All Chapters of A Mistress' Affair : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

There were so many things that could go wrong with her attendance to the Jules Patriarch birthday ceremony, the shimmer of elegance on the surfaces of the mansion’s hall hid a thick layer of so many disparity under it and it could be seen through the lenses of the guest’s eyes.Guests—whose only qualification were their elite blood and positions—preyed on themselves as a form of pastime, and had more than minimum bad comments about her. Kaitlyn and Derek whose house was the location of the party were also attending this party. Mrs. Jules couldn’t be absent at the celebration of her husband and Nicholas, of course, because he was one of the celebrant's children.And yet here she was, at the heart of the hall where a lot of things could go wrong because of the accursed list of people present. But it wasn’t like there were no good sides. She hadn’t seen any of these people she mentioned for starters, and the presence of Rebecca— Derek’s grandmother— who was making her way towards Nirvan

The whispers and murmurs were suffocating. The fingers pointed at her felt like spikes that were designed to pierce her skin and every obviously hidden sneer felt like a snake crawling over her skin, it felt like snakes were all over her and making her uncomfortable.Kaitlyn had always worn exquisite dresses to various functions but tonight was the only night since she started playing for the crowd that she felt prickly in her chosen outfit for the evening.The bright and elegant hall was filled to the brim with dark and crass people who didn’t even bother to lower their voice when they talked about her. The set of ladies who usually flocked over to her as soon as she arrived at any function maintained their distance and refused to meet her eyes, it was as if they were total strangers who were meeting for the first time today at Mr. Jules’ birthday. The rare ones who squeezed a smile in her direction offered nothing but a tight and shallow smile before quickly looking away as if they

Nothing could describe how absolutely livid Nirvana was. She hadn’t known Ria for a long time but the woman she knew was a gentle soul who didn’t deserve to be looked down upon by the likes of trashiest people like these brothers.Nirvana had taken another step when her hand was gripped tightly and the pressure forced her to halt her movement and direct her glare at the person who dared to stop her.“I don’t think that is a good idea,” Severin said, staring straight at her and Nirvana raised a brow at him in fury. Her eyes turned red and her gaze sharpened fiercely as she heard both Nicholas and Derek continue to mouth off without a care in the world.Severin’s gaze dropped to the necklace on her neck and he flinched hard for a moment before he froze and just held her in place.“What do you think you are doing?” Nirvana said through clenched jaws, this snapped him out of his reverie but he didn’t give her a reply before he dragged her away from the hall and into one of the empty rooms

The day was bright when Nirvana woke up and there was a trademark signature of good weather, but Nirvana hardly felt any good today. It was a weekend and Nirvana hadn’t entirely gotten over the whole fiasco that happened at the party. Her mind still reeled whenever she thought about it and it caused a mini headache for her. It was like having a hangover but without drinking, even her hair looked extremely haggard and her face was drawn, but Nirvana just continued to stare at her reflection in the mirror without bothering to fix it. It would fix itself when she stepped into the shower. How lucky was she that both birthday parties she attended left her extremely unsettled. “Ah…I really have to apologize to him,” Nirvana muttered to herself as she came out of the bathroom, one towel wrapped around her with another towel on her head because she couldn’t remember where she left her hair dryer and couldn’t be bothered to search for it. “But how do I do that?” She opened her closet and s

“So, are you going to just sit there for the rest of the evening? I thought you came here to do something,” Severin said, and Nirvana posture slumped against the counter. “I know,” Nirvana replied, her shoulder drooping as her eyes remained fixed on the counter. “I am really sorry for the way I behaved yesterday at the party, even though I thought you were wrong at that time, it wasn’t enough ground for me to mouth off the way I did.” She looked up into his eyes. “It was just like the feelings inside me were all consuming and the way both of them talked about Ria reminded me of some things that happened to me in the past that I don’t want to remember. It wasn’t like a lid was removed from a lot of repressed feeling so much that I forgot about everything else and ignored how obvious the taunt was.” Nirvana blinked furiously as she twiddled her fingers under the counter in order to avoid bringing it to her lips and biting it. “And I am not trying to make excuses for what I have done
