All too familiar

Nova's point of view

I pulled my knees to my chest and wrapped my arms around them, sitting in a quiet corner of the street. My suitcase stood beside me, useless, just like me.

It all felt too familiar….this trembling, this uncontrollable helplessness. My chest rose unevenly, and before I could stop it, the past came rushing back.

*************

I was nine again, curled up outside a door that would not open. “I’m sorry… I’m sorry…” My voice had been hoarse even then, breaking over words I di

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    Olivia is alive!

    Nova’s point of view "Elsa." My voice barely came out. She looked at me, her chest rising and falling sharply. "Please. We don't know what happened yet," I whispered. "And we don't want to upset Sarah more." Sarah made a broken sound beside us. I looked at Elsa again. "Please. Just... control yourself."Elsa pressed both hands over her mouth.Her eyes filled instantly, but she nodded. She turned away from us, her palms landed against the wall. For a few seconds, she simply stood there with my forehead almost touching it. Then my hand lifted, her knuckles touched the wall, again and again.I closed my eyes, my arms still tighten round Sarah. "Sarah?" A man's voice came from behind us. My head snapped up. The doctor stood several feet away, the same doctor who had examined Olivia earlier and scheduled the surgery. His expression changed when he saw us. His eyebrows pulled together."Sarah, is everything okay?"Sarah wiped beneath her nose with the back of her hand. She tried to speak,

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    She can't be dead!

    Nova's point of view I was still lost in thought when I heard a faint sound in my car. The sound seemed distant, muffled beneath the noise in my head. It stopped….a few seconds later, it started again and that's when I realized it was my phone ringing. I picked it up just before it ended again . “Hello?”“Nova? Have you reached the hospital?”I swallowed..“No.”.My voice came out low and rough. Elsa went quiet for a while. “Are you okay?”I straightened in my seat and forced more energy into my voice..“Yes. I’m fine. My stupid car just decided to die in the middle of the road.” I glanced toward the windshield. “Send me your location. I’m coming to get you,” she said. “We’ll go to the hospital together.”I closed my eyes briefly. “Okay.” I sent my location. “Thank you.”“Stay in the car. I’ll be there soon.” I didn't need her to repeat that statement. I sat still in the car, phone still pressed against my ear. Then I opened my messages and quickly typed a message to Sarah.******”

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    Killing the devil

    Nova's point of view “Get the fuck away from me, you filthy animal!” The words tore out of my throat. I drove the heel of my shoe into Carl’s leg with every ounce of strength I could summon. Not once…twice.He grunted and his grip loosened. I didn’t wait, I shoved both hands against his chest and pushed hard enough to make him stagger backward. For half a second, surprise wiped the smile off his face and that was all I needed. I spun toward the driver’s door. My fingers had barely reached the handle when pain tore across my scalp.Kael's hand tangled in my hair and yanked me backward. A sharp cry caught in my throat as my head snapped toward him.“So that’s what you want?” he said, his voice stripped of its earlier amusement. “You really want to make this difficult?”“Let go of me!” I clawed at his wrist, but he held on.“I’m done playing nice.” He dragged me back and shoved me against the car. My back struck the metal. The impact rattled through my body, and then he shook me hard, h

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    The devil keeps showing up!

    Nova's point of view I tried starting it again. Nothing. I tried once more. The engine gave a weak click, as though it had decided it was no longer interested in participating in my life. I lifted my head. “Are you serious?”I came down from the car, my eyes sweeping the road left and right. The road stretched ahead of me, quiet and mostly empty. I glanced around, hoping to see a mechanic, a gas station, or even someone who looked like they knew the difference between an engine and a car battery. Nothing, not a single person decided to pass that road. I picked up my phone. Who was I supposed to call?I knew absolutely nothing about cars. I could barely explain what was wrong beyond it making a sound and then stopped existing.I scrolled through my contacts. Should I call Elsa? No. Elsa would probably arrive with a pink baby doll and make the situation worse. Bruno…the driver Reed for me. I had barely seen him since the last day he drove me and I hadn't bothered to call him. Truth is

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    Going to the hospital

    Nova's point of view “Elsa!” My voice couldn't even hide the surprise in me. It drifted into the air, drawing Elsa's attention. Elsa lifted her eyes from the mountain of items spread across my living room and gave me a mischievous smile. One hand rested on her hip, while the other held a tiny pink blanket. My gaze moved from the blanket to the stuffed animals, then to the miniature shoes, colorful clothes, toys, and gift bags scattered across the couch. I slowly turned back to her. “Are you planning to open a nursery, or what?” Elsa laughed, tossing her hair over one shoulder..“I wish. But apparently, I don’t have that calling.” I picked up a small teddy bear from the couch and turned it around..“Then what is all this?” “For Olivia.” The teddy bear slipped slightly in my hand. “Olivia?” Elsa nodded. “Sarah’s daughter. My cute little niece from another mother.” My lips parted, my eyes locked on her. “Wait. How do you know about Olivia?” Elsa’s smile softened..“Remember that

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    Sacrificing all for Olivia

    Nova's point of view “What do you need, doctor?” The words came out sharper than i intended.Sarah turned toward me. The doctor looked at me for a second before responding..“The payment.”“How much are we looking at?”He told us the amount. My stomach dropped, but I kept my expression steady.“That’s the full amount?”“That is the estimated cost. There may be additional expenses, but if you can pay more than half today, we can begin the procedures and reserve her place for Saturday.”Sarah shook her head immediately. “I don’t have that much….I don't even have half of it..”I looked at the doctor. “Okay. I’ll make the deposit today.”Sarah turned to me. “What?”I looked straight at the doctor. “I’ll make the deposit. Right now….pease put Olivia on the list.”Sarah's hand flew to mine. Her grip was firm… too firm. “Nova, you need this money more than I do.”I barely heard her. The doctor nodded, already reaching for a form. “If you’re certain, you can go to the finance department at re

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    The sting of betrayal

    Nova's point of view “You really should be ashamed of yourself, Nova.” Margaret’s voice sliced through the air before I could even react to the pain on my cheek.“Sleeping outside your husband’s house and coming back looking like…” she paused, her lips curling in disgust, “this….a filthy trash!”T

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    Breaking the rules

    Nova's point of view The door of his sitting room barely clicked shut before his mouth crashed down on mine, kissing, biting and nibbling on my lips. He kissed like he’d invented it. And I followed his lead like I had no choice in the matter. He dragged his mouth away from mine, swore as he turne

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    Living a lie for five years

    Nova's point of view I sat across from the doctor, barely hearing him. My fingers dug into the edge of the chair, my heartbeat loud enough to drown everything around me.“Mrs Nova? Are you listening to me?” The doctor’s calm voice sliced through the fog that clouded my brain.I shook my head, swal

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    My Anniversary Gift

    Nova's point of view My fingers trembled slightly as I adjusted the lace that clung against my thighs. I held my breath, listening to the soft ticking of the clock echoing through the dim room. “Nova, you’ve got this,” I whispered to myself, pressing my palm against my chest trying to steady the
