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 wild rhythm of my heart. “He’ll like it. He has to like it.” I shifted slightly under the desk, careful not to knock the chair beside me. My lips curved into a small smile. “Happy anniversary,” I practiced under my breath, smiling slightly. “I made this for you.” I paused, then frowned. “No… that was too stiff.” I tried again, softer this time. “Happy anniversary, my heartbeat…” “Yes,” I nodded to myself. “That’s perfect.” My heart swelled with a fragile kind of hope. The sound of the door unlocking echoed through the house. My heart leapt. “He’s here.” I straightened instantly, grabbing the cake carefully, my fingers tightening around the plate. “Okay, Nova… breathe.” The door creaked

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, swallowing hard against the lump forming in my throat. I couldn’t even form the words, the idea of hope still felt foreign, almost cruel. My voice cracked when I finally whispered, “So… you’re saying… I’m not infertile?”The doctor shook his head, a gentle smile appeared on his face. “Your results are clear. Your fallopian tubes are intact, no blockages, no problems at all. There’s a high chance you could conceive immediately.”For a second, I just stared at him. Then everything hit at once. Five years of humiliation, endless nights of feeling broken, and it had never been me. It had never been my body failing me.I could feel the tears starting, but I blinked them back, swallowing the grief tha

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 turned me around, my dress went to the ground in a second, and I felt his huge boner against me. “Fuck,” I moaned as he continued pushing against me, kissing my neck at the same time. He whispered against my ear, “tell me. Tell me what you want.” The only sound that came out of my mouth were hungry, lustful moans. With one sharp tug of his fingers, my bra top gladly gave way. My breasts spilled out, hot and heavy, ready for his touch. He didn't touch them immediately, instead, he circled the skin around, my collar bones, my upper belly. “P-please…fucking hell, touch me…” I said. I couldn't even recognize my voice. His hot palms landed on my breasts, my nipples hardened to rosy points as

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!”The words hit, but they didn’t penetrate,not the way they used to. There was no sting, no tightness in my chest, no desperate urge to explain myself. No need to fall to my knees and cry for forgiveness.I simply looked at her. And felt… nothing. “Do you have any idea how much we lost because of your stupidity?” Kael’s voice followed, sharp and impatient. There it was…the real reason he was angry,not because I actually slept out, but because his puppet wasn't there to save his sorry ass. A laugh slipped out of me before I could stop it. Both of them paused.Kael frowned. “What the hell is funny?”I shook my head slowly, the laugh still lingering at the edge of my lips. “You,” I said. “Both of

A closed door

Nova's point of view For a second, the only sound I heard was the heavy beating of our hearts. Then, Kael’s voice exploded. “What?!” Before I could even steady myself, his hand grabbed my hair, hard enough to hurt. He yanked me forward, my body stumbling as I tried to keep up, my heart already racing. The next second, my back slammed into the wall.“You dare raise your filthy hands on my mother?” he growled, his face inches away from mine, His grip tightened slightly, not enough to choke me completely, but enough to remind me how easily he could. “What the hell is giving you such boldness?” he demanded. “I wanted to make this easy for you,” he continued, his voice dropping into something cold and dangerous. “But clearly, you don’t deserve that.” Each word landed slowly, like he wanted me to feel every single one.“From now on,” he went on, his eyes locking into mine, “if I see you anywhere near any of my properties, I’ll have you arrested.” My fingers tightened slightly against his

All too familiar

Nova's point of view I pulled my knees to my chest and wrapped my arms around them, sitting in a quiet corner of the street. My suitcase stood beside me, useless, just like me. It all felt too familiar….this trembling, this uncontrollable helplessness. My chest rose unevenly, and before I could stop it, the past came rushing back. ************* I was nine again, curled up outside a door that would not open. “I’m sorry… I’m sorry…” My voice had been hoarse even then, breaking over words I didn’t understand, I didn’t even know what I had done wrong, only that I had to apologize, because if I didn’t… it would get worse. That night was like every other night, locked outside for something so small, something a nine year old couldn't understand. The cold bit into my skin, my clothes were thin, barely enough to cover me, and my feet… God, my feet hurt. Small cuts burned with every movement. My stomach twisted painfully, reminding me I had stayed hungry for far too long. Inside the h

A new job

Nova's point of view I woke slowly to the sound of Elsa’s voice somewhere in the house. For a moment, my body didn’t want to get up yet. It sank deeper into the couch, feeling the warmth of the blanket wrapped around me. I blinked toward Elsa, still half asleep.“When did you get back yesterday?” I mumbled, rubbing my eyes. “I waited all night…”My voice faded when I noticed the television still glowing softly in the corner.“God,” I groaned quietly, sitting up a little. “I didn’t even switch off the TV.”My eyes lazily looked sideways for the remote while Elsa’s voice floated from across the room.“Sorry, I got back late.”But something else caught my attention before I could respond.Elsa was already dressed for work. I sat upright so fast the blanket slid off my shoulders. “You’re leaving?”Elsa glanced at me while fixing her sleeve. “I made breakfast.”“No…,” the word left my mouth before I could stop it.She frowned slightly. “No?”“You’re not leaving me here.” I pushed myself o

Unexpected past

Nova's point of view The moment his arms wrapped around me, every nerve in my body went on immediate locked down.I pulled away from him almost immediately, my fingers tightening painfully around the notepad in my hand as though it was the only thing keeping me upright.“I’m sorry,” I said softly, forcing my voice to stay steady. “I think you mistaken me for someone else.”The man stared at me, then he laughed, like I had just told him the sky was green.“What?” he chuckled, shaking his head slowly. “Sugar, I’d recognize you with my eyes closed.”The nickname crashed into my chest like something physical.‘Sugar’... .God…I hadn’t heard that name in years, not since the part of me that still dared to dream had died.Still, I forced a polite smile onto my face, though it felt stiff and unnatural.“Would you like to place your order..now?” I asked flatly, cutting him off before he could say anything else.His confusion deepened instantly, his brows pulled together as he stared harder at

Wouldn't just let go

Nova's point of view I stood completely still beneath the dim light outside the restaurant, my pulse refusing to settle no matter how hard I tried to calm myself.I slowly turned, the man stood in front of me staring like he had just found something he buried years ago and never expected to see again. Part of me wanted to run again, another part wanted to deny everything until he gave up and walked away, but my feet refused to move.For a few long seconds, neither of us spoke.The silence stretched strangely between us then slowly, I raised my eyes to him.He studied my face carefully, his gaze moving over me like he was trying to compare the woman standing in front of him to a memory he had protected for years. Then he shook his head softly, almost laughing under his breath.“No,” he murmured. “I can’t be mistaken.” His eyes brightened again, excitement slipping into his expression so naturally it almost hurt to look at. “I’ve been your fan for too many years not to recognize you.”M

My past dump

Nova's point of view I was still staring at Damon when Elsa’s voice cut through the noise outside the restaurant.“NOVA!”I blinked hard, like somebody had shaken me awake from a dream. Elsa walked toward us with quick steps, her bag hanging carelessly from one shoulder, her expression bright and suspicious at the same time. She looked from Damon to me, then back to Damon again, immediately narrowing her eyes like she had just caught me committing a crime.“Hi,” she said cheerfully, stopping beside me. Damon smiled politely at her before turning back to me. The playful look on his face faded slightly, replaced by something more serious.“Think about it, okay?” he said gently. “But not for too long. I’ll need to inform my boss soon.”I nodded slowly, still trying to process everything he had said since he walked back into my life like six years had not happened.“Thank you,” I said quietly. “Just… give me some time.”“Take all the time you need,” Damon replied easily. Then his lips cu
