Semua Bab Married To His Billionaire Boss: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Nova’s POVSunday mornings used to mean nothing to me—just another day to survive, another shift to work through. But lately… they’d started to feel different. Like little breaths of peace in the middle of chaos.I was still in bed when the soft hum of the city crept through the windows. Sunlight poured across the sheets like melted gold, and the warmth of it made it even harder to move. The apartment smelled faintly of citrus and whatever soap Levi used that made my head feel fuzzy with comfort.And I didn’t want to move. Wrapped in the plush blanket, I buried my face into the cool pillow and let my thoughts drift. For once, there wasn’t any pressure—no meetings, no deadlines, no pretending. Just a quiet Sunday in Levi’s apartment. And I was perfectly content to stay lazy for as long as the universe would let me.I heard the soft pad of footsteps, and then his voice—low, still sleepy. “You’re awake.”I turned my head slowly and smiled. Levi stood in the doorway, towel hanging from

Nova’s POVI didn’t remember the walk back to my office. My heels clicked against the tile floor with mechanical rhythm, Levi’s presence at my side grounding me, but inside—inside I was unravelling.Shari.Of all the people.I kept hearing her voice from last month, soft and hopeful, as she told me how inspired she was by my story. How much it meant to see someone who looked like her—someone who’d made it.She’d smiled.She’d asked for advice.She’d been kind.Or maybe she’d just worn the mask better than most.I sat down slowly at the edge of the small sofa in Levi’s office, my fingers still curled in the memory of her name.“She must’ve hated me the whole time,” I said, staring down at my hands.Levi stood in front of me, arms crossed, jaw tight. “Then that’s on her, not you. Whatever resentment she carried, it was hers to deal with—not to weaponize.”“But I need to know why,” I whispered. “Why go this far? To paint me like some… villain?”“Then let’s ask her,” Levi said simply. “No

Levi’s POVMonday passed quickly.Quicker than I would have preferred.Nova had already left when I came down and though I was half-tempted to chase after her because of my hard-on. I had a stack of time-sensitive documents from our European office that could not wait any longer. She had kissed me farewell, soft, brief, sweet but there was a quiet determination in her eyes that told me she was reaching for something more than the pain of the last few days. She had endured so much and I could tell by the tension at the corners of her mouth, the way her fingers brushed across my chest before she pulled back.I resented being not beside her as she stepped into that office.But she had asked me to promise. "You've got a company to run," she had told me, rubbing her thumb along my jawline. "And I have got a day to conquer. Let's both do it." Her tone was full of that familiar stubbornness I had grown to adore, the kind that informed her she did not need to be rescued but rather supported.

Nova's POVThe sun had already begun its slow descent into the horizon when I came in through the front entrance of the house, casting golden amber-colored shadows across the windows that ran from floor to ceiling. Stillness inside greeted me like an old friend, one that I was considerably more in need of than I realized.I removed my heels and set them alongside the console table, advancing barefoot over the waxed floor. Outside the glass, the soft thrum of the city throbbed, but inside, silence reigned. Quiet. As if the world waited with me, suspended breath. My coat fell from my shoulders and I hung it with care before proceeding into the kitchen."Mara," I whispered, aware that the housekeeper had a tendency to clean up around this time. And in fact, I could hear her steps soon afterwards."Yes, ma'am?""You may go to bed now," I said with a slight smile. "I have everything taken care of here."She blinked in mild surprise. "You are sure?"I nodded. "Yes, thanks to you."She ga

Levi's POVI arrived at the office a little earlier than usual yesterday's weight in my chest like a spectre. The air felt heavier today, electric, almost. I didn't want anything left to chance, not with Felicia appearing out of the blue like a phantom from a life I had long forgotten.The ride in had been tense, my knuckles whitened against the steering wheel as memories came pouring back, the empty church, the sympathetic glances, the shame that had rested on me for months to come. Time might have passed but the vision of her face again had recalled all of it with searing vividness.She told me all of it about what I was to her when she abandoned me on the wedding day. And now she has the audacity to expect that she can just return to my life. That chapter of my life was shut. Long buried beneath the earth's crust and I do not want anything to do with her.I drove into my reserved spot, idling for a moment in the quiet of my car, Nova's face still clear in my mind. The way she had h
