Nova's point of view

Reed's eyes bored into mine. The answers crashed through my head so fast that I almost forgot to hide them; Because every time you're close to me, I forget how to breathe, because when you touch me, my brain stops working, because if we spend three hours alone together every day for a month, I'm terrified you'll discover exactly how badly I'm falling for you.

I folded my arms across my chest and forced my face into something cool and unimpressed. "Oh, please." I let out a

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    Where is Elsa?

    Nova's point of view The moment the door of my car slammed shut, my body broke. A sob ripped out of me so violently my chest folded inward and I hit the steering wheel repeatedly."Stupid." My voice cracked. "You are so stupid Nova." Tears blurred everything…God…what was I thinking? What exactly had I expected? That I would walk into Kael's office, demand Elsa's release, and he'd suddenly discover a conscience?A broken laugh escaped me and I pressed my forehead against the steering wheel. My shoulders shook. What if Margaret hadn't walked in? The thought alone made my stomach twist.I squeezed my eyes shut, refusing to think about it, but my mind kept dragging me back to the disgusting look in his eyes……and it made me sick.I grabbed a scarf from the back seat and wrapped it around myself with trembling fingers. My clothes felt wrong, everything felt wrong. I wanted to peel myself apart and start over, instead, I started the car and drove, not to the house, not to Reed aunt's mansi

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    Wrestling with the beast

    Nova's point of view "You really haven't changed, you’re still the demented arrogant fool who thinks everything revolves round him."Kael's eyebrow lifted and I pointed one finger at him. "No…. pardon me.." I shook my head."Let me rephrase that correctly, you are still the demented, arrogant infertile fool who makes himself feel superior to others just to feel alive instead of realizing that his complete existence is a waste."Something flashed across Kael's face but it vanished almost immediately, I heard the door close behind me, probably the receptionist tryimg to save her head, I didn't turn, I didn't care."Finished?" Kael asked calmly even though the edges of his voice were rough.I laughed again. "Not even close."The years crashed into me all at once. Five years ... .five years of admiring him, five years of believing every word that came out of his mouth…. of thinking confidence and arrogance were the same thing. How stupid had I been?I remembered the way I used to sit du

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    Visiting the devil

    Nova's point of view I tightened my grip around my bag and walked out of the police station as soon as the officer disappeared down the hallway."Nova." Reed caught up with me in three long strides. "Nova, wait."I stopped beside his car and looked straight ahead. "Let's go."His brows pulled together. "What do you mean, let's go? We need to wait for the chief officer."I opened the passenger door. "No. Let's go."Confusion flashed across his face, but God knew, I didn't have the strength to answer. For once, he didn't push. He walked around the car, slid into the driver's seat, and started the engine. I stared out the window, Reed kept glancing between me and the road.Twice, he opened his mouth…twice, he closed it again and I was grateful, because if he asked me one more question, I might break….and I couldn't afford to break. Not now… not when Elsa was sitting alone in a cell because of me.I should have known it was Keal. Who else would turn cruelty into a hobby? It made perfect

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    A very twisted thought

    Nova's point of view I picked up the spoon cautiously and bowed my head. "Heavenly Father, protect my stomach and preserve my dignity if this meal turns out to be a crime scene. Amen."Reed placed a hand over his chest. "Dear Lord, give Nova faith the size of a mustard seed. Apparently, she needs it more than my food does.”I chuckled and took in the plate of creamy garlic butter chicken pasta looking at me. The moment the food touched my tongue, my eyes widened.I blinked once, then I looked up at him. "Wow."A smile spread across his face. "Good wow or bad wow?"I shook my head. "No, this is... good wow."He chuckled softly and I took another bite, slower this time.The sauce clung to the pastaas it should and the chicken was perfectly seared with crispy edges…exactly what I needed after the nightmare of a day I'd had."How did you learn to cook like this?" I couldn't help but ask.He leaned back against the kitchen counter, folding his arms. "I've always liked cooking.""Since whe

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    A hot, steamy, dinner

    Nova's point of view"Yes, sir." I sounded like a child being scolded. Reed's expression shifted for a fraction of a second, but he didn't say anything, instead, he walked ahead and opened the passenger door.I lowered my head and quietly climbed into the car.. A second later, Reed leaned over me and I stiffened immediately, his arm brushed against mine as he reached across me and pulled the seatbelt over my chest, the buckle clicked into place. The way he was so careful almost burst my brain, like I was something fragile that might shatter if he didn't hold me together himself.I didn't say a word, Reed closed the door, walked around the car, and slid into the driver's seat, the engine started and a very uncomfortable silence settled between us. I stared out the window while streetlights blurred past us. When the car finally slowed, I looked up to see tall gates opening silently. We drove into a private estate and my eyes widened. The first time I'd come here, it had been dark, we'

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    Office Arrest!

    Reed's point of view.Five minutes, that was how long I lasted before I nearly lost my mind. The bodyguards had finally released me, but only because my mother knew they didn't need to hold me down anymore.."What exactly is this?" I demanded. "House arrest? In my own company?"Neither bodyguard answered, their eyes shifted to my mother. My mother's expression didn't change. She sat elegantly on the leather couch as though she hadn't just ordered her men to pin down her grown son."Sit down, Reed.""I'm not asking for your permission."I strode toward the door and the two bodyguards stepped in front of me instantly. My jaw tightened."Get the fuck out of my face!"One of them lowered his gaze. "Sorry, sir."I laughed bitterly while turning to face my mom. "How long do you intend to keep this up?" I asked."For as long as it takes for you to come back to your senses.""I've lost my senses because I care about someone?""You've lost your senses because that woman has clouded your judgme

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    Saved, then caught again

    Nova's point of view The silence that followed the crash of the shattered glass was suffocating. Dozens of heads turned, heat rushed to my face. I dropped to my knees so quickly my chair scraped against the floor. If I moved fast enough, maybe I could clean the mess before anyone noticed who had c

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    Culprit!

    Kael's point of view How? How had she answered that question so effortlessly? That questions wouldn't make me sleep since the day of the first stage of the competition.R’Cole Enterprises wasn't some mediocre company, their hiring standards were brutal. The last article I'd read about them said t

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    Totally dead

    Nova’s point of view "Excuse me, I was only trying to explain…." My voice came out low, almost like the sight of the woman alone made fear creep into my body."Then explain why you thought you had the right to touch my car." Her voice cut through mine like a blade.Every time I opened my mouth, sh

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    The horrifying new arrangement

    Nova's point of view The door swung open wider, and an elderly man stepped in, pushing a cleaning cart loaded with sprays, folded cloths, and a mop that squeaked with every movement.He stopped abruptly when he saw us; "Oh!" His eyes widened; "I'm sorry, sir, ma'am. I didn't know anyone was here.
