Nova's point of view

By midnight, the senior development floor became as silent as a grave. The endless clicking of keyboards had disappeared hours ago. The holographic screens floating across the department had dimmed automatically, leaving only a few strips of cold white light glowing across the massive workspace, and somehow, I was still there.

Three different screens glowed in front of me while unfinished codes, failed simulations, and collapsed algorithm structures covered almost every in

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    Ripping my heart open

    Reed's point of view My chest jerked….“Please,” my voice cracked.“Please, just wake up.”The drive to the hospital became a blur of red lights, horns, trembling hands and one thought hammering against my skull….Please don't let her die. I had never prayed properly before, but somewhere between the second traffic light and the hospital gates, my lips moved.“Please.”.My knuckles whitened around the steering wheel..“Just let her be okay.”The car barely stopped before I was out. “Help!”My voice exploded across the entrance. “Nurse! Doctor!”A nurse came rushing toward me. “Sir, please calm down.”“Where is the emergency team?” I asked, ignoring her. She stopped me with both hands raised up.“We're bringing a stretcher.”“Bring it faster! “R’cole Enterprises sponsors half of this hospital's medical equipment.” The nurse froze and my jaw clenched. “If anything happens to her, I will personally burn this hospital down and make sure every person responsible answers for it.”“Sir, please

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    Disappearing

    Nova's point of view A loud laughter escaped me, my hands flew to my bed table that saved me from collapsing to the ground. That woman….the wicked air evolving around her was worse than Margaret's. God! I would have re- lived the same life without dying at all. My fingers tightened….God was actually saving me…. saving me from making the biggest mistake of my life. I stood up with a new determination. God does not give signs twice...but for me, he had given me more than I could count.****************The next morning, my breakfast sat untouched, again. I grabbed a bottle of fruit juice instead…that has become my entire relationship with food lately. I twisted the cap open and took a sip.My eyes drifted toward the calendar, by the weekend I would make a visit to the hospital, and I would get rid of this unwanted seed growing inside me… ..it's for the best!I took another sip, then headed to work. The new project had arrived at the worst possible time. Naturally, I had been assigne

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    A good sign or not?

    Nova's point of view My heels struck the floor with sharp, angry clicks as I stormed inside the house. Somewhere downstairs, a chair scraped."Nova?" Elsa's voice reached me but I kept walking. "Nova, are you okay?" She cried behind me, but I was already halfway upstairs. My room door slammed behind me, and the silence provoked me even further. I stood there with my back against the door, chest rising and falling, then I pushed away from it and began pacing.What the hell gave Reed the right? I spun around. "Who does he think he is?" The empty room, naturally, had no answer, even my furniture had more sense than the man I had somehow managed to fall in love with. I stopped in front of the mirror, my reflection mocked me. Fuck! I still looked like someone who had spent the last few days being emotionally dragged behind a moving truck.My lips pressed together, I narrowed my eyes, turned and resumed pacing. So that was his brilliant plan now? He had practically sent a small kingdom to

    Nova's point of view Reed's hand caught my arm before I could walk past him, forcing me to stop. I looked down at his fingers..“Let go.”“I never ended things with you. “His eyes held mine. “So, you have no right to be in another man's arms.”For a second, I just stared at him, then I scoffed.“You’av really got some nerve.”His brows pulled together.“A lot of nerve coming from a married man.”“Married?” The word came out sharp. “Nova, when did I ever get married?”I laughed without humour. “Please.”“No.” His hand dropped from my arm. “Where did you see the headlines? I told you before, Lisa lied.” He pulled out his phone, his fingers moved quickly, then he held it out to me. “ Watch the CCTV footage of my house that day…. please.”I didn't look down, didn't even bulge. Red sighed, then he took out a piece of paper. “It's the contact of the person connected to that publication. Call them, ask whatever you want.”I folded my arms and Reed stepped closer, then stopped when I moved ba

    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. And I followed his lead like I had no choice in the matter. He dragged his mouth away from mine, swore as he turne

    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

    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
