"Thanks."
Jordyn took his place next to Anthony and took a sip of his coffee. They have the same object to look at. Shanon. Her condition was better and she was sitting in front of the campfire with Sarah. They laughed and told each other jokes that only they knew. Shanon's palms held a mug. Guess it was hot chocolate. Anthony knew quite a few things about Shanon because of the business marriage. Shanon preferred chocolate to coffee. Shanon kept a stock of bitter chocolate in the refrigerator as a snack when her period came. Shanon liked sweet food, but when it came to chocolate, she preferred, and really liked, bitter chocolate. Apart from that, there were several other things about Shanon that Anthony began to know. He was a good observer. And he would keep it that way.
Anthony stared at Shanon in amazement because an hour ago Shanon was still curled up in his arms, scared and cold. And now, she looked like a normal girl who had neve

“One sandwich and orange juice please.”Shanon smiled at Agnes, the cafeteria cook. She is everyone's favorite and a good mother to all campus residents. Agnes always gave large portions of food to everyone, especially the students who looked thin. Agnes never married and had children. That's why she dedicated her entire life to feeding students like they were her own children.“Hey, Anne. Get Ms. Wilson's order.”“Aye aye madam.”A girl with a ponytail made a salute gesture at Agnes. The girl smiled at Shanon before she went back to work preparing her order.“Hi, sweetie. Nice to see you show up at my counter again. It was a terrible incident.” Agnes leaned her elbows on the counter and gave a sincere sympathetic look.“Yes, I must admit that it was terrible. And I am grateful to be standing here to eat your incredibly delicious food.”Shanon had to get used to the sudden po

Shanon held Avery's cold palm and smiled gently at her sister. She was happy to be able to visit her sister again in between her busy schedule at college and being Anthony's wife. She still couldn't tell Anthony about Avery. That's why she couldn't go to visit Avery freely. But she always made sure Avery's weekly hospital bills were paid.“Hi, Ave. You look increasingly pale and gaunt. When do you wake up? I really miss you"Shanon imagined that the sound of the cardiograph was Avery's voice. The device was connected directly to ger heart. Shanon's stupid imagination imagined that Avery was talking through tubes connected to her heart.“You know, the man who was supposed to marry you wasn't as bad as I imagined. Yesterday, he took me to dinner at a fancy restaurant to celebrate my success because I got the highest score in his course exam. You know, it means a lot to me. It's been a very long time since we ate an expensive meal in a fancy restaurant.

Shanon tried to keep her promise to Jefferson to talk to Anthony. After leaving Jefferson's house, Shanon went to campus because she thought Anthony would be there. But when she arrived at his office, Anthony wasn't there. Shanon then went home and hoped to find Anthony alone in his study, but again she failed. Anthony wasn't home. The house was still the same as the last time she left it before going to the hospital to visit Avery.As day turned to night, Shanon became increasingly worried because there was not a single call or incoming message from Anthony. Shanon waited in the living room anxiously. At nine p.m, Anthony had not yet come home. Shanon decided to look for Anthony at several clubs around Boston. He probably decided to go to the club and have fun with the bitches. Or Anthony might take out his anger on booze. She once saw Anthony half drunk in his mini bar.“Where are you, Anthony?” Shanon clutched her cell phone in frustration.Anthon

Anthony walked straight along the deserted literature department corridor. His steps were so calm and full of confidence. The smell of old books and dust filled his senses as he turned right towards the storage room. He pressed his palm against the rough surface of the door. His eyes moved to the right, feeling the presence of someone around him. At the count of three, Anthony turned quickly and ambushed his stalker before dragging her into a dusty old storage room.“You should take my words more seriously, Jane.”Anthony pressed Jane's back against the wall with his strong arms. Jane winced in pain when she felt Anthony twist her wrist and her chest tightened from the pressure of Anthony's elbow.“Hi, baby. You surprised me.”“No need to pretend in front of me. You were spying on me all this time, huh?”“No. I just happened to see you in my department. I wanted to greet you."“Bullshit. I know

Anthony removed Shanon's arm from his chest slowly so as not to disturb her sound sleep. He rubbed his face roughly to get rid of the sleep that still hung in his eyes. The clock still showed three o'clock. He got out of bed and put on his pajama pants which Shanon had thrown away a few hours ago and fell under her dressing table.His cell phone was still ringing noisily on the sofa. That was the reason why he decided to get up from Shanon’s warm bed, because he was worried that the sound of his cell phone ringing would disturb Shanon's sleep."What's wrong, Ben?"“Sir, I have bad news.”"What is it?"Anthony was starting to get used to bad news since his parents died. He realized that good and bad things always go hand in hand in the world. He couldn't live with only the good things and leave the bad things behind.“Mr. Jefferson just died.”I told you, he wasn't surprised at all. In fact, Anthony had be

“Shanon! Oh my God, I saw the news on television this morning."Sarah walked into class and ran over to Shanon in a frenzy. She dragged over a nearby stool and sat facing Shanon who was busy studying the economic management exam material.“Anthony’s grandpa was found dead by his maid in his study last night. Is that true?"“According to the police who handled Anthony's grandfather's death, it was indeed a case of suicide. I haven't heard from Anthony yet.”"Hey, why are you here, instead of going to Anthony's grandfather's house to accompany Anthony during his grandfather's funeral?"“I'm not needed there. Anthony didn't want to be seen with me at his grandfather's funeral. Remember, our wedding is a secret.”Shanon tried to hide her sadness by reading material that she had already memorized by heart. But she just wanted to hide her sadness from Sarah. Things would get out of hand if Sarah started di
Last Updated : 2024-12-24FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 29. I HATE YOU, PROFESSOR
Time had passed so quickly since Jefferson's death. Shanon missed Jefferson's funeral because Anthony forbade her to be there. She could only see the funeral procession through television news broadcasts. But that was only a small part of the entire process of Jefferson's funeral. Anthony only allowed reporters to cover his grandfather's house for an hour. After that, the funeral process was carried out behind closed doors and only attended by people closest to Anthony's family. Shanon regretted not being able to attend and conveyed her best wishes directly to Anthony's grandfather. Shanon would remember their brief time together for the rest of her life.For three days in a row Shanon spent her time at home just daydreaming. There was nothing she could do because Anthony never came home and never gave her any news. She just realized that she used most of her time at home to serve Anthony. At first, she hated the household tasks assigned to her. She felt like a servant who wa

Anthony's voice and harsh curses jolted Shanon awake from all her wild fantasies. She screamed hysterically, seeing Anthony beat Jonathan black and blue and lying helpless on the floor. Blood was everywhere, spurting from his torn nose and lips.“How dare you touch my wife, huh?”“Anthony, let him go. What are you doing? I'm not your wife."“Shut up, bitch. You were still my wife before I kicked you out of my life."“You're being unfair. You throw me away like trash, but you don't let anyone else have me. Let go, Jonathan. Or I'll call the police.”Anthony didn't care about Shanon's threat. He continued to beat Jonathan to vent all the anger that had been building in his heart for days ago. Blame Shanon and those damn bastards for picking the wrong day to mess with him.“I said stop!”Shanon pulled Anthony's body away from Jonathan as hard as she could. She managed to drag Anthony into t

"Turn right."“No. We still have to walk straight over there.”“But I want to see the baby crib here.”"There is a baby shop that makes the best quality baby cribs there."Shanon folded her arms across her chest. Her eyes narrowed at Anthony.“Well, I keep forgetting the fact that I'm going to marry a man who bathes in a thousand dollar soap. You obviously couldn't possibly buy a baby crib at Ikea.”“Don't be so skeptical about my life, Shanon. I just want the best for my son.”“I know, I know. I'm just not used to your very wow lifestyle."“I don't like you commenting skeptically on my lifestyle. Like it or not, you have to get used to it from now on. You will live under me.”“Oh, really, Anthony. I want equality. What century do you think we live in, huh?”The two of them stood in front of the Ikea entrance and glanced at each other sa

“Deal.”“Nice doing business with you, Mr. Maddock.”Avery held out her hand to shake Tim Maddock's hand. They ended the meeting with satisfied smiles on each of their faces because they managed to reach an agreement on their next project. Tim Maddock then walked away, leaving Avery who still remained in the restaurant to pack up her things.“Avery? What a coincidence, huh?”Avery looked up. She just gathered the documents and put them in the briefcase. Her face lit up when she saw who had just greeted her.“Jordyn. Hey, what are you doing here?”“Umm... Lunch. Actually, it's not really lunch. I only ordered coffee because I was trying to build a good image in front of people I had just met.”“So, do you want to have lunch with me? I haven't eaten anything since just now.”"That is a good idea. You saved me from starvation. Thanks, Ave.”&ldquo
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 99. THE WEDDING PLAN
A month after the graduation party, which was full of drama and showers of congratulations from her friends, Shanon still couldn't come out of her euphoria. She welcomed the day with joy and the promise of a better future. Every morning she woke up and realized the fact that she was Anthony's fiancé. Formally. There was no secret. Everyone knew for sure that she belonged to Anthony, and vice versa. Just imagining it, her life became lighter than before. Negative thoughts disappeared in an instant from her brain."Good morning."“Hi, princess. You look really excited.”Shanon kissed her sister's cheek briefly. Avery had been sitting at the dining table since seven o'clock. She was ready in a formal suit, a black bag sat on the empty chair next to her, and she had a cup of coffee on the table.“I'm always excited. What would you like for breakfast?”“You don't need to bother making me breakfast. You prepared me br
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 98. I WANT TO SEE YOU HAPPY
I apologize....Shanon turned off her phone before she read the entire message Anthony had just sent her. Just seeing the word at the opening of the message, she could already guess that the message would end badly. Something like, Anthony couldn't be there on her graduation day and couldn't see her throw her cap in the air.“He sucks,” Shanon muttered under her breath.She squeezed her phone before stuffing it into her bag.She and hundreds of students from various departments were gathering in the main hall of the university to celebrate their graduation. Shanon had worn her best dress along with a black robe and academic cap. Avery put on light make-up and put on soft pink lipstick, which made her look even more stunning. Unfortunately, Anthony couldn't come to complete her happiness today. Though she really hoped that Anthony would come to see her go up on stage and make a speech on behalf of the hun

“Cheers.”“Oh man, is this party necessary?”“Of course it is necessary. Let's have a toast.”Shanon lazily clinked her glass with Sarah's. Hers had apple juice, while Sarah's had beer. Her house was very noisy tonight because Sarah and Jordyn threw a party to celebrate her graduation. Shanon officially completed her master's program and graduated with the best grades. They insisted on celebrating with a party because Shanon deserved the best graduation party. An hour ago, they came to her house with three boxes of pizza, several boxes of Thai food and Chinese food. They also ordered fries and burgers. The living room table had turned into a party table with a variety of food that they couldn't possibly finish that night.“I feel like you guys shouldn't throw me a party.”Shanon looked at Anthony with a frown. Anthony had just arrived after Sarah called him to join them. Anthony didn't need to think t

“This is the time.”Shanon released her hug from Sarah. She wiped the tears dripping down her cheeks.“I'm sure you can, Shanon. Show them who you really are.”“Thank you, Sarah. You're my best friend. I wouldn't have been able to get through all of this without you.”“We love you, Shanon.”Shanonh turned to look at Jordyn. She then snuggled into his warm embrace."Wish me luck."Shanon walked into the hall with extremely impressive calm. The campus council and lecturers had gathered in the hall to test her. They were all there, except Anthony. Shanon was sad because she couldn't see Anthony this morning in the hall. But, an hour ago they had spoken on the phone. Anthony regretted that he couldn't be there for her when the campus council chewed her out. Anthony promised to always support her from afar.“Are you ready, Shanon?”“Yes, Mr. Angelo.”

Those damn campus councils? They won't hear you. They are busy crushing Anthony and Shanon.”“Where are your manners? Call him Professor Bruce.”"Not anymore. He was no longer a professor since the rusty campus board fired him. They stripped Anthony of all his titles. Now, he is just an ordinary guy. Without any title.”"You must be kidding."“Do I look like I'm kidding now?”Jane studied the woman's face closely and she suddenly snapped her fingers.“I know who you are. You're from the economics department. You're one of Anthony's students. I see you always stick with the other woman."

Avery had tried to persuade her many times to come out of her room, but she ignored her. She used two full days to think. She wanted to blame Anthony for all the problems that happened to her.
