Chapter 73

• Austin's expression remained detached as he delivered the blow. "There's no use for this confession, Nova. We're both married now." His words were a stark reminder of the reality they had both moved into.
• Nova's eyes flashed with determination as she countered, "We can fix this now. You don't have to pretend in front of me. I know you married Sara just to show me that you've moved on." Her voice was low and persuasive as she reached out to touch his jaw. "I know you still love me, and we can be together again."
• Her whispered words hung in the air, laden with intimacy, just as Sara walked into the room. Her eyes widened as she took in the scene before her: Nova's hand on Austin's jaw, their faces mere inches apart. A sudden surge of anger and jealousy coursed through her, and she strode over to them, her movements swift and decisive.
