Nova’s point of view

It's been two weeks since Sarah's visit. It's also been two weeks since I had seen Reed. Two weeks since we had sat in his car and made a decision that still made me question my sanity every morning.

I stared at my computer screen. The same document had been open for nearly forty minutes. I hadn't written a single word. My fingers rested on the keyboard, motionless, while my mind returned to the same question it had been asking me for fourteen days.. Was I stupid?

    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 It's been two weeks since Sarah's visit. It's also been two weeks since I had seen Reed. Two weeks since we had sat in his car and made a decision that still made me question my sanity every morning.I stared at my computer screen. The same document had been open for nearly forty minutes. I hadn't written a single word. My fingers rested on the keyboard, motionless, while my mind returned to the same question it had been asking me for fourteen days.. Was I stupid?I leaned back in my chair. "No, seriously, Nova. Are you stupid?"The computer continued humming. I glanced at it. "Don't look at me like that. You know I'm asking a valid question."I turned away from the screen and folded my arms. Two weeks. Reed and I had agreed to stay away from each other for three months…Ninety whole days. Approximately two thousand one hundred and sixty hours of pretending I wasn't waiting for a man who had given me no guarantee that he would return.I pressed my lips together. "

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    Betrayal sounds so exciting

    Damon's point of view For a moment, I didn't understand him. The word seemed to hang in the room without meaning. Then I blinked. “Me?” I let out a short laugh.”You've officially lost your mind.”His expression remained serious. “Who would be better suited? You know Reed's businesses. Every organization. Every project. Every connection he trusted. You understand how he operated, how he negotiated, and how he made decisions.”“I work for Reed. I don't run the family.”“You've been doing more than working for him.”I shook my head.“Listen to me.” His voice sharpened, and the men behind him shifted almost imperceptibly. “You were the person Reed sent when something needed to be handled quickly. You were the one who made the calls he didn't have time to make. You were the one who dealt with the people who needed a harder approach.”I opened my mouth, he raised a hand.“Let me finish.” I closed it. “Reed was the strategist. The mind. You were the execution. The force that turned his deci

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    A strategy that could take us all to hell

    Damon's point of view “You’re kidding, right?” My voice came out sharper than I intended, but the man sitting across from me didn't even blink. He sat in a high-backed leather chair, one ankle resting over the opposite knee, his posture relaxed in a way that made the room feel smaller. His dark suit was perfectly fitted, his silver watch catching the low light whenever he moved his hand. A cigar rested between his fingers, its smoke curling slowly toward the ceiling.My eyes drifted to the two men standing behind him. Both wore black suits and dark glasses. Their hands were folded in front of them, their expressions unreadable. They hadn't spoken once since they entered the room, but I knew what they were capable of. Their silence wasn't peaceful. It was controlled. I looked from them back to the man in the chair.“You want to go against Cole's family?” I asked. “What the hell is wrong with you? Are you tired of being among the living?”Big Joe took a slow drag from his cigar. He did

    Reed's point of view She's pregnant. The thought hit me so hard that, for several seconds, I forgot how to breathe. I sat on the floor with my back against the side of my bed, staring at nothing. My hands rested loosely between my knees, but every muscle in my body felt tense. My child was growing inside Nova. What was I supposed to feel? I dragged both hands over my face and exhaled slowly. Happy or scared? I didn't even know. All I knew was that my mind had become a battlefield. If I had heard this news two, three months ago… I might have danced in joy. God knew I had wanted a family. More than I had ever admitted to anyone. There had been nights when I imagined a different life, a quieter one. A home that belonged to me. A woman I loved. Children running through rooms that had never known the kind of darkness I grew up around. And now, somehow, that dream has found its way into my hands. So why the fuck do feel terrified? I lowered my head and raked my fingers through my hair.

    Nova's point of view My eyes drifted back to Sarah as she reached for her glass, took a small sip, and leaned back. “ A neighbor helped me leave the village to this city. When I came here, I changed everything. My name, the way I dress and my appearance.” Her fingers slipped through the short strands. “I cut it because I didn't want anyone to recognize me.”I stared at her. “Wait. You mean you've always had short hair?”Sarah burst out laughing. “No.” She reached for her phone. “I used to look completely different.” She unlocked her phone, scrolled for a moment, then turned the screen toward us.My eyes widened. “God…You were really beautiful.”Sarah laughed.I looked from the picture to Sarah. The woman in the picture barely looked like the Sarah sitting beside me. Her hair was long, her face softer, and she had a beautiful, fuller figure. “You had a classic figure eight.”“Don't remind me.” She laughed.I smiled, handing the phone to Elsa. “Your daughter must have taken your beauty

    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.
