All Chapters of The Wife: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“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

"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 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 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 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
