Reed's point of view

I did not know what shocked me more, the fact that my mother had just announced my wedding to Lisa without my consent, or the fact that everyone at the table looked perfectly comfortable with it. For a moment, all I heard was the pounding of blood inside my ears, then a violent, burning heat that climbed from my chest to my throat. It took everything in me not to flip the dining table over, not to rain fire on every single person seated there.

Lisa was beaming, my mother w

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    My heart beats for only you

    Nova's point of view Reed, his cologne hit me the moment he entered the room…God, how had I fallen asleep on his bed? His security had let me through without asking a single question. The moment I stepped inside, the house had swallowed me whole. Everything looked painfully familiar, every corner carried a memory. His house had never felt like a house to me, it had always felt like a home to me. And maybe that was why my feet had carried me straight toward his wing without hesitation.I had expected to find him asleep. Instead, his bedroom had been empty. I should have left….I knew that. But exhaustion had settled into my bones, and when I saw his bed, something inside me simply gave up. I slipped beneath the sheets, telling myself I would wait, just for a little while. Apparently, my baby had other plans. Then the mattress shifted as Reed landed on it. For one impossible second, I forgot how to breathe. I wanted to reach for him. To wrap my arms around him and hold on until every

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    An intruder is about to die!

    Reed's point of view Truth was, Bruno looked less like a bodyguard and more like a rock someone had taught to walk. The man was enormous. His shoulders were so broad that standing beside my grandfather and me made us look like we had accidentally wandered into a meeting with a refrigerator. Thick arms strained against the sleeves of his black shirt, his chest was built like a concrete block, and his neck seemed to have been assembled separately from the rest of his body.His face didn't help, forever, stern, permanently irritated. I had never seen Bruno smile. At this point, I suspected smiling was against his job description. My eyes moved from him to the sack hanging over his shoulder. Something inside it twitched, then a muffled, desperate sound came. “Mmmp!”My eyes moved from the sack to my grandfather. He did not even blink, instead, he calmly pointed at it. “Open it.”The sack wiggled again. Apparently, whatever was inside had decided that being kidnapped by a man who looked l

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    The Don's fury

    Reed's point of view “You shouldn't have allowed him die.” The words scraped out of my throat, across the room, my grandfather didn't blink.“Somebody had to die in your place,” he said. “He was a bodyguard, he vowed his life to protect you.”I shut my eyes. Alex’s face flashed through my mind. He had been one of my most loyal men. “He had a family.” My voice cracked on the last word.“And that is why I compensated them. Generously. They will never have to suffer financially.”I opened my eyes and stared at him. That was always the answer…compensation, a figure written on a piece of paper, followed by a handshake and an assurance that the family would be taken care of. For years, I had accepted it, a man died protecting me, and his family received enough money to survive….End of story.Except now, it wasn't anymore. I could still see the flames,.my car exploding right in front of me.. and every time I blinked, I saw the person who had been inside it. “We didn't need to sacrifice him

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    When words hit like stones

    Nova's point of view Elsa turned toward the door, I grabbed her wrist. “Don't.” She stopped. “Don't you dare walk away from me.”“Let go.” She screamed , my fingers tightened.“You're not leaving this room until you explain what is happening.” My vision blurred. “Do you have any idea what the last four days have been like for me? I woke up every morning thinking maybe somebody had made a mistake. I called him. I sent messages. I waited for a reply that never came.” My voice cracked. “I sat in the office for hours because some stupid part of me kept thinking he would walk through that door.”A tear slipped down my cheek, I wiped it angrily. “I watched the news. I went to the police. I went to the hospital. I stood there barefoot in the same clothes while people whispered about me like I was crazy.” Elsa's eyes filled. “I couldn't breathe, Elsa.” My grip loosened. “I couldn't eat. I couldn't sleep.” Elsa's tears finally spilled. “Was I the only fool in this story?” My voice fell. “Or a

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    The hidden truth

    Nova's point of view If crying could bring back the dead, then Reed would have come back to me. If regret can turn the world back even for a second, then I wouldn't be this broken and If there's one thing I have left in this lonely life of mine, is to protect this baby. My palm flattened over my stomach. "If Reed is really gone..." The words caught in my throat and my eyes shut. "If he's really gone, then I'll do everything to keep you safe." A sob escaped me. "Because you're the only piece of him I have left." My fingers moved slowly across my stomach. "And if I can't do anything else for him, I'll do this." I wiped my face. "I'll keep you safe. I'll make sure you come into this world alive and healthy." My lips trembled. "That will be my gift to him." Another tear fell, as my heart tightened. "And I hope with this gift, he can forgive me."For the first time in days, I felt something other than emptiness. I finally had a reason to move on, to accept this miserable fate and stay 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
