2024-12-24 09:10:09“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

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

The class continued as it should, even though she came to campus with a battered face. In the first class, Shanon managed to hide her face well behind a mask. Her friends were quite satisfied with her answer that she had a cold. She was safe for the first two hours without Sarah's annoying questions because Sarah wasn't enrolled in a macroeconomics class. But in Financial Econometrics class, she couldn't avoid Sarah at all because Sarah was even waiting for her in class with an angry face.“Where were you last night? I looked for you like crazy in the club. I asked the bartender, and he said you went out with a guy. And you're a bit drunk. Is it true?""Yeah, I was taken home by Jonathan."“What did you guys do last night? This morning I even tried calling you again, but you still didn't pick up. Did you fuck a stranger in Anthony’s bed?”“Shut up. You make my head hurt."“And why are you wearing a mask?”

“Where did all the CCTV footage go? Why didn't anyone notice someone sneaking into my grandfather's house?” Anthony shouted at his assistant on the phone. He pounded the table in his office angrily. Everyone suddenly became shit and messed up his emotions. He was angry more than three times in one day. He was sure that his blood pressure had increased and had broken through normal limits.“All CCTVs were under maintenance that day. There is no CCTV footage of the night Mr. Jeff’s dead.”“Shit! How did it happen? I'll call the CCTV company.""The maintenance was at Mr Jeff's own request. Nothing bad happened during this time. Mr Jeff didn't see any harm in turning off the CCTV for a day."“Fucking shit. Does anyone know about CCTV maintenance?"“Everyone in the house knows. But I'm not sure who else outsiders would know about it.”"What about the CCTV around my grandfather's house?"

“Sorry, have you seen Shanon?”"No. She wasn't in micro-economics class today.”"Okay, thanks."Sarah sat restlessly in her chair. She glanced at her watch several times while hoping that Shanon would appear at the door of the classroom. It was supposed to be the third class Shanon had to attend. But, Shanon had not appeared. If Shanon hadn't skipped her first and second classes, Sarah would still be calm. But skipping three classes at once, that wasn't Shanon's habit at all. She was an honor student who preferred coming to class rather than sitting lazily at home. Shanon would not leave class unless there was something urgent to do. And all this time, Shanon always called her if she couldn't come to campus.Sarah then grabbed her cell phone to call Shanon one more time. There was still no answer from Shanon. She had been trying to call Shanon since yesterday afternoon. She felt bad because she had to leave the sad Shanon to watch the ba

“Mmpppffhh...”"What? I can't hear you.”Calvin grinned seeing his prisoner moving around brutally. With her feet and hands tied to a chair and her mouth gagged with cloth, there wasn't much Shanon could do but growl and hurt herself.“Aren't you tired? You've been doing that all night.”Shanon looked at Calvin who was squatting at her feet with hatred.“Look, you have blisters on your ankles because you keep moving brutally against the rope.”Shanon shuddered in horror when Calvin's fingers caressed her legs and continued to move upwards. She tried to kick Calvin with her tied feet, but that didn't stop Calvin from touching her at all.“I know your marriage to Anthony is fake. You're just a bitch who was paid by him to pretend to be his wife. And coincidentally, I haven't been with a woman for a long time.”Shanon widened her eyes in surprise. Calvin leaned towards her whil

"Are you sure this is the place?""No doubt. We tracked his location through the last signal emitted from his cell phone before he threw it away or destroyed it.”Anthony arrived at Calvin's cabin at exactly six in the morning. He lurked from behind a tree with two men from the security agent. Anthony decided to hire them instead of calling the police because the agents were much more capable than the police, who tended to be lazy. Anthony had proven for himself how badly the police had performed in investigating the case of his grandfather's death. Until now, he had not heard from Jim Peterson. Anthony was getting tired of waiting. He preferred to do it his own way. It was faster and more effective.“Whatever happens, Calvin is mine. I won't kill him, so I'll need you guys to handle him after I free Shanon. Dying was much easier for him. Meanwhile, I want him to feel the punishment slowly. You understand?"“Understood, sir.”

"Good morning, professor."“Hmm... Are those flowers?” Anthony lowered the book he was reading.Shanon had just stepped into Anthony's treatment room with a very beautiful bouquet of white lilies. Shanon smelled the fresh aroma and put them in a vase to replace the wilted red roses.“Of course these are flowers. Are you disoriented?”Shanon giggled softly. She remembered when Anthony first regained consciousness after surgery to remove the bullets in his waist and arm. Anthony became a strange and ridiculous man. His genius brain was still covered in drugs. Anthony looked dazed and lame at that time. He couldn't recognize Shanon clearly and even tried to get acquainted with her. Anthony then praised her as beautiful before he groaned in pain from moving too much. Shanon bet him a hundred dollars that Anthony wouldn't like it if other people saw his lame side, but Shanon had seen it. Shanon wanted to laugh at him at that moment, but

Her marriage was in turmoil. Shanon almost believed her wedding was canceled because Anthony couldn't come to his own wedding. Isn't that crazy? The main character couldn't attend his own wedding!Shanon was stressed about handling all the wedding preparations alone while Anthony was in Singapore to attend a damn conference which he said was very important to him. Anthony delegated all his responsibilities to Shanon and only gave a few short confirmations via telephone every time Shanon called to ask about several things related to their wedding. Anthony then asked Ben to do things that Shanon couldn't do herself because she was pregnant. Anthony promised to arrive in Boston the day before their wedding, and he asked Shanon to calm down.But, the day before their wedding, Anthony didn't show up at the airport at all. Shanon, who had been haunted by worry for weeks, tried to call Anthony to ask for clarity about his return. To her surprise, Anthony gave her some very ba

"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.”

“Jane Heather.”"Who are you?"Jane frowned in annoyance at finding an uninvited guest suddenly entering her room and locking the door, as if she had given her permission to do so."I'll call security to drag you away from here and report your impoliteness to—""Who? 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."
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 94. LET ME GO
After disappearing from civilization for two days, Shanon decided it was time for her to face all the problems she had left hanging in limbo.For two whole days she just holed herself up in her room. She removed her cellphone battery and did not want to be exposed to the outside world in any form. Her mind created all kinds of terrible scenarios about her life and future. 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. Before she got involved with Anthony’s life, everything was normal. Her only misfortune was having a very cruel stepmother like Yvone.But, after she got involved with Anthony, things got out of hand. She experienced a series of events that she had never imagined before. Including the problems she was currently facing. She never thought that she would be in danger of failing to get a master's degree just b
