All Chapters of Lustful Eyes: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

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 frustrat

AlexanderAlexander sat rigidly at the café table, his patience wearing dangerously thin. Twenty minutes had already bled by. He checked his silver wristwatch, his jaw clenching tight. Why the fuck is he so late? he thought to himself.Five agonizing minutes later, Matthew finally strolled through the entrance."Ah, my old friend, Alexander."Alexander stood up, masking his irritation as he shook the man's hand. "Matthew.""How have you been, Alexander? It's been a long time since I last saw you," Matthew greeted him smoothly.Matthew had been a notorious charmer back in their school days. Women had flocked to him, drawn in by a flirtatious behavior that served as the perfect mask for his fake sweetness. Watching him now, Alexander noted that the man hadn't changed a bit."I have been good so far. How are things going with your company?" Alexander asked, taking a slow sip of his black coffee."It's doing very well, which is exactly why I'm here. I want us to become business partners. Y

It didn't take long for Alexander to return home. It was the first time he had ever used his official car to drive back to the mansion. The drivers and guards who usually surrounded him were surprised by the sudden change in vehicle, but of course, no one dared to question or gossip about it. Alexander got out of the car, slamming the door shut behind him. His features were firm and sharp; he wore his usual cold mask, though his eyes were darkened with pure anger. But he did not want to lose his temper just yet. He had to be patient.Stepping inside the house, he was instantly greeted by the maids and Ela, who seemed visibly disturbed. Alexander calmly walked past the staff and made his way toward the grand staircase."Bring me my drink, Ela," he ordered, proceeding up to his room.Ela quickly nodded. "Yes, Master."Alexander hated slow, clumsy people, so Ela made absolutely sure she arrived at his room on time. She carefully placed the silver tray carrying a wine bottle and a crystal

Alexander walked into his room and shut the door behind him before loosening his tie and sitting heavily on the edge of the bed. He took a crystal wine glass from the nightstand and poured a generous drink for himself. As he brought the glass to his lips to take a sip, his dark eyes stared off into the distance, his mind wandering elsewhere.Going back to that place was a mistake, he thought, whether it was unintentional or not. He had never let his past take over him like that before. He absolutely loathed the feeling.He gripped the glass firmly, his jaw working back and forth as his blood boiled with suppressed anger. With one sudden, violent movement, he threw his arm up and hurled the glass at the floor with all his strength. The glass shattered instantly against the shiny marble, exploding into tiny, sharp fragments. For a couple of minutes, his eyes remained locked on the floor. The shards lay scattered across the pristine marble, but his gaze did not waver from its rigid positi

The room was entirely engulfed in darkness. It was completely soundproof; no noise could bleed in from the outside world, and not a single sound could escape it. Scattered across the cold floor were a few metal tables and chairs.When the young man finally opened his eyes, he saw nothing but a thick, suffocating blackness floating around him. He was completely disoriented, terrified of where he was and why he had been brought there. He tried to lift his hands, only to discover that he was securely restrained by a thick, coarse rope tightly knotted around his wrists. Panic seized his chest as he violently struggled, desperate to loosen the bindings. His heart sank when he realized his efforts were useless. He was trapped in that dark room. He opened his mouth to scream, but the sound died in his agonizingly dry throat. He desperately needed water. His breathing grew rapid and shallow, his entire body shaking violently from a mixture of raw fear and the freezing temperature of the room.
