"Can't sleep?" Nikolai inquired, turning his head to Zoey who was lying beside him.
Although they were lying on the same bed, there was this gap between them that Nikolai did not cross. Just like old times, just like when they were in their younger years, they would share a bed and just talk about random stuff.
Zoey stared at the ceiling, wondering what she should do. Initially, she wanted to take down Inigo. All her plans were for Inigo.
However, because of Nikolai's aggressiveness, there's a major turn in her plans. Now, she had to deal with Nikolai first.
After all, Inigo would come to power seven years from now. She had time… or does she?
"I feel like if I sleep, I'd die." Zoey muttered after a long time.
"Afraid I'll smother you to sleep?"
"No." Zoey blinked her eyes ever so slowly. "I might not wake up."
Silence ensued. Neither of them talked for a while until Nikolai interrupted the silence.
