Adeline's secrete Chapter 17
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

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 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

Benjamin knocked softly on Adeline's door before entering. "Let's go; I'm taking you to the hospital."Adeline's eyes narrowed, her grip on the bedsheet tightening. "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.******************************

Sebastian held Adeline's trembling body, his warm arms enveloping her in a comforting embrace as he tried to calm her down."Shh, baby, I'm here," Sebastian whispered softly, his lips brushing against her forehead in a gentle caress.Adeline's tears soaked Sebastian's shirt, her body shaking uncontrollably as she relived the horror of Nathan's attack.Sebastian's fingers gently lifted her chin, his eyes locking onto hers with a deep affection."I'll never let anyone hurt you again," Sebastian vowed, his voice filled with conviction and determination.His lips met Adeline's in a soothing kiss, calming her fears and reassuring her of his love.Adeline's sobs subsided, replaced by the warmth of Sebastian's touch."Listen, what you saw wasn't what it seemed," Sebastian began, his voice gentle but urgent."Emily forced me to go there.

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

Adeline had now acclimatized herself to the warmth and comfort of her dorm room, stacks of textbooks and notes sandwiched in every corner. She planned to have the whole afternoon to herself, studying, but somehow, she found it hard to concentrate. Her eyes remained fixed on the history textbook. Sebastian seemed to float over its pages. His smile, his eyes, and even the part when he told her to "Call me Sebastian, Adeline" rang in her thoughts. Adeline sighed and shut the book. Focus eluded her. It was difficult to contain all that excitement of working with Sebastian on the research project. With a groan, she got up from her study desk and began pacing the floor across the room, replaying their conversation. What did he see in her? Purely academic interest or something else?Adeline's phone buzzed and broke the trance. It was a text message from her best friend, Sophia."Hey Addie! What has got you glowing? Spill!"Adeline stood frozen, unsure whether to let hold the secrets of her h

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.

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.
