“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

  • A Mistress' Affair    83

    Nirvana woke up to silent humming and dim light, without looking out of the window or checking the time, she instinctively knew that it was sometime after midnight. Maybe a little bit past one? She usually woke up at least once after she went to sleep, sometimes it was because of thirst, other times, it was to relieve and there were rare times like now that she had no particular reason for waking up. It wouldn’t be long before she fell asleep again though. Nirvana buried her face in the bed and inhaled deeply at the nice scent wafting from it, but then she paused because it was nothing like hers. She buried her nose further and took another whiff to confirm that it wasn’t her nose playing tricks on her. She opened her eyes in alert after confirming this, but what she saw almost made a gasp fly out her lips. She managed to stop it because something told her that Severin would definitely wake up. He was sleeping right next to her and his face was close to hers, even if it wasn’t to

    “Ah!” Nirvana sighed and relaxed entirely against the chair, staring at the stars with a gentle faraway look in her eyes. The meat had been dealt with and the only thing that remained was the beer that she continued sipping at irregular intervals, sometimes she sipped it as if she wanted to quickly finish it and get rid of it, other times it was like she forgot that she was even holding a can of beer. “Are you sure you should continue drinking? You are already drunk and would be going to work tomorrow,” Severin asked. He was sitting next—very close—to her and he didn’t seem to focus his gaze on anything in particular. He had finally listened to Nirvana and took a can of beer and that was the only thing he had been sipping since, it was like there was something stopping him from finishing it. Nirvana waved off his concern. “That doesn’t matter, I am not drunk and if I have a hangover tomorrow, my future self will deal with it.” “That is an utterly irresponsible thing to say.” He co

    Nirvana soon found herself ringing the doorbell with the promised drinks in the grocery bags she bought with her to his penthouse, Nirvana pushed the door when she heard a mechanical beep which meant he had opened from the inside. Nirvana dropped her slippers by the door after arranging it neatly and walked deeper into his place which was as still as ever. Severin emerged from the balcony in soft, lived-in black joggers, grey long-sleeve henley slightly pushed up. It wasn’t hard to imagine that he had already started getting the things he needed for the two-man party to the balcony. “Did you start cooking without me?” Nirvana asked, heading to the balcony while he passed her to get something from the kitchen. “No, I didn’t. Even though it is not like you would help me with the cooking if you were there,” he replied from inside. Nirvana had already passed through the slide door and entered the balcony, the night air smacking her straight on the face and her hair would have been t

    Nirvana checked the time, it was a bit past nine and it was the ideal time to start making her way back home. She had agreed to get to Severin’s place by ten in order to have that barbecue party, she had readily exclaimed that she would bring drinks along but she had no drinks at home which meant that she would have to stop by a grocery store. To get the drink, and many other foodstuffs she might need later. Who knew when Severin might decide that he wanted to cook for her again? She wanted to have materials for new food ready. “Is there something new that you are particularly happy about or seeing me bring you so much joy that you can’t help the grin?” Nirvana heard a voice which made her stop and wipe the smile she didn’t know she was spotting off her lips. Merely seeing Derek always left her with a bad taste in her mouth, and it didn’t look like he was here to check out the company he was supposed to be working in, so Nirvana guessed that she would be forced to have a conversati

    “Nice to meet you all, I am Morgan Collin.” The red-haired standing beside Austin said with a bright smile. Her smile was genuine, innocent and as carefree as Kaitlyn remembered it to be. It had been thirteen years since Kaitlyn had last heard from her and there was still that spring to her words that brought refreshing liveliness to the room. “Take a seat, Morgan.” Austin said, directing Morgan to the seat that Calvin had stood up from in order to make sure his brother wasn’t too far from his guest. “Nice to meet you too, Ms. Collin. I heard you were overseas for an important project, is it done now?” Calvin asked as soon as Morgan settled comfortably on the chair. “Ah… yes. It is finally done, I thought I wouldn’t ever finish it to be honest but I am glad that I have wrapped it up nicely.” Morgan's smile was still hanging on her lips and didn’t look like it would be dropping anytime soon. “But how do you know about it?” “Austin talks about you a lot, even before he came back hom

    Kaitlyn folded her hand across her chest as she stared down at Austin from the top of the stairs that she was. The dinner was just beneath and her view wasn’t obstructed by the many chandeliers but none of those who were downstairs would see her even if they looked up. Calvin who was talking with Austin was called over by Mrs. Jules, it seemed that there was something the woman needed to tell him. “What are you doing staring at everyone from up here? Shouldn’t you hurry downstairs and perform some wifely duties? You might want to alleviate everyone by proving your worth,” Kaitlyn heard behind her and her lips involuntarily curled down in distaste. She turned to face Derek who was in more casual wear, he seemed to be getting ready for a late night clubbing. “Should you demonstrate your own words and start by performing some son duties? I can imagine that your parents think almost nothing as of the moment,” Kaitlyn bit back and a scoff fell from Derek’s lips, his brows furrowing in
