Chapter 86

• Nikolai
• After walking around for a while, my instincts tell me to check the garden and lo and behold, I find him sitting on a bench, and he looks like he is trying to catch his breath. "Adrian," I call in panic as I run towards his direction. He snaps his head up the moment he hears my voice as he stands to his feet and yells. "Stay back, don't come close!!"
• I pause in my tracks, quite taken aback by the toxicity in his voice as he takes a step away from me.
