All Chapters of The Wife They Tried To Bury : Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Nova's point of view A long frustrated sigh escaped me and I grabbed my purse. "I don't have the patience for this."I barely took two steps before something yanked my head backward. Pain exploded across my scalp as she dragged me by the hair. "You little witch." She jerked me back again. "I'm going to teach you a lesson you'll never forget." Before I could react, two more ladies stepped out from different restroom stalls.I blinked...so this was planned. No wonder her confidence had been overflowing yesterday, she hadn't come alone. She pushed me so hard, I almost hit one of the restroom doors.I slowly straightened, then smiled. "Oh, I see why your mouth is so loud now, you came with backup."One of the girls frowned and stepped forward. "You still dare to speak? Do you have a death wish?" A sharp laugh left me, my hands went to my mouth , trying not to hide the amusement on my lips. "Oh, I haven't even started."She shoved me. "You think you're funny?"I didn't even flinch. "I th

Reed's point of view The bottle was halfway to my mouth when someone snatched it away. I didn't even have to look up to know who would dare."Are you participating in a drinking competition," my sister asked dryly, "or have you officially decided to become an alcoholic?"I reached for the bottle, but she pulled it farther away. "I think that's enough alcohol for today."I let out a tired breath and leaned back against the chair. "I don't want to talk.""That's unfortunate." She sat opposite me, crossed her legs and placed the bottle behind her."Because I'm not leaving."I closed my eyes."Please."My sister stayed silent, her eyes locked in me. The music from the party drifted faintly across the resort, mixing with the sound of waves crashing against the shore. She watched me for a long time before speaking again."You either tell me what's going on..." She paused deliberately. "...or I go and get Mum."I opened one eye, but said nothing. She sighed, then clapped her hands like she

Reed's point of view The young woman looked up from the table with a gentle smile.Heat rushed to my face."I'm... I'm so sorry."She blinked once before laughing softly.."It's alright.".Her voice carried the same calm warmth that had made my heart stumble a second earlier."You wouldn't believe how often that happens. I've apparently been mistaken for half the female population."I chuckled, drawing out a chair. "So I've joined a very long list?""Oh, congratulations." She extended an imaginary certificate. "You've officially become Member Number Forty-Seven."A broad smile appeared on my face. "I feel honored."Across the table, Grandpa relaxed with an amused shake of his head. "This," Grandpa began, "is Sarah Lawson."I recognized the surname immediately.Lawson Global Holdings..One of the oldest business empires in the country..Sarah noticed the flicker of recognition.."My father enjoys making people work harder than necessary."Grandpa smiled."Her father has asked me for a favor.

Nova's point of view The sound of Damon's voice hit me like cold water. My arms loosened immediately, before I even realized what I was doing, I slipped out of Reed's embrace, or... I tried to. For a brief second, it felt as though his arms weren't ready to let me go. Then they relaxed, and my shoes met the pavement.Heat rushed into my cheeks so quickly that I was certain both men could see it. I smoothed down my coat, brushed an imaginary crease from my sleeve, adjusted my hair, finding anything to do, except look either of them directly in the eye.My gaze finally drifted toward Damon, his face was unreadable, then I looked at Reed. He looked… the same; perfectly calm, as though nothing unusual had just happened.I forced out a laugh. "Well... exactly." Silence responded to my incoherent phrase, "...I mean..." What exactly, Nova? I swallowed, God knew, I had absolutely no idea what to say. The words abandoned me, the three of us simply stood there while my embarrassment grew loud

Nova's point of view "Miss Nova of R’Cole Enterprises... Would you kindly join me on the stage?" The professor’s voice echoed in my ear. For one terrifying second, I forgot how to breathe. There had to be a mistake…..my fingers tightened around the armrest as every possible disaster crashed into my mind at once. Did I miss something? Did I submit the wrong file? Was there an error? Had they mistaken me for..."...Nova?" Reed's voice pulled me back and I turned toward him. His brows were knitted together with concern. "You okay?"I tried to answer, but nothing came out. The whispers had already started. "She was the one?" Another said…"I knew something was off. So she's the one who copied."...."I thought she was brilliant, such a shame..."Each whisper felt like another stone thrown at my chest. I swallowed hard, my legs refusing to move."Do you want me to come with you?" Reed asked quietly.I shook my head. "No..."Even my own voice sounded unfamiliar. "I'll...I'll handle it." I wasn
