“No Eryx. You deceived me for years. You made me believe Zephyr hated me, you made me destroy him”. A tremor flickered at the corners of her mouth, pulling it downward, and her jaw tightened.

“You know how much I loved zephyr. He saved me from my misery, loved and married me without even caring about my background. Do you know how I ..I felt when I thought he abandoned me because of Tiana”. She stuttered and tears gathered around the corners of her fragile eyes.

“I don't regret what I did and I will do.it again if I have to”.

“And you can't blame me, Nova”. He laughed bitterly, shaking his head. "When we were kids, it was little things like my toys, my books,my father's love,my spot at the dinner table. I’d find my favorite things broken or gone, and he’d just smirk like it was some game." His voice cracked, and he took a steadying breath.

“I didn't really care if my mother paid no attention to me. But tell me why I would love that man so much but yet he hated me”. He added.

    Eryx was startled for a second. He didn't understand how Zephyr was suddenly here.Zephyr immediately came and took Nova from Eryx.” Nova, Nova are you fine”. He shook her several times but there was only a weak response. She didn't look good and it didn't look like something regular was wrong with her.“What did you do to her Eryx”. He turned to his brother, devastation filled in his eyes.“How..how are you here?” Eryx ignored the most important question at that time.“I followed her here because I was the one who told her to come here”.Eryx scoffed at his brother, then a loud laughter followed suit. “So what were you trying to do? You were trying to spoil my reputation in front of her”. He asked with a sinister expression.Zephyr looked at Nova one more time and she was still breathing. He knew she had to be taken to the hospital. So he took her closer to his arms and raised her up.“Well guess what, your mission was successful”. He blocked Zephyr's way, preventing him from rushing

    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. Zephyr who was already lost in thoughts immediately pulled out of

    “Mummy mummy”, little Xavier immediately ran towards his mother, he climbed her not minding the fact that she was sick. Afterall he was just a child.“No little man you can't sit on mummy like that okay”. He took the boy into his arms.“Daddy, what happened to mummy? Do you think she will be fine?” He asked with anxiousness filled in his voice.“Don't worry my boy, your mother is the strongest woman on earth”. He hated the fact that he had to lie to the little boy but how could he be brutal? How could he tell the boy that his mother had less than three months to live.Nova was so weak but she could feel the love of Zephyr for their son, he was a good man And he was going to take perfect care of their son when she was gone and that made her heart feel at peace.“Umm, I will just stay outside”.

    Chapter 39Eryx glared at his mother. “You can't make that demand!” Mrs Lockwood scoffed, “You can't steal from your brother." “Am I?" He challenged, “This is my right. The wealth, the power, it's mine too!" He was sick of being told what to do. He was sick of hearing that his brother was the rightful heir. He was sick of it all. "You will not defy me, boy! You will return the power you stole from Zephyr," she said, her voice filled with the usual command. But somehow, she was terrified that Eryx would refuse. Eryx smirked, leaning forward. "Return it? That power was never his to begin with. It was mine too. I was just never given the chance, but that all changes now." Mrs. Lockwood's face twisted into a scowl. "You don't have any power! Nothing was ever yours in this family!" she snapped, exasperated. "You are not even…" "Not even your child?" Eryx finished for her. "I know." He let the words settle, watching as her pupils dilated in shock. "I know everything, Mother. No, I

    The doors slammed open loudly. Eryx turned and his smirk vanished. The one person he'd never thought would show up was standing right in front of him. Zephyr. Lilian was shocked and she moved behind Eryx slightly. None of them had counted on Zephyr showing up so unexpectedly. Zephyr strode in, his eyes ignored everyone else and landed squarely on his brother. "What have you done?" Zephyr’s voice was cold, but beneath it, there was rage, barely contained. "How dare you arrest our mother?" But Eryx looked at him with a composed expression. He was too calm for the atrocity he'd just committed. “Speak to me, Eryx! How dare you humiliate our mother?!" Eryx scoffed, stepping forward. "Your mother," he corrected. "Not mine." Zephyr’s brows furrowed. "What nonsense are you spewing now?" Eryx let out a humorless chuckle. "She never told you? Oh, how typical. Always keeping her favorite son in the dark, trying to protect his fragile ego." Zephyr looked at him oddly. What was he

    The phone was still pressed against Zephyr’s ear, his pulse racing as he listened to the voice on the other end. "Mr. Lockwood, we have news regarding your wife's condition." Zephyr's heart leapt. A doctor had a solution for Nova? His grip on the phone tightened. "I'm listening." "There's a facility in South Korea that specializes in advanced neurosurgical treatments. A doctor there recently performed a successful operation on a case similar to your wife's. There's a strong possibility she can be treated." For a moment, Zephyr couldn't breathe. His mind has been filled with despair for so long that hope felt foreign, almost unreal. Could this be true? "You mean there’s a chance?" His voice was filled with emotions. "Yes, but time is critical. You need to bring her as soon as possible." Zephyr shot to his feet. "I’ll get her there. Whatever it takes." "We’ll send over the transfer documents immediately. Safe travels, Mr. Lockwood." The call ended. Zephyr stood frozen

    Meanwhile, away from the renewed hope that Zephyr and Nova felt, Kevin too had just made up with Willow. The room was dimly lit, filled with the warm glow of scented candles that flickered on the nightstand. It was the perfect romantic set up. Something Willow had always longed to do with Kevin. “Did I hurt you?" Kevin whispered into her ears. Willow smiled. How could he ever hurt her? He had just made her complete. He'd reminded her of just how much she missed his touch. His hold. His love. “No, Kevin. You didn't hurt me. You made love to me." Kevin chuckled and kissed her on the lips, his hands hovering just above her breasts. For a second, Willow could feel her body come to life all over again. Was he going to touch her again? She wondered. “You're insatiable," she smiled. “Only for you," Kevin replied and leaned down, pressing his face to her breasts and kissing her cleavage. When she nudged him off, he simply laid draped over her and they smiled and listened to each oth

His hands clutched at his head, fingers twisting into his hair as though he wanted to tear away the thoughts consuming him. His entire body trembled, knees buckling beneath him. “No… no, no, no…” His voice was hoarse, barely a whisper but filled with a terror that made Willow terrified. “Hey!" She called out, rushing to his side. He rocked back and forth, his fingers pressing against his ears as if trying to block out something only he could hear. Willow’s heart leapt. “Kevin—Kevin, what’s wrong?” She reached out, her hands gently grasping his shoulders, trying to remind him that she was there, trying to bring him back from whatever horror had overtaken him. But the moment her fingers touched him, he flinched violently, shoving her away with such force that she stumbled back. Her breath caught. She had never seen him like this before. Had never believed her just push

    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.

    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

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
