[Caroline Escarte's POV]

Michael and I looked at my brother who was sitting there quietly without uttering a single word. Then, after a couple of seconds' worth of silence, he stood up from the seat and looked at me.
"Can I have a word with you? Just you and I," he spoke as he looked at Michael with slight hesitation in his voice, but Michael was quite chill with it as he nodded before turning to the unconscious Winter.
Leaving Michael behind, I followed behind Nicholas, who was going towards the open balcony beyond the pool he had on this floor. After walking a few steps, we reached the edge of the floor where he was observing the city view before us.
The dawn had passed a few minutes ago and now the sun's rays were falling on the city as a clear view of the areas which were covered with sunlight versus those which now blessed our eyes. It was mesmerizing. It was calming.
