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.

  • 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 “What do you need, doctor?” I asked.Sarah turned toward me. The doctor looked at me. “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 reception. Olivia's mother would need to complete the paperwork whil

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    The heavy blow

    Nova's point of view “Nova.” Sarah’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts. She and Olivia had reached the car. “Hey,” Sarah said with a smile. “This is Olivia. Olivia, this is Aunt Nova.”I crouched slightly and opened my arms.Olivia looked at me for a second before rushing forward. “Hi! I’ve heard a lot about you.”I laughed as she hugged me around the waist. “You have?”“Yes. Mummy keeps talking about you.” She pulled back and studied my face with complete seriousness. “You’re the… what’s it called?”I glanced at Sarah. Sarah shrugged, already amused. Olivia snapped her fingers as though trying to remember something very important. “You’re Sugar! The AI goddess.”I raised an eyebrow. “AI goddess?”“Yes!” she exclaimed. “Mummy said you’re sweet, and I told her I wanted to be as smart as you when I grow up.”For a moment, I couldn’t speak. Did all of that really just come out of her mouth?A laugh escaped me, but it trembled at the edges. I felt tears gathering behind my eyes. “Oh, sw

    Nova's point of view "Ethan?" My voice drifted in the air.My younger stepbrother turned toward me.His face lit up. "Nova!" He crossed the space between us and pulled me into a hug so quickly that I barely had time to react. I laughed, wrapping my arms around him. "I missed you.”"What are you doing here?" He held me for another moment before finally stepping back. "I came last week, but you weren't here. At least, I didn't think you were.""Yeah, I wasn't around much."His eyes moved over my face, and his smile softened. "Are you okay?" The question caught me off guard. I quickly nodded."I'm fine. How are you? How's Dad?"" Fine." He hesitated, then smiled. "Dad got a new job."My face brightened. "Really?""Yeah. It's security work, but it's something. At least he can start earning again."A warm feeling spread through my chest."That's wonderful, Ethan. I'm happy for him.""Me too. Things aren't perfect, but we're trying to move forward." He looked around the reception area. "A

    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 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.

    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
