Nova's POV

Strength, they say, is quiet. It doesn't scream and advertise itself but just shows up when you need it to.

And I was mastering living like that, each painful day at a time.

Because of that night, the evening, the thing between Levi and me had shifted. Not in the type of apocalyptic, Hollywood script type of way you would find in films.

But in the type of quiet, jarring, unpleasant silence that crept up the sides of every room we stepped into. The type that reminded you sharply of your own breathing, the clank your coffee cup made if you bang it down on the marble counter.

Levi barely spoke to me anymore and, when he did, spoke curtly, matter-of-factly, as if reciting lines for a play for which he was not the author.

I had realized that there was going to be nothing else to occur, as you get to put your hand on the hot stove once you've been burned. I no longer cried myself to bed in darkness or woke up with that broken moment of hope that perhaps.... perhaps, he

  • Married To His Billionaire Boss   Chapter 117

    Levi's POV I have sat here in the hospital hallway like a man hewn from rock. Staring at the floor. Hearing nothing. Existing, but not existing. Waiting by myself. Waiting for something. Anything. For Nova to wake up. For the guilt to end. For the nightmare to finish. But I just stood there, my own world reduced to this lone square of linoleum and the relentless beeping from Nova's room. "She's not pregnant." Four little words from the doctor had kindled something bitter and cold raging inside me. My fists were still clenched, on my knees, to strangle the truth out of a person. The knuckles were white hours earlier but I could not let go of my hands. If Felicia were standing before me today. The door behind me groaned open and I didn't even need to look up. I recognized that same combination of designer cologne and stale aftershave, the deliberate, measured step of feet that commanded respect even in quiet. "Levi." My grandfather. He stopped immediately in f

  • Married To His Billionaire Boss   Chapter 116.

    Levi's POVFinally, help came when a doctor walked up to me.He was short, but maybe in his mid-forties, with kind brown eyes. He had this calmness that doctors get after years of telling families both the good news and bad news. His medical clothes were clean, but I could see that he was tired from the way his shoulders drooped a little."Mr. Adams," he said, walking toward me slowly. "I am Dr. Kamal. I am taking care of both patients.""How are they?" I asked that question immediately, my heart was already beating so hard. "Are they going to be okay?"He looked at my grandfather, then he looked at me, he kept his face neutral the way doctors do."Ms. Miller has a dangerous head injury and small cuts from the broken glass," he said. "She has some bruises on her ribs and her left shoulder, but with time it will heal. She should wake up in few hours time, her vital signs are good."I nodded slowly, but I was not really listening. What was wrong with Felicia was not what was tearing m

    Levi's POV The phone rang just after midnight. I was still at the party with other guests. Nova had probably gone outside to get some air.I had seen Felicia’s mom earlier. I said hello to her before she left my side. She had no problems with me. But I do not think she really knew what her daughter was like.The phone kept ringing. Again and again. My stomach felt tight. Something was wrong. Very wrong. But I can not say what it is“Mr. Adams?” a man said on the phone.He sounded strong, but he was also out of breath. “This is City General Hospital. Your wife was in an accident.”Those words hit me hard. Like someone had punched me in the face.I ran out of the hall. The nurse was still talking, but I did not wait to hear her. My feet slammed the floor. Pain shot up my back. My heart was pounding fast. Like it wanted to break out of my chest.“What kind of accident?” I asked. I rushed to my closet, holding the phone with my shaking hands. “How is she? Where is she?”“She was brought

  • Married To His Billionaire Boss   Chapter 114

    Nova's POVI ran.Heels in hand, rush of energy in my throat, lungs burning like fire. The fancy party music faded behind me, its band sounds eaten up by the heavy, electric feeling of the rooftop parking lot as I chased the woman who had hurt my life for far too long. My bare feet hit the cold floor.."Felicia!" I screamed, my voice breaking with months of stored anger.She looked over her shoulder, her green dress flowing like a cape, the sparkling evil smirk still stuck across her lips like a weapon she had made sharp to perfection..I gasped, watching her stumble in what felt like slow motion.Time stretched like taffy. The world narrowed to just this moment. Her arms spinning as she fought to get her balance back, the city lights bouncing off her shiny dress, the sound of fabric ripping.She stumbled forward, her phone that harmful device holding God knows what kind of weapons against me slipping from her perfect grip and sliding across the rough ground with a harsh scraping sou

  • Married To His Billionaire Boss   Chapter 113.

    Nova's POV Twinkling lights danced above my head in blessed synchrony, skating across crystals of chandeliers as if their existence was free. Maybe it was. Mine wasn't. Neither was Levi's. We stood beside each other like strangers to take a photo, a mannered stance, rehearsed smiles, fingers never meeting. I felt the unsaid word between us took a longer time as a tightrope over a chasm. We were together, yes but acting. Acting as a marriage that behind closed doors had been brought to its knees. His grandfather had been frank earlier in the week. We had no choice. "The press is watching, the stakeholders are watching. You're still a unit in their minds and until I tell you otherwise, you will act like one." And here we were. My black satin dress sparkled in the low light, hugging my waist, with a slit that was just sufficiently teasing to get furtive glances. I had done my makeup with care, colored my lips a subdued burgundy to match the evening class. Levi wore a black tai

  • Married To His Billionaire Boss   Chapter 112.

    Nova's POVI had just stepped out of the conference room when she was already standing in front of me, a tempest I had not even seen brewing. Felicia, resplendent in her signature armor of designer fashion and sharp lip gloss, leaned against the wall like it was property, her property, like nothing belonged to anyone else. Her eyes swept over me with a questioning smile, like she had been waiting for something."No… Well, hello," she sang softly, sending shivers down my spine. "You are radiant these days… Attempting to keep up with me, perhaps?"I didn't answer. I just stared, drained. Exhausted. But sometimes quietness was the strongest sword of all.She stepped closer, voice lowered, dripping poisonous honey. "I came by to remind you of a few things before you get too comfortable in your new, independent woman delusion."I stood my ground."The baby?" she continued casually, like it was a card she had been dying to slam on the table. "Still growing strong. Still Levi’s. And soon,
