The 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

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

Chapter 44Willow’s throat went dry. What was the crazy woman saying?.What did she mean by Kevin ruining her? “It's all in the past now. Kevin is fighting so hard to forgive himself. He is sorry for what he did.” "I don't care! I don't!’ Hazel . Willow shrunk back at her bark. She looked crazy. For a second, Willow wondered how Kevin had gotten tangled with her in the first place. "He defiled me. He took everything from me." Hazel’s face twisted in rage. “He destroyed me!” she screamed. “I can’t function as a woman! Do you understand what that means?” Kevin who had been looking at the entire scene with fear and flinched like he had been struck. His fingers dug into his hair, his whole body curling inward. Hazel wasn’t done. She scoffed at Kevin's reaction. Like she didn't care how much she was hurting him. Willow watched Hazel scowl as she watched Kevin. “You think I didn’t try to move on?” she spat, pacing like a caged animal. “You think I didn’t want to heal? I met men, go
The billionaire's regret Chapter 43: panicking
Chapter 43Kevin’s breathing grew erratic, his chest was rising and falling asleep he took shallow gasps. 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
The billionaire's regret CHAPTER 42: She's alive!!
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
The billionaire's regret CHAPTER 41: great news
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
The billionaire's regret CHAPTER 40: being in the dark
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 billionaire's regret Chapter 39
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,
The billionaire's regret Chapter thirty eight : you are not my mother!
“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”. Bailey, the nanny who had brought Xavier chirped in. She gave them privacy.The family of three hugged each other and for a very long time Zephyr felt complete again.But just when you think that
The billionaire's regret CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN: More regrets
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
The billionaire's regret CHAPTER THIRTY SIX: sick
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
