Chapter 72: diversion

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.

Chapter 73

“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

Chapter 74

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

Chapter 76

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.

Chapter 77

“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

Chapter 78

“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 f

Chapter 79

The screeching of the door followed as Nova walked in, looking quite perplexed. Her eyebrows furrowed deeply as she glared at Eryx, in towards bewilderment of her environment. “What is going on? You were yelling loudly on the phone. Who was that?” She inquired, her tone laced with utter urgency. Her eyes immediately caught Eryx's broken phone, which lay on the floor. She then took a glance at Eryx. His furious eyes glared right at the shattered phone on the ground. Nice quickly took reseeding steps, creating a distance between Eryx and herself. She gasped in shock as her mouth was left open, yet no words could come out. Eryx, noticing Nova's presence, quickly forced a smile on his face, rubbing his hair lightly as he turned to her. He cleared his throat, locking his gaze onto Nova. “It's nothing. I'm fine,” he assured, patting her shoulder softly as he attempted to leave the room. Nova quickly grabbed his hand, forcing him to turn towards her again. Eryx glared furiously, ev

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

Chapter 81

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
