Chapter 263: Do She Have A Heart?
Nicklaus stayed alone in his office, drowning his longing for Arissa in a bottle of alcoholic wine as he reflected over the city.
The feeling in the air roared great loneliness and sadness. His heart bleeds and the whole objects in the office mourned with him even if they were not humans - that was how great his sadness was.
He licked his upper lips, looked up at his ceiling, and back at the window with great effort not to let his expression and emotions break down just as his heart did.
He thought she was different. He expected her to be different but never did he expect she would crumble him this badly and was only waiting for the right time.
He swirled his wine glass and filled it to the brim again. He brought the glass to his lips, took in a full gulp, and crossed his right leg over the other as he relaxed on his seat.
His phone vibrated on the small table beside him. He fixed his piercing eyes on the phone as if he would blow it up if it keeps on disturbing his peace.
As if his hard glare worked magic and was understood by the phone, the vibration stopped after three seconds.
Nicklaus took his eyes off his phone and faced the window again. However, the moment he did that, the phone began to vibrate again.
With great anger, he flipped the phone over. The moment he turned the phone over, his anger increased when he saw it was Arissa calling.
