Zephyr picked up his call and his eyes widened. “I will be right there, just, make sure to keep her safe”. He uttered rigidly with a hint of worry.

“Ethan, take me to the car”. He ordered. It seems Nova was in some kind of distress, the men he placed to watch over her had just called.

He needed to reach her first before Eryx did. He will prove to her that he cares about her and their son.

Ethan nodded as he wheeled him to his car. Since his butler wasn't here, yet he was going to drive him to Nova.

*****

Somewhere in New York, in starlight dominion entertainment industry Nova was being attacked by the press. And there with her was Jane who wanted to carry matters into her hands.

“Mrs. Nova, so you did have a failed marriage”. One of the reporters questioned with a serious gaze.

“No comment”. Nova said wearing her sunshades and wanted to walk off until Jane decided to add fuel to the already dying fire.

“Don't you think your response is dangerous to your career? You should clear out th

    Nova immediately entered her car and drove home, she was unaware that Zephyr was just behind her. When she got to her apartment she suddenly heard a familiar voice call her name.“Nova!” Zephyr, who was now in his automatic wheelchair, wheeled himself towards Nova.“What… Are you doing here?”. She stuttered. Her anger didn't go unnoticed by Zephyr, and that made him so sad. He was once the only person who existed to her, but now it seemed like he never meant anything to her.It was all his fault, and he concluded that he deserved whatever treatment he was getting from her.“I asked you a question, Zeph”. She didn't realize she had just called him by his shortened name. Zephyr felt his heart boil with joy, and he started to smile.“Why are you smiling?” Her hands clenched into fists at her sides, nails biting into her palms. How dare he smile at her like that when he made her miserable.“No…it's just that you called me zeph and it made me happy”. I just feel that we can work things ou

    “Oh! It's not something serious. Just a party to celebrate our current movie. Our sponsors will be there, and I was asked to specially invite you”. A lopsided grin tugged at the corner of his mouth. While One hand casually tucked into his pocket, the other gestured loosely in the air as if the invitation weren’t a big deal. “Wait. Are you talking about the luxurious party that is being held by one of the most famous producers in New York?” She wonders why he was talking so casually about it.Jane rolled her eyes as Nova spoke. Always acting like the world revolved around her. Jane thought with a scrunched expression.“Yes Nova. You got it right”. He smiled.“But why didn't you inform me earlier? I haven't even prepared anything. I have nothing to wear and”….“No worries, we have everything under control. Right Jane?”. He diverted towards an unbothered Jane.“Uhh. Yes”. She simply said not knowing what she was about to hear next will blow her mind.“You might be wondering why I am hel

After all, if two people keep close touch with each other there is a ninety percent chance of them falling in love.But the question was. Was she in love with Eryx? “Nova”. Eryx called out her name. She seems to be lost in thought. Leaving him in a turmoil of disaster. What if she said no. This was supposed to be his master plan.A plan that would place his brother in his place.

An ability that is only capable of maniacs.Jane was in intense pain, she couldn't tell Alex that the person who put her in this condition is the same person who is pretending to care.“What happened?” Alex's irritated expression had disappeared ,it was replaced with a worried one. He followed Eryx to investigate his actions but he met this instead.“But why do you have blood on your hands and shirt?” He asked with one eyebrow raised.“I was trying really hard to help her myself but I couldn't. I was on my way to find additional help”.His eyes locked onto his with calculated intensity, as if daring alex to doubt him.“Okay, let's get help immediately. She is bleeding”. He said as he walked forward and immediately swapped Jane into his arms leaving Eryx who later followed suit.The only thing on Jane's mind was how Eryx could do this to her and her child.

But mind you, he still did have little secret moments with Zephyr in school. Making Nova unaware.Nova walked towards the door without knowing who it was. Until her brain clicked, it was probably Eryx, and he might want to apologize for his misconduct at last night's event.She had never seen him like that, and she wouldn't even lie, she was extremely shocked.As she opened the door, she started to speak even before she saw the person at the door. “Eryx, you have the key to my.”…….

    “You think you can threaten me to give into your preposition”. Nova said without any form of fear.“You know what? I am calling Eryx right now. He needs to explain all of these accusations”. She picked up her phone and dialed Eryx number.Kevin just smiled. Women were nothing. They are never to be trusted. Because, Why did the woman whom he spent his entire life wanting die just like that, and when he finally found her replacement, she left because he somehow still obsesses over the dead one.“I guess he didn't pick. He interjected with a grin. By now eryx would have found out about his predicament. If you were in his shoes would you be available?” He questioned with a mild tone.“What have you done”! Her eyes were already brewing tears. She didn't understand why Zephyr would do this to her after all the suffering he made her undergo in the past.“Do not fret Nova, all this would go away if you just agree to sign this paper instead”. He brought in another paper.Nova grabbed the paper

    Was he dead? The thought ran through her mind several times. No he couldn't be but if he wasn't how could he have the audacity to keep her here. These had been the thoughts in her mind for so many days until one day when he decided it was time for him to come back. The door to the house opened suddenly, but not abruptly revealing Kevin who walked through it. She didn't know when she ran to him but she did and she hugged him tightly. Where did he go, she missed him so much, words cannot explain.Don't leave me here all alone kev. She squeezed him tightly, as if afraid he'd disappear again if she let go too soon. Her face buried in his shoulder, a shaky breath trembled from her chest, half-laugh, half-sob. For a moment, the world fell away with no noise, no past, no future. Just two people, finally finding each other. Kevin on the other hand was stiff but he soon relaxed. He moved back and suddenly kissed her, making her gasp in shock. He didn't mean to leave her alone but he had to h

    Love can be crazy, it could make good people turn into villains, villains into someone better. It causes changes that someone never thought of.But in Kevin's case love had hurt him so much. He didn't say a word to Willow who was panicking, more like he was immune to her cries and whatever he was saying.But all of these emotions couldn't be bottled up as he brought out a stick of ciggerate and puffed some smoke, the nicotine in it calmed his blood stream and somehow relieves his stress.He took a long drag from the cigarette, the end glowing bright Even in broad daylight. His hands trembled not from the nicotine, but from everything building inside him like a storm too big to hold.You started smoking again?. Willow asked with a scoff in her smeared face. You know it's not good for your mental health. She said to him genuinely.Amanda’s voice cut through the silence, sharp and incredulous. “You really think chain-smoking is going to fix what’s going on in your head?”WHAT MENTAL HEAL

    It started after we had a fight, Kev. Alex was the person here for me and we fell In love. She said to him when deep down she knew it was a lie.She blinked more than usual, like she could blink away the sting behind her eyes, and every now and then, she’d look down at her hands, fidgeting.Why lie to him, Alex interrupted behind her. Kevin was his friend, yes. But that wasn't going to stop him from getting what he wanted, what he wanted wasn't Willow,but was the benefit that came with it The merger with one of the most popular tech companies in the world as well as multiple sponsorship and partnership that would help his company seer high and help build his name around the globe.Alex was a kind of person that only cared about wealth and luxuries, women were not part.

    “Don't you know how to do your damn work. Eryx yelled over the phone. You know how much this deal means to me and don”. He said, referring to an underground boss.“I….I am so sorry sir. I am going to fix this”. A timid voice behind the phone panicked.“You fucking do that. Or else your wretched mother won't make it to another day”. He threatened without mercy nor without a flinch in his face.As soon as he finished talking, he slammed the phone to the floor. “FUCK, FUCK”. he yelled out. This wasn't the plan. Why was the business having problems in his tenure? The only thing he did was gamble a little. How did it end up affecting him? He thought In silence.But maybe he should have asked himself what he gambled or his condition of gambling. He gambled into partnership with the Mafia.He remembered vividly how it all played out. At first he was boasting about how good he was at these games and how no one could beat him. Even the don. “If I lose I will give up the Lockwood, holdings and

    As Nova walked. She felt her legs in the air. It was as if she was not flying. Her little gasp could be heard by almost everybody that walked past her.“This isn't meant to be happening to me. I shouldn't have gotten my memory back now”. She said to herself as she finally stopped by the road side trying to catch her breath. Her brain replayed the memories of what had just happened.Somehow Nova found herself back where she came out from. Eryx mansion. A place she could never call home. Just as she was about to enter she heard hush voices and immediately she knew it belonged to Eryx as well as Jane.“Why would you do that? Do you want to jeopardize my fucking plans bitch”. She could feel the greed that followed his vulgar words.“I didn't do it on purpose Eryx, please try to understand that”….. she tried speaking up but he interrupted.“Shut that fucking mouth of yours”, Nova imagined his veins popping from the side of his neck. An expression she was quite used to.“I know you Jane. I
