Niklaus's POV
I had been deprived of venting out some steam, my brain kept asking for shelter away from all the feelings and cooked plausible explanations as to why it was her fault.
I was seating right in front of Vicente, but I might as well be on another planet. Clearly, the thought of her eclipsed all else. It was impossible to pin my mind in the room when today...
I woke up to my first rejection.
I never before cared about what women thought of me, it wasn't on my priority list. But, I wonder why she had the power to cause such havoc?
I always struggled to find balance when the topic involved feelings. Thus, I never allowed women to cause as much as a ripple in my life, I saw myself out of that category a long time ago. But her stubbornness and defiance ignited every nerve in my system.
