After the heated kiss, Sebastian's expression softened, his eyes still burning with desire. "I wasn't avoiding you," he whispered, his voice laced with sincerity. "I just want you to focus on your studies, not me all the time. You're a topper, baby," he said, a hint of pride in his tone. "And if you don't score well, I'll think it's because of me." His gaze locked onto hers, intense and serious. "In college, we should remain like professors and students—professional and detached. But outside..." His voice dropped to a husky whisper. "You can consider me your boyfriend, husband, friend... Daddy." **** "Adeline!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with emotion. But as he wrapped his arms around her, she distanced herself, her body language screaming rejection. "Sebastian, don't," Adeline warned. "Why didn't you answer my calls? I've been worried sick, imagining the worst, and feeling helpless. It's been three agonizing days since I last saw you, and I've been unable to focus on anything." Adeline remained silent, "What's wrong, Adeline? You're scaring me," he pleaded. "I'm pregnant," she stated. Sebastian's face lit up with joy, his eyes shining with excitement. "Oh, Adeline! We're going to be parents!" he exclaimed. But his happiness was short-lived, as Adeline's next words shattered his dreams. "I'm going to abort this child," Adeline declared. Sebastian's world crumbled around him, his heart shattering into a million pieces. "But before I do, I wanted to tell you," Adeline continued. "That's why I'm here—to end this chapter of our lives and move on." Adeline's voice dripped with finality. "Everything between us ends with this child," she declared.

"I don't need to go."Benjamin's brow furrowed. "You were vomiting, Adeline. You need medical attention."Adeline's voice remained firm. "I'm fine. Just leave me alone."Benjamin stepped closer. "Don't be ridiculous, sis. You need help."Adeline's defenses flared. "I'm not a child, Benjamin! Stop treating me like one."Benjamin's expression softened. "I just want to help."Adeline's anger boiled over. "For God's sake, stop! I can take care of myself."With a fierce determination, Adeline tossed off the covers and stormed out of the room, leaving Benjamin stunned."Adeline!" Benjamin called after her.But she was gone, the door slamming shut behind her.Benjamin's concern deepened."What's going on with her?" he wondered.Little did he know, Adeline's secrecy hid a potentially explosive truth.******************************
The dining room's warm glow enveloped the trio. Malcolm, Adeline's father, discussed upcoming business deals and projects with Benjamin, Adeline's older brother."...and with the merger between our company, MK Industries, and GreenTech Inc., our quarterly profits will skyrocket," Malcolm explained. "Their innovative sustainable energy solutions will complement our existing portfolio perfectly."Benjamin nodded, intrigued. "That's a smart move, Dad. The market's shifting toward eco-friendly initiatives. What's the projected ROI?"Malcolm smiled. "At least 15% annual growth. And with the new marketing strategy, our brand visibility will increase significantly."Adeline sat quietly, her eyes fixed on her plate. Her absence from the conversation wasn't unusual, but her distant demeanor caught Benjamin's attention.In recent weeks, Benjamin noticed a drastic change in Adeline. She seemed like a different person—detached, preoccupied, and increasingly absent from home."Adeline, how's your
Adeline walked out of Sebastian's office hours, her backpack slung over her shoulder, and stepped into the bustling college hallway. Students rushed past, chatting and laughing, as she made her way through the crowd.Nathan, heir to Pembroke Industries, leaned against a nearby locker, watching Adeline with an intensity that made her uncomfortable. His eyes, piercing blue, seemed to bore into her soul."Hey, Adeline," Nathan called out, pushing off the locker. "Want to grab coffee with me? I heard that new café on campus just opened."Adeline quickened her pace, but Nathan fell into step beside her. "I'm busy, Nathan. And we've been over this—I'm not interested."Nathan's smile faltered, his jaw tightening. "I know why you keep blowing me off," he said, his voice low and accusatory. "You're hooked on that history professor, Sebastian Wellesley, aren't you?"Adeline's eyes narrowed, her stride lengthening. "What makes you think that?"Nathan snorted. "Everyone on campus is talking about
The library was quiet, the rain outside keeping most students indoors. Sebastian sat at a wooden table, surrounded by stacks of books and papers, his eyes focused on his research thesis. Across from him, Adeline studied intently, her notes and textbooks spread out.The soft glow of the library's lamps casts a warm light on their features.Sebastian's brow furrowed in concentration, his pen scribbling notes. Adeline's eyes scanned her textbook, her lips moving silently as she read.As Sebastian wrote, his gaze drifted up, meeting Adeline's. She smiled softly, her eyes sparkling."Hi, Daddy," she whispered.Sebastian's expression turned stern, his eyes darting around the library. He leaned in, his voice barely audible."Not here, Adeline. Not now."His fingers brushed against hers, a subtle warning.Adeline's cheeks flushed, her eyes dropping to their intertwined hands. She nodded, her voice silent.Sebastian's gaze lingered on hers, his eyes burning with unspoken desire.Their secret r
Sebastian lectured on 19th-century European literature, his eyes scanning the classroom as he analyzed the themes of Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary.Adeline sat in the front row, her gaze fixed intently on him. Her fingers traced the curves of her lips with a subtle seductiveness that wasn't lost on him. Sebastian's gaze flickered to her, his eyes locking onto hers with a silent warning.For a moment, they held each other's gaze, the tension between them palpable. Adeline's eyes sparkled mischievously, her lips curling into a sly smile. Her hand drifted to her neck, her fingertips caressing the sensitive skin with a gentle touch that sent a shiver down Sebastian's spine.Sebastian's jaw clenched, his voice remaining steady as he struggled to maintain his composure. "Flaubert's exploration of the human condition, particularly the monotony and desires of provincial life, resonates deeply with readers." His eyes darted back to Adeline, his gaze burning with a mixture of desire and warn
The next day, Adeline settled into her seat in the history class, her gaze instinctively drifting to Professor Sebastian. He stood at the front of the room, exuding confidence and authority as he began his lecture on American history.Sebastian's seriousness was unwavering when it came to teaching. His passion for the subject shone through in every word and every gesture.But Adeline's attention wasn't on the Civil War or the Founding Fathers. Her mind lingered on the intimate moments she shared with Sebastian the night before.As he spoke, his eyes scanned the room, never once meeting hers. Adeline's heart fluttered at the memory of those same eyes burning with desire.She couldn't concentrate on the lesson, her thoughts consumed by the gentle touch of Sebastian's fingers and the soft whispers in her ear.Getting ready for college had taken twice as long as usual. Concealing every hickey and every love mark had required meticulous care.Adeline's cheeks flushed as she recalled the te
Sebastian's hands grasped Adeline's waist, lifting her onto the nearby table. His movements were fluid, effortless, as if he'd done this a thousand times before.Adeline's eyes fluttered closed, her breath catching in her throat. She felt the cool surface of the table beneath her, but it was Sebastian's touch that set her ablaze.His fingers traced the curves of her legs, his palms sliding up her thighs. The gentle caress sent shivers down her spine, and Adeline's thoughts began to unravel.Sebastian's lips brushed against her neck, sending sparks flying through her veins. His mouth left a trail of kisses, each one igniting a fire that spread through her body.Adeline's head tilted back, her moans escaping into the silence. The sound was barely audible, but Sebastian's response was immediate.His hands roamed her body, caressing every inch. His touch was possessive, claiming her as his own. Adeline's fingers intertwined with his, her nails digging into his skin.As Sebastian's kisses
Time suspended its relentless march as they stood transfixed, their gazes entwined like tender vines that had grown together over countless seasons, each thread intricately woven into the fabric of their souls.The only sound was the rhythmic pounding of their hearts, echoing through the silence like a primal drumbeat that resonated deep within their chests, a cadence that synchronized their very existence.Adeline's breathing slowed, her senses hijacked by the piercing intensity of Sebastian's stare, which seemed to bore into the deepest recesses of her being, illuminating hidden corners and unexplored desires.As if summoned by the tension, a gentle breeze whispered through the room, rustling Adeline's hair with an ethereal touch, sending strands dancing across her face like tantalizing whispers.Strands veiled her beauty, partially concealing the radiant glow that seemed to emanate from within, illuminating Sebastian's world and drawing him inexorably closer.Sebastian's fingers tr
Sebastian and Adeline stood facing each other, the tension between them palpable, heavy with unspoken emotions and unresolved conflicts that had lingered for far too long.Neither spoke; their eyes locked in a silent understanding that seemed to convey a thousand unuttered thoughts and feelings.Sebastian's hands lingered in his pockets, his fingers drumming a nervous rhythm against his thighs.Adeline's fingers intertwined, her gaze drifting to the floor before snapping back to Sebastian's face.Their gazes drifted, met again, and held, the connection between them crackling with an almost palpable energy."Professor McClone said you were looking for me." Sebastian asked, his voice low and measured.Adeline's cheeks flushed a deep shade of pink, embarrassment dancing across her features like a butterfly."I...I just wanted to apologize," she stammered, her words tumbling forth in a hesitant cadence."For what?" Sebastian's curiosity piqued, his eyes narrowing slightly.Adeline's eyes
Adeline Emerson enters the crowded lecture hall, her bright green eyes scanning the space for an empty seat. She picks out one toward the back and hastens to it, long, curly red hair bouncing with every step.She settles in, and Professor Sebastian Wellesley steeps onto the stage: a commanding presence in and of itself. His chiseled features and piercing hazel eyes seem chiseled from granite, exuding confidence and authority."Welcome, students, to History 301," he began, his deep voice resonating through the hall. "Our focus today will be upon the influence that the American Revolution has had on modern society."Adeline took her notebook and pen out, her attention moved from Professor Wellesley's hands writing on the blackboard. The strong capable hands seemed to hold the weight of history.She felt a thudding flutter in her chest, which she quickly dismissed as admiration for learning rather than anything else; after all, this professor was not just any other source of education, h...
