Mr billionaire's regret: chasing after my ex-wife isn't easy 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

“I don't care what she says, I'm not leaving your side," Willow mumbled and dragged her bag back into the house. The moment Willow stepped back, she knew for a fact that she was now in enemy territory. Hazel was going to make her life a living hell and she had no doubt about that. But the most important to Willow at this time was to make sure that Kevin was safe. As if to solidify her decision, she caught sight of Kevin, slumped on the couch, his face pale and eyes hollow. He looked like a man teetering on the edge of sanity. He looked broken and lost. “Babe," she called out but he didn't say anything. He didn't acknowledge her. While Willow was still standing there, lost, Hazel sashayed down the stairs. She looked amused at the sight of Willow in the living room. “Weren't you just leaving?" She asked and then gestured at her bags, “or so you need help with these?" Willow hissed at her. “Are you so heartless that you'll leave him in this state?” Hazel looked at Kevin and sai

Willow followed Kevin out the door, her heart racing as she struggled to control the trembling in her hands. What had Kevin done? How could he tell her that she should leave him? Leave their home? “Kevin, stop!” she called after him, her voice clearly filled with desperation. He didn’t turn, his steps weren't even steady. It was as though he were walking away from more than just her. “Kevin, please!” she tried again, jogging to catch up with him. She grabbed his arm, forcing him to face her. “You have to wake up!" But Kevin shrugged and when he whipped around to face her, his eyes were distant, hollow, the warmth she once knew wasn't there, it was replaced by a chilling emptiness. “You need to think about this,” Willow urged, her voice softer now. “Think about us,.about everything we’ve been through. She’s manipulating you, Kevin. You know that, deep down. She’s not here because she loves you. She has an agenda.” Kevin’s jaw tightened, and his hands began to tremble. At first

Willow was hurt. How could Kevin think that she was Hazel's sister? Was his condition really so bad? “Kevin, don't you remember me?" She asked. Hazel looked at her quizzically, "Didn't you just say his condition is terrible? Are you going to shock him and make it worse?” She whispered. Willow saw how distraught Kevin looked. Of course she didn't want to make it worse. She had to sigh and agree that Hazel was her sister. “Of course, she's my sister,” Willow replied with a soft tone. Hazel smirked and led Kevin inside. Willow was broken. Her life had just shattered in one day. Kevin didn't remember her. His memory was fragmented. The next morning, Willow stood in the kitchen, staring blankly at the steaming cup of tea in her hands. She was worried. Kevin's mind was in shambles. He refused to go with her to therapy and Hazel was now in full control of his life. In the days since Kevin’s condition had deteriorated, Willow had been forced to play along with the pretense that she

The moment the door burst open and the paparazzi flooded in, their cameras flashing, Willow’s breath caught in her throat. Hazel had done this. No doubt about that. Even as she snapped at Willow, there was a cruel smirk on her face. The tiny bathroom became a pit of chaos, as the press people continued to shout and ask so many questions that Willow’s bead began to spin. “Who are you to Kevin?” One of the paparazzi asked as she shoved a mic in Willow's face. “Hey, get away from me!” Willow said, moving back until Kevin was right behind her. "So you came in here to mess with my husband, huh? You should be ashamed of yourself!” Hazel sneered angrily at her. “He came in here, I didn't bring him." Willow shot back. Hazel looked stunned that she was still defensive. “Why were you kissing him?” One of them asked, “are you his mistress?” Willow could barely think, her eyes darting to Kevin. Was she his mistress? Willow itched to say that she was his wife. His lawfully wedded wife. B

Willow’s breath caught in her throat. For a moment, she was struck silent, the true meaning of Monica’s words felt like it was meant to hurt her, to come down on her like a physical blow. “Or didn't you know the laws? I thought you were some sort of a lawyer," Madam Monica scoffed. Willow knew she was right. The law didn't recognize or honor any marriage with a retard. “i am not a lawyer and I don’t care about the laws,” Willow said, her voice trembling slightly. “Kevin and I love each other, and that’s what matters.” “Love? Are you kidding?" Hazel scoffed, “don't be pathetic! We all know that love doesn't matter right now. He isn't your husband.” Willow sighed. "You can throw all the rules and insults you want at me, but you can’t change that.” Monica’s lips curled into a sneer. “Love is a fleeting illusion, my dear. What Kevin needs is stability. Guidance. Someone who understands the burden of his condition, not someone who enables it.” Willow felt like she'd be physicall

Therapy had been the solution Willow had agreed to weigh Kevin. But now, she couldn't get him to come along. Hazel had gotten so far with her manipulation that Kevin only did what she wanted. That afternoon, Willow sat in the dimly lit office of Kevin's therapist. The doctor had prescribed his drugs but still, he wasn't getting any better. He still walked around like a zombie, not knowing exactly what was happening around him. “He couldn't make the visit?" The therapist asked as he looked down his glasses at Willow. “No, I have tried everything I could. He won't leave the house with me." Willow replied. But she knew quite well it was because of Hazel's influence. The therapist sighed heavily and nodded, “How's he doing?" “He’s been acting so… distant,” Willow began, her voice barely above a whisper. “It’s like he’s there, but he’s not really there. He barely looks at me, and when he does, it’s like he’s trying to push me away. I don’t know what to do anymore.” The therapist n

Hazel’s eyes narrowed as Willow stood defiantly.The priest looked a little confused because never in a long time had he seen any opposition against marriage in his cathedral. “What?" He asked, a little stunned. People in the crowd gasped and looked at Willow strangely, some turning to stare at Hazel with questioning eyes but she quickly composed herself, forcing a tight smile. “You have something against this union?" He asked, surprised. Willow turned around and faced the crowd with a sly smile. “I just realized something,” she said sweetly. “I almost forgot to wish you a happy birthday, Hazel.” Everyone looked surprised and then a few clapped nervously. Most were wondering if this was why she'd interrupted the marriage. “I mean, you must feel very lucky, getting married on your special day. Isn’t that something to celebrate?” The words were polite on the surface, but it was a subtle reminder that she wasn’t going anywhere without a fight. Hazel blinked, momentarily thrown

*****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

“You can come in now,” the secretary announced, ushering Eryx and Nova into the mayor's office. Eryx grabbed his briefcase, following behind Nova as they both briskly walked into the mayor's office. Eryx gasped in shock, slowly dropping his briefcase as he was offered a chair to sit down. “Kevin!” He exclaimed, arms folded as he remained standing, glaring at him with his jaw dropped. Kevin suffered from a mental illness, but it was shocking to see that he was alright now. Kevin let out a soft smile, looking at Eryx as he wallowed in a pool of evident surprise. “Are you being for real?” Eryx asked, finally letting out words from his open mouth. Kevin chuckled lightly. “Stop exaggerating everything.” “No. This is quite a huge shock. Are you now an assistant to the mayor? I must confess, I am more than surprised to see you here,” Eryx arched his eyebrows and gazed at Kevin in awe. Kevin smirked, keeping a calm demeanour as he looked at Eryx. “Just have a seat, Eryx,” he replied

Nova gasped in shock. The voice rang a bell in her head. She placed the phone on her ear, trying so hard to recall the voice. The pain behind the tone drove a wave of shock through her spine, forcing her to remain in a fixed position for a long time. But unfortunately, she couldn't remember anything. Her mind reeled, desperately trying to remember where she heard the voice from. Her brain was totally blank, and there was no use of trying so hard to force the memories out. “Hello!! Hello!! Is anybody there!!” The pain laced voice kept crying out through the phone, beckoning for an audience. Eryx walked into the sitting room, drying his body with a towel while putting on only a short. He was feeling very refreshed by the cold shower, and he kept whistling while walking into the sitting room. He quickly noticed his phone on Nova's ear, and quickly rushed towards her, grabbing the phone from her immediately. The cry out from the phone continued, persistently beckoning at the top o

Cutleries clinked against plates, teeth munched through the tasty meal sitting before them. Nova moaned passionately, enjoying her delicious meal. The sweet savour filled the whole room, coursing through their nostrils as they ate from their plates. “Do you love it?” Eryx asked, clearing his throat lightly as he tried to break the silence that filled the room. A soft smile registered on Nova's face while she continued eating her food. “Of course I do. This is great,” she gushed, passionately emptying the contents of her plate.“That's…” A strong knock was heard at the door. Eryx cleared his throat, adjusting his chair properly as he turned away from the door, his gaze fixated upon Nova. Nova's instincts piqued, with her eyes glued to the door. The knock came again. “Let me go and get the door,” she said, alighting from her chair desperately. Eryx quickly grabbed her hand, forcing her to halt immediately. “Just ignore it. Let's have our time,” Eryx insisted. But the knock p

Eryx glared straight into her eyes, his patience gradually getting tested as he waited to get an answer from Jane. Jane took a deep breath, throwing herself onto the sofa next to her. “Isn't it obvious?” She asked, teasing Eryx. “What do you mean?” Eryx’ eyebrows furrowed deeply, his unwavering gaze fixated on Jane. “I came here because of you. You're the reason I am in this city anyway,” Jane revealed, biting on her finger seductively as her gaze remained fixated upon Eryx. “What do you mean? List to yourself. I am not some baby that needs a nanny,” Eryx highlighted, trying so hard to keep his anger in check. “Look, I need to know what I am standing to gain from all of this,” Jane said firmly. Eryx took a seat in the bed, his eyebrows furrowed as he tried to understand why she was speaking the way she was. “Are you drunk?” Eryx inquired. “I need to know what I will gain after Nova falls in love with you and believes everything that you're saying,” she replied softly. “You m

Nova was busy with the mails, responding and reading all mails that came in. Suddenly, a soft knock echoes from the wooden door, forcing their instincts to pique immediately. “Are you expecting anybody?” Eryx' instincts flared as his eyes remained fixated in the door. This days he was always paranoid.“No. Are you sure it isn't room service?” Nova replied, her expression filled with uncertainty. Because she wasn't expecting anyone.The knock repeated, persisting even further. Eryx was forced to have a look. He took a peek through the door hole, and gasped in shock. “Jane,” he whispered huskily, pulling the door slightly open. “Yeah, you look pathetic. Have you been working all day?” Jane asked, judging from Eryx’ worn out expression. “Who's there?” Nova inquired curiously. The voice outside sounded familiar, nut she needed clarity anyway. “Is everything ok, Eryx?” she persisted as she received no reply from her previous enquiry. “It's me, Jane!” she yelled, leaving Eryx with

Nova quickly shook her head, forcing herself to stop thinking a lot. Her mind was reeling a lot, and Nova felt this was too much for her. “What is the problem? You're not eating your food,” Eryx inquired curiously, holding Nova's soft palm in his. Nova forced a soft smile on her face, masking her perplexed countenance.“I'm fine. I need to use the restroom,” Nova quickly excused herself as she rushed towards the restroom. Eryx lifted his head slightly as he watched her leave. He was beginning to suspect her recent action, but he couldn't tell what was actually going on. Nova quickly shut the door behind her as she paced up and down in her room. Her hand rested beneath her jaw, eyebrows furrowed as she restlessly walked round the room. She kept pondering on the memories she was having lately. Eryx, Zephyr and Jane were the only people she found remember. But deep down, she felt there was more to it. “What if they aren't important people in my life? What if Eryx is lying to me

Besides, it's all she's got in a situation like this. “I'll get you a glass of water,” Eryx said, leaving the sitting room as he headed towards the kitchen. Nova's countenance was utterly perplexed, and a deep frown edged on her face as her mind reeled about several thoughts. Eryx has been good to her, and he has done nothing but look after her, but the sudden doubts are quite disturbing. “I must be overthinking,” she shook her head as she relaxed on the sofa. “Did you say something?” Eryx asked as he offered her a glass of water. Nova accepted it, but quickly let go of the cup as she felt another sharp sensation on her head. “What's going on?” Eryx panicked, helplessly trying to help her calm down. Nova screamed incessantly as she dealt with the excruciating pain on her head. “Hey mum, I'll love you to fix my favourite dish,” little Nova said, walking in to meet her mother in the kitchen. “What's your favourite dish, pumpkin?” Her mother asked, kneeling down to meet her heig
