Jane walked into the house immediately after the knock, her eyes darting around the house in search of Eryx. She came with Eryx from the office. She's been waiting outside for Eryx to pick up the documents he said he wanted to fetch. But he was taking so much time, and she was beginning to feel uneasy, thus losing her patience. She finally lost her patience, and was utterly irritated that Eryx had to make her stand for so long. “Eryx!!” She called out, slowly advancing towards Eryx’ room. She slowly pushed the door open, walking without taking any permission.Her eyes widened as she glared at Eryx and Nova standing so close to each other. She saw Eryx’ belt loosened, forcing her to feel a pricking pain in her heart. Her mind reeled vigorously as she tried so hard to get her act together, thus remaining calm before a situation that was already driving her nuts. Jane was already furious within her because Eryx is hers, and she never had the intention of sharing him with anyone,
Nova stormed into her room, panting heavily as she leaned against her bed, trying to normalise her high breathing rate. Her heart raced heavily in synchrony with her breathing rate. Nova quickly grabbed a glass of water, which rested on the table in her room, and emptied its contents into her body while trying to remain calm. She just couldn't believe that she was almost caught while trying to open the safe. Her mind reeled vigorously as she thought of what Eryx would have done to her if he had the slightest clue that it was what she was trying to open. “What if he knew I was looking for something in his safe?” she said under her breath. Nova arched her arm above her waist and constantly kept pacing from one corner to another, feeling utterly restless within her. She was growing eager to see what Eryx was hiding, and she could only do so if Eryx was not around. She constantly kept peering through the windows, hoping that Eryx would leave soon. “Maybe Zephyr was right,” she th
Eryx walked into his office briskly, his head high as he took his seat. There was no better news than the one he had just heard. Eryx couldn't help the broad smile that masked his face as he sat in his chair. A knock followed at the door of his office, and he quickly permitted him to come in. “Greetings, sir,” his secretary greeted, bearing some files in his hands and a soft smile registered on his face. “Good morning,” Eryx replied, giving him the audience to speak. “We have completed the project, sir,” he announced with a broad smile on his face. He was utterly filled with so much excitement in his heart. But he tried his best to remain calm before his boss. “I love hearing this kind of news,” Eryx replied. “That's not all, sir. It has already started yielding a great amount of income,” he added. “Excellent. I'm sure the income is running in millions as I predicted,” Eryx said, boasting about his work. “You're right, sir. It was shocking, but yes, sir. We're making million
Nova sat on the sofa in the sitting room, rubbing her hair softly as she pondered on what to do next. She was utterly frustrated and deeply irritated that she was unable to come up with an answer to all her suspicions. Nova lifted her phone, having the thought to call Zephyr. But unfortunately, she didn't have his number. She was feeling deeply disappointed in herself that she was unable to fulfil the promise she made to Zephyr. After promising Zephyr that she will fetch answers, and end up with the truth. She found out that it was harder than she expected. Things weren't turning out as she expected, and it was because of the fact that she triggered Eryx’ suspicions. She rested her perplexed and heavy head in her hand as she kept pondering on the events that surrounded her. Suddenly, Eryx stormed into the house with a smile beaming on his face. Nova jerked immediately, startled by the way he entered the house. “What's the problem?” She asked curiously, shocked at Eryx's inces
Zephyr briskly walked in, holding Anna's hand as they washed into the restaurant. She was the same lady which he met at the party while being staged in a discussion with Nova. Nova couldn't help her aching heart as she glared at the two parties walking into the building. Anna was dressed in a beautiful dinner dress, causing every eye to be fixed in her as she walked into the building. Nova constantly kept staring at them, finding herself feeling deeply irritated by seeing the girl. She didn't have any personal relationship with her, so she couldn't explain why she was so annoyed upon seeing her. Eryx slowly turned to see what Nova was looking at for so long. “To what do I owe this surprise, brother?” Eryx stood up, stretching his hand in offering a handshake. He wore a broad smile on his face, masking his deceitful heart. Zephyr knew clearly that the handshake wasn't coming from a place of love or friendship so he turned a blind eye towards the handshake, ignoring Eryx withou
Eryx glared at Nova with utter fury. His heart was filled with anger and his eyes beamed with great anger as well. He was utterly irritated and couldn't stand the misbehaviour that came from Nova. His breathing grew enraged as he looked after Nova, finding it hard ro keep his anger bottled up again. “How could you be looking at him like that?” Eryx asked angrily, glaring at her with great fury. “What do you mean?” Nova asked, shocked by the question he asked her. How could he be saying such a thing about her? She thought to herself. “You were looking at him with so much lust. I know that look when I see it,” Eryx said angrily, trying so hard to keep his voice low. “I don't understand what you're talking about. You must have seen a totally wrong thing,” Nova said, taking her eyes away from him. “I know you want him. You want him, huh? Talk to me, Nova,” Eryx said, glaring at her angrily. He was very angry, but he didn't want to create a scene. He decided to keep everything to
Eryx found himself laughing so hard that his stomach nearly began to ache. He found himself feeling that what Nova said was a joke. He just couldn't believe that she just said that she wouldn't marry him. After everything he's done to get to this level. He kept laughing harder and harder. Nova's expression was edged with utter confusion as she glared at Eryx. What she said wasn't so funny, so she couldn't understand why Eryx was laughing in such a manner. She folded her arms as she stood, glaring at Eryx as he displayed his act before her. “You're joking, right?” Eryx asked, taking a seat on the sofa as he tried to get his act together. Nova arched her eyebrows as she glared at Eryx. “You probably didn't hear what I said. I said I don't want to marry. I'm dead serious,” she highlighted firmly, casting piercing stares upon Eryx. Eryx watched her expression and realized that she was not joking. Nova was being dead serious and he could see it in her expression. His plan was slo
Nova slowly opened the book and began reading its content. But they weren't making any sense to her. She kept flipping from one page to the other, jumping from one story to another. She couldn't seem to understand any of it, and the words were strange to her. She looked at the cover of the book again, and had a striking feeling about the book. Her instincts were driving her to the fact that the boom was quite familiar, but she didn't know how. That was the question she was trying to answer. Her mind reeled vigorously as she pondered the means to answer the questions created by her head. She took a seat on the ground as she tried to force herself into understanding the contents of the book. But it was all useless. There was no chance of her understanding what was in the book. Suddenly, her memories began playing before her like it was all happening at once on a television, revealing every little detail that was hard for her to remember all this while. She remembered that she h
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. Just two people, finally finding each other. Kevin on the other hand was stiff but he soon relaxed. He moved back and suddenly kissed her, making her gasp in shock. He didn't mean to leave her alone but he had to h
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
Kevin had no idea how he got to the church within seconds of getting that information. 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. It was Alex, who was à friend to both him and zephyr. How is it possible that he could do this?Does anyone object to the union of these two beautiful couples?Kevin wondered if there was another meaning to the words “couple”. Or was this some form of welcoming or was it a prank. It must be right.So he thought but he hadn't realized yet that there was so much more to be uncovered.I object. His voice came out louder and stronger than expected. He wanted to understand what was going
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 o

“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
As Nova walked. She felt her legs in the air. It was as if she was not flying. Her little gasp could be heard by almost everybody that walked past her.“This isn't meant to be happening to me. I shouldn't have gotten my memory back now”. She said to herself as she finally stopped by the road side trying to catch her breath. Her brain replayed the memories of what had just happened.Somehow Nova found herself back where she came out from. Eryx mansion. A place she could never call home. Just as she was about to enter she heard hush voices and immediately she knew it belonged to Eryx as well as Jane.“Why would you do that? Do you want to jeopardize my fucking plans bitch”. She could feel the greed that followed his vulgar words.“I didn't do it on purpose Eryx, please try to understand that”….. she tried speaking up but he interrupted.“Shut that fucking mouth of yours”, Nova imagined his veins popping from the side of his neck. An expression she was quite used to.“I know you Jane. I
