Levi's POV

She has no idea how close I came to losing control.

I leaned back against the bathroom counter, palms braced against the edge, eyes locked on my reflection in the mirror. My heart was still pounding, and it had nothing to do with the short walk from the bedroom to here.

It was her. It was always her. Nova—with her storm-tossed hair and hungover pout, with the faint hickey I'd left behind like an idiot who couldn't keep his mouth to himself.

She looked like trouble and temptation, and everything in me ached to surrender to it.

The sound of the shower running filled the space, but my head was full of her.

Her voice. Her laugh.

The heat in her eyes when she thought I wasn't looking.

The way she said: "Are you seriously just going to walk out after teasing me like that?"

Like she had any idea how hard it was for me to walk away at all.

I gripped the counter tighter, knuckles whitening. I hadn't slept a damn minute last night.

Not because she'd been in my room, curled up

  • Married To His Billionaire Boss   Chapter 86

    Nova's POVThe front door clicked open at 6:03 AM. I knew because I had been watching the clock for the last three hours, curled up on the couch with my arms wrapped tightly around a pillow that still smelled faintly like him. I had not slept. I could not. Not after what happened. Not after that awful video dropped and shattered the last piece of peace we had managed to rebuild.The notification had come out of nowhere. The link that followed led to a blurry recording from years ago, one I had forgotten existed until it was splashed across social media like red wine on white silk. My stomach dropped so fast I thought I might be sick right there on the Persian rug we picked out together last month.The comments were cruel. The shares were climbing every minute. And somewhere across the city, I knew Levi was seeing it too.My legs moved before my brain could catch up. I rushed to the hallway in time, just to see how he walked in, Levi.His coat was wet from the morning mist, his dark

  • Married To His Billionaire Boss   Chapter 87.

    Levi’s POV Naomi?I narrowed my eyes, every instinct I'd honed in years of business dealings suddenly screaming danger. "What's that supposed to mean?"Her next words were calculated. Deliberate. Delivered with the precision of someone who'd been planning this moment for a long time."Naomi was right about you. You've always been so good at seeing through people—reading their motives, understanding their games, staying ten steps ahead of everyone else. Just not the ones closest to you. Not the ones you sleep next to."And just like that, everything slowed.The casual drop of Naomi's name in this exact context. The smugness radiating from every pore. The timing of it all—showing up here, tonight, when I was at my most vulnerable. When my world had just exploded and I was picking through the debris.This wasn't coincidence. This wasn't opportunism.This was orchestration."You've been talking to Naomi?" I asked, my voice low and deadly, the temperature in the room seeming to drop ten d

  • Married To His Billionaire Boss   Chapter 86

    Levi's POVI was halfway to the door when the lights flickered across the floor, catching movement near the entrance of my office. At first, I thought it might be a guard or someone from cleaning services—though even that would be unusual at this hour. The building was supposed to be locked down, accessible only to those with the highest security clearance.But then I heard the voice."Surprise."The single word sliced through the silence like a blade, familiar and unwelcome in equal measure.I froze.There, standing with a glint of something too smug in her eyes and too red on her lips, was Felicia. She looked exactly as I remembered her from our worst moments together—perfectly put together on the surface, rotten underneath. Like a beautiful apple with a worm at its core.I stared at her like she'd just crawled out of a nightmare, which, in a way, she had."What the hell are you doing here?"The question came out rougher than I intended, but I was too tired and too raw for pleasan

    Levi’s POV "What's wrong with The Adams""From illegitimate son to Gold-digger""Levi Adam: Billionaire Cuckold?""The Marriage Built on Lies""Is Nova Planning Her Exit Strategy?"I turned off notifications and tossed the phone aside, the device skittering across my desk and coming to rest against a stack of contracts. Each headline was a small violence, designed to provoke and inflame, to turn our private pain into public entertainment. I wondered if Nova was reading them too, if she was seeing herself transformed into a character in someone else's story, watching her reputation burn in real-time.Then I sat down in my desk chair, the leather sighing under my weight. Just sat. For what felt like forever, but was probably only twenty minutes according to the clock on my computer screen.Everything about Nova ran through my mind like a film reel stuck on repeat—the first time I saw her across that conference room, all sharp suits and sharper intelligence, challenging proposals witho

  • Married To His Billionaire Boss   Chapter 82.

    Levi’s POV The city blurred outside the windshield, rain smearing the lights into long, trembling streaks. Amber streetlights became golden tears sliding down the glass, and neon signs from late-night diners and gas stations stretched into abstract smears of colour. I wasn't sure where I was going anymore. I'd been driving aimlessly for over an hour, taking random turns, following no destination except away. Away from home. Away from the video that kept replaying in my mind. Away from the look in Nova's eyes when she realized what we were watching.I couldn't go home.Not while my chest felt like it was caving in, not while every breath felt like swallowing glass. Not while I could still see her face—that moment of recognition, of horror, of something that looked almost like relief mixed with terror. Like she'd been waiting for this shoe to drop for months.I gripped the steering wheel harder, knuckles white against the leather. The image of Nova and Jace—laughing, drunk, tangled t

  • Married To His Billionaire Boss   Chapter 81

    Nova's POVI hung up without saying anything. What could I say in a voicemail that I couldn't say to his face?I stood frozen in the middle of the kitchen, numb, until I realized I was shaking. Not just my hands, but my whole body, like I was coming apart at a cellular level. The marble countertops, the custom cabinets, the fresh flowers he'd surprised me with just three days ago—everything looked the same, but felt completely foreign. Like I was seeing our life through someone else's eyes.He needed space, that much was clear. But my heart couldn't bear the waiting. The not knowing. The terrible possibility that he was somewhere right now, believing the worst about me, letting doubt poison everything we'd built together.I slid down against the counter, curling my arms around myself. The marble floor was cold against my legs, but not colder than the thoughts running through my mind.What if this is the end?What if the one person I finally gave everything to—heart, soul, love, trust
