Nova’s POV

There was something comforting about routine.

The office smelled of fresh-brewed coffee and paper, a scent I was learning to associate with comfort rather than chaos.

My heels clicked softly against the floor as I walked through the corridors, nodding politely at the receptionist, and trading smiles with some of the interns who still looked slightly intimidated by me.

“Good morning, Mrs Adams,” one of them chirped.

I paused for half a second, just enough to register the name. I wasn’t used to hearing it so freely from people who hadn’t known me before—who hadn’t seen the ruins I came from. But now it was sewn into their vocabulary like it belonged.

“Morning, Sophie,” I replied warmly. “And just Nova is fine.”

She blushed a little and nodded before hurrying off.

After a brief check-in with my assistant and a ten-minute sync-up meeting with the junior marketing team (who were eager, if a bit clumsy with their projections), I returned to my office, half-distracted by thoughts

  • Married To His Billionaire Boss   Chapter 62.

    Nova’s POVSunday mornings used to mean nothing to me—just another day to survive, another shift to work through. But lately… they’d started to feel different. Like little breaths of peace in the middle of chaos.I was still in bed when the soft hum of the city crept through the windows. Sunlight poured across the sheets like melted gold, and the warmth of it made it even harder to move. The apartment smelled faintly of citrus and whatever soap Levi used that made my head feel fuzzy with comfort.And I didn’t want to move. Wrapped in the plush blanket, I buried my face into the cool pillow and let my thoughts drift. For once, there wasn’t any pressure—no meetings, no deadlines, no pretending. Just a quiet Sunday in Levi’s apartment. And I was perfectly content to stay lazy for as long as the universe would let me.I heard the soft pad of footsteps, and then his voice—low, still sleepy. “You’re awake.”I turned my head slowly and smiled. Levi stood in the doorway, towel hanging from

    Levi’s POVShe didn't say much.Not after Max’s, not during the ride home, and not when we crawled into bed together.I could feel the distance more than I could see it—like a shift in the air, something intangible but undeniable. Nova curled into me like always, fitting against me like she was carved for this space. But her heartbeat was quicker than usual, like something was tugging at her from the inside.I didn’t press.I wanted to. God, I wanted to. But when she gave me that soft, broken half-smile and whispered, “Just work stuff. Nothing we can’t handle,” I swallowed the million questions burning on my tongue.Because I knew her.Nova never lied—not the way people normally do. Her lies were quiet, gentle omissions coated in kindness. She didn’t lie to deceive. She lied to protect, to carry things herself because she didn’t want to burden anyone else.Especially not me.So I let her breathe. Even if everything in me screamed to dig deeper.Sleep didn’t come easily. I only prete

    Nova's POVThe laughter from Max's bar still lingered in my memory as Levi and I rode home, but it couldn't quite smother the weight pressing against my chest. It was a strange thing, to smile while slowly drowning in your own mind. The night air passing through the cracked window felt too thin, like I could not quite fill my lungs properly no matter how deeply I breathed.Levi sat down beside me, one hand was on the wheel, and the other one was occasionally touching mine like he could not help himself. I soaked in his warmth, needing it more than I could admit it. The streetlights cast rhythmic shadows across his face.Naomi's words still echoed inside my head, sharp like shattered glass. "Someone needs to tell him. He needs to know that his wife is a liar." Each syllable had been carefully crafted, meant to slice through my carefully constructed composure. And they had.And then the bathroom gossip, the bitter voices cloaked in giggles and cheap perfume. They did not see me in t

    Nova's POVSoft jazz playing softly in the background blended seamlessly with clinking glass and hum of laughter in the cosy downtown restaurant of Max's, where I always felt at home. Low-key lit, the room was bathed in the warm light of amber and filled with oak and whiskey scents from bygone eras. Levi's warm hand in mine as we walked in, our fingers intertwined in that comfortable manner that had become second nature. The moment Max caught sight of us, he flung a bar towel over his shoulder and smiled like the devil himself."Well, well, look who finally managed to spare some time for the little people," he teased, hugging me first, then playfully whacking Levi on the back. "The Mr. and Mrs. Adams."I hugged Max back, beaming. "Missed you too."Levi grinned, his eyes locking with mine with that glint. "We would have made it earlier but someone spent thirty minutes choosing a dress."I pushed him playfully. "You enjoyed every minute.""Every single one," he admitted, his voice dipp

    Nova's POV By the time the restroom door was shut behind the last gossiper, I still hadn't moved. I remained perched on the toilet seat, arms folded tightly over my chest, chin trembling though I wasn’t crying. I was past crying. What I felt now went deeper than sadness—it was awareness, a grim sense that the world I’d stepped into wasn’t just demanding, it was ruthless. It didn’t care that I had fought tooth and nail to get here. To them, I was still disposable. An outsider. A gold digger. It was something I was trying to avoid being called. And now Naomi was threatening to destroy it all. I forced myself to take long, steady breaths. Still, I hadn’t decided yet. Should I just tell Levi the truth myself? About Jace? About the past that I had tried so hard to leave behind? Or should I fight fire with fire and start digging into Naomi's skeleton-laced closet? It was tempting. She had to have her secrets. Everyone did. But that was a decision for later. Right now,

    Nova's POVThe echo of Naomi’s laughter lingered in the air like a curse.I stood frozen in the corridor, my breath caught halfway in my throat, the corners of my mind vibrating with shock. She had just walked away like a villain from a badly written drama, gleeful and menacing, as though she'd finally dropped the grenade she’d been waiting to explode for years. Her voice still rang in my head, clear and poisonous:“I doubt Levi knows about your past… Your marriage with Jace? Someone has to tell him. He needs to know his wife is a liar.”A chill wrapped around my spine. For a second, I couldn’t move, couldn’t breathe. The pristine hallways of the Adams Enterprises office suddenly felt like a narrow tunnel caving in on itself. I turned on shaky legs and darted into the nearest restroom.The moment I locked the stall door, I pressed my back against it and let my bag slip from my fingers.It hit the floor with a soft thud.My hands trembled.Naomi. Of all people.How could someone so

    Nova’s POVI was not sure what I expected after my answer. Maybe silence. Maybe another question. Maybe Ronald would rise from the table and declare the whole thing a waste of his time. But instead, something strange happened. He nodded slowly.“I respect that,” he said, and I could have sworn the words scratched against his throat on their way out. “It takes a certain kind of resolve to come from nowhere and still sit at this table.” I blinked and glanced at Levi. Did Ronald Adams just compliment me? Well, I think he did when I presented Project Phoenix. But this is quite different."Thank you," I replied cautiously, observing him as though he could vanish if I looked too intently. There was a moment of silence that made the room feel somehow warmer. Like a window was opened in a home that had been locked up for far too long. “You surprised me today,” Ronald added, his tone almost casual as he picked up his spoon again. “I thought I was dealing with another strategist. But th

    Nova's POVBefore noon came, the quiet calm of the morning had entirely dissipated, replaced by an escalating level of tension that increasingly clutched at my chest with every second.Levi had remained quiet not in that icy, detached manner but that laser-like, calculating approach I was picking up was his kind of armour. He had barely spoken since the text messages, just kissed my temple and retreated into the home office to place some calls. Or maybe he simply had to take a couple of deep breaths in solitude before stepping into whatever ambush his grandfather had set for him.I dressed in a dress that struck a balance between poised and untouchable. Black, silky smooth silk clung to my curves without broadcasting them. I had on a simple gold chain necklace Levi had given me two weeks earlier. It was not about impressing Ronald Adams it was about protecting myself. Like a coat of war paint, I could not go into battle without it.While I was getting ready, I studied my face. The
