Chapter 57 Hollow And Empty
Curled up at the back of his couch was Jack Raven. His knees were pressed close to his chest as he sat on the floor.
On the floor were scattered frames, bottles, and littered drugs. He was sitting at the back of his chair, trembling uncontrollably as he sobbed.
Lucinda left a few minutes ago and now, his emotions are finally catching up with him and he felt so suffocated.
His arms were wrapped protectively around his knees and he remembered all he’s been doing lately and the actions just showed he’s changed for the worst.
It was unlike him. But being with Lucinda...he’s noticed how awful he has become and now, his chest feels tight and breathing seems even more difficult than lifting a mountain.
Jack’s lips shook as he kept sobbing, his head throbbing badly as he wrapped his arms around his knees even more tightly.
He wept silently for what seemed like hours until his phone started to vibrate to indicate an incoming call.
He raised his head and his red nose, ears, and eyes were visible. His hair was glued to his forehead due to the sweat there.
Jack’s serene eyes wandered to his phone that was close to his feet, he slowly reached out to it and held it with his shaky fingers.
He checked and saw that it was his secretary. He numbly swiped the call to the green button and the call got connected.
He placed the phone close to his right ear, his eyes were in a daze as he waited for a reply from the other end.
