“No I haven't”. Eryx replied back as he breathed hard.“Then why do you seem distracted these days? The voice echoed, and he could just tell that she had a creased forehead. You know I need you, this has to work. I can't survive any other way”.“If you flop these you won't find it funny”. The voice warned sternly.Eryx sipped the air hard. Those words were definitely getting to him.“I understand okay, you don't have to remind me. I know exactly what I am doing and when I need you. I am going to call you”.“Better. She clicked her tongue. And you better send me the money to take care of her”. She told him, referring to someone they both knew about.“And for myself too”. Her harsh voice was now less tense.“Stop being a pussy and get to work. Your wish is to attain power against your brother right?”.“If you want that, as well as Nova, you know exactly when to call me. We have the Trump card and that would make him crippled”. When she says crippled she meant mentally, emotionally, fina

Eryx knew this wasn't the solution to his problems, but this was what he needed. A mind-blowing sex with someone he wasn't attached to, so he could get his mind off Nova and zephyr.His eyes scanned Jane like a predator surveying its prey. His gaze lingered, dark and heavy, locking onto her with a spark that burned, not with warmth, but with hunger. His pupils were dilated, a telltale sign of his singular focus, and the faint curl of his lips hinted at a confidence that bordered on arrogance.He leaned towards her his body angled toward her in a way that was deliberate, almost calculated. His shoulders rolled back, showcasing his broad frame, while his fingers toyed with the rim of his glass, a slow, rhythmic motion that seemed designed to draw attention. Every movement he made was intentional, his steps measured.He placed his hands on her waist. His hands covered her waist completely because they were slim enough for his hands to go round it. Jane took in a gasp of air. She hated th

In Zephyr's mansion sat Mrs. Lockwood. As soon as she heard that Zephyr had remarried Nova, she ran to the airport for the next flight to New York.As soon as she got to his home, she started ranting to the butler.“You know, Williams, I never knew exactly what he saw in this girl. At first, I thought he was over her when Tiana came into his life. She paused as if regretting that she mentioned that name. But Tiana turned out to be something else”. She said it out loud as if it weren't her fault Zephyr ended up with her.Williams just stood there as he panicked. He didn't know which side to pick. If he defended young madam nova, Mrs. Lockwood would probably cut his head off. If he then decided to support Mrs. Lockwood, then he would be a bad person.“She was a stripper, Williams. A stripper”. She continued, and she said the words loudly and then silently in a dramatic manner. Nova was just like four feet away from where she was seated, and she could hear everything.“And now she is an

Zephyr was oddly calm as he stepped into the mansion. His appearance exuded command and power. You will just know that he is capable of handling his problems.“I don't know what has gotten into you Zephyr, but this girl can't be your wife”. His mother started speaking as soon as she saw him, and before he could even say anything else.“We are already married, mum”. He replied without looking at his mother. His gaze was on nova, he wanted to know if she was fine.“Are you okay?” he finally asked.“What do you think?” She used her hands to rub her arms as if she were in some kind of discomfort.“How could you do this, zephyr? You get married to her without informing me. Do you know what the media is saying? This is affecting the company and our status in the society”. She breathed in and continued.“It's okay for your brother to misbehave, but it's not okay for you to”….“IT'S NOT OKAY FOR ME TO WHAT, MOM?” He raked a hand through his hair, pulling slightly.“Fuck society and fuck what t

“Do you need help, princess? I already completed my shift, I could give you a helping hand”. The bartender James was oddly too close to Nova who wasn't herself at that moment.“Get off me”. She pushed him away as she walked to a less busy area in the club. James' lips curved upwards and he followed her. “You know no one is going to help you here. Everyone is wasted”. He chuckled as if he had said something funny.Even though Nova was drunk she didn't like the aura the guy gave off. His funny jeans and the scar he had on his neck told an unknown tale.“I promise I am a good guy. You are in more danger if you continue to stay there all but yourself. I must tell you”. He sounded really convincing and when Nova felt her vision start to blur she knew she had no choice.“I can help myself, but I will let you just because I don't really know my way around here”. Take me to the exit so I can board a taxi home”.“Okay”. She heard him say.“I …ha.. Have a high alcohol threshold. How am I drunk

“You fucking bastard”. Zephyr yelled in devastation as well as anger. At first, he thought he was dreaming, maybe his eyes were playing jokes on him, and it wasn't really the guy trying to force his way with his wife.He landed him a punch and kept punching him until someone jerked him off.“You are going to kill him if you continue like that”. Alex held him tightly to prevent him from causing further damage.Do you know who else was dreaming? That's right, it was James. He had no idea why his boss and his friend who was his business partner was beating the hell out of him at the time of his pleasure. He opened his eyes widely to ensure he wasn't dreaming.I mean, it's not Every Time you get to see the great zephyr Lockwood. He doesn't even see the owner of the club. That is, he doesn't see Alex on a daily basis so was he dreaming?Or did they find out about his vicious activities? He questioned himself silently.“Sir… What could I have done to deserve this? I am just spending some al

In a world where Zephyr was going through his own trials, Eryx was plotting against him and Nova just wanted to be left alone with her son, and maybe she wanted Eryx too.Kevin was in his own misery, he might be feared by everyone but that didn't make him feel better. It didn't change the fact that Willow left him on their honeymoon. Which was obviously his fault.He trailed his hands on the painting and took a deep breath of the fragrance it left. It was her exhibition, and he wasn't supposed to be here.She had made it clear that she didn't want to have anything to do with him so why was he here? “Fuck you are stupid Kevin”. He cursed under his breath and took a step forward to take his leave, but he suddenly stopped.“Oh my God, that's her”. Little cheers that were not chaotic filled the atmosphere. They all wanted to take a look at the beautiful woman behind the wonderful art, and indeed she was breathtaking.As she took a group of people on a tour of each masterpiece. Kevin could

He ran after her and with every step she took, he felt she was slipping away from him. He couldn't live like this anymore so he was compelled to speak.“Wait, please. His voice came out as a cry. Do you think I treated you the way I did because I wanted to?” There was a mix of bitterness and emptiness in his voice. Something that made her want to stay and hear his reasons because this time it felt like he was ready.“I…I am sick Willow, he took up to a minute to successfully say those words. Kevin took in a deep breath before sitting on the passage floor while Willow came closer to hear him out. I was born a sick child. I was always alone and spent most of my time in the hospital away from my family. I mean who would want to be with someone with mental issues”. He chuckled in pity. Willow’s eyes widened and she felt her legs wobble. “Mental issues?” She whispered unbelievably. Was he struggling with his mental health? She asked herself.“My own mother will flog me to my senses whenev

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. All these he could get but only on one condition. To agree to marry the daughter of the willow family. He didn't even know to whom he was getting married at first.Until he met her, and she was willing as well. And she

Kevin had no idea how he got to the church within seconds of getting that information. His heart was beating fast, he couldn't hear or understand anything around him.All he saw was rage and jealousy. How could his woman come back and the first thing he hears about him is that she was getting married to a random dude.He immediately walked out of his car and moved briskly into the church not minding anyone or anything at all.But what he saw, or rather the person he saw next to Willow made his blood crawl. It was Alex, who was à friend to both him and zephyr. How is it possible that he could do this?Does anyone object to the union of these two beautiful couples?Kevin wondered if there was another meaning to the words “couple”. Or was this some form of welcoming or was it a prank. It must be right.So he thought but he hadn't realized yet that there was so much more to be uncovered.I object.

Zephyr was literally sitting on the floor with a heavy heart and confused mind. This was just so sudden to him. The light at the top of the intensive care unit had gone off indicating that whatever intensive care was given to Nova was over.The door opened and Nova was wheeled in a stretcher by the nurses. Zephyr stood up almost as if he had been chased by a dog.“How is she?” he said as he rushed to Nova who looked so pale, her lips were lighter and her eyelids would flicker from time to time, however her beauty did not falter, she was still the most beautiful woman he had set his eyes on.“She is now stable”. You can stay by her side sir. The doctor said with politeness in his voice and character.After about thirty minutes and after Nova Nova had been moved from the intensive care unit to her personal ward she finally woke up and the first person she saw was zephyr.“Zephyr”, she whispered his name with a weak voice.

“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
