The night had turned very dark when Nirvana was finally done with her work. Her teammates had said their goodbyes to her earlier, very used to Nirvana staying back after everyone left to deal with one work of the other.

Nirvana had made it perfectly clear to them when they first started working together as a team that they were free to leave when it was time to clock out except the days that she decided to make an exception.

She made her way down to the lobby through the elevator and she had hardly stepped out when she bumped into Kaitlyn who was marching towards her in the elevator in furious anger. Nirvana had to force every single muscle on her face not to smirk at her in mockery.

Kaitlyn’s frustrated expression always made her day.

The Kaitlyn Nirvana knew was one who was used to getting everything she wanted without breaking a sweat. She never had a challenge; she just wanted it and got it.

It was at moments like this that reminded Nirvana that Kaitlyn was only human too, not the

    “You aren’t thinking of targeting Nirvana, are you?” Kaitlyn heard behind her as soon as she got out of her room. She turned to see Derek standing in front of what would have been Nirvana’s room if the woman hadn’t packed up and left. “And why you asking me that? This kind of situation requires people like you to stand by,” Kaitlyn replied, folding her hand as she stared at the man who was glaring down at her. “Why do you think I am? I am sure you can do the—” “I didn’t know that you had this much time to waste on your ex, you might as well start a lucrative business while you are at it. Who know? You might suddenly sprout an empire that puts even Moore group to shame,” “I heard you have been rallying allies to go against Nirvana with you. I—” “You have been keeping tabs on me?” Kaitlyn narrowed her eyes on Derek who only folded his hand on his chest and cocked a brow at her. “Just like you have been keeping tabs on me—” Derek replied. “This is about how you went to plead with

    The car ride was quiet. Nirvana sat beside Sevrin, the space between them thinner than before, not touching, but filled with a silence where she no longer feared or thought she needed to fill it. Outside, the city blurred past in streaks of orange and violet and Nirvana’s fingers toyed with her high-waist jeans, and he noticed. “You are still shaking,” He said, his attention focused on the road. “I’m fine.” “You’re not.” He didn’t press her further, just turned the wheel sharply down an unfamiliar road and it was then she noticed that they weren’t going home. The view started changing to fog veiled hills the more he drove, the sound of tires swallowing wet gravel and the occasional sigh of sea air through cracked windows. “Where are we—?” “You’ll see.” When they pulled up, it wasn’t to another building glowing with life but to a gate ruin cloaked in ivy. He reached behind his seat and pulled out a brass key that was ancient-looking and unlike any she’d seen. Nirvana raised

    Nirvana felt as though she stepped into another world as soon as she stepped through the door when Severin was inside while staying right behind her. The door clicked shut behind them and the silence that followed was pristine—only their footsteps echoed faintly as their heels clicked against the marble floor beneath. Nirvana’s eyes couldn’t help but stop on whichever art the golden spotlight halted on in the dim, soft gallery, she stared ahead but was only met with empty halls and still art. No guards, no footsteps, just perfect silence. Severin had rented out the entire museum. Nirvana looked behind but only shadow stretched behind, she flinched when Severin was nowhere to be seen. “Severin?” She called but it came out as a question, as if she doubted his existence there at all. Severin emerged from the shadows near a bronze sculpture, hands tucked in his black coat pockets, his posture was clean and controlled like he’d stepped out of a gallery himself and what Leah said about

    “And somehow, you managed to get along so well with Severin Moore that you ended up staying over in his place countless times?” Leah asked with wide eyes, bringing her face closer to the camera as if she was hoping to get close and personal with Nirvana through the phone. “What the hell happened to Severin Moore is a perfect prick?” “It wasn’t countless times, only twice and both were situational,” Nirvana defended herself. “The first one was that rainy night that I locked myself out of my place, the last bus had stopped running, my other car keys were locked in too, the car I took to work broke down. Severin only came to my aid. And last night was because I got drunk and refused to go back to my place, you of all people know how I get when I am drunk.” “And it was when he was drunk that he took advantage of you and asked you out on a date? Should you seriously be attending a date like that? You are supposed to refuse it in the morning when he reminded you about it. A man like that

    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
