Eryx knew this wasn't the solution to his problems, but this was what he needed. A mind-blowing sex with someone he wasn't attached to, so he could get his mind off Nova and zephyr.

His eyes scanned Jane like a predator surveying its prey. His gaze lingered, dark and heavy, locking onto her with a spark that burned, not with warmth, but with hunger. His pupils were dilated, a telltale sign of his singular focus, and the faint curl of his lips hinted at a confidence that bordered on arrogance.

He leaned towards her his body angled toward her in a way that was deliberate, almost calculated. His shoulders rolled back, showcasing his broad frame, while his fingers toyed with the rim of his glass, a slow, rhythmic motion that seemed designed to draw attention. Every movement he made was intentional, his steps measured.

He placed his hands on her waist. His hands covered her waist completely because they were slim enough for his hands to go round it. Jane took in a gasp of air. She hated th

    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

    Zephyr was oddly calm as he stepped into the mansion. His appearance exuded command and power. You will just know that he is capable of handling his problems.“I don't know what has gotten into you Zephyr, but this girl can't be your wife”. His mother started speaking as soon as she saw him, and before he could even say anything else.“We are already married, mum”. He replied without looking at his mother. His gaze was on nova, he wanted to know if she was fine.“Are you okay?” he finally asked.“What do you think?” She used her hands to rub her arms as if she were in some kind of discomfort.“How could you do this, zephyr? You get married to her without informing me. Do you know what the media is saying? This is affecting the company and our status in the society”. She breathed in and continued.“It's okay for your brother to misbehave, but it's not okay for you to”….“IT'S NOT OKAY FOR ME TO WHAT, MOM?” He raked a hand through his hair, pulling slightly.“Fuck society and fuck what t

    “Do you need help, princess? I already completed my shift, I could give you a helping hand”. The bartender James was oddly too close to Nova who wasn't herself at that moment.“Get off me”. She pushed him away as she walked to a less busy area in the club. James' lips curved upwards and he followed her. “You know no one is going to help you here. Everyone is wasted”. He chuckled as if he had said something funny.Even though Nova was drunk she didn't like the aura the guy gave off. His funny jeans and the scar he had on his neck told an unknown tale.“I promise I am a good guy. You are in more danger if you continue to stay there all but yourself. I must tell you”. He sounded really convincing and when Nova felt her vision start to blur she knew she had no choice.“I can help myself, but I will let you just because I don't really know my way around here”. Take me to the exit so I can board a taxi home”.“Okay”. She heard him say.“I …ha.. Have a high alcohol threshold. How am I drunk

    “You fucking bastard”. Zephyr yelled in devastation as well as anger.

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. He opened his eyes widely to ensure he wasn't dreaming.I mean, it's not Every Time you get to see the great zephyr Lockwood. He doesn't even see the owner of the club.

    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.

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

    Eryx gasped in shock as he watched Zephyr briskly walk out of the cell, looking so full of himself. Zephyr glared at him keenly as he walked past him, his eyes embedded with so much fury. He tried his beat to hold himself back because it would be stupid to start a fight with Eyrx in this place. He just got out of prison, and he wasn't going back in there. “How did you get out, huh? How? Don't ignore me!” Eryx yelled.But Zephyr ignored him as he walked out of prison. “You can't hurt me anyway. I'll make sure of that!” Eryx yelled at the top of his voice, helplessly watching Zephyr walk away. “Here, sign these documents,” Eryx said, passing some documents onto Zephyr. The board members had organised a meeting with the mayor and Zephyr in regards to signing the documents pertaining to the project. Even though Eryx wasn't happy to find himself working in the same room as Zephyr. But he had no choice. Suddenly, the door opened forcefully, and the police rushed in, armed to the t

    Zephyr glared at him furiously. His breathing grew enraged, following the rising amount of rage within his nerves. He quickly grabbed the man’s neck, firmly holding onto it with all his strength as letting go was farfetched in this situation. “How dare you talk to me like that, huh?” he asked furiously, his eyes furiously laced with reddened fury. Consecutive punches followed, landing without mercy on the man’s face. He wasn’t given a chance to retaliate because Zephyr took it all from him. Zephyr kept on throwing hits without thinking twice until people rushed to the scene, grabbing Zephyr off the already injured man. Zephyr kept struggling, trying to lose their grip on him, but it was a futile effort. In no time, sirens were heard outside the bar, and the police came rushing into the bar. “Get down! Stay down!” they yelled as they placed a handcuff around his hand and dragged him to the police car immediately. “Let me go! You should arrest him, he came at me first,"Zephyr ye

    Nova quickly gasped in shock, and her hands grabbed her open mouth as she realized what she had done. A deep sense of shock edged on her face as she glared at the man she had just slapped. The whole building was driven into great silence as their eyes were fixated on the scene. “I'm…” Nova tried to say something, but words couldn't come out. She was in a deep state of shock, and words had eluded her lips. “Are you OK? Nova, what happened?” Eryx asked, trying to snap Nova out of her moment of shock. “Hey, you. You're responsible for this, right?” Eryx asked, lashing out to the waiter in a fit of rage. He threw punches on the waiter who tried his best to protect his face from getting hit. “Eryx, stop!” Zephyr rushed into the scene, pulling Eryx off the waiter. But Eryx turned to Zephyr and threw a punch. Fortunately, Zephyr's reflexes were fast, and he was able to dodge the punch. But he dealt a finishing blow on Eryx’ face, sending him to the ground.

It's an after party, am I not supposed to be here?Nova kept casting a cold stare upon him, glaring at him with a rather stoic expression. Zephyr's jaw dropped open, and he stared at Nova's pretty face. Her eyes beamed with so much beauty. “Zephyr!” Nova snapped her fingers before his face. Zephyr immediately shook his head, snapping out of his thoughts immediately. A soft smile registered on his face while his eyes pierced into Nova's. “What? Why are you looking at me like that?” She asked curiously, her eyebrows furrowed as she pulled her face a bit away from Zephyr. “Why are you so interested in my life?” Zephyr asked softly with a soft smile on his face. “I don't understand,” Nova admitted. “You've been so concerned to know about my life, every little secret. You're technically stalking me,” Z

    Zephyr narrowed his gaze, glaring at Nova who stood few inches away from him. “What plan are you talking about?” He asked calmly. Nova's face hardened, her gaze firmly fixated on Zephyr. “I know you've laid plans to have me back and end up destroying Eryx’ life,” she claimed. “And who told you all this?” Zephyr maintained an incredibly calm demeanour. “I just want to tell you that I won't let any of that happen. No matter how hard you try, you're just going to end up ruining everything for yourself,” she added. Zephyr's eyes darted across the restroom, and he pointed towards a sign boldly written on the wall. “MEN ONLY,” the sign read. “What do you want to see inside here?” Zephyr scoffed, walking into the toilet. Nova's face took a deep frown, her eyebrows furrowed deeply, and her heart boiled with great rage. “Pervert!” She slammed her hand against the wall and walked out angrily. Nova felt utterly insulted and disgraced before him. “He dared to speak to me in such a man

    The gates opened, allowing Kevin to drive his car into the house. He alighted from his car, glaring at the mansion before him. He rolled his car key between his fingers, whistling as he slowly walked into the house. “Uncle!” Xavier rushed to Kevin as he entered the house, his smile beaming incessantly as he hugged him. Kevin bent his knee, reducing his height to meet Xavier. “You're now all grown, Xavier,” he said, a soft smile registered on his face. “Here. I got you this,” Kevin added, handing him a box of chocolate. “You shouldn't have gone through the stress if getting him something,” Zephyr said, walking down the stairs into the sitting room. “Zephyr. What a pleasure to see you,” Kevin said, giving him a warm hug. Zephyr's smile wouldn't stop beaming as he was very happy to see Kevin. “Xavier, go at your room with your nanny,” Zephyr ordered softly. He nodded and quickly followed his nanny to his room, leaving them alone in the sitting room. Kevin sat on the couch, cr

    Breathing heavily and enraged, Eryx frustratingly got out of his car, violently shutting the door behind him. Nova gasped in shock, startled by Eryx’ sudden behaviour. She hasn't seen Eryx in this mood before.Meanwhile, Eryx was less concerned about Nova at the moment. The message from the Mafia Don destabilised him, and he was left in a fix, thinking of his next course of action. Eryx rubbed his head vigorously, trying so hard to think of his next action. He restlessly paced to and fro, his mind reeling with several thoughts. He kicked hard against the tire. “Arghhh!!” He yelled angrily. Nova just sat in the car, watching Eryx display an act of utter frustration. She just couldn't get over the image she saw during her memory flash. She was confused at this moment and definitely didn't know if Eryx was to be trusted. Eryx quickly braised himself, adjusting his tie and making his hair look in place. He briskly walked towards Kevin's office, walking in gently as he shut the

    *****8“Alright, that's great,” Eryx heaved a deep sigh of relief as he dropped the phone call. “Any good news?” Nova inquired, glaring at Eryx’ stressed expression. Eryx crashed onto the sofa, taking a seat next to Nova. “Yes. The mayor has agreed to meet up with us. I was able to schedule another appointment with him,” Eryx replied. “If he misbehaves again, I won't be slow to put him in his place,” Nova said angrily. The thought of returning to meet Kevin was actually irritating to her. Nova felt like scheduling another meeting with him was synonymous to licking his feet. But what choice did they have anyway. He was the only way to achieve what they came to Greenfield city for. Tie knotted, shirt neatly ironed, shoes well polished, and dress neatly worn. Nova and Eryx briskly walked towards Kevin's office, set out to reach their goal for the day. “Here, have a seat,” Kevin's smile greeted them as they entered his office. Eryx quickly accepted the gesture. But Nova persiste

    “What do you mean? Who are you talking about?” Nova asked angrily, surprised by Kevin's courage to have asked that question in the first place. “I mean Eryx. Do you trust him?” He persisted. “I don't understand? Why shouldn't I trust him?” Nova inquired. “There's more to Eryx that meets the eyes,” Kevin highlighted. Nova's eyes were fixated onto Kevin's. Meanwhile, Eryx stood at the corner, watching keenly to see what Nova's response was going to be. He was angry with Kevin, and his rage was already steaming as he looked at Kevin, but he decided to keep everything under control and wait for the perfect time to utter a single word. As Nova looked into Kevin's eyes, she began to sense an iota of truth in his question. Maybe he's right after all. Doubts began to rise as regards the trust that she harbours for Eryx. Nova began to suspect that there could be more to Eryx that she ever knows. “I hate you! I regret meeting you,” Zephyr's vouce echoed, causing chaos in Nova's head
