Gilded captive heart
Chapter 2

Amidst the backdrop of an ornery day, when the universe seemed determined to test her patience, Nova Rivers stood her ground. The astrophysicist's lab hummed with the energy of calculations and whirring equipment, but frustration radiated from Nova herself. Her latest experiment, a daring attempt to pierce the mysteries of the cosmos, had hit an infuriating roadblock. Yet, with every setback, her determination only grew stronger.

Nova was not one to back down from a challenge, especially when it came to the universe's secrets. Her life was a symphony of late nights, where equations and data danced before her eyes. She was no stranger to blazing her own trail, pushing boundaries, and challenging conventions, and her fiery spirit had led her to discover breathtaking revelations that sparked awe in even the most seasoned of astronomers.

In a world where people preferred the comfort of familiarity, Nova chose the company of stars. Relationships, particularly the ordinary ones, had little appeal when compared to the tantalizing mysteries of the universe. Every night was a fervent journey, her mind venturing into realms unknown, her imagination painting the canvas of space with colors unseen.

Yet, even amidst the intensity of her solitary pursuits, Nova couldn't escape the human moments of frustration and fatigue that colored her journey. It was on one such day, when her determination was tinged with irritation, that her life was irrevocably altered. The arrival of three alien brothers shattered the monotony of her universe, whisking her away from equations and thrusting her into a whirlwind of interstellar love and uncharted galaxies, a journey more exhilarating and unpredictable than even her most daring experiments.
