Nova didn't want to tell Zephyr that she had regained her memory. She knew the risk behind doing that. It might as well attract risk from the side of Eryx. Eryx might decide to destroy Zephyr and her son. “I asked you a question,” Zephyr quickly snapped her off her thinking. “I'm sorry. What memories are you talking about?” Nova quickly denied, glaring into Zephyr's eyes. She was so good this time at lying. So it was easy to mask her emotions behind a firm expression. “Nevermind. Then I should be asking you what you're doing here, them?” Zephyr asked curiously. Zephyr wasn't so sure that Nova was being clean with him. He knew that she was hiding something from him. But he couldn't tell what it was exactly. Everything about her was pointing towards a sudden change in personality, and that was Zephyr's first guess anyway. “I need your help,” Nova replied. “I think you should be a bit more detailed. I can't just offer you help like that,” Zephyr demanded. “I need to find out
Nova gasped in shock as her jaw dropped open while glaring at a rather shocking scenerio. Her face hardened as she just kept glaring at the lady. It was the same Anna which followed Zephyr to the restaurant. Nova began to feel uneasy within herself. She had the feeling of just grabbing her and killing her immediately but that would be too much. Nova's eyes moved from the crown of her head down to her feet, checking to see who Zephyr actually saw in her. That was when she noticed that she was wearing Zephyr's shirt. All these little notable facts piqued her suspicions, and the only thing she needed was Zephyr to finally tell her that he was in a relationship with her. She had a lot of questions reeling in her mind. She didn't understand why she had to be seeing Anna with Zephyr every time. It was quite overwhelming and too much for Nova to keep up with. She was trying too hard to vo trol her emotions and get a her act together. But the more she tried to keep quiet and ignore w
As Nova walked. She felt her legs in the air. It was as if she was 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 know
“You just killed her”. Nova couldn't believe Eryx could be this heartless just to keep a secret she already knows about.The air around her seemed to thicken, stretching out the moment into something unreal. Her eyes locked onto the scene before her Eryx, standing over the lifeless body, blood splattering everywhere like some twisted oath. Her breath hitched in her throat, silent and sharp, as if even her lungs refused to accept what they’d just witnessed.“Nova it's not what you are thinking”. His face twisted, caught between desperation and panic.His Eyes widened, not with guilt, but with a frantic need to explain like if he could just speak fast enough, he could rewind time. His brows knit together, deep lines etching across his forehead, and his lips parted, trembling slightly before the words tumbled out.“It’s not what you’re thinking.” He repeated, trying to look like he didn't mean for it to happen but he ended up looking like a serial killer in one of those horror movies.His
OUTLINE 43“The police,” Nova gasped as the police made her pull to a halt. She found herself breathing heavily as she glared at the policeman getting down from his car. “What's going to be my fate?” She muttered as sweat rolled down from her forehead despite the AC in her car. Niva began to think about a life behind bars. Maybe she was scared after all. All she could think of was how stupid she was to think that she was going to walk away after that woman had threatened that she called the police on her. The policeman held onto his handcuffs, which were lying on his belt as he slowly inched towards Nova's car. Nova fixed her eyes forward as he leaned down to her windows and knocked. Nova swallowed hard and slowly pushed her window down. “Good evening, ma'am,” the policeman greeted softly. “Good…good evening, sir,” Nova stuttered, trying to get her act together. “Your Air conditioner is on, and yet you're sweating profusely,” he highlighted, noticing that Nova was covered in
“Common zephyr, stop it, your wife Nova is waiting outside”. Tiana whispered coyly to Zephyr, who was lustfully sniffing and nuzzling her neck with desperate intensity.“Don't pay attention to her, let's have a quickie, okay”. He said in a commanding and raspy voice that seemed otherworldly. He moves his hands that laid on her exposed cleavage to his trousers, fumbling with the zipper.“I want to fuck you right now Tiana, against that door, so she can hear us”. He growled with silent anger, his breath quickening as he kissed her more aggressively.“Stop it Zephyr, at least let's hear what she has to say”. Tiana reprimanded, pushing his hands away and biting her lips seductively.“Shit, he whispered under his breath. What the hell does she want?” His eyes darkened as he hated the interruption. Hasn't she done enough? He thought within him. She betrayed him even after all the things he had done for her.He guessed the saying, once a stripper, always a stripper, was true. Don't ask him w

“Kevin, I must say that your mental health has improved really much”. The nurse Kevin had come to see for consultation said with a big smile on her face.Kevin didn't really know if he should smile or remain as he was. Because his mental health has been his biggest insecurity and it made him lose the only family he had. Because not even his mother was his family now. She was a murderer and his fargywas was her puppet.*I want you to know that mental disorders may not have cures but they can be catered. But you must take your medication in order not to relapse”. The voice of the nurse echoed.She said so many other things like how he should avoid certain food like alcohol and embrace natural healthy food.After that he left not without thanking her though. He had changed so much in the last one year. He has now retired as a lawyer but owns several businesses. He was Also involved in helping Zephyr conquer his brother.But did all this give him happiness? When the woman whom he truly lo
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.

“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
