76|| Peeling Away The Darkness

Hello ^-^! 

Welcome to the new chapter ^-^! 

How are you all? 

I'm doing well finally! I'm healed lol! 

In this chapter, Nikolai is pouring his heart out for the first time after years. It is a little angsty but I hope you don't mind! 

Even though their relationship was never perfect, Nikolai had always felt regret for not having a proper bond with his older sister. 

I think there is no need for trigger warning in this chapter, but I will say the same thing which I always say: I won't tolerate any hate comments or insults. 

Enjoy ^-^!

 "Guys! I fell in love!" Sigma said excitedly.

"If you are still in love with Nikolai I will kill you!" Fyodor said angrily.

Sigma rolled his eyes. "He can be yours. I fell in love with a beautiful girl."

Nikolai replied. "What a coincidence... My older sister told me that she fell in love with a handsome barista."

Sigma's heart skipped a beat as Nikolai's words sank in. Could it be? Was it possible that Mykhaila, the girl he had fallen for, was Nikolai's older sister? A surge of excitement mixed with nervousness coursed through Sigma's veins.

Fyodor, who had been ready to unleash his anger, paused for a moment, his eyebrows furrowing in confusion. "Wait, your sister fell in love with a barista?" He asked, trying to make sense of the situation.

Nikolai nodded, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. "Yes, she did and if I'm not mistaken, Sigma here happens to be the very same barista."

Fyodor's confusion deepened as he looked at Sigma, who stood there with a sheepish grin on his face. The pieces of the puzzle started to fall into place and Fyodor couldn't help but feel a mix of surprise and amusement.

"So, you are the one who captured my sister's heart." Nikolai said with an amused expression on her face. "I must admit, I didn't expect this."

"It was unexpected for me too. It was unexpected for both of us, but love works in mysterious ways, doesn't it?" Sigma punched Nikolai in the arm lightly. "Anyway, I need to go, I have a date with Mykhaila." He left the room, leaving two lovers alone in Nikolai's dorm room.

Fyodor chuckled lightly. "Actually, it would be surprising that your sister would actually end up with a wealthy aristocrat or a powerful politician."

Nikolai raised an eyebrow, his amusement turning into curiosity. "Why is that?" He asked, genuinely intrigued by Fyodor's statement.

Fyodor leaned back in his chair with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Well, you see, from your mentions about her I figured out that your sister has always been a free spirit like you. So, she would never quite fit into the mold society tried to impose on her. It wouldn't be so hard to guess that she would choose someone unconventional, someone who challenges the norms, like Sigma."

Fyodor's words hung in the air, causing a momentary silence to settle between him and Nikolai. The room seemed to hold its breath as Nikolai processed the implications of Fyodor's deduction. A mixture of surprise and curiosity flickered across his face before he finally spoke.

"You... You are right..." Nikolai admitted, his voice was tinged with a hint of awe. "I never realized how transparent I must have been about my sister."
