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
Chapter Thirty Six.Piero had wanted to spend the night with Natalia because he was worried about her. Unfortunately for him, he could not as Natalia had insisted on him leaving because if the media got so much as a whiff of anything, they would leave Noah’s adultery out of it and call her a ‘whore with evil agendas’, as that was how most things worked in the world that they lived in.The news was not even making Noah’s issue so much of a big issue as they were making it for Wendy. Even before the police had seen murder plans and implicating material in Wendy’s position, most of the back slam went to Wendy and only a few recognised Noah to be just as wicked as she was. They called Wendy a husband stealer, which was true, but what about the husband that allowed himself to be taken away by a sinful woman? Why did they not whine more light on his own sins too?Natalia knew that if she was not careful and was to be seen with another man for too long, then different stories would start to
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
