CHAPTER THREE: Deep fake generated

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 house.

“You know, Tiana said with her lips curling into a playful smile, you don't have to be all moody when you have me here. You can vent on me all you want. I wouldn't even mind”. She leaned in closer, her voice dropping to a soft, almost whispering tone. 

Tiana was a beautiful lady. She had big and succulent boobs, a gracious ass, pale fair skin, and long hair. Every man would die to be with her. But why couldn't he just love her like he did with Nova?

He looked at her face. Trying to take in her features as he raised his hands to sweep over her face. “I don't want to hurt you”. He said curtly and tried to walk away, but Tiana held him back. She couldn't let him go until she had achieved her goal.

“Use me zephyr, fuck me until you forget her name. I know you love her, but I am the one who is here. I will be the mother of your children”. She echoed quickly, almost running out of breath.

“The more reason why I don't want to vent on you”. She wasn't some slut like Nova, she was pure. So he thought.

“No… Tiana interrupted before she slowly, in a seductive manner, started to unbutton her shirt until she was left with her bare chest right in front of him. I insist you fuck me, zephyr”. You might wonder why she seemed so desperate that was because she had a malicious goal to achieve. Something…… 

“Fuck it”. He said, throwing all his control away before grabbing her aggressively but carefully, making sure not to hurt the child.

He kissed her on her chest as he carried her with little effort then he took her to the couch and started to strip off the rest of her clothes. Deep down he felt what he was doing wasn't good but what did it matter, it was already over with Nova right? Moreover, this wasn't the first time he was having sex with Tiana, so why was he feeling guilty now?

He was getting distracted by his thoughts when Tiana brought him out.

“Zephyr… I . Want you to do whatever you please with me. I will be here for you”. She urged him to kiss her, and soon he was ready for her, evidenced by his erection.

He removed his pants and exposed Tiana before driving deep into her…..

*******

The next morning, Zephyr woke up feeling wretched as ever. His thoughts were distorted for some time before getting himself back. Tiana wasn't by his side, she had probably gone to have her bath, he concluded.

“Tiana”! He called her, but there was no response. He decided to walk up the stairs to their room, but crazy enough she wasn't there, and she wasn't in the bathroom either.

“Tiana”. He called louder as he walked back down the stairs to the living room. He kept looking around until a piece of paper on the table caught his attention.

“Since when has this been here”. He said to himself as he approached the table and started to read the content. As his eyes moved across the page, his expression remained neutral and calm. But that changed quickly. His brow furrowed slightly, then deeply, as if the words weren’t making sense. He squinted, scanning the lines again, his heart pounding faster with each sentence.

His hands began to tremble like a patient with Parkinson's disease.

“I know this may come as a shock to you, Zephyr. But you deserve it anyway.

You have no idea how long I have waited for this day. The day you lose someone you love due to your stupidity. Did you think you could enjoy life after making me and my family your slaves? Not on my watch.

I was never pregnant for you. I only said so to distract you, so that Eryx can successfully travel out of the country with your beloved Nova. And the most exciting news Eryx sent me to relay is that Nova never cheated on you. The video was a deep fake-generated technology. I couldn't believe you fell for such cheap evidence.

Eryx said not to bother looking for them because Nova belongs to him now. He will give her the love and trust you couldn't give her.

“Don't fret, I will come back”. And thanks for that gracious d**k”.

Yours truly Tiana.

The lights in the room started to dim around him. His hands tremble as the weight of realisation crashes over him like a suffocating wave. His chest tightens, and his breath becomes shallow and erratic, as the truth he had blinded himself to unfolds.

“Fuck no!!! He yelled with so much strength. It's….not…not true”. He shakes his head in total disbelief as he holds the paper with so much grip.

“No… She cheated on me. I can't be wrong, I saw it. I”….. He couldn't complete his words as it dawned on him that he was already fucked.

“She didn't. She…..never. Oh, God!! What have I done?”

His thoughts raced, unable to settle, as everything started to make sense. How Nova always looked oblivious whenever he accused her of cheating. He had thought she was pretending to gain his sympathy. The look Eryx would always give him whenever they crossed paths. It was always as if he were mocking him for his stupidity.

Zephyr's knees buckled as he sank to the floor, the silence of the empty house deafening. His breath came in sharp, shallow gasps as if his chest couldn’t contain the weight pressing down on him. She was gone, the only woman he ever loved and still loves.

He couldn't believe he let her down by letting his brother get in between them. He even went as far as sleeping with Tiana just to spite Nova. “Fuck!”.

Nothing kills him more than the pain and helplessness he saw in her eyes. “I will protect you forever, Nova, you can rely on me”. The voice of his own failed promise attacked his ears.

“Noooooooo. He hits the floor like a madman who has completely lost his mind. Please forgive me, Nova, please…please”. He pleaded like she was right in front of him. 

This was getting too much for Zephyr, he couldn't take this information. The weight of his guilt, his regret, it all pressed down on him, pulling him into a trap. “I must find her", he said as he stood up with his last energy to run towards the door. “I will find you, Nova, please forgive me”. He kept saying those words.

“Young master zephyr. Young master!!”. He hears the distant voice of his middle-aged butler who is surprised to see his master running off like some maniac.

As Zephyr kept running, his legs abruptly became numb and his body collapsed completely and fell violently to the ground. His butler ran immediately to Zephyr with a creased forehead. “Young master, are you okay”? He questioned.

But what the butler heard from his young master made his face pale immediately.

“I can't feel my legs, Williams”. Zephyr said with so much difficulty and pain in his voice.
