The Billionaire Professor Wants Me
From high school to my sophomore year in college, I've been in four relationships. None of them lasted, obviously. Boys my age just don't know how to treat a girl like me. I turned twenty, two weeks ago, and decided to swear off love until this hunk of a man walks into our film class.
The stranger who I rocked during my birthday party. Well, I thought I only rocked him but memories of that night flood me upon seeing his face. His hands on my waist, my back to his chest, his mouth on my neck. And then...one of the club's rooms.
Oh my God!
"Good morning everyone, I'm Professor Christian Lambert but you can just call me Professor Lambert. I'll be taking you on international film studies from now on." His gaze ignores all the students in front of me and lands on me.
My body warms at the intense memory of us together during my birthday party. As if thinking about the same thing, his face splits into a mischievous grin.
Rumors soon begin to fill the campus about the professor. Five years ago, his ex-girlfriend mysteriously disappeared but was later found a month later, in a man's shirt. It was the professor's DNA that was found in her hair and because there was no evidence, he went scot-free.
I planned to keep my distance from him after hearing the rumors but...
******
"Hey, little birdie" Professor Lambert corners me after one of my lectures. "I couldn't stop thinking about you after that night." I swallow hard and avoid his piercing brown eyes.
Is this right? He's my professor and a rumored killer but...why is my heart beating so fast?

Chapter: Chapter 13There's a pregnant pause, a void waiting to be filled with his response. But instead of an answer, Christian diverts the conversation like the professor he is. I like that he doesn't try to gaslight me into starting another conversation but tells me he just can't spill his secrets, yet."That's a chapter I'd rather not revisit," he deflects gently, his voice carrying a hint of reluctance. "There are things in life that haunt us, things best left buried in the past."His evasion is evident, leaving an unspoken ache in the room, a void where answers should have been. Yet, despite the unaddressed question, there's a silent understanding between us—a mutual recognition that some topics are too raw to be probed further.I respect his evasion, sensing the boundaries he's drawn around that particular part of his history. There's a tacit agreement to let sleeping dogs lie, a quiet acknowledgment that some stories aren't ready to be told.The atmosphere shifts, the unspoken question still ling

Chapter: Chapter 12Andrea Not only did he show up at school, but he had me cornered in the secondary hall right next to the business principles block. “Hey, little birdie.” He taunts. He doesn’t look like someone who’s been bothered by rumors. All I can see in his eyes is playfulness and lust. He’s too relaxed for someone who’s an alleged murderer. I look both ways before focusing on him. If someone sees us, I’m fucked. “What do you want?” I hiss. “I’ve missed you. I couldn’t stop thinking about you after that night.” My mouth waters, and I swallow hard, avoiding his piercing brown eyes. Is this right? He’s my professor and a rumored killer but why is my heart beating so fast? Christian’s hands reach for my chin, and he tilts my face so that my eyes meet his. The playfulness is gone, replaced now with darkness. What made him change in less than a second? For some weird reason, I’m not intimidated by the turn of his moods. I feel safe. He did say he’d protect me, but I feel his promise this ve

Chapter: Chapter 11Andrea“What’s happening?” I say the same time with Nicole. There’s a crowd in front of the academic building. It’s packed. I can’t even push my way through.Nicole tries to peer up by jumping but the students in front of us are taller than us. We just stand there as we wait for someone to fill us in. There are adults on the second-floor balcony. One of them is holding a megaphone. I recognize her from the school board.“Attention!!!” She screams into the cone and everyone goes silent. It’s like you could hear a pin drop and it’s broad daylight. “Would someone like to volunteer for the rest of you and state why you’ve decided to cause commotion this fine morning?” She asks. The people in front of Nicole and me just turn to each other. Left and right.No one wants to man up and say what they want. Which brings me back to the question. What the hell is going on? Who even started this?A blonde guy steps up. I can see his head well above the others. He must be on one of the platforms.

Chapter: Chapter 10AndreaIs she being serious? I thought as his cousin, she’d have more accurate information but all Nicole had supplied in the past hour was just the same as the rumors. What then is the truth?If he really killed the woman, he shouldn’t be anywhere near students. Near me. I feel my body shake again. It’s been doing that since I read the article on that guy’s phone.I can’t help but think I’d have been his next victim the night I saw him. What if he’d taken me somewhere else under the guise of wanting to make out?Oh, man.“I didn’t think it was necessary to bring it up because I believe he wouldn’t do such a thing. He’s such a gentleman. Christian would never hurt a fly,” Nicole tries to reassure me but it’s not enough.I have to know if there was anyone else there at the time of the crime. “It’s not enough, Nics. It’s not. He could have done it.”Nicole’s head shakes violently as she dispels my words. “No. He’d never do it. Take my word for it.”A tired sigh escapes me. I don’t kno

Chapter: Chapter 9Christian I knew this was going to happen sooner. It just had to, with the way the students have been gawking at me since I arrived at this establishment.The school board won’t take it up. I’m too important for them to and the court denied all charges against me. I did not kill her. That night was traumatic but I know I didn’t kill her. Whatever she took. Whatever she was high from that night...I close my eyes and bend my head low as my therapist had instructed me to when my chest gets tight and I find breathing difficult.As soon as the panic subsides, I lift my head and scrub my face with my hands. I’ll have to be in my office until I’m sure the whole of this floor has been cleared.I wasn’t even meant to come into school today but I just wanted to get a glimpse of her. Sweet, sweet Andrea. The way she’d looked at me in the hallway sent chills down my spine.It was going to be hard to convince her I’m not a murderer. Nicole could help but I don’t want to ask her for anything. I’

Chapter: Chapter 8AndreaThe class I’m currently sat for is such a boring one. The lecturer’s voice is like background noise I’ve muffled with the aid of pillows.I’m not with pillows in the class but my thoughts are loud enough to cover it. Nicole doesn’t have this class with me so I’m alone.I think back to our conversation nights ago. It hasn’t been that long. It’s still fresh in my mind. My thoughts are also filled with earlier moments of that night, when the professor had kissed me.No, Christian. I wonder what he’s up to now. I’ve not had any of classes since the first day I saw him. We have his classes only once a week so I have to wait till next week to see him again. I cannot go look for him in his office or after school hours. I suppose he wouldn’t do the same because he knows what risks are involved if he does.The lecturer continues to drone on about women scholars who were philosophers in ancient Greece. The dude next to me taps the girl in front of him.“Hey, seen this?” He shoves his pho
