[Erin]It was already nighttime, and we were still inside this city dome. How do I know what time it is? Well, I happened to catch a peek of Nikolai's wristwatch, which indicated that it was past eight o'clock in the evening. The day flew by so rapidly, and one of the things that occurred to me was that this was simply too much—all of the turbulence of emotions felt like a roller coaster ride, and my brain could hardly keep up with it all. I felt like I was drowning in a sea of chaos.I kept my distance close to the two gigantic men as we walked down the cobbled pavement. Ultimately have no idea where we’ll be going next. Hope it's not the fighting pit arena, since that would be terrible. Even the concept of it conjures up images of blood and violence in my mind. All of those things have already happened to me today, and I've already been emotionally scarred enough.The other masters and their pets threw off glances on my way, and even s

[Erin]It was the very first time I saw Nikolai had ever been stunned since the time I had known him. He wasn't the type of man who was immediately fazed by something or who was ever taken completely by surprise by anything in his life. Normally, he maintained his composure and his stare was usually calculated. However, right now, his eyes were wide and his mouth was slightly gaping open.“I…um—maybe, I…needed something to eat?” I meekly contemplated, stuttering even to complete the sentence. My face burned hotter every passing second, and I even bet it was redder than tomatoes as his gaze pierced my face. My mouth suddenly felt dry, and I was like a fish out in the water, trying to speak, but words failed to come out.Suddenly, Nikolai exhaled forcefully, bursting out of his astonished trance, and for a brief time, amusement crossed his features, and the corner of his mouth looped upwards as though he were struggling to keep hi

[Erin]I could no longer move, nor could I breathe properly.This durian fruit is the best fruit I've ever had in my entire life. Although the smell is a little overpowering, it had no effect on the creamy, sweet, custard-like flavor. Overall, the cuisine is far superior to what I had anticipated, and I am completely satisfied with my meal.“Have I already told you that you eat like a cow?” Akim remarked on my side, looking at me with such an unbelievably long stare as he took a quick gander at my empty plates. Yes, I did told them I could not finish the whole plater, but I had grossly miscalculated the power of my appetite, that I, even to myself, was surprised.And, yes, I did finish everything served before me, but of course, with Akim’s meager assistance—very little, I should say.But I'm not going to admit that.“Hey, don't put the entire blame on me. You also had your part.” I jested, putting back the dirty plates on the table cart and pu

[Erin]What should I do? What the hell should I do?This thing…if Nikolai sees me holding this thing, he will falsely accuse me of stealing it. He's erratic, he takes things into his own hands on the spur of the moment, and sure is he will think that I stole this from him. But on the second thought, why would he put something this precious inside the pocket of his coat as though he had only acquired it from a thrift store? I was under the impression that he had stashed it away inside some highly secured titanium case that only his biometrics could open. Not like this. Tucked so carelessly as though it does not possess any high value.Hell, it even has a higher value than myself. “Oh, God. What should I do?” I jump out of my bed, struggling to unfasten the straps on my heels and kicking them off. I pace back and forth, wracking up my nerves as I stare at this shiny little thing—well it’s not really tiny cause it's almost big as my thumb, but hell, this cost a fortune. Now that I hav

[Erin]“Oh my goodness, Erin!” Micah’s shrilly voice pierces my ears faster than the light blinding my soon as I stirred awake. “Why didn't you change your clothes last night?” She chided, pointing out the dress that I still wore, clinging to my body for dear life while I am still curled in the middle of my bed.I, begrudgingly peeled my eyes open, blinking the sting away, however it was before long followed by a beating torment in my head. “Uh, Micah, you know that I love you, but please my head is killing me,” I groaned, pressing my palm heel on my temple in hopes to assuage the twinge, but it was little to no avail.“Were you drunk?” She queried, taking Nikolai’s coat off from the carpet that I had deserted the previous evening before I crept to bed. I was exhausted from yesterday’s extravaganza, I know I kind of little bad for leaving simple things for Micah to do it for me, but I wasn’t myself. All I wanted to do was melt away in this world. I shake my head to get rid of all
