It's been two weeks since Kevin visited Nova about the custody case of her child, but Zephyr just wouldn't give up, he was determined to make her life a living hell.Nova was lost in thoughts, her chin resting lightly in her palm, her fingers absentmindedly brushing a loose strand of hair away from her face.The world outside her thoughts moves in a blur, pedestrians rushing by, but she doesn’t notice. Her eyes are fixed on nothing in particular, a storm of thoughts swirling behind them. The coffee in front of her has long since gone cold, untouched, its delicate steam a thing of the past.She couldn't help but think of Eryx and how he cried in her arms after hearing the disastrous charges Zephyr made against him.“I swear, I am innocent, flower”. His voice resonated in his ears. She would always believe Eryx regardless of what because he was a good person. That was what she believed.Her heart believed that Eryx was a good person and every other person was against her.“Nova, Nova”.
Today was a dangerous day. The day that dictated whether Nova would be with her son or not. The only thing was that the decision had already been made.Nova was outside the courthouse. She buried her face in her hands, her breaths coming in short, shallow gasps that sounded like they might choke her. When she looked up, her expression was one of raw, unfiltered devastation: a mixture of disbelief, anger, and unbearable sorrow. Her lips parted slightly, whispering something inaudible, a plea to no one in particular. The world around her seemed to shrink, leaving her isolated in a void of despair, her son's absence already a gaping hole in her heart.She could remember the judge making his judgment.“Due to your connection to Eric as his girlfriend and the fact that he is an abuser. We would be giving full custody to Eric Lockwood. And he will be paying a fine of $20,000”.“Objection, your honour.” Her lawyer, whom she had begged for help, interjected. She had called her immediately aft
As soon as she yelled those words. Eryx couldn't describe the tingling sensation he felt in his heart.Eryx stared at Nova, his eyebrows knitting together in a mix of confusion and shock. “You’re kidding, right?” he asked, his voice low, almost a whisper. When she didn’t immediately reply, his gaze flicked to her hands, searching for some tell a twitch, a crack in her composure, but she stood firm, her arms crossed defensively.“Nova,” he said, his tone sharper now, "you’re seriously telling me you are in love with zephyr even after all he did to you” he breathed out a breath of disbelief.This is the best thing she could do to protect Eryx. She knew she had to protect Eryx from his brother. Eryx wouldn't stop except she does this to keep him away.“LOOK ME IN THE EYE NOVA”. He yelled with gritted teeth and the veins in his neck popped out, matching with the anger his eyes radiated.“My woman has spoken. She doesn't have to tell you any other things”. Zephyr walked forward after he ha
Nova kept quiet throughout the drive to Zephyr's home. It's Crazy enough that she just signed the papers, but one of his rules was that she would start living with him and their child.“Are you okay there buddy”. She heard his deep voice echo in the background. He was checking on Xavier.She couldn't help but think that her life was going nowhere. Because how did she even get here? She thought of everything that had happened to her, and she couldn't help but shed tears.Soon they got home. And they entered the mansion. “Wow”. Xavier was mesmerized by the building. He had never seen anything like this, and it made him excited. “It’s so big! And the lights they’re so shiny!” His small hands skimmed the smooth walls, his fingers brushing the velvet curtains and gleaming doorknobs as if he couldn’t believe they were real. “Is this really ours? Is this where we’re going to live?” he asked, his voice trembling with a mix of disbelief and joy. Each word seemed to bounce like a rubber ball,
“No I haven't”. Eryx replied back as he breathed hard.“Then why do you seem distracted these days? The voice echoed, and he could just tell that she had a creased forehead. You know I need you, this has to work. I can't survive any other way”.“If you flop these you won't find it funny”. The voice warned sternly.Eryx sipped the air hard. Those words were definitely getting to him.“I understand okay, you don't have to remind me. I know exactly what I am doing and when I need you. I am going to call you”.“Better. She clicked her tongue. And you better send me the money to take care of her”. She told him, referring to someone they both knew about.“And for myself too”. Her harsh voice was now less tense.“Stop being a pussy and get to work. Your wish is to attain power against your brother right?”.“If you want that, as well as Nova, you know exactly when to call me. We have the Trump card and that would make him crippled”. When she says crippled she meant mentally, emotionally, fina
Eryx knew this wasn't the solution to his problems, but this was what he needed. A mind-blowing sex with someone he wasn't attached to, so he could get his mind off Nova and zephyr.His eyes scanned Jane like a predator surveying its prey. His gaze lingered, dark and heavy, locking onto her with a spark that burned, not with warmth, but with hunger. His pupils were dilated, a telltale sign of his singular focus, and the faint curl of his lips hinted at a confidence that bordered on arrogance.He leaned towards her his body angled toward her in a way that was deliberate, almost calculated. His shoulders rolled back, showcasing his broad frame, while his fingers toyed with the rim of his glass, a slow, rhythmic motion that seemed designed to draw attention. Every movement he made was intentional, his steps measured.He placed his hands on her waist. His hands covered her waist completely because they were slim enough for his hands to go round it. Jane took in a gasp of air. She hated th
In Zephyr's mansion sat Mrs. Lockwood. As soon as she heard that Zephyr had remarried Nova, she ran to the airport for the next flight to New York.As soon as she got to his home, she started ranting to the butler.“You know, Williams, I never knew exactly what he saw in this girl. At first, I thought he was over her when Tiana came into his life. She paused as if regretting that she mentioned that name. But Tiana turned out to be something else”. She said it out loud as if it weren't her fault Zephyr ended up with her.Williams just stood there as he panicked. He didn't know which side to pick. If he defended young madam nova, Mrs. Lockwood would probably cut his head off. If he then decided to support Mrs. Lockwood, then he would be a bad person.“She was a stripper, Williams. A stripper”. She continued, and she said the words loudly and then silently in a dramatic manner. Nova was just like four feet away from where she was seated, and she could hear everything.“And now she is an
Zephyr was oddly calm as he stepped into the mansion. His appearance exuded command and power. You will just know that he is capable of handling his problems.“I don't know what has gotten into you Zephyr, but this girl can't be your wife”. His mother started speaking as soon as she saw him, and before he could even say anything else.“We are already married, mum”. He replied without looking at his mother. His gaze was on nova, he wanted to know if she was fine.“Are you okay?” he finally asked.“What do you think?” She used her hands to rub her arms as if she were in some kind of discomfort.“How could you do this, zephyr? You get married to her without informing me. Do you know what the media is saying? This is affecting the company and our status in the society”. She breathed in and continued.“It's okay for your brother to misbehave, but it's not okay for you to”….“IT'S NOT OKAY FOR ME TO WHAT, MOM?” He raked a hand through his hair, pulling slightly.“Fuck society and fuck what t
Outline 3So what is your plan now? She asked him after he had finished speaking.You are going to stay here Willow, you can't go out, you can't try to run away, neither can you act smart, No cell phone. He spoke with a stoic face. He was damn serious, he had no plans at all but he hoped time moved he would know what to do.You are joking right, what do you think this is?Some movie or what. I can't stay here Kevin, I am getting married and I need to do it fast since you destroyed the last one…..She couldn't even continue as Kevin threw something in anger. But not at her, You are not getting married Nova over my dead body. He said, I would rather burn in the pit of hell than let you get married to someone else. After saying that he made his way upstairs leaving her there. He didn't want to continue to hear whatever she was saying because it only made him look like a bad person. As he walked he thought how disastrous the feeling of letting her get married to Alex could be.It could hav

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

“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
