He ran after her and with every step she took, he felt she was slipping away from him. He couldn't live like this anymore so he was compelled to speak.

“Wait, please. His voice came out as a cry. Do you think I treated you the way I did because I wanted to?” There was a mix of bitterness and emptiness in his voice. Something that made her want to stay and hear his reasons because this time it felt like he was ready.

“I…I am sick Willow, he took up to a minute to successfully say those words. Kevin took in a deep breath before sitting on the passage floor while Willow came closer to hear him out. I was born a sick child. I was always alone and spent most of my time in the hospital away from my family. I mean who would want to be with someone with mental issues”. He chuckled in pity.

Willow’s eyes widened and she felt her legs wobble. “Mental issues?” She whispered unbelievably. Was he struggling with his mental health? She asked herself.

    Damon immediately let go of Willow. How could he not? Only if he wanted his head off before the next day. “Uh…uh Kevin I was just playing with willow here”. He tried to defend himself with shaky hands.“Get out”. He simply said not even stressing his words. And Damon flew away like a scared cat.“Willow?” He called out her name like a question.“Than..thank you sir”. Willow said before scurrying away. She was shy of the handsome man who saved her but at the same time the Colour of his eyes lingered in her memories.Kevin would have sworn a minute ago that she was hazel. The girl whose life he cut short. What was he even thinking he killed her with his own hands?Day came, and several nights flew by. Even though Willow wasn't hazel, Kevin found himself moving close to her. He found her voice suiting and her smile brightened his soul. He will find himself eager to meet with her where they read together.“Kevin, I like you”. Willow was the first to confess her feelings. His heart flutter

    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

    Nova stood up from her seat and faced Zephyr. He was dressed in his exceptional hand made suit that usually made him stand out. Navy blue plain jackets and pants that match perfectly with his dark eyes.“I will be heading to work and the nanny already took Xavier to school”. He said it curtly and he felt the need to explain since she woke up quite late.Nova took in her laughter. Of course she knew her son was in school already, if not she wouldn't have been as calm as she was.She nodded her head coldly and returned to sip her coffee.“Good”. He said even though she didn't respond. She may not love him but at least he was with her and that was enough for now.He made his way and was almost at the door when she called him.“Zephyr, I need you to sign some papers. Xavier was asked to fill in something at school and all we need now is your signature”. She said without flinching.“Let's just wait till I get back”. He said and started to walk away.“No wait”. Her voice echoed without her

    Only seconds passed but to Nova it looked like years. She took slow deliberate steps as she approached Eryx’s house. She held the papers in her hands as doubt spiraled around her.Was she doing the right thing? She had asked herself several times. She pushed the impulsive thought to one side as she opened the heavy metallic door.As soon as she entered she was stopped by Eryx's voice. “What are you doing here Nova, I told you I wouldn't see you until you fulfill your part of the plan”.He somehow felt that she wasn't going to go through with it and even if she did, he would have to pull some more strings.“Here”. She handed him the papers without an expression on her delicate face.A sharp gasp escaped his lips, followed by a slow, disbelieving grin that spread wider than ever before. His eyes darted between the prize in his hands and the devastation left in his wake, sparkling with a manic blend of triumph and disbelief. For a moment, he stood frozen, as though his mind struggled to

    “You fucking disgusts me Zephyr. Even at times like this you are still speaking bad of him. He didn't deserve any of the brutal things you did to him”. You could see anger and regret in her eyes at the same time.“Brutal”? Zephyr could not help but scoff. “You see that's the problem Nova, you have always been blind simply because he portrayed himself better”. His deep voice vibrated with the molecules of the atmosphere.“What you forget is that sometimes the devil you know is better than the angel you don't know. The alcohol in his system has started to wear off. You judge according to what you see. What about what you don't know?” He lowered his voice but ensured it was loud enough.“ENOUGH”! She yelled at him. “You are the problem, Zeph and Eryx would forever be an angel to me. The angel who saved me, built my career and helped raise my son”.“No nova. I fucked up years ago but he isn't near an angel. Instead he is something intricate and complex”. He tried to make gestures with his

    Her mouth opened, but only a choked whisper escaped, her voice breaking, "How could you?"And in that instant, the world seemed to crumble beneath her feet. Every ounce of doubt from a moment ago was replaced by an unbearable wave of guilt and shame. Her expression was a mirror reflecting the destruction wrought on something you never intended to shatter.“No no. It's not what you think Nova”. His voice was filled with manipulation as he ran towards her and at the same time struggled to put on his pants.Jane didn't even bother to cover up. To her it was an opportunity for Nova to know who eryx was and she wasn't going to waste this opportunity. So she was just going to watch.“She is a nobody flower. I only used her to while away time”.“Don't you dare say that to me eryx. What I want to know is why you called her Nova”. She barked with dangerous emotions in her eyes.Eryx took a deep breath as realization fell on him. She caught him already so he couldn't hide anything.“Don't you s

    “Just answer me, Eryx. Everything you did for me was just so you could keep me away from him right?”.Eryx couldn't look into her eyes. His hands were vibrating and he felt as though something heavy had been placed upon his chest. When triumph changed Into something else.“You don't have to believe anything he says Nova”. “You know how he is, you know he would do anything to keep us apart and apart”. His eyes darted from her hands to her face.Nova nodded her head in disbelief. “Then why did you want power, why do you feel insecure about me. Why do I feel like you are lying?” She yelled for the upteen time.“Umm.. Eryx I think I will come some other time”. Jane has gotten tired of the endless arguments. She had worn her clothes and walked away not without walking close to Nova “He fucks so well. She hissed before leaving immediately”, not giving Eryx the chance to hear her.Nova ought to feel pain, jealousy and betrayal. However she just felt numb. It was a feeling that wasn't new to

    “No Eryx. You deceived me for years. You made me believe Zephyr hated me, you made me destroy him”. A tremor flickered at the corners of her mouth, pulling it downward, and her jaw tightened.“You know how much I loved zephyr. He saved me from my misery, loved and married me without even caring about my background. Do you know how I ..I felt when I thought he abandoned me because of Tiana”. She stuttered and tears gathered around the corners of her fragile eyes.“I don't regret what I did and I will do.it again if I have to”. “And you can't blame me, Nova”. He laughed bitterly, shaking his head. "When we were kids, it was little things like my toys, my books,my father's love,my spot at the dinner table. I’d find my favorite things broken or gone, and he’d just smirk like it was some game." His voice cracked, and he took a steadying breath.“I didn't really care if my mother paid no attention to me. But tell me why I would love that man so much but yet he hated me”. He added."It didn

    “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
