All Chapters of The wife: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

"Rolling Stones gather no moss"How to get to her? It was the only question Nathan could ask himself. She had remained to herself with her eyes glued to her phone.It was like she didn't even care he was here. "The files!" His mind got working. Nathan doubted the files having his signature would be in the house but he had to give it a shot.Talk about way over your head!"So...Now that Boulderfist is yours what do you intend to do with it?"Adriana gave him a bemused look crossing her slender legs in the most intimidating manner."What makes you think I want your company? If it was left to me I would have it to the ground but he has other plans."Her answer got Nathan more curious,"Who? Your father!" She didn't reply. She stared back into her phone and began to type."About your father—I didn't mean to betray him, my…" A knock cut Nathan short.

"love is a drug, can be used and abused"The bed felt like a bush of roses with prickly thorns tearing at her skin.Adriana tossed around, shivering as her sleep became a plagued nightmare.Sweats drenched the bed and her grunts and pleas for help went over the top."No!" She suddenly shrieked getting a breakthrough from the demon.Nathan got in as quickly as he could and joined her at her bedside.His room was opposite Adriana's."It's alright." He pacified her, clutching her tight in his arms.Adriana's fingernails bit into his skin like pine needles but he hardly cared. Her soft skin touching his, intoxicating."What the hell are you doing?" Adriana demanded when she came around.She was as of before a scared child waking from a bad dream but now, her bossy demeanor had returned."I thought...""Leave my room," Adriana ordered.There was one problem though, Nathan did not want

"Choose your stand, fight for it.""I think you made the right choice." Mrs Romero honestly answered."Really?" Adriana quizzed, doubting her hearing.She had no idea why she had taken such a drastic step towards her father. She was going to ruin him and for a man.No! You have to fix this.Not that she would have the opportunity to fix her mistake.Nathan was a smart ass and would have a plan of his own to sidetrack hers just in case she failed.Adriana assumed he had already told someone if he hadn't even recorded their conversation and handed it to a trusted friend in his stead already.She was freaking out."Adriana!" Her mother recalled her back to reality." Sorry Mother but that was done in the heat of the moment, I wasn't thinking right."" I think you were doing the right thing." Mrs Romero maintained. Adriana gave her mother a groan and continued to pace around

"If love was an object, it would be a kitchen knife."Adriana pushed away, sanity coming back to her in a rush."Nathan, if we cross this line, there's no going back."Seeing he did not care, she walked out on him."Wait, Adriana!" He begged following closely.Adriana turned to face him, her eyes basked in tears."Why me? I've always hated you and I'm sure the feeling was mutual.""For some time, yes but when I was with you Adriana, I felt something that I haven't felt in a long time.""What did you feel?" She asked, more in a hush."I felt loved."Adriana burst into a fit of laughter making her cheeks huge."I've always had fantasies of what it would be like if we met differently, if I wasn't a bitch and you never met my father.""But it can be different now. I'll say it again Adriana, I've never felt this way for anyone before. I just want you in my life."By this time, they were already ne

  Three years later(somewhere in Mexico)"Ema." Someone called from inside a thatched cottage.The sun was hot making the fire the woman was tending to burn faster."Ema! Come help me." The woman dressed in a white shirt stained with Ash and coal.Her hair a mess of black and grey. Sweat making them stick to her forehead.She coughed a little and reached out to her fan which she kept close to keep the embers of wood burning."Coming Mom." A voice rang from outside, soft yet loud like a clarinet.A young girl in her early twenties rushed to the old woman who called for her."Mom, I don't want to cook. The farm is much fun.""Yes. Digging and getting all those nails dirty is fun. It would have been better if you came as a boy." Her mother mocked."Help me with the melon seeds. Your Dad will be back from the city soon and you know how hunger he'll be.""I know Mom." The young lady shru
