I always wished all the best for my childhood friend Oliver. We know each other since we were in kindergarten. I and he were unstoppable. We were there for each other when others broke our hearts not just once but many times.
We never messed up till that summer at L.A.
I doubted the paternity of Nova till she come out to life and I did a secret DNA test. I didn't want to tell him because was all over me, with the idea of me, his bff having a babe; later when he hold it on his arms become a dad.
If didn't happen Nova I would have call brother but will be weird now.
I found my kind of love in his friend Nolan.

Oliver is the most romantic guy in the world but for me, his nature didn't work at all. We couldn't pass more than that moment that happened in Vegas. Even kissing was strange so we start our divorce that ended most beautifully way.

We share our friendship and our Nova that is a special little human.

I know he was in love that morning when I let Nova to them. His eyes had that particular sparkle that only love people have. Nolan has it. Oliver says that I have too whenever I start to talk about Nolan.

Nolan is my male version and my soulmate. He is there beside me, never judging only caring for me and Nova.
***

Watching Emma on the ground practically lifeless made Oliver lose himself. We hurried to come to the hospital with a special chopter. Nova was only crying in my chest.
"We are late! My angel will go forever!" repeated like a sad mantra.

I start to worry for Emma and my family members as they are too attached to her.

Nova didn't stop talking about her Angel at church all day and night. I was curiously to meet her. She had met her for only 1 minute and talked with superlatives.
When I find out at the hospital who was her Angel there I understood everything.

***
Emma Raven is a self-made woman. First to be Vice CEO without inheriting the company or being in a relationship with the owner. You only can admire her.
I had just started to work at the company when she was Vice CEO. She was like a myth around New York business clubs. I had worked for many other male employers some were respectful and some not so much.

She chose me as a personal assistant. At first, I didn't like it cause I wanted to be an executive assistant to have the opportunity to rise.
"I know you don'tlike to be my assistant miss Bone but I am offering you a life chance to have all your dreams full field one day. Only if you work like this!" Emma stated looking charming before me.

If I played in the other way I would have fall in love with her and move heaven and earth to be with her.

If I couldn't have it, is someone who may have this gorgeous woman and he is nonetheless than my best friend Oliver.

I tried many times last year before she become CEO but nothing seems to work. Till I send them to The Famous with the hope they will find each other.

They are perfect for each other. Oliver always needed a woman like her and more perfect than he couldn't be for Emma. Is it another one but Oliver is still on top.

Being CEO put me to be Executive Assistant and her personal assistant still. The second I did it partially cause she takes care of herself with details and even takes her own calls.

***

Oliver gathered himself with an army of doctors of any kind that I can't pronoun their names.

Went to save Emma's life.

After hours. The operation was a success. Nova was still sleeping but smiling in her dream. When she wake up told us that was talking with Emma.
I got my usual goosebumps whenever my daughter pop something like this.

We wait hours become days. He told me about the promises he made to Emma for about 100 days. Only three days had passed. She was in ICU.
Nova at seven days insist to meet her till then we only saw her from the glass. Nolan sneaks us inside. My heart was teary watching her like that. I want my fearless, bold attitude boss. My Nova wants her angel back and not to talk about him Oliver that is dying inside for her.

Nova crawls on her bed and leaves an angel kiss on her and comes to me. When we are about to turn we meet angry Oliver.

"Dad kiss your princess's lips and she will come back to you." she said and drag me out. Nolan comes after us head down.

Nova insists to see her dad kissing her angel. Oliver remove her oxygen mask and kissed lightly her lips. Let some tears over it. He moved away when she come to her senses. I told him to look at her when he did it. Immediately helped her as she was chocking on the first breath she took.

"What is wrong Oliver?" I asked him after she was transferred to a private room.
"She had lost her memory. She doesn't remember anything past this 100 days. Her mind think we are at september ending!"
"Man I thought she can't walk or something do with paralyze!" I burst into laugh.
"T this is serious she sees me like stranger!"
Ohh poor baby.

"Oli you are lucky she is alive,Can talk move and walk. What do you want more man?! Win her heart all over again." I was shocked to his stupid reaction 'why she doesn't remember'.

Later those days when she remembered only me. Nova understand why she didn't recognize and just enjoyed her angel accompany.

***
Naveen Sharma is a handsome man nearly his 40, a businessman from Mumbai in love with Emma since the first time they meet 2 years ago when she was Vice CEO.

I did everything so she could end up with Naveen that time, but my boss is a stone head. 'No love' was her motto of life.

When she decided this stupid plan to let go everything is there when Naveen got the News. Worried he had called me and the office till coming to the hospital.

Emma was changing her attitude toward him being more femme.
This triggered Oliver's jealousy that give me the look as spoke: "You see why I was afraid before!"

"A little competition din't harm no one." I retorted.
" A little! He is a taycoon. Handsome as hell!l. And now she is all over his stupid jokes. I can't compete with him! I am only a surgeon with a simply flat." He complained
"You have someone that Naveen can't never have it."
" Whom'?"
"Nova."
"I am not gonna use Nova to catch a woman, not to mention Emma."
"Nova offer herself free cause she doesn't want to see her Angel from skype as she gonna go to live with him." I teased him a bit more.
But he will never use Nova for something like this. He can't tell her anything about what they had cause doesn't want that Emma creates memories in place to remember.

Oliver and his honest mind!
