Shanon knocked on Anthony's study carrying a cup of coffee and several chocolate cupcakes on a tray. She wanted to cheer up Anthony, who was angry with the cake she made. Anthony immediately locked himself in his study since they returned from Jeff's house three hours ago. The lunch didn't end well. Shanon heard Anthony screaming at his grandfather in his grandfather's study. She didn't know what was really going on in Jeff's study. But Anthony immediately grabbed her hand roughly as soon as she ran out of Jeff's office and stuffed her into the car before she could say goodbye to Jeff.

During the drive home, Shanon felt intense tension because of Anthony's anger. He was driving at full speed on the busy streets of Boston. The car was moving more than the speed limit. God only knows why Anthony didn't get a ticket from the police. Shanon continued to pray on the way home and clenched her hands in her lap every time the car almost hit the car in front of them. When they managed

    “This is shit!”Sarah slammed her bag on the table then sat roughly next to Shanon."How is the result?" Shanon pretended to be busy scrolling on her cellphone even though she already knew what happened to Sarah.“I still got an F and had to write a hundred thousand word paper based on his material. Business strategy in the modern era. Gosh, isn't that cruel? One hundred thousand words! Imagine that, Shanon!”“Yeah, that was cruel. But it was a fair punishment.”“No, that's not fair at all. Why does a man as handsome and sexy as Anthony Bruce have to have such cruelty in him?!”“I warned you to get to class before he came, but you went with Stevan and didn't come back."“I explained to Anthony that I went to class a few minutes after he came into class. I saw him standing by your table.”Suddenly Shanon's heart was pounding very hard. Yesterday, they secretly sto

  • FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR   14. ANTHONY'S GIFT

    The craziest thing in Anthony's life was when he couldn't concentrate on teaching because he kept thinking about Shanon's face, who was holding back tears because her cell phone was broken. Anthony didn't know why he should feel sorry to see her lying pathetically on the ground after wrestling with her best friend. He thought it was stupid and childish. But strangely, he couldn't stop thinking about Shanon.After ending his class five minutes early, Anthony dashed to his room and called Ben to buy him a new cell phone.“Just buy any good brand. I don't care about the price.”“What about the color, sir?”Anthony thought about the color of Shanon's phone for a moment, then answered directly and steadily, “White. I want you to put it in my study this afternoon before I come back from campus."“Yes, sir.”As evening came, Anthony sat in his study after having dinner alone without Shanon. He didn't know w

    “Professor Bruce! What are you doing here?"Anthony turned his head and cursed under his breath because it didn't seem like his lucky day."I'm shopping.""Here? In the special aisle for sanitary napkins?”Double shit! I hate this damn girl.“Is there a rule I can't be here, Ms. Johnson?”Sarah smiled slowly and shook her head. Anthony was increasingly annoyed because the girl approached him, instead of allowing him to calm down to look for the things he needed.“You're buying tampons for your girlfriend?”"That is none of your business."“I just wanted to offer some help since you seemed confused.”Since when has this damn girl been observing me? Anthony thought angrily."How is her condition?""What?"“Your lover. How is her condition?”“She said she was getting her

    That evening, the campus student council held a dance party in the hall to celebrate the campus's fifty-eighth anniversary. Like anniversary celebrations in previous years, the party was held luxuriously and lively. The university had unlimited funds for the party because they wanted to provide the best for students and campus staff.Sarah had been talking about the party since a week before the party was held. She was fussing around Shanon about the dress they should wear and a partner they should take to the party. Shanon actually didn't care that much. During her almost two years studying at the university, she always skipped campus parties. She preferred to stay at home watching her favorite movies. But this time, she couldn't just stay home and watch a movie because Sarah threatened to hate her for the rest of her life if she didn't show up. Another reason was that they only had about one year left before graduating. Sarah really wanted Shanon to make the best use of her

    When Shanon looked forward, Anthony had come down from the stage and was walking towards her. Her heart thundered very loudly when Anthony's blue eyes locked right into hers. She felt the surrounding room suddenly become quiet and empty. Everyone around her seemed to disappear from sight. There was only her and Anthony in the room. Anthony smiled very charmingly at her. Shanon melted and sank into that smile. She was amazed at his charisma.“She is an outstanding student in my class. She deserves the opportunity to dance with me as an outstanding student, representing all students on this campus.”Thunderous cheers accompanied Shanon's steps as Anthony pulled her into the middle of the hall. She held on tightly to Anthony's shoulders, worried that she would do something stupid by stepping on her own dress.“Why didn't you tell me I was going to dance with you?”“This is a surprise. Put your hand on my shoulder."&ldquo

    “Congratulations to you, Shanon. You are the queen of campus tonight.”“I didn't think I would get it. I don't deserve it.”Shanon read the writing on the pink sash draped over her shoulder. She and Jordyn had just been crowned king and queen of the party after dancing three wonderful songs. Their dance moves managed to amaze everyone. The campus council, without hesitation, appointed them as king and queen of the party that night.Shanon was speechless when a crown was placed on her head. She got surprise after surprise at her first college party. The party wasn't so bad. In fact, she thought it was a great party. She unknowingly enjoyed the party and hanging out with new people from various departments.“You look down on yourself too much. You deserve it. And I don't think there's any other woman who deserves it more than you," Jordyn put her arm around her shoulder affectionately.Sarah and Stevan looked at each oth

    In the morning, Anthony arrived at his office and found a white envelope on his desk with his name written on the surface of the envelope. He grabbed the envelope and opened it quickly. Three photos fell on his desk as Anthony poured out the envelope's contents. His blue eyes narrowed as he stared at the images in the photos.“Dammit. Who did this?”Those were photos of him and Shanon on the night of the university anniversary party. Lucky for him, because there were no photos showing him kissing Shanon or when they made the whole car shake because of their crazy lovemaking in the car. But the photos were able to give rise to negative speculation because he was clearly with his students and he allowed the students to get into his car. That was something he had never done before.With anger rising to the top of his head, Anthony called his assistant quickly. He needed to find out who was behind the photos and what his purpose was. He hoped that none o

    The sound of the music was pounding and Sarah's loud screams in the back seat were able to deafen anyone in the car. Shanon looked back and laughed at Sarah and Stevan's ridiculousness. They compete to eat the most nuts and drink the beer the fastest."I'm sure they'll be drunk when they get to the campsite," Jordyn commented while remaining focused on driving.“I think so too. Sarah had downed three bottles of beer. Really crazy.""But I applaud her because she can still sit up straight without the slightest sway."“She's great.”“Wow, I won. You lost, my baby darling. Fifty dollars!” Sarah stretched out her palm right in front of Stevan's face, which was starting to turn red.“Tsk, you cheated. You knew that I wouldn't win against you, but you placed such a high bet.”“Quickly give me fifty dollars.”Stevan pulled fifty dollars out of his wallet and threw the money in Sara

    Shanon frowned in confusion when she saw Anthony suddenly stand up and throw the napkin on the table. He hadn't finished eating his steak and hadn't touched the wine, but Anthony suddenly left the table in a silent anger that confused her.“Hmm... I think he's sick of having a wife like you. You show the affair too bluntly in front of him."“You've really drained all my patience, bitch. If you can’t say proper words, you better shut your damn mouth.”Shanon moved her chair back and stood up.“Shanon, where are you going? Your ankle is sprained. I will help you.”“No, Jamie. I can handle it. You just keep eating here.”With unsteady steps, Shanon walked out of the dining room. She was so angry that she wanted to hit something. If Annika wasn't her friend, she would have happily punched her sister-in-law in the damn mouth who had been messing with her since this afternoon.Shanon walked to

    Shanon was happy because her relationship with Anthony was quite conducive throughout the afternoon and evening. They didn't leave their room after Anthony got a bruise ointment. They spent their time lazing around in bed, cuddling. Shanon enjoyed a very calm moment with Anthony with the sight of a snowstorm that made the entire landscape outside the window very white. They could barely see the mountain ranges or trees that were usually clearly visible from Shanon's room.At seven, they finally went out of their room because they were starting to get hungry. Anthony held Shanon's waist tightly and led her down the stairs because Shanon refused to be carried by him. Shanon's friends greeted Anthony in friendly tones as they passed each other near the stairs. Shanon was very grateful because she didn't run into Jammy at all while walking down to the dining room. That would be a very awkward moment. Shanon hoped they could return to Boston as soon as the storm passed.&ld

    Anthony jumped down from the helicopter with solid footing. He brushed off the sunglasses that framed his eyes and rolled his gaze to the range of snowy mountains that spread out around him. Everything was white and a little misty. Anthony turned towards the magnificent villa that stood on flat land at the top of the hill. The villa was quiet. Anthony told the pilot to wait because he wasn't planning on staying that night. He just wanted to take Shanon home right then and there. He thought about it while they were still in the air. He wouldn't let Shanon stay at the villa any longer with her ex-lover and immediately took her home.“Are you one of Mrs. Sarah’s friends?”"Yes. Where is she? Where is everyone?”“They were skiing on the hill.”"When are they coming back?" Anthony asked impatiently.“I think they'll be back at lunch.”Drake looked at Anthony's appearance from head to toe.

    Shanon appeared exactly five minutes later in a white and blue gradient ski outfit and furry hoodie. Shanon carried goggles and other ski equipment in both hands.“They gave me this before I came out.”“Sarah and Stevan make sure their friends have everything here. Let's go. Our friends left half an hour ago.”“They must be at the top of the hill. Why is there no cable car here?” Shanon started to complain just a few steps after her shoes hit the snow. The combination of uphill roads and very thick snow made the walk feel five times more difficult than just climbing up a steep mountain.“Where's the fun if you just get on the cable car and glide? The journey from the bottom to the top is more amazing than just gliding.”“Really?”As far as Shanon could see, she only saw pine trees and rocks covered in snow. Shanon wondered whether Anthony was a ski fan or not? She had seen Anthony s

    “Morning, Shanon.”“Morning, Josie.”“It seems you didn't sleep well last night.”Shanon put her ass on one of the empty chairs next to Joselyn and her husband. Most of the other round tables were already filled with other couples. Shanon caught a glimpse of Sarah and Stevan sitting with Justin and his girlfriend.“Yeah, I think so too. I woke up with a very tired body and mind. I need some coffee.”Right after Shanon said that, a housekeeper came in with a pot of very fragrant coffee and started filling her empty cup with coffee that made Shanon's mouth almost drip."Thanks."“What would you like for breakfast, ma'am? We have pancakes & bacon, hashbrown & sausage, and smoked beef omelets.”“I want a smoked beef omelette with hashbrown, can I?”“Sure. I will be right back."Shanon leaned her back against the back of her chair whi

    After making sure Sarah didn't follow her, Shanon dashed to her room and plopped down on her king size bed as soon as she arrived at her room. She rolled herself up like a fetus. She felt that the bed was too big to sleep on alone. She had never felt so vulnerable when she was away from Anthony. She was always fine while living alone in New Heaven. She had never missed Anthony so much. But, that night she felt vulnerable and missed Anthony so bad. She needed to hear Anthony's voice.Shanon rushed to grab her cell phone on the nightstand. She deactivated airplane mode and dozens of notifications started flooding into her phone. It took Shanon ten minutes to wait until the notification ringtone died down, and her cell phone returned to silence. Shanon then pressed the speed dial to call Anthony.“Anthony…” Shanon's voice sounded hoarse and wet."What's wrong with you? You turned off your phone, and you suddenly called me with puffy eyes?”

    Something big?Shanon thought Jammie was just joking to scare her or intimidate her. She didn't have any inkling as she went into the dining room with the dress code Sarah had set for that evening. A silk nightgown for the women and silk pajamas for the men. Sarah seemed inspired by their summer vacation at Joselyn's villa. At that time, they had a pajama party and played a snakes and ladders game all night while eating various kinds of snacks that they brought from their respective homes.But for tonight, Sarah had modified it a little. She didn't make her female friends wear pajamas, but instead nightgowns, as a sign that they were no longer teenagers, and that they were adults with integrity.“Welcome to the pajama party.”Shanon's jaw dropped as she entered the common room. The room was on the first floor, second hallway after the hall. The room looked really amazing with a gold interior and walls covered with gold wallpaper. The

    Shanon quickly forgot everything Jammie said as she was busy welcoming her friends who came to the villa that day. They reminisced while screaming and hugging because it was the first time they had met since graduating from high school.“Anna Hughes! Oh my gosh, I can't believe it's you.”“Sarah, thank you for inviting me and my boyfriend.”“Hi Anna. Are you pregnant?”“Oh, our Shanon genius! And yes, I'm pregnant."“Oh, congratulations to you, darling!” Shanon hugged Anna warmly.She then hugged Aaron, Anna's lover.“Welcome to our humble Villa. Please follow Tobby to your room.""Thanks."Not long after Anna and her lover went to their room in the right wing, Drake arrived from the airport with three couples. Joselyn, the blonde woman, got out of the van for the first time and screamed excitedly as soon as her eyes caught the figures of Shanon and Sarah.

    Anthony's voice on the speaker startled her. Shanon hurriedly opened the door wider and asked Jammie to come into the villa. Shanon then turned her back to Jammie to talk to Anthony."I have to go," whispered her.“Hey. Is he one of your friends?”Anthony caught a glimpse of Jammie's face over Shanon's shoulder. Anthony narrowed his eyes suspiciously at his wife's movements.“Yeah, he's one of my friends. I have to find Sarah or Drake to get them to prepare a room for Jammie. I'll call you again tomorrow. Love you.”Shanon sighed softly. She didn't know why she suddenly became that nervous just because Jammie came while she was on a video call with Anthony.“Did I interrupt you with your boyfriend?”Shanon choked up hearing Jammie's voice so close to her ear. She hurriedly turned around and smiled awkwardly. Her face turned red when she was stared at so intensely by Jammie."That was my husba
