Suddenly, the police stormed the hospital unannounced.

Zephyr's eyebrows furrowed as his gaze locked onto the detective who stepped forward, flashing his badge before him.

“LAPD. Mr. Zephyr, you're under arrest for your fraudulent acts,” the detective announced, a firm look on his face as his eyes pierced through Zephyr's.

Zephyr's eyes flickered, his eyebrows furrowed as he opened his mouth, yet finding it hard to utter a word.

“How…What…” he stuttered.

“We have evidence against you, and this is a warrant demanding your immediate arrest,” the detective added, his voice laced with so much seriousness.

Zephyr stared in confusion, his eyebrows arched in shock, as he lasted his gaze on Eryx, who stood across the room.

“You have the right to remain silent, or anything you say may or will be used against you in the court of law. You also have the right to an attorney,” the detective said as he firmly handcuffed Zephyr and proceeded with pulling him away.

Eryx wailed profusely, tear

    Eryx’ eyebrows furrowed as the name rang a bell in his ears. “You've got to be kidding me,” he muttered angrily. “What did you say?” Nova slowly turned to see who was standing right next to her. Eryx quickly lit his face with a soft smile, grabbed her hand between his hands, and glared innocently into her eyes. “Where am I? Where is Zephyr?” Her curious question lingered, piercing Eryx’ heart like a finely sharpened dagger. “My name is Eryx, the man you love. Zephyr is your enemy,” Eryx said, his gaze firmly locked onto Nova's. “What are you saying? It's hard for me to believe you,” she replied, her eyes slightly squinted as she tried to sit upright on the bed. “Trust me, baby. I love you so much, and I would never lie to you. Zephyr has made us go through a lot, and I am not going to let tags happen again,” Eryx’ sweet tongue freely moved with the release of lies from his lips. “Zephyr? So he tried to hurt me?” Nova's eyebrows furrowed, as blank memory sought for information.

    The cutleries clinked against the plates, teeth munched against food. An awkward silence filled the dining room as they both had their dinner together. Nova made sure she kept a good distance away from Eryx on the dining table, but that didn't stop him from glaring at her exposed cleavage lustfully. Nova's appetite began to elude her. The room was growing hot for her to stay, and she kept trying to cover up herself. She constantly avoided eye contact, staring at other structures in the house. Eryx glared continuously, smirking his lips against each other, his eyes beaming with every ounce of lust. “So, I have a question,” Nova quickly broke the silence that ruled the room for a while. Forcing Eryx to jerk back to self-awareness and control his lustful urge. “Yeah…Yeah. I'm listening. What's your question,” he stuttered, cleaning the food stain in his mouth and adjusting his position in his chair. “I was wondering. This Zephyr, I must hate him so much to have called his name f

    Eryx’ mouth was shut, eyes fixed on the road, and so was Nova's. The blaring of horns, and sound of ignited engines greeted their ears as they drove to see Zephyr as requested by Nova. The car was filled with awkward silence as none of them had the courage to start a conversation. The atmosphere was growing uneasy and uncomfortable for Eryx. He shook his shirt in discomfort, unhooking one of the buttons. He kept checking the car's AC, doubting if it was working at all. “Do you want some music?” Eryx asked, swallowing nervously as he stole a glance at Nova. Nova kept a straight look, and kept her eyes fixated on the road, totally avoiding having any contact with Eryx. She responded with a cold silence, maintaining a pale expression on her face. Her mind reeled with several thoughts, and she was beginning to grow uneasy around Eryx. “Why don't we talk about something interesting, huh? Like… you know, your job as an actress,” his persistence pressed further, desperately seeking

    Zephyr's eyebrows furrowed as his gaze locked onto Nova. He found it hard to understand why Nova just asked that question, utter confusion ruled his mind as he kept staring at her. Eryx grew uneasy, his feet tapping constantly against the ground as he nervously watched them talk. “Yes, Nova. It is me. Zephyr,” he replied softly, his arms wide spread with a soft smile. “Why do you seem shocked? Did you lose your memory after the surgery?” Zephyr asked confusingly. Nova glared at him, irritated by everything about him, thus keeping mute to all his questions. Zephyr quickly slammed his hand against his forehead. “My bad. I totally forgot the doctor said there was a high risk of you losing your memory after the surgery,” he lamented. “I know you must be happy that I lost my memory,” Nova replied bluntly. “What? No, how will you say such a thing?” A piercing pain struck his heart. He still couldn't understand why she sounded the way she did. “Look, Zephyr. You may think that I ha

    The warm shower drained through his hair, and streamed down his firm body. Eryx exhaled to the soothing feeling that coursed through his nerves as he had a warm shower. He whistled as he got out of the shower, cleaning his body up with his towel. He moved his comb gently through his curly hair, admiring his face in the mirror. He reached out to his wardrobe and grabbed a black pair of trousers, accompanied by a white shirt and a luxurious black suit. He adjusted the laces of his neatly polished black shoe, looking attractive, and completely decent. He smirked at the image of himself before the mirror. He grabbed his briefcase and walked down the stairs. “Good morning, Nova. You seem worried,” helmet Nova sitting cold on the sofa in the sitting room. She raised her eyes, and forced a soft smile as she saw Eryx. “Where are you going?” She asked curiously, noticing his formal attire. “I need to go to work. I have a lot of things to attend to. But I'll be back soon,” he replied

    Eryx’ eyes widened as he stared at the figure who just called out his name. “Jane!” He exclaimed shockingly, his eyebrows raised as he glared at her from a distance. Jane hurriedly ran towards him, her arms spread wide open as she quickly embraced him, letting out a soft moan. “I have missed you,” she admitted, her arms tightly wrapped around him. Eryx quickly pushed her away from him, loosening her grip around him as he casted a rather stoic expression on her. “How dare you? Do you want to embarrass me?” Eryx flared furiously, his eyes glaring right into hers. Jane's eyebrows furrowed, her gaze locked onto Eryx’. “What do you mean, Eryx? It's me, Jane,” she said, trying to affirm that Eryx was fully aware of her identity. “Of course I know it is you. You slut! Get off me,” He roared, his gaze sternly reeking with fury. Jane trembled as fear gripped her, sending shivers through her spine. She quickly moved a few inches away from Eryx as she stared shockingly at him. Her min

    A Deal in the DarkThe prison cell was cold. Sterile. Lifeless. Zephyr sat on the edge of the hard mattress with his elbows resting on his knees, hands clasped together in anger and nervousness. How could he let this happen to him? How had Eryx managed to take everything he owned and ever cared about? His father was gone. Nova was lost to him. And Eryx had won. For now. While he was still deep in thoughts, the sound of approaching footsteps could be heard through the hall. through the hall. A guard’s voice could be heard as he banged on Zephyr's door twice. “You have a visitor.” Zephyr barely looked up. The door buzzed open and the guard led him to the meeting area. That's when he saw Alex. Alex, his best friend, his brother in arms, the only person left in the world who knew who Zephyr truly was beneath all the mess Eryx had created. Alex looked very disturbed as he sat across Zephyr. “Were you able to get any evidence?” Zephyr asked, his voice forcefully calm despite

    The van jerked violently as it came to a screeching halt. Zephyr braced himself against the cold metal walls of the van as the impact threw him off his seat. The officers in the van looked among themselves, wondering what was happening. Something was happening. “Hey, what's going on out there!" The guard beside Zephyr hollered loudly to the driver. “We've been intercepted!" The driver replied heatedly. At this same time, the doors of the van swung open at once. Zephyr squinted against the sudden brightness as the sun flooded into the interior of the van. Outside, multiple cars were parked in formation with their engines still rumbling. He didn't have to see who it was to know exactly what had happened. He knew who had done all this. Alex. “He did it," Zephyr muttered to himself with a satisfied smile. Right then, a man stepped out of the car and it was none other than Alex. A very confident and slightly arrogant smirk was plastered across his face as he stepped forward.

    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
