MEMORY GAP

"NIKOLAI, wake up."

Hearing the soft and sweet voice that never failed to soothe him, Nikolai opened his eyes. As expected, he was greeted by the most beautiful woman in his eyes. "Mona."

Mona smiled but there was a look of worry on her angelic face. "Did you have a bad dream?" she asked worriedly, then she gently wiped something off his face with her soft and warm hands. "You were crying in your sleep."

He blinked in surprise. "I was crying?"

The last time he cried was when Juliet passed away.

And he rarely gets bad dreams recently. Ever since Mona moved into his palace to live with him, his days had been blissful. Thus, he couldn't fathom what could make him cry when he was at his happiest these days.

She nodded, then her face turned sad. "You were apologizing to Nichole."

Ah.

Of course, it would be related to his twin sister.
