The only energy she could find was the one to glare at the couple standing at the side and greeting everyone and anyone. She couldn’t find it in herself to appreciate the expensive décor of the hall nor the blinding white light and rose.

Shame, those lilies would have been perfect.

“You definitely look the part of the ex-girlfriend now with the way you are glaring,” she heard beside her and turned to see Calvin standing there with a small smile on her face. A full blown grin spread on her own lips too.

It has been days since she saw him, he happened to be among the few people who knew how to bring her smile out of her, maybe it has to do with the connection they had till the end.

“It is not my fault that they made me sleep late because of their argument about how Derek wanted to come back to me, as if I would ever take that disgusting thing back. It was late in the night and it was full-blown fight, you can’t blame me for being all cranky and glaring the fuck out of them,” Nirvana rep

    “Caught the wedding-of-the-year headlines,” Nirvana heard a chirpy voice beside her and turned to see Laura, her assistant and colleague, walking beside her as she tried to get her card firmly around her neck. “There is a rumor that you wouldn’t be able to claim your crown this year too.”Nirvana knew that they were talking about the award she got yearly.When she started like any other normal employee, she threw everything she had into working for the company. Her hard work didn’t go to waste and she climbed the ranks very rapidly. One of her hallmarks was the yearly ticket she collected at the Jules Award Ceremony when it was due, along with the gift that came with it.Nirvana raised a brow at the woman. “Where did you hear that?”“Everyone is on it,” Laura dropped her voice conspiratorially. “They are excited by the prospect. They believe that everything was handed to you on a platter of gold.”Nirvana expected as much. She had her share of difficult seniors, jealous colleagues and

    “I wish I didn’t have to spend my Sunday wasting away at your place like this,” Leah grumbled, picking up a box from the truck with an exaggerated grunt, which made Nirvana roll her eyes at her.“Be a good girl and do your duties,” Nirvana said, grabbing a box of her own too before nodding at the driver. “Just take a look at Boris, good man has been working tirelessly since we got here and it is only because of him that we were able to tie things up this soon.”There was a serene expression on her face, the independence finally seeping through at last and the giddiness in her heart was all she needed to confirm that she didn’t make the wrong choice.“I don’t care about how we tie things up. I am more concerned about how tired I am. I have a gig tomorrow, I don’t want to appear there looking like a caveman,” Leah moved a bit away as the truck swerved away to the road, both of them turned and entered the building elevator.“Simply carrying a box isn’t going to suddenly make you look lik

    Both of them stared at each other silently, empty green eyes fixed on stormy blue ones. A car hooting in the distance at the same time Nirvana felt a silent skip in her heart; she blinked in confusion before she yanked her hand away from him.“Don’t touch me.” She snapped.“You were falling.” He still remained unbothered.“And you were waiting for an excuse.”He didn’t let go, if nothing, he tightened his grip on her as she stood straight. She gave him a meaningful glare but he pretended not to see it as he furrowed his brow at her and checked her appearance.To Nirvana’s shock and surprise, concern appeared fleetingly but lingered enough that Nirvana caught sight of it.“You are exhausted. You shouldn’t even be here.”She had thought him a robot, perfectly incapable of even the tiniest bit of emotion –but this development proved her wrong and left her unsure of a reply.His concern felt as real as it looked, even his tone was mildly filtered with warmth.“And that is why I am leaving

    Dead, deep, and as cold as his voice.It looked like it wasn’t capable of feeling anything, and the way it narrowed on Nirvana made her feel like the owner also didn’t want it to feel anything.“What the hell are you doing?” He asked, and that seemed to snap her out of her trance.She looked at him in confusion before she realized that she was now standing in what could be considered his personal space. She had unconsciously leaned closer when she was still trying to figure out where she knew his eyes from.There was silence around them since they were the only people standing in the hall. The golden light casted a glow on his hair and made the silky black shimmer, his pale lips were pulled into a thin line and his cold green eyes still remained pinned on her as she scrambled for words.“Uh…” He didn’t give her the chance to reply before he took a step back himself and glanced at her with a foreign look she wasn’t too confident she liked.“Weddings always bring the weirdest people tog

    Nirvana’s head was still spinning by the time she got back to the Jules Mansion. She still couldn’t shake her thoughts about the protector that came out of the blue and who—true to his words—might have been there for longer than she realized.But why now of all times?If he had been there and even knew about her accident, was there a probability that he was a variable that had been involved in her life before but she didn’t notice?She admitted her fault there, she hardly noticed anything.Not Leah’s Kindness, Boris’ Persistence, Derek’s manipulation and apparently, this person’s presence.“Took you long enough to come home,” she heard as soon as she entered through the door. Both Diana and Kingsley were both sitting in the living room, their attention solely focused on their phones. She cocked a brow in their direction.“Is there something you needed me for?” she asked, taking a beeline to the kitchen to get a glass of water. The tipsiness which had mostly disappeared still needed to
