Nova's point of view

I tightened my grip around my bag and walked out of the police station as soon as the officer disappeared down the hallway.

"Nova." Reed caught up with me in three long strides. "Nova, wait."

I stopped beside his car and looked straight ahead. "Let's go."

His brows pulled together. "What do you mean, let's go? We need to wait for the chief officer."

I opened the passenger door. "No. Let's go."

Confusion flashed across his face, but God knew, I didn't have the strength to a

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    The wrong flashdrive

    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 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

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    A very unexpected visitor

    Reed's point of view The Governor kept talking, I stood by the window with one hand in my pocket and the phone pressed against my ear, staring into the darkness beyond the glass."I understand your concern, Mr Alexander Cole, and I assure you, we are going to look into the matter personally.""Don't just look into it." My voice came out flat. "Investigate every officer involved."My jaw tightened. " And if I find out someone buried evidence, took a bribe, or helped whoever did this, I want them gone."The governor cleared his throat. "I'll do my best."I stared at my reflection. "You'll do more than your best Mr Governor, you do not want the Moretti and Cole family withdrawing their support…. would you?"The line went quiet, then eventually he answered, assuring me of a clean job….a few minutes later, the call ended. The moment the screen went dark, my mind went right back to Nova again. What if she really had been the one kidnapped? The thought slammed into me so hard my fingers ti

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    A very twisted thought

    Nova's point of view I picked up the spoon cautiously and bowed my head. "Heavenly Father, protect my stomach and preserve my dignity if this meal turns out to be a crime scene. Amen."Reed placed a hand over his chest. "Dear Lord, give Nova faith the size of a mustard seed. Apparently, she needs

    Kael's point of view How? How had she answered that question so effortlessly? That questions wouldn't make me sleep since the day of the first stage of the competition.R’Cole Enterprises wasn't some mediocre company, their hiring standards were brutal. The last article I'd read about them said t

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    Totally dead

    Nova’s point of view "Excuse me, I was only trying to explain…." My voice came out low, almost like the sight of the woman alone made fear creep into my body."Then explain why you thought you had the right to touch my car." Her voice cut through mine like a blade.Every time I opened my mouth, sh

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    A bigger problem

    Nova's point of view Reed's eyes bored into mine. The answers crashed through my head so fast that I almost forgot to hide them; Because every time you're close to me, I forget how to breathe, because when you touch me, my brain stops working, because if we spend three hours alone together every d
