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 they preferred candidates with master's degrees, industry certifications, years of experience. People fought for internships there, so how did Nova get in?

My jaw tightened. Did she…..did she really br

  • 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    Cold sentence

    Reed’s point of view."Mom.”.I caught up with my mother as she went through the private elevator. .She shut the door before I could get in. Fuck! I took the next elevator and met her close to the door of my office. Her heels struck the marble floor in sharp, furious clicks. Every step carried the storm brewing inside her. By the time we stepped into my office, the air between us had turned heavy.I shut the door behind us…."Mom."She spun around so quickly that I almost took a step back. "What exactly was that nonsense out there?" Her voice cracked through the room like a whip. "Is this how I raised you?"I opened my mouth, but she didn't let me speak."Is this why you refused to take over the family business? So you could hide here and play games with your employees?"Her eyes burned into mine. "How many female staff members have you kissed in this company, Reed? How many?"I clenched my jaw, my hands curled into fists at my sides, but I forced myself to stay calm. "You know me bett

    Nova's point of view "Elsa!” I burst through the front door with all the energy I had, my voice ricocheted off the walls…..nothing answered me.The silence was terrible and suffocating. My eyes swept across the living room, my stomach twisted seeing everything shattered on the floor."Elsa!" I dropped my bag and ran toward the kitchen. It was empty, as was the guest room, even the bathroom. With every room I checked, my breathing grew shallower.Please, God…..please don't do this to me. I gripped the edge of the kitchen counter, forcing myself to breathe. I can't lose her,there wasn't enough of me left to survive that.I squeezed my eyes shut… .then I remembered she had mentioned the basement. My legs sprinted down the stairs before my brain could catch up."Elsa!" I reached for the basement door. Before my hand touched the handle, the door flew open….I screamed so loud my veins stretched. A second scream exploded right in front of me, Elsa and I jumped backward and we landed hard

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    Facing the devil herself

    Nova's point of view I felt like a complete fool standing between Reed and the CEO's piercing stare. The moment Mrs. Alexandra Cole's eyes dropped to our joined hands, I yanked mine away from his as though the touch itself had burned me. I took a hurried step back, then another as if standing farther away from Reed would somehow undo the disaster unfolding before me.But her eyes were no longer in me, they were now settled on Reed and my stomach twisted. Because of me, he was going to get into trouble because of me. Before I could say anything, Reed did something so unbelievably reckless that my brain simply stopped working.That calm, impossible smile.spread across his face, then he stepped forward and stretched out his hand. "Welcome, Mrs. Alexandra Cole. I'm Reed, part of the senior team. I'm sorry I missed your welcome speech."What the…. I pressed my fingers to my forehead.Was he insane? Who walked up to an angry lion carrying nothing but a smile? Did Reed honestly believe char

  • 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 caused it even before the CEO saw my face.My fingers reached for the broken pieces, then a warm hand closed around my wrist. I froze and I looked up. Reed's eyes held mine for a brief second before he shook his head."Don't," he murmured. "I'll do it.""I can handle it." What I wanted to say was, let me do this, let me use this as an excuse to leave, let me disappear before the CEO recognizes me, before I lose everything. But the words stayed trapped in my throat.Without another word, Reed picked up the larger pieces with one hand while the other stayed firmly around my wrist."Reed…"He ignored me completely. He guided me out of the conference hall while whispers followed behind us. I tried
