The billionaire's regret CHAPTER EIGHT: The scheme
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
Last Updated : 2024-11-27The billionaire's regret CHAPTER TEN: will you be my girlfriend
“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
Last Updated : 2024-11-28The billionaire's regret CHAPTER ELEVEN: pregnancy
Nova didn't expect Eryx to propose to her to become his girlfriend. Not that she didn't notice the way he would look at her and would always smile brightly, like he was lost in her green eyes.She was sure he had just grown a liking for her. 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. He knew she told him that she didn't want to get into a relationship. But he wanted to try his best. And with the crowd, he could manipulate her into accepting it.“Yes”… Nova replied with a low voice as she was still contemplating.“Oh my God Nova”. Eryx heard her loud and clear. “You have just made me the happiest man on earth”. He exclaimed with extreme euphoria.Nova s

“Thank God you are here?” Eryx immediately changed his countenance. 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. It's all your fucking fault Nova. If Eryx wasn't so obsessed with
Last Updated : 2024-12-03The billionaire's regret CHAPTER THIRTEEN: Kevin
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

“Give me one-second baby”. Nova whispered very gently to Xavier who smiled back at his mummy.He has been unhappy because his mother wouldn't let him spend time with his father when he wanted to so badly. 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 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

The billionaire's regret CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR: Assaulted
“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
The billionaire's regret CHAPTER TWENTY THREE: club disaster
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
The billionaire's regret CHAPTER TWENTY TWO: Old memories
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
The billionaire's regret CHAPTER TWENTY ONE:Mother-in-law
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
The billionaire's regret CHAPTER TWENTY:Lies and deceit
“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
The billionaire's regret CHAPTER NINETEEN: Triggered
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,
The billionaire's regret CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: Sign the marriage contract
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
The billionaire's regret CHAPTER SEVEENTEEN: come home our son needs you
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
The billionaire's regret CHAPTER SIXTEEN: audition
It's been two weeks since Kevin visited Nova about the custody case of her child, but Zephyr just wouldn't give up, he was determined to make her life a living hell.Nova was lost in thoughts, her chin resting lightly in her palm, her fingers absentmindedly brushing a loose strand of hair away from her face.The world outside her thoughts moves in a blur, pedestrians rushing by, but she doesn’t notice. 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”.
