Nova's point of view

"Who says the celebration has to end that quickly?" Mr. Charles looked at him and something changed in his face, almost immediately

"Oh..." He smiled. "You're right. I suppose I can spare a few minutes."

My eves moved from him to Reed and frowned. This was the second time I'd watched Reed speak......and Mr. Charles immediately changed his mind. For one ridiculous second...it almost looked as if Reed had authority over him.

No…..Don't start again….I'd already asked Reed. I

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    Caught in the act

    Nova's point of view My hand flew to my phone, but I didn't take my eyes off the screen of my laptop. Maybe I was wrong, maybe there was a perfectly reasonable explanation, or maybe...my stomach tightened.I tapped Reed's name, and the phone rang one, ten twice, then ended. I frowned and called again. Still, Reed didn't pick up. "Come on..." I whispered under my breath.."Please pick up."The third call barely rang before he answered. "Nova?" His voice was calm as always.. "Are you home?" I asked immediately. "Yeah, but I'm tied up with something right now. If it isn't urgent, can it wait?"I blinked…..Wait? Reed had never said that to me before, normally, no matter how busy he was, he'd ask what was wrong first.I forced a small laugh. "I just wanted to ask you something. If you're busy, it's okay, you can call me later.""Sure…..I will.".Before I could say another word.. the line went dead.I stared at my phone. "...That was strange.".For a moment I almost called again, instead, I o

I suppose I can spare a few minutes."My eves moved from him to Reed and frowned. This was the second time I'd watched Reed speak......and Mr. Charles immediately changed his mind. For one ridiculous second...it almost looked as if Reed had authority over him.No…..Don't start again….I'd already asked Reed. I refused to create mysteries where none existed, so I stepped in with the others, only then did I realized I was still holding my flash-drive. I thought of the pain if walking back to my office and missing the initial fun, and decided to drop it in Mr Charle's table.Damon popped the Champagne, and laughter filled the office. People kept talking over one another, yet… no matter where I moved… I could feel a pair of eyes following me.Every single time I looked up… Reed was already looking, not

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    false alarm

    Nova's point of view My heartbeat lurched so hard it hurt, I forced my shoulders straight and looked at Reed. "Did... did you check?" He didn't answer, instead, he walked over, dropped into the chair beside mine, leaned back, and simply nodded toward my computer. My stomach twisted, that silence… sais everything already. God! We'd lost. My fingers floated above the keyboard and I typed the login details, my hands wouldn't stop shaking. How could I have ruined this? Maybe I hadn't focused enough. Maybe because I'd spent too much time thinking about things I shouldn't have been thinking about. Oh God… Damon trusted me, the CEO had approved my appointment because of this competition, and I had destroyed everything. The loading icon spun, and so did my eyes. It felt like my entire future was hanging inside that tiny circle..I glanced sideways, Reed wasn't looking at the screen, he was looking at me. My heart dropped even lower. The page finally loaded. "Oh, God..." The words slip

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    The devastating news

    Nova's point of view Who says something like that after a hot kiss?.The thought came to the edge of my mind as I stared at Reed whose chest was still rising too fast, his lips still slightly parted, like he hadn’t quite recovered either. But it wasn’t the kiss that held me frozen. It was the lines of worry carved on his face. Without a word, I turned and walked into the kitchen, the storm building inside me gaining momentum with each step. My fingers found the glass before my mind caught up, and I poured water, watching it rise, without really seeing it. I held the glass, but didn’t drink immediately. Outside, the world moved like nothing had changed, but inside me, everything was turning into chaos.This was getting too far, the first kiss I told myself I was just being too emotional and needed a distraction, the second… The second had been a mistake, spur of the moment, but then it happened again. And now this time….. I wanted it. God help me, I wanted it just as much as he did.I

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    Lies that broke my heart

    Reed's point of view This was the moment, there wasn't going to be a better one, So tell her, just tell her the truth about yourself, tell her everything. The voice in my head almost cried and laughed at the same time.I drew in a slow breath. For some reason, my palms had started sweating. Damon coughed awkwardly. "I'll... give you two some privacy."Elsa glanced between us before nodding. "I'll come with you." The two of them walked away, disappearing through the door and the apartment suddenly became too quiet.Maybe that was it, maybe being left alone with her was what had my heartbeat climbing into my throat. My lips parted; "Hey... calm down. You look like you're about to punch me."The words hung in the air, I blinked, because hell no, that wasn't what I wanted to say. Nova didn't smile, she only looked at me, her brows knitting together. "I'm not angry." She paused. "I'm just confused."Her eyes stayed on mine. "There are things that don't add up anymore, Reed, and if there'

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    The most difficult question

    Reed's point of view "That... belongs to Nova." I felt Elsa's voice against my ear before I even registered the words, only then did I realize how close she was standing.I jerked away instinctively, taking several hurried steps into the kitchen. Damn it! How had she even found it? My mind raced so fast my head started pounding, forget the earring, how had my mother gotten in here without my men alerting me? Had she been watching me all along?A cold knot twisted inside my stomach. If she found Nova here.. everything would explode."Reed Alexander Cole!” My mother's voice rang through the house again, her heels clicked confidently against the marble floor. "I know you're hiding." She said, already climbing the stairs. "If I have to search every single room in this mansion, I will."Before I could think, my phone vibrated, a message from Damon appeared. “Come out now. If you don't, she'll search upstairs. You know who's there.”I closed my eyes for one second, took one deep breath, a

    Nova's point of view I stood completely still beneath the dim light outside the restaurant, my pulse refusing to settle no matter how hard I tried to calm myself.I slowly turned, the man stood in front of me staring like he had just found something he buried years ago and never expected to see ag

    Nova's point of view For a second, the only sound I heard was the heavy beating of our hearts. Then, Kael’s voice exploded. “What?!” Before I could even steady myself, his hand grabbed my hair, hard enough to hurt. He yanked me forward, my body stumbling as I tried to keep up, my heart already ra

    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
