Chapter 89 Finding Out Nova’s Leaving Intention–Kael Panicked Completely!Â
Still no answer.Â
In the end, Sam had no choice but to leave the documents on the CEO’s desk, planning to tell Kael about it the next day.Â
Meanwhile, at Sloane’s apartment, after their tryst, Kael finally sobered up a little.Â
Sanity returned, and when he saw Sloane lying beside him, a wave of annoyance washed over him.Â
His gaze then fell on the incense burner in the corner, and his eyes hardened instantly.Â
He knew his alcohol tolerance well–he’d never gotten so drunk that he lost control. The incense must have been laced with something.Â
Sloane had no idea what he was thinking. She moved the pillow from behind her back, leaned up, and pressed a kiss to his jaw.Â
‘Kael, stay with me tonight, okay?”Â
Before she could finish, Kael’s cold, sharp gaze locked onto her. He reached out and grabbed her chin, his grip tight. “Did you light that incense?”Â
‘Ah…” Sloane yelped, her face turning pale. “Kael, let me explain-”Â
Kael shook off her in disgust, got out of bed, and quickly put on his clothes. “Didn’t I tell you never to play tricks on me?”Â
loane stared at his cold back, her chest aching with bitterness. She mustered up the courage to get out of bed and cling to him from behind. “I just… I just vanted you to stay with me a little longer… even for a minute…”Â
Kael finished buttoning his shirt and turned around.Â
or a split second, Sloane thought he’d softened–hope flickered in her eyes. “Kael…”Â
ut his next words plunged her into an ice bath.Â
Do this again, and I’m sure there will be plenty of people lining up to ‘keep you company.” He squeezed her chin, his warning clear and cold.Â
loane’s face turned deathly white.Â
Jumiliation welled up, making her eyes burn with tears.Â
Jl she’d wanted was a little of his time, and he’d not only brushed her off but also said something so cruel. Yet for Nova, he was always gentle and patient.Â
Give me your phone.” Kael’s voice was sharp.Â
loane froze, swallowing down her bitterness as she handed it over. “What do you want my phone for?”Â
ael shot her a cold glance, unlocked the phone, and started scrolling through it.Â
loane watched in confusion–then her heart felt like it had been sliced open when she saw what he was checking,Â
he forced a bitter smile. “Don’t worry. I didn’t take any photos or videos at the stadium today. Why would I cause you trouble?”Â
ears blurred her vision.Â
he should have known Kael hadn’t come for her–he’d come to make sure she hadn’t captured anything that might reach Nova, or end up online and embarrassÂ

But what about her? To him, she’d always been just a toy–her pride meant nothing.Â
After checking the phone, Kael didn’t give it back. “I’m taking this. Sam will bring you a new one tomorrow.”Â
With that, he grabbed his jacket and strode out without looking back.Â
Sloane’s lips parted, wanting to beg him to stay, but she swallowed the words down–too humiliated to speak.Â
As soon as the door clicked shut, she crumpled to the floor, hugging her knees as silent sobs wracked her body.Â
She should have accepted it long ago–Kael had no feelings for her.Â
When she’d asked him to write her love letters or sing to her, he’d been so perfunctory–his words were just empty flirts, never sincere.Â
But the letters he’d written to Nova? Every word had been filled with deep, genuine love. He’d even composed a one–of–a–kind song for her.Â
Things that were out of Sloane’s reach were things Nova could get without even trying. That was the difference between being a “toy” and being a “treasure.”Â
Sloane let out a bitter laugh, her hand resting on her lower abdomen.Â
Kael hadn’t used protection tonight–maybe she could get pregnant. Before that happened, she’d make sure her baby had a secure future.Â
With that thought, she got up and walked into the study.Â
She opened a folder on her computer–and inside were dozens of photos and videos she’d taken at the stadium that day.Â
Her eyes darkened.Â
She hadn’t wanted to do this, but reality had left her no choice.Â
…Â
Meanwhile, Nova stared blankly at her computer screen.Â
Images of Kael’s deep voice as he read love letters, of him singing just for her–they played on a loop in her mind, impossible to shake.Â
A bitter smile tugged at her lips.Â
She’d never doubted Kael’s love for her back then. She just mourned how quickly that true love had faded.Â
Nova let out a heavy sigh, trying to push away the painful thoughts. She picked up her phone and opened Instagram to distract herself–but the first video that popped up was of Sloane.Â
Her eyes widened when she saw the GIF: two hands clasped together.Â
She recognized Kael’s hand instantly–and her heart ached when she noticed his ring finger was empty.Â
He’d taken off the ring to meet Sloane.Â
Pain twisted in her chest. Memories flooded back: the day she’d slipped that plain silver ring onto his finger, how he’d teared up with guilt and hugged her, swearing he’d never let her down, that he’d never take the ring off.Â
He’d promised.Â
Nova bit her lip hard.Â
Then the GIF flipped to the next one–still their clasped hands, but now with a cat and a dog in the frame. The caption read: [Me, my boyfriend, Luna, Sol–our little family of four.JÂ
“Our little family of four.” Those words felt like shards of glass piercing her eyes.Â
Once, she’d dreamed of raising a cat and a dog with Kael, living a simple, happy life. But Kael had hated pets, so she’d never mentioned it again–telling herself that as long as she had him, it was enough.Â

Now, the man who’d hated pets was living her dream with someone else.Â
How ironic!Â
Tears stung Nova’s eyes. She quickly closed the app–but then a message from Sloane popped up: [Kael didn’t use protection tonight. He wants a baby. Soon, we’ll be a family of five!]Â
Bang!Â
Nova’s head spun. Her stomach churned violently, and she felt sick to her core.Â
The word “baby” was her greatest pain–and Kael knew that.Â
He’d once told her he only needed her, that nothing else mattered.Â
It had all been a lie. A cruel, heartless lie.Â
She choked on a sob. This must be what it felt like to have her heart torn apart.Â
After what felt like an eternity, Nova stumbled to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and numbly washed the tears from her face.Â
She looked up at her reflection–pale, haggard, unrecognizable.Â
“I look so pathetic.” She let out a bitter laugh.Â
She’d been blind to the truth, had thrown herself into this marriage without hesitation.Â
She’d stood by his side through his struggling startup, endured hardships with him–and now that their lives were finally good, she’d lost everything.Â
She’d been stripped of her position at the company, and now she’d lost herself, too.Â
It was tragic.Â
Nova forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, then stumbled out of the bathroom.Â
This time, she didn’t hesitate–she deleted every photo and video of her and Kael from her computer, then canceled the email account where she’d stored their memories.Â
Only then did the tightness in her chest ease a little.Â
She walked out of the bedroom, determined to find the old sketchbooks and books she’d kept in the storage room–she wanted to burn them all, leave nothing behind.Â
Every reminder of him made her feel sick.Â
But as soon as she stepped into the hallway, she saw the dinner Kael had left outside her door–and next to it, a small, elegant box containing a beautiful pink fiamond ring.Â
lova’s eyes instantly filled with tears. She grabbed the tray and the box and threw them all into the trash.Â
These things were just like Kael–disgusting.Â
After throwing them away, she walked to the calendar and marked a date with a sharp X.Â
till fourteen days left.Â
Cael returned home around 3 a..Â
He’d carefully cleaned the pink diamond necklace and even drafted a contract–he was sure Nova would love it when she saw it.Â
As he walked upstairs, he paused outside the master bedroom. The dinner and ring were gone–he assumed Nova had taken them inside. A smile tugged at hisÂ

lips.Â
He’d known she was just being stubborn; she couldn’t have really hated his efforts.Â
Afraid of disturbing her sleep, he resisted the urge to go in and instead headed to the guest room.Â
On the other side of the door, Nova sat alone on the bed, her eyes red and swollen, a mess of tears and exhaustion.Â
If Kael had just opened the door, he would have seen her–but he walked away.Â
Nova let out a bitter laugh.Â
In the guest room, Kael took a shower, finally feeling clean.Â
He’d hated the way he’d smelled of Sloane’s apartment–afraid Nova would notice.Â
When he checked his phone, he saw several missed calls from Sam. He frowned, but decided it was too late to call back–he’d ask about it tomorrow.Â
He climbed into bed and fell asleep, unaware of the storm waiting for him.Â
