Married To His Billionaire Boss Chapter 42.
Nova's POVThe conference room felt colder than usual today, though maybe that was just my nerves. Or perhaps my intuition was trying to warn me what was coming. Levi sat beside me, in full business mode, though I could feel the subtle tension radiating from him. His fingers tapped once against the table—that tiny tell I'd come to recognize as restrained irritation. The expensive cologne he wore this morning had faded to just a hint, mixing with the scent of fresh coffee someone had brought in earlier.Across the room, Jace stood beside the presentation screen, his posture too rigid to be natural. Naomi hovered right next to him, both wearing identical expressions—strained confidence plastered over obvious anxiety. Their matching navy suits couldn't hide the fact that they were rattled. Last week's takedown hadn't just bruised their egos—it had set fire to their pride and left them scrambling to salvage their reputation.I leaned back into my chair, crossing my legs at the ankle, a

The screen came to life, revealing the first slide of my presentation. "Project Phoenix: Full-System Rebuild & Future-Proof Architecture" in bold serif font. Clean. Minimalist. Confident. Just like I needed to be right now, despite the thundering pulse beneath my carefully pressed silk blouse.Twelve pairs of eyes watched me with expressions ranging from curiosity to skepticism. These weren't just board members—they were kingmakers in the industry, people whose decisions shaped fortunes and futures.Jace and Naomi were already seated. His fingers drummed an impatient rhythm while hers tapped on her tablet, a half-smile playing at her lips like she was privy to a joke no one else understood. I glanced at the board members, letting the silence linger just a breath longer before I began. "This," I said, gesturing to the screen with a deliberate calm that belied the acid churning in my stomach, "is what you were supposed to get the first time around. A true evolution. Not a facelift,

Nova's POVIt has not been that long since the conference room door was closed when it was suddenly pulled open by one of the secretaries. It was three of them who walked in, carrying two balanced bottles in an ice bucket and glass cups. They moved in swift manners like they have done this countless times.I blinked, momentarily caught off-guard by this unexpected intrusion into the aftermath of my professional coup. The board members paused their technical discussions, turning toward this new development with curious expressions that soon melted into knowing smiles."Mr Adams insisted," Gloria explained. Her eyes met mine with a warm smile that felt genuine rather than out of courtesy. "He said some victories demand proper recognition."Levi’s grandfather still sat in his chair, watching with a pleased expression, like a chess grandmaster who had anticipated this move long before the pieces were in position. There was something almost paternal in his gaze. The soft pop of the fir

Nova's POV "You're a barren woman! A failure as a wife and a daughter-in-law! When I was your age Jace was already 5! When will you give me a grandchild? ” Sarabi, my mother-in-law, screamed in my face. “I'm not barren. The doctors said we just need more time.” I replied. I've been trying to explain this to her for 5 years since I married Jace but she never stopped torturing me. Instead, the torture grew worse with every passing day. “For what exactly? The only thing you do is to spend my son's hard-earned money. Jace can do so much better than a gold digger like you!” Sarabi said and walked out but not before pushing the tray of tea cups to the floor. Leaving a mess I had to clean up. But I knew that this was far from over. Sarabi would not rest until she had destroyed me. Until she had proven her superiority over me. But she was never like this, I vividly remembered how nice she was when I dropped out of school to support Jace. How supportive she was when I had to work mult

Nova's POVI groaned as I slowly tried to open my eyes, I had to squint them just to concentrate on the bright light shining above me. I looked round to see I was in a room, a hospital room to be exact. I was surrounded by beeping machines and sterile white walls. A faint smell of antiseptic hung in the air.A gentle voice spoke beside me. "Welcome back. I am Dr Smith. You've been out since last night."I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain in my stomach made me gasp. Dr Smith quickly pressed a button, and a nurse rushed in to adjust my bed."What...what happened?" I stammered.Dr Smith lowered his gaze and spoke softly, "You were brought in last night, bleeding heavily. We had to perform emergency surgery to save your life."My mind was foggy, but memories began to resurface. The engagement, the argument with Jace, the slap, the fall...and lastly the blood. Everything that happened was real.But Dr. Smith's next words shook me to my core. "Unfortunately, we were unable to save the baby

Nova's POV Two Weeks Later It had been two weeks since I'd left my old life behind, and I was slowly starting to feel stronger. Working as a bartender in Las Vegas was a far cry from my old life, but it was a fresh start. Max, the man I met in front of my house that unfortunate day took me in. After explaining my problem to him he let me stay and we ended up moving out of that house together. Just to get closer to his workplace in Las Vegas. Max appeared at my side. "Nova darling, I need your help," he said. "What's up?" I asked, following him as he nodded towards the VIP section. "One of the girls is having some trouble with a customer," he said. "I need you to go and calm things down." I nodded, making my way over to the VIP section. Since the day I met Max my self-esteem actually improved, I wouldn't say 100% but I was finally able to speak up for myself and also confront people. Normally, I would just apologise for everything even though I wasn't at fault. As I approached,

Nova's POVHe cleared it all. Even though I wasn't ready to face him, I had to. I couldn't let this one slide too. As the cab got closer to the company's building, I felt lightheaded, and I almost considered turning back. But Max's pale face and red eyes made my heart ache soo much.I took a deep breath and made my way inside the building. Fortunately, I spotted Jace happily talking to some of his colleagues surrounding him. But as soon as he saw me, his face twisted to an angry scowl.He plastered a fake smile on his face before he left them and walked up to me. "What are you doing here, Nova?" he whispered harshly, pulling my arm along with him. "I thought I made it clear that I'm done with you and I don't ever want to see you anywhere near me. Why can't you freaking move on?”"I'm not here to beg you, Jace, I'm here for something else,” I replied, pulling my arm away from his grip. “The joint account. How could you drain it and leave me with nothing?”But Jace just laughed and r

Nova's POV“Will you really do anything I want?” I asked, and he nodded."I'll do it," I said finally.I watched Levi relax back into his seat, his once creased brow now relaxed, and his hair was already slightly dishevelled. He closed his eyes, and for a moment, I thought I saw him smile. Then, he let out a soft breath, almost like a puff of air, as if he'd been holding his breath for a long time. "Thank you." He said. I guess he really needed me for his plans, too, but it was good. This way, we'd get what we want.He stood up and walked over to a nearby cabinet, then turned back to face me. "Juice?" he asked, smiling.“Hmm,” I nodded, watching Levi mix the contents of two juices together. I stared at him confused as I wondered why he did so. Why didn't he just offer me one? I found it quite disturbing, but I couldn't voice out my concerns just yet.After he poured the mixture into two glasses, one for me and one for him, he handed me mine. But I waited for him to drink first, and

Nova's POVBy the time I pulled into the driveway, the ache in my chest had dulled, leaving behind a quiet sort of exhaustion that settled deep in my bones. My fingers were still tight around the steering wheel, reluctant to let go as if holding on might somehow keep the rest of my world from unravelling. The setting sun painted the sky in a very beautiful way.The porch light was on, making me admire the front steps that I had not really paid attention to. I still remember how Levi had come to save me from the swarm of reporters that bombarded my small apartment that day. That was a sign of an intentional man even though all of this started as business, and slowly transformed into something warm and intimate, something that I am slowly accepting.When I finally opened the car door, the scent of sautéed onions and something rich and buttery drifted into the night air. My stomach growled despite the knot of anxiety that had been my constant companion all drive down home. I hadn't ea

Nova's POV The evening breeze was chilly on my skin, an odd contrast to the heat of the office that still hummed with stress after the day's chaos. The parking lot was almost vacant now. I should've gone straight to my car. But I didn't. Maybe I needed a minute. Maybe I just needed to breathe. Or maybe some part of me knew this confrontation was inevitable—had been building since the moment Jace's eyes locked with mine across the conference room this morning, widening in that split-second before his professional mask slammed back into place.Ten hours of pretending we were strangers had left me hollow. Ten hours of watching him charm clients with that same smile that once promised me forever. Footsteps echoed across the pavement behind me—sharp, deliberate. I didn't have to turn to know who it was. His presence hit before his voice did. "Why the hell did you marry Levi? Did you even think about me? He's my boss for Christ's sake, how could you forget that?" He whispered harshl

Levi's POVShe has no idea how close I came to losing control.I leaned back against the bathroom counter, palms braced against the edge, eyes locked on my reflection in the mirror. My heart was still pounding, and it had nothing to do with the short walk from the bedroom to here. It was her. It was always her. Nova—with her storm-tossed hair and hungover pout, with the faint hickey I'd left behind like an idiot who couldn't keep his mouth to himself. She looked like trouble and temptation, and everything in me ached to surrender to it.The sound of the shower running filled the space, but my head was full of her. Her voice. Her laugh. The heat in her eyes when she thought I wasn't looking. The way she said: "Are you seriously just going to walk out after teasing me like that?" Like she had any idea how hard it was for me to walk away at all.I gripped the counter tighter, knuckles whitening. I hadn't slept a damn minute last night. Not because she'd been in my room, curled up

Nova's POVThe scent hit me before anything else. It was warm, buttery, and definitely delicious. The delicious aromas cut through the fog of my hangover effortlessly. My stomach growled in appreciation, a natural response that my brain was too jumbled to properly control. I was soo fucking hungry!I was too busy sorting through last night's blurred edges, trying to piece together exactly how embarrassing my behaviour had been.I winced as I flopped back onto the bed, the movement sending a dull throb through my temples. The champagne hangover was already taking root behind my eyes, making everything too bright and too loud even in the silence. Smooth, Nova. Real smooth.My inner voice was particularly sarcastic this morning. Flashes of memory surfaced like debris after a storm: laughing too loudly, dancing without music, singing off-key and so on.A soft knock on the door made me sit up again—slower this time—and try to pat down the mess of tangled hair on my head. Not like it he

Nova's POVThe movie faded into the background, everything else became non-existent to me as I lost myself in the sweetness of Levi's lips. Our moans began to create a harmonized melody that I wouldn't mind if it went on forever. The sensual sounds travelled deep into my bones, rooted themselves there and made me feel hazy in the head.My fingers traced the contours of his jaw, feeling the slight stubble beneath my fingertips. Each touch sent electricity through my veins, making me bolder, making me want more. The taste of champagne lingered on his tongue, intoxicating me further than the alcohol ever could.God, Levi is dangerous for me. But I don't want that danger to stop pursuing me. I want the danger to catch me, envelope and suffocate me. I want to be lost in the deep pools that have no escape. Yes, that's crazy. I was that crazy for this moment shared with Levi.His hands roamed my sides, hesitant at first, then growing more confident with each passing second. Every place he
Married To His Billionaire Boss Chapter 36.
Nova’s POVThe champagne tickled the back of my throat as the movie flickered on. My body hummed—not just from the alcohol, though that definitely helped, but from him. From the way Levi sat beside me with one arm resting loosely behind the pillows, his fingers occasionally brushing against my shoulder like it wasn't intentional.I knew better.But I kept quiet about it, like I had been for weeks now. What was I supposed to say anyway? Hey, I notice every time you touch me and my skin feels like it's on fire. Mind keeping that up? Yeah, right.I could smell the cologne on his skin—rich and familiar, like cedar and something I couldn't quite place. I could hear the shift in his breathing during every heated scene, the subtle way his chest would rise just a little more when the characters got closer, mouths parted, moaning into each other's skin. And maybe I was projecting, maybe I was losing my mind, but every now and then, I caught him stealing glances at me.Not subtle ones, eith
