11 ~ He’s my Nikolai.

JULIAN’s POV

“Dad…you're back,” I mouthed, my heart beating rapidly against my chest as I stared at the man clad in a black coat walking into the office building.

Nikolai is standing by my side, equally surprised to see dad.

My lips curl into a smile, my eyes fixed on dad. I actually missed him…but now recalling the things that happened between me and Nikolai, my smile breaks, though I force it to stay at the end of my lips.

Dad smiles back, but his eyes aren't looking at me. I follow his gaze, finding that he's smiling at Nikolai who's also smirking.

Jealousy knocks...
