Mr billionaire's regret: chasing after my ex-wife isn't easy のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

Nova had left him. She was wheeled into the operation room and it was one of the hardest seconds of his entire life. He had to leave the woman he loved in the hands of the doctor for an operation that could end all she knew her life to be. She could lose her memory. Memories of everything she'd worked for. Memories of them. Memories of their love. Memories of their child. It was hours and Zephyr couldn't stay still. The cold hospital corridor did nothing to settle Zephyr’s nerves. The air was filled with the smell of antiseptic, and the fluorescent lights were a little harsh. He paced back and forth, gripping Nova’s diary in his hands. It wasn't much but it was pretty much all he had left of her memories. The leather cover was worn from years of use, the edges slightly curled, as if it had been opened and read a thousand times before. Inside, her handwriting danced across the pages, memories of their time together, thoughts of their son, Xavier, and wishes for the future she f

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.

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

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

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
