The billionaire's regret CHAPTER TWENTY SIX: willow
In a world where Zephyr was going through his own trials, Eryx was plotting against him and Nova just wanted to be left alone with her son, and maybe she wanted Eryx too.Kevin was in his own misery, he might be feared by everyone but that didn't make him feel better. It didn't change the fact that Willow left him on their honeymoon. Which was obviously his fault.He trailed his hands on the painting and took a deep breath of the fragrance it left. It was her exhibition, and he wasn't supposed to be here.She had made it clear that she didn't want to have anything to do with him so why was he here? “Fuck you are stupid Kevin”. He cursed under his breath and took a step forward to take his leave, but he suddenly stopped.“Oh my God, that's her”. Little cheers that were not chaotic filled the atmosphere. They all wanted to take a look at the beautiful woman behind the wonderful art, and indeed she was breathtaking.As she took a group of people on a tour of each masterpiece. Kevin could

He ran after her and with every step she took, he felt she was slipping away from him. He couldn't live like this anymore so he was compelled to speak.“Wait, please. His voice came out as a cry. Do you think I treated you the way I did because I wanted to?” There was a mix of bitterness and emptiness in his voice. Something that made her want to stay and hear his reasons because this time it felt like he was ready.“I…I am sick Willow, he took up to a minute to successfully say those words. Kevin took in a deep breath before sitting on the passage floor while Willow came closer to hear him out. I was born a sick child. I was always alone and spent most of my time in the hospital away from my family. I mean who would want to be with someone with mental issues”. He chuckled in pity. Willow’s eyes widened and she felt her legs wobble. “Mental issues?” She whispered unbelievably. Was he struggling with his mental health? She asked herself.“My own mother will flog me to my senses whenev

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

The billionaire's regret Chapter 44: it's all in the past
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
