All Chapters of The Wife They Tried To Bury : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Victoria's point of view The restaurant was quiet enough for me to hear the ice melting inside my glass. Soft piano music drifted through the room while warm golden lights reflected against the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city. Most people would have called the atmosphere peaceful, I called it irritating.I glanced at the diamond watch on my wrist for the third time in ten minutes. Twenty-seven minutes late…..he was twenty-seven minutes damned late. I slowly swirled the wine in my glass and reminded myself not to throw the entire bottle at his head when he arrived. The waiter approached nervously. "Would you like me to bring another bottle, ma'am?""No, “ I replied sharply, and the poor boy looked terrified again. Before I could decide whether to enjoy that, movement near the entrance caught my attention. Finally, the man I was waiting for walked in without hurry, without apology, and without even the slightest sign of concern that someone had been waiting for him. My i

Nova's point of view My heartbeat stumbled, my pulse thundering in my ears. “No,” I whispered, because that was impossible, I had spoken to him on different days, had dinner with him last night, argued with him, laughed with him."Oh…wait," Sarah said after a moment of silence.My head snapped up so fast my neck almost protested. Finally, there's proof I wasn't insane, she knew who I was talking about.Sarah had been staring at me like I was describing a ghost, but now her eyes widened with sudden recognition.“Are you talking about that ridiculously handsome guy?"I blinked….."...What?""The tall one.".She pressed a hand dramatically against her chest. "The one with the most seductive smile tagt would melt every woman's heart." Her eyes fluttered shut, another hand joined the first.I stared, forcing my mouth to stay closed."The way he talks..." she sighed dreamily. "It's like warm chocolate and expensive therapy mixed together."I continued staring, God help me, Sarah was no long

Reed's point of view "What the hell do you mean it's gone?" My voice cracked across the room. Everything Damon had said in the last five seconds sounded like a life sentence I was prepared for."Damon, do you understand what this means?"My body shot up from the chair like it was on fire. "Do you understand how badly this affects the company? "I already have enough problems. I do not need this right now. So, fix it, I don't care how, but fix it and don't call me again until you have.”I ended the call before he could answer, my hand ran through my hair in frustration, then I tossed the phone onto the couch, feeling a headache already building behind my eyes.Absolutely perfect, my company was on fire, my mother had practically kidnapped me back to London, and somehow Lisa was still managing to cause problems even after the breakup. I pinched the bridge of my nose."Mom."Across from me, my mother sat elegantly on the sofa, a cup of tea balanced in one hand."Really…..this isn't what

Reed's point of view The second I stepped out of my bedroom, something hard slammed into me."What the….."I didn't even finish the sentence when a hand grabbed my shoulder, another hooked around my neck and before I could breathe, the floor disappeared beneath my feet and I was flat on my back, completely pinned like a dogI tried twisting out, shoved upward, even rolled sideways, but nothing worked…."Are you kidding me?"The person sitting on my chest laughed directly into my ear… …"I told you.""Oh God," I groaned."I told you that no matter how tall you become, I will always be able to pin you down, “ she laughed.I stopped struggling, mostly because I was running out of oxygen, partly because I knew she was right. Slowly I raised both hands ...."I surrender.""Smart choice." My sister finally released me, I sat up, rubbing my ribs, mourning my dignity."One day," I muttered, "I'm going to figure out how you keep doing that."She laughed…."You've been saying that since you were
