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

    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

    In Zephyr's mansion sat Mrs. Lockwood. As soon as she heard that Zephyr had remarried Nova, she ran to the airport for the next flight to New York.As soon as she got to his home, she started ranting to the butler.“You know, Williams, I never knew exactly what he saw in this girl. At first, I thought he was over her when Tiana came into his life. She paused as if regretting that she mentioned that name. But Tiana turned out to be something else”. She said it out loud as if it weren't her fault Zephyr ended up with her.Williams just stood there as he panicked. He didn't know which side to pick. If he defended young madam nova, Mrs. Lockwood would probably cut his head off. If he then decided to support Mrs. Lockwood, then he would be a bad person.“She was a stripper, Williams. A stripper”. She continued, and she said the words loudly and then silently in a dramatic manner. Nova was just like four feet away from where she was seated, and she could hear everything.“And now she is an

    “You fucking bastard”. Zephyr yelled in devastation as well as anger. At first, he thought he was dreaming, maybe his eyes were playing jokes on him, and it wasn't really the guy trying to force his way with his wife.He landed him a punch and kept punching him until someone jerked him off.“You are going to kill him if you continue like that”. Alex held him tightly to prevent him from causing further damage.Do you know who else was dreaming? That's right, it was James. He had no idea why his boss and his friend who was his business partner was beating the hell out of him at the time of his pleasure.

    “Oh! It's not something serious. Just a party to celebrate our current movie. Our sponsors are going to be there and I was told to specially invite you”. A lopsided grin tugged at the corner of his mouth. While One hand casually tucked into his pocket, the other gestured loosely in the air as if the invitation wasn’t a big deal. “Wait. Are you talking about the luxurious party that is being held by one of the most famous producers in New York?” She wonders why he was talking so casually about it.Jane rolled her eyes as Nova spoke. Always acting like the world revolved around her. Jane thought with a scrunched expression.“Yes Nova. You got it right”. He smiled.“But why didn't you inform me earlier? I haven't even prepared anything. I have nothing to wear and”….“No worries, we have everything under control. Right Jane?”. He diverted towards an unbothered Jane.“Uhh. Yes”. She simply said not knowing what she was about to hear next will blow her mind.“You might be wondering why I a

    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 simply said without any emotion. He could feel Tiana 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 word of affirmation even though she didn't really care.Zephyr nodded again politely as he watched them go to the car and soon they zoomed off.

    Nova glared at Jane, a wave of shock surging through her spine. “What do you mean?” Nova asked, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Jane chuckled, laughing like she had just heard a joke. “You should have seen your face. You looked so pathetic,” Jane teased. Nova still looked confused, her expression looking very perplexed. “I don't understand.” “Easy Nova. I was just teasing. I am just trying to say that I want a man who will treat me the same way Eryx treats you. I want him sooner,” Jane said, seductively biting her lips as she winked at Nova. “You shouldn't be playing with something as sensitive as that,” Nova warned, her expression looking perplexed. “Relax, Nova. Nobody is taking your man from you. Not me anyway. Trust me,” Jane said, softly patting her on her shoulder. Nova was still disturbed about her reply, but she decided to allow the subject to die. There was no use of dwelling on it anyway. Nova and Jane finished up with their meal, and retired back to work. When

    Nova wore a soft smile as she watched Jane take a seat. She was clearly happy to see her, and so was Jane. Their smiles beaming with every excitement that came with it. “You look gorgeous anyway,” Jane complimented Nova, forcing her to blush lightly. “Thanks, darling. You've made my day. Compared to that sick psycho that just left my office,” Nova sighed, furiously glaring at the door. “Tell me about it,” Jane smiled softly, giving Nova a soft nudge on her shoulder. “You won't believe it. She came into my office this morning, neglecting what she actually came here for. Just to lecture me about my character,” Jane let out a rather sarcastic laughter. “What does she know about character development? She sucks at relationships with people,” Jane mocked while trying her best not to laugh so hard. Nova snapped her finger in affirmation. “That's right. Do you see the way she speaks to clients? She's literally the rudest staff we have in this firm,” Nova chuckled. “You're right. I no
