2025-01-08 09:03:44“Wow, who is this super sexy woman?”
“Tsk, don't tease me, Tom. I'm not in a good mood tonight.”
Shanon leaned her elbows on the bar counter. Her eyes scanned all corners of the club, which was always busy and packed with visitors. People were dancing wildly on the dance floor. They had their moments. Meanwhile, on the second floor, VIP guests enjoyed their own party in a closed room. With a quieter, more private atmosphere, and with a table full of expensive liquor.
“Why? You've been on holiday for three days. Why did you come to work in a bad mood?”
“Someone messed with me.”
“You owe me an explanation, by the way. You suddenly disappeared after throwing out the trash three days ago. Are you okay? I had Sharon check on you in the alley. She said you weren't anywhere.”
“Yeah, about that I'm sorry. I came home after a drunk man ambushed me and almost raped me in that dark alley

“Nice game.”Jordyn was celebrating his win with his team on the sidelines. Suddenly, a voice interrupted his euphoria with his friends. Jordyn looked back. He was stunned to find Anthony clapping while walking towards him.“It's no surprise that you are the pride of the campus basketball team. You played well.”"Thanks."Jordyn glanced at his friends. They would go to the locker room to clean up, then they would go to Oakland's most famous burger joint to celebrate their victory.“Guys, I think you can go first. I'll follow.”Stevan patted Jordyn's shoulder lightly before leading his friends off of the basketball court.Anthony led the way to sit on one of the benches at the edge of the basketball court. The place was empty. Everyone started to leave the basketball court, while the cleaning crew started to enter the court to clean up the rubbish that was scattered around the stands.“S

“Are you serious that Yvone is in prison now?”"I don't know. That's why I want to take you to prison now."Avery still showed a stunned face in front of Shanon. She didn't believe it was real yet. Someone was finally able to stop all of Yvone's crimes all this time."Who did it? You did it without my knowledge?"“Nope. Anthony did.”“Tsk, why did that arrogant guy have to do it?” The joy on Avery's face faded as soon as she heard Anthony's name mentioned.“I don't like him. I can't possibly forget all the things he did to you."“Me too,” Shanon sighed softly.She put hand moisturizer, lip balm, charger and cell phone into a sling bag. She looked ready to go in jeans and a long-sleeved sweater. Thankfully, she had not yet experienced a baby bump. Shanon hadn't thought about her clothes and all the changes that would happen to her in the next three months when her baby bump s

The decision had been made. He had to end the charade and move on to his next plan. Things are getting crazier and more out of control. Anthony increasingly deviated from his original plan to save his and Shanon's careers.“What are you doing here, Miley?”Miley jumped to her feet quickly. The flash of tension on her face turned into a saccharine smile that was too sweet for Anthony.“Hi, where have you been, Anthony?”“Oakland. Didn't I tell you that I would see a basketball tournament there?”"I didn't know if you were a fan of basketball."“I went there to support the college basketball team.”“As I recall, you had sentiments towards the basketball captain.”“I put aside those sentiments for the good of the university.”Miley put her arms around Anthony's neck. She cursed under her breath because Anthony almost caught her rummaging through his des

“Hey, Shanon. Are you busy?”“I'll never be busy for you, Tom,” Shanon threw a wink at Tom, who was busy preparing a cocktail.”“Please take this to the table over there.”“Just a beer?”“He just ordered that. If you can get him to spend his money on our expensive drinks, the boss will really like it.”“Ok, I'll try.”Shanon picked up the tray and walked to the table Tom had pointed to. She was so excited that night. It was like her life had just restarted, and she would start from scratch. In everything. New beginning, new life, new passion, and maybe a new love.“You?”A few drops of beer spilled on the tray as Shanon slammed it on the table. All her enthusiasm disappeared instantly just by seeing Anthony, sitting alone at a table with his favorite cigarette.“Trying to be a bad boy, huh?”“The truth is I'

“Whoa, finally....”“Thanks for coming to help us move in, Sarah.”“Hey, don't hesitate to ask for help.”“But we had just moved into Jordyn's parents' house, and suddenly we were moving into our house again. You helped us unpack and rearrange our things.”“We are best friends,” Sarah hugged Shanon's shoulders tightly.“Don't hesitate to ask for help. I will be angry if you don't ask for my help at all.”“Aw, that's so sweet.”Shanon wiped the sweat dripping down her forehead. The cold air outside couldn't cool her body, which was hot and covered in sweat from working cleaning the house since morning. She and Avery finally decided to return to their house after occupying Jordyn's parents' house for a month. Jordyn turned down the rent she was paying. Shanon had been forcing him, but Jordyn was adamant that he didn't want to take the money, and neither

"She's pregnant."“Yeah, we've discussed that before.”“This time with the confidence that it is mine.”“And what's the problem?”Anthony looked at Doctor Jarvis like, seriously? Why are you asking me questions that I don't know the answer to?“I was hoping you could give me the answer, doc.”“You are the source of the problem itself. That's my answer.”"Thanks, but that doesn't help at all."“Of course, it helps you to solve your problems. You can introspect yourself. Only you know yourself well.”“I'm trying. But it never worked.”Suddenly, the comfortable leather chair became uncomfortable. It was as if he was sitting on a chair filled with sharp thorns. Anthony shifted restlessly in his chair. He had a panic attack when he tried to think about future plans for Shanon and their future baby.“I am a destroye

Anthony glanced at his watch, and it was indeed time for dinner. It couldn't be denied that he missed Shanon's cooking and the warm atmosphere of dinner at the dining table. Lately, he always ate at restaurants because he was sick of eating dinner alone in his very quiet house. He used to think it was normal. But, since Shanon came into his life, having dinner alone in his quiet house became very abnormal."Okay. It's best if you don't owe me a favor."Anthony stepped out first and ran around to open the door for Shanon. Anthony used his jacket to protect Shanon's body from the rain because Shanon's yard didn't have a canopy.That was the first time Anthony had entered Shanon's house. He had never seen the inside of the house because, in the past, he only talked to Yvone at the door. After passing through the main door, Anthony found a living room with a set of ivory sofas and a colorful, flower-patterned carpet usually sold at Ikea. The walls around the living

Two days later, everything was back to normal. Shanon and Avery decided to end their cold war after more than twenty-four hours of ceasefire. They didn't chat with each other at breakfast. Throwing insults at each other about who was stupid and who was naive for bringing Anthony home. Shanon avoided Avery when Avery was at home and didn't want to talk to her at all. Avery felt she was innocent, and she didn't want to be blamed by Avery.After a day living like hell, Avery began to realize that she was wrong. She had treated Anthony harshly when he had done nothing wrong. She felt bad because she had kicked out someone who had escorted her sister home safely in the middle of a rainstorm that pounded Boston.In the morning at breakfast, Avery deliberately waited for Shanon to come down to the dining table. She spoke as an older sister who had done wrong to her sister and she apologized. Avery explained that she came home in a bad condition. One of her customers stole sev

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
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 144. I'LL BE RIGHT BE, HONEY
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. All black

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
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 141. EXTREMELY JEALOUS
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?”
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 140. THE DAMN TRUTH OR DARE GAME
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
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 139. IT'S OVER
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.
FAKING IT WITH THE PROFESSOR 138. ANTHONY OR JAMMIE
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
