All Chapters of A Mistress' Affair : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Nirvana stood at the edge of the easel like an intruder, her eyes fleeting over the room without a second to pause as if she wasn’t quite sure where to really look and decided to take everything in at once. Severin didn’t invite her in, he just went to sit on the stool placed in front of a half-painted canvas. Nirvana couldn’t see what kind of painting was underway from where she stood, her eyes could only focus on the jars of paints of different colors. The cans were placed with accurate precision and there wasn’t too much of a mess, but Nirvana expected as much. Severin had told her that he was painting when Nirvana interrupted him, yet there wasn’t any clue to prove that fact on his body, not even when he told Nirvana and she actively searched for any clue she might have missed. There was a single wall in the room dedicated to painting he did himself. Strange, abstract, still, cold, emotionally turbulent works, but most of them were unlabeled. “Did you do all these paintings by

Nirvana wasn’t very confident that she could go through three consecutive nights while fully aware of uninvited presence that was always there in her most vulnerable state even after she had sought out a temporary solution that might not work. Taking a break at Severin’s place was more ideal, it was even better because Severin’s presence was one that she trusted. There were many positive things about it, but there were also many other things that Nirvana couldn’t help thinking about. It wasn’t the first night she had spent with Severin, considering she had once commanded him to watch over her till she slept one time, but this time was a bit different. Nirvana wasn’t high on sugar or tired, and it was Severin’s place not hers. She caught herself twiddling her finger as soon as she stepped into the penthouse after Severin but she immediately lost the act, wondering why on earth she was very nervous and scolding herself for it while not calming her nerves in the slightest. By the tim

—My radar is telling me that you are somewhere near— Nirvana texted. —What is that even supposed to mean?— Severin replied. —It means that you must be somewhere not too far from where I am—Nirvana replied. —I am not sure I know a suitable response to that— —So? Am I right or wrong?— —If you are going to continue looking like a weirdo in the middle of the road, you might as well enter that café and hid behind me— Nirvana gasped and looked up from her phone, staring ahead at Severin who still had his attention on his laptop. Nirvana was standing close to the sidewalk, watching as high school students passed by, it was school’s closing time. Nirvana had left work to take a very deserved break at the café when she saw Severin there and decided to play a prank. It was what she usually did to Boris and Leah, and no matter how many times she did it, they didn’t find out that she was actually somewhere near. She should have known that it wouldn’t work on Severin. As expected of him.

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

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
