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    The unimaginable

    Nova's point of view I pulled my arm against myself. “Don't care about me. Don't worry about me. Don't do anything.”I stared directly into his eyes. “Just get out of my sight.”Something in his expression broke, but he stepped back. For once, he didn't follow me, I turned and walked away before my knees could betray me again. I grabbed my bag the moment I reached my office, “I'm going home.”Jason straightened..“Nova?”“I need to get checked before I go home.”“Do you want someone to drive you?” he asked.“No.”.My voice came out sharper than I intended, I softened it..“I'll be fine.”Sarah gave me a worried look..“Please take care of yourself.”Jason called after me..“I'll check on you later.”I didn't turn around, but I felt Reed's eyes watching me as I walked away. *************I didn't go to the hospital, I drove straight home.The moment I stepped inside my room, I dropped my bag by the door and walked straight to the bathroom. I filled the bathtub with water hotter than I no

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    Facing my boss.... my lover

    Nova's point of view I sat motionless on the cold tiles for only God knew how long, then a knock sounded against the door. I jolted upright, my hands flying to my face. I wiped my cheeks quickly, reached for the handkerchief on my desk and dabbed beneath my eyes, then took one deep breath, and opened the door.My breath caught as my eyes landed on Reed.For one second, neither of us moved..He stood there in a perfectly tailored suit, but somehow he looked nothing like the man I remembered..His hair was slightly disheveled, there were faint shadows beneath his eyes…and his jaw looked rougher than usual, as though he'd forgotten to care about his appearance.My first instinct was to slam the door….but how dare I ..to the CEO! So, I stepped aside.“Good morning, sir.” The words tasted bitter and Reed's eyes shifted slightly. I forced myself to look at him. “Is everything okay? Do you need me to do anything?”His eyebrows drew together, he stepped inside and closed the door behind him.

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    Broken without mercy

    Nova's point of view I stared at my reflection for several seconds, saying nothing, seeing nothing. My fingers tightened around the edge of the dressing table until my knuckles whitened. “You’re strong enough to get through this, Nova.”My voice sounded steadier than I felt, I drew in a slow breath. “You’re strong enough to survive this.”I repeated it, almost as though saying it enough times would make it true, but then, my eyes dropped. I swallowed hard, fighting the familiar sting behind my eyes.No…not again, I had cried enough. I had cried until my head hurt, until my eyes burned…until sleep became something my body begged for but my mind refused to give me.I lifted my head again.I didn’t die when Margaret made my life unbearable. I didn’t die when Keal betrayed me. My reflection stared back at me.I didn’t die when I walked out of Keal’s house with nothing but a suitcase and tears in my eyes.I reached for my comb. So I definitely won’t die because of this.I dragged the comb

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    War! You will pay for every tear.

    Reed's point of view Lisa's eyes widened. “You wouldn’t dare.”A dry laugh escaped me.“Really?” I looked straight into her eyes..“Take another step and find out.”She didn’t move,.instead, tears appeared..I stared at her in disbelief..How does she do that? How does she summon tears whenever the conversation stops going her way? I turned away before irritation turned into something uglier. “Be gone before I come downstairs again.” I started climbing the stairs. “If I still find you in this here when I return, I’ll personally drag you out.”A sob echoed behind me. “Fine…” I didn’t stop. “I’ll leave tomorrow morning…just let me stay tonight. I won’t disturb you…I won’t even make a sound. Pretend I’m not here… I’ll stay in one room and disappear as early as possible tomorrow.”I paused halfway up the stairs and looked back. “If you don’t, I’ll pay for a hotel myself… because no woman stays overnight in this house.” I held her gaze. “No woman except the one I love… or my family.”The word

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    The founder of lie and manipulation

    Reed's Point of View"Чёрт возьми..." The Russian curse tore from my throat before I even realized I'd spoken. Ten minutes…I had been gone for ten miserable minutes. Nova was laughing, stealing popcorn from my bowl, pouting because I wouldn't let her eat nothing but junk food for another day. Ten minutes later...She had looked at me as though I had murdered every dream she'd ever carried.I gripped the steering wheel until my knuckles turned white. "How the hell did she leave without anyone knowing?!" I barked into the phone…silence came, then useless apologies. "I don't want apologies!" My voice exploded through the car. "I want answers!"The gates opened, I didn't even wait for the car to stop rolling before jumping out. The guards stiffened, every one of them suddenly found the ground fascinating. "What exactly do I pay you people for?" I snapped. "A woman walks out of my house in tears and none of you can explain why?"Nobody answered, my voice kept bursting in the air, but not a

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    The bitch is gone!

    Lisa's point of view "The bitch is gone. I twirled around the living room. "And the queen has taken over." A laugh bubbled out of me. "The real queen."A low chuckle answered from the other end of the call. "Good." His voice became colder. "Now listen to me carefully."I straightened immediately. "If you do exactly as I say, within three or four days Reed will be the one chasing after you."A smile stretched across my face. "That's exactly what I want." I crossed one leg over the other. "I didn't come this far just to mess things up..""Good." There was a pause, then his tone sharpened. "Lisa, get rid of all the evidence." The smile faded from my lips as he repeated himself, dragging each word like I was deaf the first time. "I said get rid of every piece of evidence."I rolled my eyes. "I will.""Don't just tear the magazine, burn every page…to the very last piece and flush it down the drain. It must disappear." He didn't wait for me to answer. "The fake pregnancy bump." My eyes dro

  • 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
