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
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”.
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
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,
“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
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. His voice came out louder and stronger than expected. He wanted to understand what was going
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 o

“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
