Nova's point of view Victoria's voice wasn't particularly loud. The words sliced through the surrounding conversations so clearly that several people turned instantly and I felt every pair of eyes shift toward me. For one brief moment, silence settled over the hall, then the whispers began. I slowly turned toward Victoria.She stood beside Kael with a glass of champagne in her hand, looking as flawless and untouchable as ever, there wasn't even a hint of embarrassment on her face. She had insulted me publicly and looked perfectly comfortable doing it. Her smile widened, apparently, she was enjoying herself. Before I could respond, Mr. Charles stepped forward, to my shock, he positioned himself beside me."This woman," he said calmly, "is R’Cole's new acting team leader."A few eyebrows rose, the whispers increased, Victoria blinked, then she laughed. "Acting team leader?" She looked me over again. "Then perhaps R’Cole's Enterprise should start preparing itself for failure.”Her smil

Nova's point of view I stopped halfway through picking up my bag, the judge glanced down at his notes before looking back up."This competition has never been solely about identifying the most advanced technological solutions."The room remained still. "Technology evolves every day, new systems are developed. New innovations emerge, new companies rise, but what truly shapes the future of this industry is not technology itself."His gaze swept across the room."It is the minds behind it."Something in his tone made me slowly lower my bag."While we evaluate innovation, efficiency, scalability, and technical excellence, we are equally interested in identifying the individuals capable of driving the next generation of technological advancement."A few people nodded, the judge continued."We believe the future belongs not only to companies with great ideas but also to the people capable of creating even better ones."My heart skipped, I wasn't sure why. Maybe because his eyes had settle

Nova's point of view My finger pushed the airplane mode button before I could fully process it. My body cried from exhaustion, and I obeyed, pushing everything to the back of my mind, I cuddled myself to sleep. The next morning, I pushed open the door to the Senior Tech Department and nearly jumped out of my skin when a loud pop exploded over my head. Silver streamers rained down, then someone blew a party horn directly beside my ear."Congratulations!" The entire department erupted.For a second I just stood there, blinking at the chaos. A giant banner stretched across the room.CONGRATULATIONS SENIOR Tech TEAM!I exhaled slowly……God, these people had no idea that the CEO was probably halfway through drafting my termination letter after that disaster yesterday, yet here they were throwing a celebration. I shook my head and started toward my office, before I could reach the door, something caught my eye. My steps slowed, then stopped completely.“Wait…that definitely hadn't been ther

Nova's point of view I tried pretending I didn't like you, but failed. You drive me crazy and you became my favorite part of every day. I don't know when it happened, maybe during our first project, maybe the day I realized that when something good happened, you were always the first person I wanted to tell, I don't know, I just know that every future plan I make somehow includes you. So here's me being brave for once..Nova Reyes, would you let me take you out on a date? Would you let me be more than your friend? Because I think I've been in love with you for a very long time.DamonI read the letter once, then again, by the fourth time, the words had stopped looking like words. They had become some strange foreign language my brain refused to understand.I lowered the card, then stared at the wall.A short, broken sound escaped me. Nothing made any sense to me. My stomach twisted as memories suddenly began surfacing.One sunny afternoon, I had walked into the lab carrying enough bo

Reed's point of view “Young master, your Mom has really fainted,” I heard the head maid cry, but I didn't stop. I'd fallen for that trick too many times. My mother always knew exactly when to collapse, exactly when to cry, exactly when to make me feel guilty, but not tonight. Tonight I kept walking, I entered my room, locked the door, and leaned against it. My entire body shook, my chest felt tight. I have always hated getting angry, especially in front of the people I love. My body slid down until I hit the floor. tried to breathe, tried to calm down, it didn't work. I stood up, walked to the cabinet, poured myself a drink, finished it and still felt rage burning. My knuckles turned white from gripping the cabinet too hard. Then suddenly...my phone lit up. A video clip popped up, without thinking, I pressed play. Nova's face appeared on the screen, I watched her presentation, wowed at how she answered the question with confidence. By the time the video ended, I realized I had a sm
