As soon as she yelled those words. Eryx couldn't describe the tingling sensation he felt in his heart.

Eryx stared at Nova, his eyebrows knitting together in a mix of confusion and shock. “You’re kidding, right?” he asked, his voice low, almost a whisper. When she didn’t immediately reply, his gaze flicked to her hands, searching for some tell a twitch, a crack in her composure, but she stood firm, her arms crossed defensively.

“Nova,” he said, his tone sharper now, "you’re seriously telling me you are in love with zephyr even after all he did to you” he breathed out a breath of disbelief.

This is the best thing she could do to protect Eryx. She knew she had to protect Eryx from his brother. Eryx wouldn't stop except she does this to keep him away.

“LOOK ME IN THE EYE NOVA”. He yelled with gritted teeth and the veins in his neck popped out, matching with the anger his eyes radiated.

“My woman has spoken. She doesn't have to tell you any other things”. Zephyr walked forward after he ha

    Nova kept quiet throughout the drive to Zephyr's home. It's Crazy enough that she just signed the papers, but one of his rules was that she would start living with him and their child.“Are you okay there buddy”. She heard his deep voice echo in the background. He was checking on Xavier.She couldn't help but think that her life was going nowhere. Because how did she even get here? She thought of everything that had happened to her, and she couldn't help but shed tears.Soon they got home. And they entered the mansion. “Wow”. Xavier was mesmerized by the building. He had never seen anything like this, and it made him excited. “It’s so big! And the lights they’re so shiny!” His small hands skimmed the smooth walls, his fingers brushing the velvet curtains and gleaming doorknobs as if he couldn’t believe they were real. “Is this really ours? Is this where we’re going to live?” he asked, his voice trembling with a mix of disbelief and joy. Each word seemed to bounce like a rubber ball,

    “Common zephyr, stop it, your wife Nova is waiting outside”. Tiana whispered coyly to Zephyr, who was lustfully sniffing and nuzzling her neck with desperate intensity.“Don't pay attention to her, let's have a quickie, okay”. He said in a commanding and raspy voice that seemed otherworldly. He moves his hands that laid on her exposed cleavage to his trousers, fumbling with the zipper.“I want to fuck you right now Tiana, against that door, so she can hear us”. He growled with silent anger, his breath quickening as he kissed her more aggressively.“Stop it Zephyr, at least let's hear what she has to say”. Tiana reprimanded, pushing his hands away and biting her lips seductively.“Shit, he whispered under his breath. What the hell does she want?” His eyes darkened as he hated the interruption. Hasn't she done enough? He thought within him. She betrayed him even after all the things he had done for her.He guessed the saying, once a stripper, always a stripper, was true. Don't ask him w

    Nova's eyes trembled slowly as her eyes opened, her vision fluctuating like a camera ready to take its shot. A familiar figure wearing a white coat appeared in front of her with a satisfactory smile. He was Blackwood's family doctor. Doctor Zach.“Great, Mrs. Blackwood, you're now conscious,” he said while scribbling something into the notepad he was holding. “You didn't suffer any injuries. The car barely hit you, but I guess you passed out from shock,” he said, his smile growing even bigger. “And… congratulations, ma’am, you're three months pregnant.”Nova's eyes widened. Did he say she was pregnant? She was still struggling with her thoughts, trying to decipher who brought her to the hospital.“I'd advise you not to get into any strenuous activities, as you might not be so lucky next time.”“What did you say, doctor?” she asked, placing her hands on her stomach, not believing she was harboring an innocent life inside her.“You are pregnant, ma’am. I know you're shocked, but I'm sur

    Meanwhile, back at the Blackwoods mansion. The family had just finished eating dinner. Zephyr, together with Tiana, were walking his mother and Lilian back to the car.“You know son, you made the best decision. Now you can focus on bringing up your new family and forget about that witch”. His mother snickered with fine wrinkles. She couldn't contain the joy she felt that Nova was gone.Zephyr took a deep breath. This wasn’t a simple betrayal, it was a knife to the heart, twisted with such precision that every nerve seemed to scream in agony.“Alright, mum”. He replied with gritted teeth. He could feel Tiana's hands on his shoulders, giving him some certainty.“Don't be sad, bro. Good people deserve good things, and Nova isn't good for you”. Lilian said without thinking. She just wanted to give him some words of affirmation, even though she didn't care.Zephyr nodded again politely as he watched them go to the car and soon they zoomed off. An angry Zephyr and Tiana were left in the hou

    Four years later.“And this year's Oscar award for the best actress of the year goes too”…. The host paused trying to decipher the desperation of the audience. The tension in the air was palpable, thick with anticipation as the announcer’s voice echoed through the grand hall. Every breath seemed to hang in suspense, eyes glued to the stage, waiting for that one name. Then, it happened.“Nova van vica !!!!!” He exclaimed with excitement and a wide smile. For a heartbeat, the room stood still, the name reverberating through the space like the crack of a whip. Then—chaos. The crowd erupted into an uncontrollable frenzy, a tidal wave of cheers, applause, and screams. People jumped from their seats, some even spilling their drinks as they threw their hands into the air.“WE LOVE……. You Nova”. The screams of different people from different corners echoed. Nova, a woman whose name told tales and who had gone through so much, didn't expect to even win this award. She looked to her side tow

    The world spiraled for a moment and Nova couldn't believe that the man in front of her was the same man who broke her to the nearest minimum.“Mummy I can't believe daddy finally came home”. Xavier said with all excitements. He has been so curious about his father that at some point he thought eryx was his father, but he never had that connection with him.“Xavier. Go to your room now”. Nova's voice came out a bit hostile.“Mummy”. He stomped his feet to the ground showing his reluctance.“Go!” Her voice came out louder and this made the little boy flinch before storming into the house with anger.Eryx, who was following Nova earlier as she ran towards the door, finally made it out to see who it was and that made him nervous. He knew his brother was going to finally find them. Obviously, Nova was now famous.“Nova, please”. Zephyr apologised with no expression on his face. He never shows emotions so she could never tell when he was sincere but not like she gave a fuck.“No! You do not

    “Of course, I know exactly when you need me. You are like an intricate open book”. Jane said while biting her lips.Eryx had helped Jane in different ways. He sponsored her through acting school and made her a top and best actress. It was quite unfortunate that he found interest in someone else who wasn't her.“Nova”! She thought within her with anger. How she hated that name.“Did she make you angry, Eryx? I have told you to let her be Eryx. She is not made for you. I, on the other hand, can make you happy. I will do whatever it takes to see that you are satisfied”. Her eyes blazed with desperation. Until she realised her neck was stiff.Eryx grip on her neck had tightened. “I have told you countless times without numbers not to mention her name whenever you are with me”. He said sternly with a dangerous gaze that sent shivers to her spine.He released his grip from her neck and she fell violently to the ground trying to catch her breath.Eryx did not even allow her to rest when he mo

    Eryx sneered at his brother with a hateful gaze that could burn the whole building down.“Come on brother. Are you scared?” He questioned playfully as sat on the chair that was in front of zephyr.“I think it's the other way round”. Zephyr counteracted with a straight gaze as he tried to fix the sleeves of his hand made shirt.“Let's cut the small talk, shall we?” Eryx's eyes narrowed, scanning him like he was some underling he was sizing up. “You’re probably wondering why I bothered to come all the way here.”Zephyr smiled inwardly. He knows exactly why he was here, but he wanted to hear him say it. He gestured with one of his fingers for him to continue.“I am here because of Nova. Stay away from her. Do not think because you finally found us you can get back into her life. Before you do that you will have to face my wrath”. He tilted his head slightly, a mockery of casualness, but the tension in his jaw betrayed the control it took to keep his temper in check.Zephyr slammed his ha

    Today was a dangerous day. The day that dictated whether Nova would be with her son or not. The only thing was that the decision had already been made.Nova was outside the courthouse. She buried her face in her hands, her breaths coming in short, shallow gasps that sounded like they might choke her. When she looked up, her expression was one of raw, unfiltered devastation: a mixture of disbelief, anger, and unbearable sorrow. Her lips parted slightly, whispering something inaudible, a plea to no one in particular. The world around her seemed to shrink, leaving her isolated in a void of despair, her son's absence already a gaping hole in her heart.She could remember the judge making his judgment.“Due to your connection to Eric as his girlfriend and the fact that he is an abuser. We would be giving full custody to Eric Lockwood. And he will be paying a fine of $20,000”.“Objection, your honour.” Her lawyer, whom she had begged for help, interjected. She had called her immediately aft

Her eyes are fixed on nothing in particular, a storm of thoughts swirling behind them. The coffee in front of her has long since gone cold, untouched, its delicate steam a thing of the past.She couldn't help but think of Eryx and how he cried in her arms after hearing the disastrous charges Zephyr made against him.“I swear, I am innocent, flower”. His voice resonated in his ears. She would always believe Eryx regardless of what because he was a good person. That was what she believed.Her heart believed that Eryx was a good person and every other person was against her.“Nova, Nova”.

    “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

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.”……. She stopped talking just as soon as she started.“How sweet”. The voice interjected.“Kev”… her eyebrows furrowed, and a sneer almost escaped out of her mouth.“What are you… Doing here?” She stuttered. Her brows knitted together, drawing a faint crease across her forehead as her eyes darted back and forth,

    You were right? He wanted to gain custody of his child. He knew it wouldn't be possible because Nova was a good mother. However, because she agreed to become Eryx's girlfriend then he had leverage.Eryx was a fucking demon. Someone who killed his own father. He just found out after he asked his assistant to run an investigation on things he has done.And he found out that his brother was responsible for the death of his father. He was going to make Eryx pay. But for now, he would tag him as abusive using one of his flings.And if Eryx tries to misbehave, he will make him choose between getting punished for violence or murder. But of course, he would still make him pay, but not now.After all what is the use of rushing into things? He likes to take things slow. His lips curved upwards.“Well done Kevin”, He said to the drop gorgeous lawyer. He was well known as a very ruthless lawyer when it came to defending his client.Rumors have it that his opponent usually declared guilty just from

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.

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.
