All Chapters of Bound By Duty, Captivated By Love: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

“You could try it. There’s a first time for everything,” Sebastian said flatly. “I can go with you.”“I’m not sure, Sir. And I don’t think it’s a good idea,” Alethea replied shortly.“Why? Because you’d be embarrassed to be seen with me?” Sebastian asked, raising an eyebrow.“What do you mean?”“You don’t want to go out with someone blind like me because you’re ashamed,” Sebastian stated. It wasn’t a question—it was a fact, spoken with unsettling confidence.Alethea frowned at him, confused. She had never brought up Sebastian’s condition before. In fact, it had never crossed her mind to make an issue of it. What confused her more was his desire to watch a movie. After all, wasn’t watching inherently a visual experience? How could someone who couldn’t see enjoy it?Watching a movie was nothing like reading a book, where imagination painted the scenes. It was also unlike listening to music or radio, which didn’t require visuals to be appreciated.Movies relied on vivid visualizations—mo

“How do I do this? What am I supposed to do?” Thea wondered silently. Did she really have to satisfy him? After all, she had never once asked to be touched. It had always been him—approaching her, seeking his own release. And yes, in the end, she was often the first to feel pleasure. But still, she had never requested it. So why should she now feel responsible to return the favor?Sebastian frowned slightly, puzzled by the silence and lack of movement from Thea’s direction.“What are you doing?” he asked, for what felt like the fifth time that evening.“Nothing, sir,” Thea answered, still standing exactly where he had left her.“Nothing?” His brow furrowed deeper. “Are you not going to please me?” he asked, his tone tinged with growing irritation.“I’m not sure if that was a command or a request,” she replied calmly. “If it’s a request, then I suppose I’m not obligated to fulfill it, am I? And if it’s a command... I honestly don’t know where to begin.”Her blunt honesty only frustrate

Eireen, who sat on Sebastian’s left side, found herself—oddly—starting to look at the man differently. Ever since a few days ago, when she saw Sebastian picking up Shareeza at the Arion Estate, an unexpected wave of longing for him began to creep into her thoughts at night.Sebastian’s handsome face, his captivating smile, and his warmth from the past all returned vividly in Eireen’s mind. She realized that no other man had ever admired her the way Sebastian did. Whatever she wanted, Sebastian would always try to fulfill it—even when her desires seemed unreasonable.She missed the days when she could act spoiled, and Sebastian would willingly give her anything she asked for. Without realizing it, the desire to be with him again was growing stronger with each passing day.They had grown up together, learning each other’s strengths and flaws. Eireen knew exactly how deeply Sebastian had loved her. Because of that, she often took advantage of his kindness and wealth to ask for many thing

“You’re not an actress, Eireen. So stop pretending. Just tell me how much you want,” Sebastian said coldly.He tried to push Eireen’s body away—not roughly, but firmly enough to show that he did not welcome the closeness.Eireen, who had expected a warm reception, could only stare at Sebastian with a stunned expression.“W-what do you mean by pretending?” she asked, feigning surprise. She hoped her tone could deceive Sebastian, knowing he couldn’t see the facial expression she deliberately made to look disappointed and hurt.“I’ve known from the start that you never truly loved me. And if you think I still have the same feelings, then you’re mistaken.”“I once admired you. I even gave you time to reconsider—perhaps the decision you made back then wasn’t the result of careful thought, but influenced by the emotions caused by your pregnancy. But now five years have passed. I’m not a fool who will keep waiting for something uncertain,” Sebastian said flatly, a tone that made Eireen’s ski

The car had entered the basement area of the penthouse building, and the driver had turned off the engine. However, none of the passengers immediately got out of the vehicle.“Should I wake her up? Or would you like—”“Thea, wake up. We’ve arrived,” Sebastian cut in, shaking Thea’s shoulder with his arm, deliberately interrupting Pierre’s words. He knew very well that if left unchecked, Pierre might suggest someone else—either the driver or a security guard—to help carry Thea. And Sebastian clearly would not allow another man to touch the girl.“Where is this?” Thea asked, blinking her eyes, trying to focus her vision. All she could see in front of her were walls marked with large numbers indicating the floor.“At the penthouse,” Sebastian answered briefly, then got out of the car without waiting for Thea to fully regain consciousness.Thea stepped out of the vehicle with a slight wobble, still not fully recovered from the drowsiness caused by being abruptly awakened. She glanced at P
