Nova's point of view

I watched her expression turn into stone, still I wasn't done with her. "I've always believed elegance starts in the mind.".I tilted my head.

"But judging from this conversation....your designer forgot to dress that part."

The people watching laughed openly and her face turned crimson. She opened her mouth, but closed it again. Apparently, she wasn't used to losing arguments..I smiled one last time, before walking away. "Have a lovely evening."

My heart was still steaming

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    A new work space

    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

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    A new side of him

    Nova's point of view NOVA! My heart nearly jumped out of my chest when I heard Reed yelling my name. I froze over my desk, fingers tightening around the pen I had been pretending to use for the past ten minutes.Fuck! I had deliberately arrived at the office before sunrise for two reasons. First, I had barely slept, every time I closed my eyes, my mind dragged me back through every question I still couldn't answer. Second, I wanted to avoid Reed…completely, preferably until the end of time. So why the hell was the CEO in the office this early? Didn't rich people sleep until noon? Wasn't that one of the benefits of being ridiculously wealthy?The office door swung open and Reed stepped inside. I swallowed…. God, he looked terrible. His hair was a mess, his shirt was slightly wrinkled, and there were dark shadows beneath his eyes. He leaned against the doorframe for a moment, staring at me with an expression that made me reconsider every decision I had ever made, then his jaw tightened

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    What exactly is the real truth?

    Nova's point of view "Absolutely not." Sarah screamed, almost dropping her gift box."Why?" I asked, confused."Because the moment I step outside wearing something worth that much, somebody will assume I'm secretly rich…and kidnap me.""Exactly.” Ella nodded. "She's right.”I wanted to laugh…seriously, who would see Sarah and try to kidnap her, does the person have a death wish? My eyes fixed on Sarah’s and Ella's nervous faces and felt guilty. I would have dropped it, I would have waved it off and said I understand, but became getting on Reed's nerves suddenly felt like my new life’s mission…I couldn't."Please." I looked at the gifts scattered across the table, then at my friends. "Just wear yours tomorrow. I promise I'll wear mine too….I just want us to take a group picture…that's all.”Sarah narrowed her eyes at me. "You're really not going to let this go, are you?"I shook my head. "Not a chance."She sighed dramatically. "Fine..no wahala, as the Nigerians would say….. We'll we

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    Call me heartless. ...I fucking don't give a shit!

    Nova's point of view Was I really going to leave before Reed came back?.....Yes.Was I really going to leave every single thing he had bought for me behind?....Yes.Was that cruel?...Maybe.Did I feel guilty?...Not even a little.My fingers tightened at my side, if Reed came back and found the room empty, perhaps then he would finally understand that I was completely done with him. I waved down a cab and gave my house address. A deep sigh left me as I rested my head in the car seat. Reed needed to understand that money, expensive gifts, hospital rooms, bodyguards, flowers, or whatever else he could throw at me could not buy his way back into my life.By the time I reached home, my head was pounding. The moment I stepped out of the car, I realized the problem. "Shit."One of the security men noticed my hesitation and walked forward. "Madam?""I don't have cash on me. Can you lend me some? I'll pay you back."He immediately reached into his pocket."Of course, ma."I took the money

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    Damn you, Nova!

    Reed's point of view Five minutes after the doctor left, I stepped back into the room, Nova was standing beside the bed, her face wet, her hair all tied back and her shoes were on. My eyes dropped to them, then slowly traveled back up to her face..“What are you doing?”She adjusted the sleeve of her blouse as though I hadn't spoken..“I’m leaving.”I stared at her. “ Where?”“Home.” she replied calmly life she didn't just give me the greatest heart attack of the century. My eyebrows shot up. “Who discharged you?”“The doctor.”I walked toward her. “No…that isn't possible.”She gave me a blank look. “Why?”“You just collapsed… you were exhausted, dehydrated, barely eating, and the doctor was running tests.. and now you're just walking out?”She rolled her eyes. “The doctor said I could go.”I dragged a hand down my face. “What kind of doctor does that?”Nova's eyebrows lifted. “The kind who actually knows what he's doing.”She walked toward the door and I followed. “You need to rest…

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury     A fucking exhausting battle with the love of my life

    Reed's point of view “Boss! Do you want us to take care of him?” A low, dangerous voice shot behind me. My eyes remained fixed on where Damon had stood some minutes ago,and a long frustrated sigh escaped him. “No…. Damon is blood! We don't do such things to our blood ... .Just keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't do anything reckless.”I turned without waiting for a reply. Damon was the least of my problems right now. I walked back into Nova's room and she was still looking pale. My heart pounded. Why hasn't she woken up? Not even a sight movement…Is Doctor Well giving the right medication, or did he make a mistake? My eyes moved from my wristwatch to Nova…. it's been two fucking hours!I stood there until my legs ached, then my stomach growled and that was when it hit me. Food….Nova needs food.I immediately got into the car before igniting the engine, driving to the nearest supermarket.The moment I stepped through the automatic doors, heads turned. A group of young women s

  • 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
