Damon immediately let go of Willow. How could he not? Only if he wanted his head off before the next day. “Uh…uh Kevin I was just playing with willow here”. He tried to defend himself with shaky hands.

“Get out”. He simply said not even stressing his words. And Damon flew away like a scared cat.

“Willow?” He called out her name like a question.

“Than..thank you sir”. Willow said before scurrying away. She was shy of the handsome man who saved her but at the same time the Colour of his eyes lingered in her memories.

Kevin would have sworn a minute ago that she was hazel. The girl whose life he cut short. What was he even thinking he killed her with his own hands?

Day came, and several nights flew by. Even though Willow wasn't hazel, Kevin found himself moving close to her. He found her voice suiting and her smile brightened his soul. He will find himself eager to meet with her where they read together.

“Kevin, I like you”. Willow was the first to confess her feelings. His heart flutter

    It's been two months since Kevin and Willow got back together and it's been two months since Nova has been forcefully staying with zephyr.Nova sat at the dining table, practically staring into space. She remembered how heart broken Eryx was when she ran into him. Was she stupid for accepting Zephyr? She asked herself with a saddened mind. but she had no choice or he would have taken her son away from her.He asked her if she loved him and she couldn't say anything. Not even a word. She could remember her own words vividly.“Does it even matter? We can never be together. Be happy and lead a good life. Your brother won't hurt you as long as I stay by his side”.Eryx cocked his head to the side trying to understand her. “So you are protecting me”. He asked with raised brows.Nova didn't respond. She only turned her face to the other side.“I don't believe you Nova, I don't believe a word you say. You told me I was going to fight for us and you just left me and went for him”. The frustr

    Nova stood up from her seat and faced Zephyr. He was dressed in his exceptional hand made suit that usually made him stand out. Navy blue plain jackets and pants that match perfectly with his dark eyes.“I will be heading to work and the nanny already took Xavier to school”. He said it curtly and he felt the need to explain since she woke up quite late.Nova took in her laughter. Of course she knew her son was in school already, if not she wouldn't have been as calm as she was.She nodded her head coldly and returned to sip her coffee.“Good”. He said even though she didn't respond. She may not love him but at least he was with her and that was enough for now.He made his way and was almost at the door when she called him.“Zephyr, I need you to sign some papers. Xavier was asked to fill in something at school and all we need now is your signature”. She said without flinching.“Let's just wait till I get back”. He said and started to walk away.“No wait”. Her voice echoed without her

    Only seconds passed but to Nova it looked like years. She took slow deliberate steps as she approached Eryx’s house. She held the papers in her hands as doubt spiraled around her.Was she doing the right thing? She had asked herself several times. She pushed the impulsive thought to one side as she opened the heavy metallic door.As soon as she entered she was stopped by Eryx's voice. “What are you doing here Nova, I told you I wouldn't see you until you fulfill your part of the plan”.He somehow felt that she wasn't going to go through with it and even if she did, he would have to pull some more strings.“Here”. She handed him the papers without an expression on her delicate face.A sharp gasp escaped his lips, followed by a slow, disbelieving grin that spread wider than ever before. His eyes darted between the prize in his hands and the devastation left in his wake, sparkling with a manic blend of triumph and disbelief. For a moment, he stood frozen, as though his mind struggled to

    “You fucking disgusts me Zephyr. Even at times like this you are still speaking bad of him. He didn't deserve any of the brutal things you did to him”. You could see anger and regret in her eyes at the same time.“Brutal”? Zephyr could not help but scoff. “You see that's the problem Nova, you have always been blind simply because he portrayed himself better”. His deep voice vibrated with the molecules of the atmosphere.“What you forget is that sometimes the devil you know is better than the angel you don't know. The alcohol in his system has started to wear off. You judge according to what you see. What about what you don't know?” He lowered his voice but ensured it was loud enough.“ENOUGH”! She yelled at him. “You are the problem, Zeph and Eryx would forever be an angel to me. The angel who saved me, built my career and helped raise my son”.“No nova. I fucked up years ago but he isn't near an angel. Instead he is something intricate and complex”. He tried to make gestures with his

    Her mouth opened, but only a choked whisper escaped, her voice breaking, "How could you?"And in that instant, the world seemed to crumble beneath her feet. Every ounce of doubt from a moment ago was replaced by an unbearable wave of guilt and shame. Her expression was a mirror reflecting the destruction wrought on something you never intended to shatter.“No no. It's not what you think Nova”. His voice was filled with manipulation as he ran towards her and at the same time struggled to put on his pants.Jane didn't even bother to cover up. To her it was an opportunity for Nova to know who eryx was and she wasn't going to waste this opportunity. So she was just going to watch.“She is a nobody flower. I only used her to while away time”.“Don't you dare say that to me eryx. What I want to know is why you called her Nova”. She barked with dangerous emotions in her eyes.Eryx took a deep breath as realization fell on him. She caught him already so he couldn't hide anything.“Don't you s

    “Just answer me, Eryx. Everything you did for me was just so you could keep me away from him right?”.Eryx couldn't look into her eyes. His hands were vibrating and he felt as though something heavy had been placed upon his chest. When triumph changed Into something else.“You don't have to believe anything he says Nova”. “You know how he is, you know he would do anything to keep us apart and apart”. His eyes darted from her hands to her face.Nova nodded her head in disbelief. “Then why did you want power, why do you feel insecure about me. Why do I feel like you are lying?” She yelled for the upteen time.“Umm.. Eryx I think I will come some other time”. Jane has gotten tired of the endless arguments. She had worn her clothes and walked away not without walking close to Nova “He fucks so well. She hissed before leaving immediately”, not giving Eryx the chance to hear her.Nova ought to feel pain, jealousy and betrayal. However she just felt numb. It was a feeling that wasn't new to

    “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."It didn

    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

    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.

    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

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.

    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.

    “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
