— decent to wear if she was to go.Noah’s excuse was that he had only been told about it the day before and that he had forgotten soon after. Natalia had no choice but to accept the explanation he had offered, even if it came without an apology.Luckily for Natalia, on her last shopping spree with Wendy, she had got some stunning gowns, and just the way Noah liked them. Past the knee length, no back showing, and not too low a cut at the neck. Her favourite colour was purple, and since there was no par

Chapter Eight.
Chapter Eight.“And still, the coronavirus pandemic is still on. It’s so frustrating.” Stella shakes her head and holds Natalia’s hand from across the table.“Yes. I heard of someone who lost her husband to the virus. Are the vaccines not working? Or does it just not work for everyone the same way?” Natalia asks, looking at the couple sitting in front of her.After Noah had gone to use the bathroom, and Wendy next, Mr Matthew Hayes, and his wife, Stella Hayes who was an acquaintance of Natalia had come to say hi to her. They sat at Noah and Wendy’s seats, insisting that they would go get their seats after they were done with their conversation with Natalia.“I honestly do not know, but I think so. It could be like skincare materials.” Stella says, shrugging.“Skincare materials? How does a deadly pandemic relate to beauty products and skincare?” Matthew asks, looking up from his phone and speaking for the first time since they started their conversation about the pandemic.“Men.” Stel

Chapter Nine.
Chapter Nine.A man follows Natalia as she comes back home from Wendy’s place. Her social life only consists of her outings with her husband, and with Wendy.Natalia already noticed the man, but at first, she was not sure that he was following her, but after she takes a right turn and turns again to arrive at the starting point, she realises that the man has indeed been following her all the while.The man seems to notice that Natalia is already aware of her surroundings, and the fact that he was sticking out like a sore thumb to her, so he quickens up his pace. Natalia does the same in alarm, almost cursing at herself out loud for not taking the car, even after Noah had asked her to take it repeatedly, more than usual earlier today after she had informed him that she was going to be at Wendy’s until two in the afternoon.Oh, must I be so stubborn? She thinks and groans, knowing very well that she was yet to reach a place that was full of people. She quickens her pace, making it seem

Chapter Ten.
Chapter Ten."No, no. I am going to be busy today, I'll see you later." The voice of Noah speaking on the phone makes Natalia to wake up, but not fully as she still wants to have a few more moments of sleep.Just a few minutes more, she thinks to herself. Then I would wake up."It is the weekend, I saw you on Thursday. I can't come over—" Noah hesitates and continues to speak."No, no! You definitely cannot come here either." His voice is getting angry. "My wife is asleep. I do not want to raise my voice and have her wake up to me shouting at you on the phone." He whispers harshly and suddenly, Natalia feels the need to stand up and wrap her arms around him in a comforting hug or maybe to just hold his shoulders and make him calm down."I do not think that anything that you have said so far is a good idea. No, I will not do that, Wendoline." Noah spits into the phone. "If anything goes wrong, then it's all your fault."Oh, he is speaking to Wendy! Natalia thinks with an amused expres
