AlexanderThe room was completely silent. No one said anything when Alexander entered the room and sat in his chair. With Alexander's arrival, the atmosphere of the room had shifted. The uneasiness was visible on the faces of everyone present at the meeting."Show me your presentation, Mister Covle," Alexander spoke up. As Covle stood up to give his presentation, everyone's attention shifted to him and most of the directors seemed to like it.Alexander, on the other hand, was bored after only a minute of the presentation. "So what do you think, Mister King?" Inquired one of the shareholders of the company. Alexander did not say anything in response. He silently stood up from his chair and was walking towards the door. Before anyone could say anything or try to stop him, he turned around. "Next time, don't set up a meeting if you cannot prepare a proper presentation," his statement left everyone speechless. He walked out of the meeting room and went back to his office.He was frustra
EmmaShe went back to work again while Liam and Ela were talking. She told Emma to help Alexa in the library.Emma went there and found Alexa cleaning the shelves and arranging the books. Alexa noticed her and passed her a warm smile."Hey Emma, I bet Ela sent you here," she nodded her head in agreement.She chuckled. "I could tell, I am almost done with my work. Whenever there's any family member of King's, she always 'shoos' us away so, that none of us would make ourselves look like idiots."That was pretty weird, we are not kids anymore. Emma shrugged it off and asked Alexa if she needed her help with anything. "I am done with almost everything actually, you can just help me with those books," she pointed at the pile of books lying on the table right ahead."Can you please put them back on the shelf?" Emma nodded and picked up half of the books while Alexa picked the other half. She started sorting out the books in their respective sections according to their serial numbers. Ther
Alexander's P.O.VI was waiting for Matthew to show up. It had already been 20 minutes. I glanced at my clock. Why the fuck is he so late? I thought to myself.He finally showed up after another five minutes."Ah my old friend, Alexander." I stood up and shook his hand.I nodded my head. "Matthew.""How have you been, Alexander? It's been a long time since I last saw you." Matthew was one of the charmers during school. All the girls loved him back then. Because of his flirtatious behavior, he was the perfect example of fake sweetness. And I noticed he hadn't changed at all."I have been good so far. How are you doing with your company?" I asked taking a sip of the coffee I ordered."It's doing good and that is why I am here with you because I want us to be business partners as well. Your company is one of the top companies in the country. I know that together we can make our companies grow very rapidly." I agreed with him. He was also a good businessman. His company was also one of th
Author's P.O.VAlexander sent the girls home in his car and ordered another one from his office. He decided to not join them and to wait inside the cafe instead. He didn't want things to go different, besides he wanted to give Emma some emotional space for what he was going to do to her tonight was going to take a toll on her. He had been waiting for this time to come for a long time. He could no longer resist at this point.The girls were seated in the back as the car swiftly drove down the street. For the first ten minutes or so, there was absolute silence in the car. Neither of them uttered a syllable. Both of them were frightened. Alexa at last spoke up and said, "I wonder why Master had to send us home in the car. We could've taken a cab." Emma didn't respond. She was too scared to even think about it. Alexa put her hand on Emma's pale and cold hand and apologized: "I'm really sorry this happened. I didn't realize that Master would be there too." Emma struggled to speak but gave
Author's P.O.VIt didn't take long before Alexander got back home. It was the first time he used his official car to return to his house. The drivers and the guards who are mostly around him were surprised, this was the first time they saw Alexander arrive in a different vehicle. But, of course, no one would dare to question or gossip about it. Alexander got out of the car, shutting the door behind him. His feature was firm and sharp; he still had his cold face on; his eyes were reddened with anger. But he did not want to lose his temper yet. He had to be patient.Getting inside his house, he was instantly greeted by the maids and Ela, who seemed a little disturbed. Alexander calmly walked past the maids and made his way upstairs."Bring me my drink, Ela", he ordered and proceeded towards his room.Ela nodded and replied, "Yes, Master."Alexander hated slow and clumsy people so Ela made sure she was in his room on time. She placed the tray of the wine bottle and glass on the table. Sh
Author's P.O.VThere are things in the world that change drastically over time, some change for good and some for bad. Some people might have trouble being aware of these changes. Alexander was one of them.The roads were filled with silence. He decided to drive today; he dismissed the driver and took the car keys, driving out of his office. He took a glance at his watch. The time read 3:45 p.m. He had to go somewhere with Adrian before going back to his house so he dropped off Adrian at his place and started to drive again. After dropping off Adrian, he had to take a different route since Adrian lived near the woods, the same as Alexander but the area Adrian chose was quiet as he liked silence.The day was long and he wanted nothing but to go home early and rest till dinner.His mind wondered about last night's incident. It made his blood boil with anger. Even though he enjoyed his moments with Emma. But at the same time, he could not help but feel anger towards her for disobeying hi
Author's P.O.VAlexander walked into his room and shut the door behind him before loosening his tie and sitting on the bed. He took a wine glass from the nightstand and poured a drink for himself. As he brought the glass to his lips to take a sip, his eyes stared into a distance and his mind wandered off elsewhere. Wandering around. Going back to that place was a mistake, unintentionally or not. Never had he let his past take over him. He loathed it. He gripped the glass firmly. His jaw moved back and forth as he was boiling with anger. With one swift movement, he pulled his hand up in the air and threw the glass on the floor with all his strength. His eyes were locked on the shiny marble floor for a couple of minutes. The glass lay shattered on the floor, but his eyes did not move from their stable position. His breathing was not steady as he was filled with rage. He stood up and walked towards his walk-in closet; he pushed the pile of his clothes aside, looking for something in the
12th March 2008Walking out of the classroom, he quickly noticed all the eyes on him, staring oddly. He never liked people staring at him. He was at the school for over a year before he was homeschooled. No one ever really bothered him much but he despised the gossip that whirled throughout the campus.He opened his locker and put his stuff in there. The hall was crowded, as usual, it was the last period so everyone was waiting for their respective classes. He was not a loner, he just never liked anyone. He liked being alone despite not being in any group of teenagers who consider themselves "best friends". He scoffed at the thought of it. He smelled how fake they were which only further increased his disliking of the people around him. A hand slammed onto his locker and shut it with a loud thud. He looked to his side and saw a person standing beside him, towering over him, even though he was as tall as the jock. He looked like someone who plays basketball or some sport."Oh hey! Isn'
