Reed's point of view

The door clicked shut behind Nova, and my smile disappeared. A deep frown settled across my face as I slowly turned toward the three men kneeling before me.

I didn't know what irritated me more, the fact that they had interrupted the one quiet moment I'd been craving for months, the moment when Nova had finally been close enough for me to believe that maybe, just maybe, she was letting me back into her heart, or the fact that they had failed in protecting her.

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    Bloody payday

    Reed's point of view The door clicked shut behind Nova, and my smile disappeared. A deep frown settled across my face as I slowly turned toward the three men kneeling before me.I didn't know what irritated me more, the fact that they had interrupted the one quiet moment I'd been craving for months, the moment when Nova had finally been close enough for me to believe that maybe, just maybe, she was letting me back into her heart, or the fact that they had failed in protecting her. “Boss, we're sorry,” the chief security whispered. “Please do to us as you please.”I stepped forward, with the tip of my shoe, I raised his head up, then planted my foot against his chest and shoved with a force that explained just how furious I was. The other men held their breath as he slammed into the wall with a heavy thud. I lowered my foot slowly, watching blood gush out of his mouth. “Get up! “ I ordered, pushing down the urge to just blow his brains out. I had promised myself not to let that lif

    Nova's point of view He froze, his phone was still against his ear.“Didn't I tell you to sit down? Why are you standing?”He blinked..“I only stood up to…”I marched over, snatched the phone from his hand, ended the call, and slipped it into my pocket. “No more work.”He stared at me, then, slowly, a smile spread across his face. “You're worried about me.”“I am annoyed with you.”“Same thing.”“It is absolutely not the same thing.” He laughed softly. I knelt beside him again and opened the medicine. “Give me your leg.”He obeyed this time,.qs I carefully applied the balm, he relaxed against the chair. “Does that hurt?”“A little.”I immediately slowed down..“Sorry.” He smiled, then he whispered, “Thank you.”I looked down quickly, pretending to concentrate on the bandage. “You're welcome.”Ten minutes later, Reed’s head was on my shoulder, his fingers wrapped in mine, pretending to sleep. I sighed…. totally taken advantage of the situation. Till, I let him be for a moment then rem

    Nova's point of view Reed's jaw tightened, his eyes darkened, and the muscles in his face went rigid. “I've never touched Lisa,” he said in gritted teeth.“Yeah right ...then she's definitely Mary, getting pregnant by the holy spirit,’ I shot back, shaking my head. Reed sighed , then lifted one finger, and his men stopped immediately. He walked toward Lisa and crouched so they were eye level. “Have I ever touched you?”“Of course you've touched me, so many times,on different occasions and in different ways,” Lisa screamed.The veins on Reed's neck stretched, I fear they would all pop out. He grabbed Lisa by the collar of her dress. “ What did you say?” Lisa stared at the floor.“Yiu better answer me before I blow your brains out.” “Reed stop,” I said, getting irritated. “ I'm really not interested in knowing the details of your sexual activities with her. I really don't care at this point.”Reed released her violently and she collapsed on the floor. Then he stretched his leg and

    Nova's point of view The way my heart was hammering , I knew I was close to collapsing. Lisa still had me trapped, and every breath scraped through my chest. I forced out a laugh, though it came out shaky. “You're a fool.”Before I could say anything else, my phone began ringing. The sharp sound cut through the room and Lisa's head snapped toward it. I knew that was the only chance the universe would give me, so I shoved against her with everything I had and stumbled away, putting the desk between us. My fingers flew to my hair, and I pulled out the pin holding it together, gripping it tightly. “Don't come any closer.”Lisa stared at the pin, then laughed. “You think I'm afraid of you?” She took another step. “I came prepared, Nova. Today, only one of us is leaving this room alive.”My stomach twisted, I backed away,.my eyes scanning the room for an escape.,. but none of them made sense. My hands instinctively covered my stomach.My baby, five years of hoping, waiting and wishing. I

    Nova's point of view I waited until I was certain Reed had gone before slowly raising my head. My heart was fluttering like it had suddenly forgotten its job. It bubbled inside my chest in a warm and ridiculous way, I cupped my cheeks, giggling under my breath like a girl who had just received her first love letter.“Nova, get yourself together.” I looked around at everything Reed had bought and my eyes sparkled. He had even placed little notes inside the bags. In one of the notes, a tiny heart was drawn at the bottom, then another had a ridiculous little doodle beside the words, ‘Eat properly.’I burst out laughing. “Does this man have no work?” Who had the time to sit around writing notes for every single bag?My smile grew dangerously with each note I read. My hands rubbed together excitedly as I stared at the food, even my baby seemed ready to celebrate because suddenly I was starving. “Okay, baby. We eat first.”Love was such a foolish, beautiful thing. Tell me, who wouldn't wa

    Nova's point of view I just couldn't tear my eyes away from Reed…my lips parted but even my brain betrayed me. Then a voice came between us. What's the fuss about?"My stomach dropped when I saw Damon walking toward us, his eyes moving from one face to another. At that exact moment, Sarah and Jason came out from wherever they probably have been earsdropping from. With excitement I'm their voices, they hurried to Damon. Jason threw an arm around his shoulder; "Perfect timing."Damon shoved him away. "What?" He looked at me, then his expression changed.."What's happening?"Before anyone could answer, Sarah started explaining. Damon's face hardened. "That's ridiculous." He looked at me. "You can't just wake up and agree to something like this."I frowned. "What?""You don't have to accept this nonsense, Nova." His voice lowered. "You're not his puppet."Jason stepped forward before I could even think of a response. "Relax, Damon. Reed isn't doing anything wrong. The CEO approved it."D

    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

    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?

    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
