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.

    “Please ma, we're very sorry,” they pleaded with their knees to the ground and their voices in harmony. But Nova didn't seem like she was ready to change her mind. She was totally shut and paid no attention to them. They were unfortunate to get caught gossiping about Nova. Noca was seriously pissed and decided to make them pay. She had gone cold, and their pleas were resting on deaf ears. “Gossips, huh. That's what you two do in this firm. Instead of working, you make use of your time gossiping,” Nova highlighted, angrily staring at the both of them. “No, ma. We are very sorry. This won't repeat itself again, ma,” they kept pleading as they swept the floor with their dresses. Nova ignored them and went cold as she searched her bag, seriously looking for her office card, which she would use to open the door to her office. “Is she paying attention to us?” One of them whispered discreetly. “Of course I am. But your pleas mean nothing to me. You both are fired anyway. I guess this

    Nova wore a soft smile as she watched Jane take a seat. She was clearly happy to see her, and so was Jane. Their smiles beaming with every excitement that came with it. “You look gorgeous anyway,” Jane complimented Nova, forcing her to blush lightly. “Thanks, darling. You've made my day. Compared to that sick psycho that just left my office,” Nova sighed, furiously glaring at the door. “Tell me about it,” Jane smiled softly, giving Nova a soft nudge on her shoulder. “You won't believe it. She came into my office this morning, neglecting what she actually came here for. Just to lecture me about my character,” Jane let out a rather sarcastic laughter. “What does she know about character development? She sucks at relationships with people,” Jane mocked while trying her best not to laugh so hard. Nova snapped her finger in affirmation. “That's right. Do you see the way she speaks to clients? She's literally the rudest staff we have in this firm,” Nova chuckled. “You're right. I no

    Nova glared at Jane, a wave of shock surging through her spine. “What do you mean?” Nova asked, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Jane chuckled, laughing like she had just heard a joke. “You should have seen your face. You looked so pathetic,” Jane teased. Nova still looked confused, her expression looking very perplexed. “I don't understand.” “Easy Nova. I was just teasing. I am just trying to say that I want a man who will treat me the same way Eryx treats you. I want him sooner,” Jane said, seductively biting her lips as she winked at Nova. “You shouldn't be playing with something as sensitive as that,” Nova warned, her expression looking perplexed. “Relax, Nova. Nobody is taking your man from you. Not me anyway. Trust me,” Jane said, softly patting her on her shoulder. Nova was still disturbed about her reply, but she decided to allow the subject to die. There was no use of dwelling on it anyway. Nova and Jane finished up with their meal, and retired back to work. When

    Nova's face was very confused. Her amnesia wasn't helping at all. What do you mean “betray you like I did before?” Her brows sprang up demanding some explanations.Exyx ran his hands through his hair for the upteenth time. It was his plan to feed her with more lies. Because as far he was concerned she was never going to get her memories back.“Of course you can't remember Nova”. His eyes watered with pretentious years and his voice quivered like a child whose candy had been stolen.“Would you believe it if I had told you that you cheated on me with zephyr?” His voice sounded bitter.“What?” Nova couldn't believe she would do something like this to her fiance. How could she have done that? From her little time she spent with him after her amnesia she felt she could trust him. Her guts says so. But maybe she never heard of the saying “ your guts cannot be trusted”.“I.. I don't know what to say, I can't even remember”. She took a step towards him. But he stepped back.“It's okay flower.

    “You know no matter how Eryx actually tries, he can never be as good as you, zephyr. You have the Brains and everything. It's like a package you were born with”. Alex explained with hand gestures.“So…. How does this help me get back at him?” The impatience in his voice could not be ignored.“I am not done, zeph. If you can just keep quiet for a second, then maybe you would have heard what I actually want to say”. Alex said with clenched teeth. He doesn't really like the way Zephyr is behaving.Zephyr nodded. The only people who could actually speak to him this way were his close friends, his mother and his love Nova. Any other person would be immediately buried alive.Alex took a deep sigh before he continued to speak. “I recently found out that he has been struggling to put the business together. And he has gotten himself in some illegal contracts and embezzlement”.“Now he wants Nova to come into a serene neighborhood to promote the company. And that neighborhood happens to be the g

    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
