Chapter Twelve.Noah was a bit relieved to get Stephan off his back, and when Stephan had announced that he was going to have to go home, just so that his wife would not get worried because of him, and get mad.“But you had told us that your wife was not at home.” Noah said.“Yes, but that does not mean that she would stop checking up on me though. The only reason we’ve not noticed yet is because I kept my device on silent.”“Seems to me like your woman controls you.” Noah had retorted at the court, refusing to hold his tongue.“Oh, she is my queen, she is absolutely everything I have, want and even more. Especially as she is carrying my child.” Stephan served the ball.“Does not mean that she should be able to tell you what to do!” Noah shouted as he hit the ball with the tennis racket.He had received no response to that.“I enjoyed today, want to do this another time? Maybe a switch, if possible. You come over to my place, with your wife and have breakfast and go out for some games
Chapter Thirteen.“Come on my dear, let us leave.” Noah whispered as he tried to get Natalia off the bar stool that she was sitting down on.“No! Leave me alone. I want some, s’moree.” She slurred, dragging out her words.“I would give you more at home, don’t bother.” Noah continued, the migraine that had started moments before pounding away at the right side of his head.“I want from here.” Noah could not believe that Natalia could be so stubborn. This was why he hated drinks with alcohol in them. And why he hated alcohol itself.He tried being persuasive one more time. “Baby, let us go home, it has been a long day for the both of us.”Natalia responded violently, using a lot of force to shrug his hands off of her. “It has been a long day, yes. But no, not for you, for me. How dare you call me baby? Take your lying and cheating ass back to little Miss Sasha Bernadette, won’t you?”A man put his hand on her shoulder protectively. “Calm down, lady.” Then he turned to Noah. “Do you ab
Chapter Fourteen.“I am still finding it hard to believe that you cheated on me.” Natalia mumbled as she prepared herself to go for her morning bath.“Then do not believe it?” Noah shrugged. “I promise you, it’s as easy as that. These issues are just in your head, you are the one making it seem like it is such a big deal.”“It is not a big deal?” Natalia turned to glare at him.“Exactly, my darling wife. I like that spirit, keep it up.” Noah nodded.“Shut up. You never even apologised for doing what you did to me.”“I do not need to apologise for you to know that I feel bad about it. Not that I did anything wrong by giving into my crank urges.” Noah said.“Shut up.” Natalia said and turned back to go into the bathroom. Noah moved quickly and moved her back by her arm.“Now, Mrs Shaw. I believe that you have forgotten your manners, since yesterday, in fact, but I would give you a grace period of the rest of today, since you are having fits over regular things. Do not tell me to shut up
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 Fifty Nine.Delilah stepped out of her father’s car, wondering if it was just another dream, or if she was in fact, back home again.Everything looked the same, yet different, and she could not forget how she had screamed sometimes at night.Poor Dennis had bagged himself a lot of scratches and deep cuts, but as far as that went, he was alright. “Mom!” Delilah ran. “I’ve missed you so much.” “You saw me yesterday, honey.” Natalia chuckled. “I didn’t see you in this house, so I guess that that counts.” Delilah smiled at her. “And aunt Demarr? Are you still hearing from her?” “Yes, she’s getting married soon. Postponed it so that you could be in attendance.” Natalia said, and Delilah squeezed her hands in excitement. “My favourite girls are happy. This is wonderful.” Piero said as he made his way inside. “I hope you’re not gossiping about me.” Natalia gave him the side eye. “Bold of you to think that we’re doing that. We’re talking about Demarr!” She looked back at D
Chapter Fifty Eight. “I believe that it would be better if we marked them off as terrorists, instead of demons.” The bald man sitting in front of Delilah said.Delilah looked at the man, her mouth open in disbelief. “You can’t do that. Let them know the truth. Those were demons, you saw the videos, you’ve seen their heads. What more do you need to believe me?” Delilah asked him.Mr Archibald, the bald man sitting in front of her was a government representative. He pushed his glasses farther up the bridge of his nose and sighed. “You are not getting the point here, Miss D’Ricci. It is not that I do not believe you, but we don’t want to cause panic amongst the citizens. Some of them might even decide to leave altogether. It’s a fifty fifty chance that this would go exceptionally terribly or exceptionally good.” Mr Archibald said. “As usual. This is just due to selfishness. Why else would you want to do something for anyone?” Delilah hit her hands in the table. “You have to und
Chapter Fifty Seven. “I am very worried about her.” Natalia said in a small voice as Piero went down the stairs with her in his hands. “What? You’re worried about Delilah? Did you see how scary our baby girl looked?” Piero asked with a small chuckle. “I’m very sure she can handle anything.”They made their way out and Piero helped Natalia jump over the fence, and then the priest. “Why are we using this place?” She asked. “It’s faster if you know the forest. Driving from there to our house would take well over an hour. I can get us out if this forest in less than ten minutes and have you home ten minutes later too.” Natalia nodded as Piero spoke. “Surely, you will come back to look for her?” Natalia asked her husband. “Yes, of course. How has your pregnancy been? I hope that they didn’t do anything to you.” Piero was frowning. “As if Delilah would ever let that happen. She had been doing everything for me before now.” Natalia sighed and ducked as a branch almost hit her f
Chapter Fifty Six.Delilah had eventually dropped Dennis after showing him the way. She had told him to come to the palace with priests. As many as he could when she told him to. “Everything is happening way too fast.” Delilah whispered to herself as she got ready for her lunch with Eriel.She got dressed up in her evening gown and decided to go just like that. “Baby, you look wonderful!” Eriel said and she grinned. His usual compliments aside, she had actually been looking very beautiful recently. It was almost as if she was changing. In front of her, Eriel was grinning like a boy who was about to get a soccer ball.She walked over to him and made sure to show some leg before setting herself down on him and grinding her waist like she had been doing it all her life.She was more in tone with herself and her sexuality, so as far as she was concerned her body knew exactly what she was doing. “What are you doing?” Eriel asked. “Shut up.” Delilah said and continued to move on h
Chapter Fifty Five. Delilah had started to become even more attracted to the twins and was seriously thinking about what Eriel had said. If what he had said was true, then she would choose to have the both of them, but only in her human form. She didn’t want to change or shift or anything. She walked into Eriel’s room and slammed the door shut. Eriel sat up immediately. He was wearing only shorts. Good. Delilah smirked like a cat who was going to get it. “Delilah?” Eriel asked. “Why are you looking at me like that?” Delilah strutted to him confidently and threw the covers off of him. “I’m very sure that we both know why, crown prince.” She stroked his chest and immediately, he joined his lips to hers, shivering as his mouth came in contact with Delilah’s. Delilah let her hands roam free around his neck, and the hard planes of his chest and back, and the beautiful contour of his face. She took off her shirt in haste and saw Eriel gulp. She didn’t need to ask, he liked what he
Chapter Fifty Four.Mrs Martins took her seat and looked out of the window. Her stomach was very big and round now. Then she turned back to look at Dennis and shook her head. The boy look stressed out, and she was aware of how close Dennis and Delilah were. "Yes, Mrs Martins?" Dennis called out to let the woman know that he was still there. "I didn't forget about you, love. Come here and take a seat." Mrs Martins said, gesturing to the chair on the other side of the table.Dennis obeyed and took his seat. He knew that he would be in trouble and have a good scolding, if not more for beating that boy up like that. But Dennis was not going to apologise, even if they threatened to expel him. He did the right thing for the sake of other girls that that lunatic might come across.What if she was being sold at this very point? He thought. Dennis had read stories of human traders— traffickers, organ harvesters and people who used humans as game. "Are you even listening to me?" Mrs Mart
Chapter Fifty Three.Delilah sat close to her window overlooking the side of the place where people— demon people were practicing for their dance, and if what she was seeing was what it was, then it looked more like they were preparing to walk their way in and seduce the blood out of people. "They would probably do that." Eriel said from behind her. "You can read my mind?" Delilah asked, her face starting to turn red.Eriel laughed and shook his head. "No, I don't. You said that out loud, but you didn't notice. It would be lovely to know what runs through your head, though." "Stop teasing me now." Delilah rolled her eyes and turned back to the window.She had gone to her house to see her dad and brothers. Instead she saw her aunt Demarr. Not that she was surprised, since her mom said that Demarr had come around. They had a chat for about ten minutes, and Delilah managed to stop Demarr from calling the police to inform them of her sudden reappearance. "Are you listening to m
Chapter Fifty Two.Piero did his best to look at everything, just in case his wife had dropped something on purpose or accidentally that would aid him in his search for her.The Find Location app was running in his phone, so Piero knew that he was moving in the right direction. Why did she go that way though? A cold shiver crossed his person as he thought of his dear Natalia being mauled by a wild animal and he shook it off. “No. She is just lost. It’s nothing more than that.” He assured himself.Piero held the sound of something snapping and he turned his head quickly to the direction of the sound. Something ran so quickly that it seemed blurry to him. Piero could have sworn that they were human, but that was too fast for even Usain Bolt. “My eyes should stop playing tricks on me. I need to find Natalia and Delilah.” Piero muttered and he delved in deeper. He knew Natalia to be someone who would not go to dangerous places if she could, and he wondered if she felt that Delilah w
Chapter Fifty One.Dennis looked at Piero from where he sat. They had been sitting there for about thirty minutes man, but it seemed like the man did not hear a word of what was being said.Violet was dead. Dennis did not know how sick the girl was to dress up and take pictures of herself to send everywhere. She sent to his two phones, to the group chats they shared and he had heard other people say that she sent the pictures to them too. They found her on the ground just in front of her house. Her neck was at an awkward angle and her eyes were open. The side of her head and the ground all around it was bloody. He had seen it when he was passing back, and at that moment her mother had come outside too, shrieking in horror.Even in death, Violet still wanted to be the centre of attention. And the thing was, Dennis did not feel remotely sorry that she had died. Sure, they used to know each other, but she was a terrible person and friend, and she had constantly annoyed him. He even fe
