Introduction

“Will you marry me?” Lucian asked with an intense look that made her heart skip a beat for a moment. “Wh- *cough*” Thea coughed as she tried to clear her air pipes. She probably shouldn’t have gasped while drinking water but her shock got the better of her. Did Lucian just propose to her?! “Here…” He said handing her a napkin. Avoiding his intoxicating gaze, she wiped her mouth and tried to compose herself. Her heart was still racing as she looked back up at his beautiful, blue gaze again. Why did the damned man have to be so handsome? And very much her type… “What did you just say?” She asked, inwardly congratulating herself for sounding normal this time. “I asked you if you would be willing to marry me?” He said again, his husky voice sending waves of pleasure down her spine. “Uh, I don’t understand. Why would you ask me this? Leave dating alone, we’ve only known each other for about a week or so…” She said, wondering what had gotten into the man all of a sudden. “I wonder ...

From Bad to Worse
A few days earlier“That would be all for today. Don’t forget your homework. And please start preparing early for the midterms,” Thea said as she watched her students hurriedly exit the classroom with a smile.They were always in a hurry at this time of day, heading out to avoid the lunch rush in restaurants only to fall right into it.When Thea had to deal with her first year students, she was always aware of how difficult it was for them to go through the course load in the beginning, which is why she tended to go easy on them. After all, biology is a deceptively complicated subject.But now that the midterms were close she knew that she had to step up her game a little bit, hence her hungry and sugar deprived students at the end of each session.Thea slowly gathered her materials, closed her laptop, and headed up to her office.Just as she was about to walk into her office, she was intercepted by the figure of a woman with fluffy red curls dancing everywhere and a pen stuck into th

Unpleasant Encounter
Thea’s eyes couldn’t leave the sight before her as she watched her boyfriend grunt one last time in pleasure while his student, looking at her from behind his shoulder, smirked at her, throwing her head back in exaggerated pleasure as she called out his name.Thea felt like she had been slapped in the face at the very moment and she was pulled back into reality. She was so taken aback with shock that she remained rooted there watching their disgusting scene.All of a sudden, Thea felt bile rise in her stomach and she wanted to throw up. She fought hard against it refusing to give the girl the satisfaction of seeing a reaction from her.In another exaggerated fit of bad acting. The girl decided to give Robert the grace of informing him that Thea was standing behind him.“Oh My God!” She exclaimed and Robert, startled, looked back, his eyes widening like saucers when he saw her.Thea had to admit it. The girl did have a lot of guts to be acting like this toward a professor…“Thea…” Robe

Memories and Surprises
“Oh my god! I knew that man was a jerk!” Pen said through the phone and Thea sighed.“Don’t rub it in, Pen…” She told her friend who remained silent for a moment probably realizing how pissed off Thea must be.“What are you planning to do anyway?” Pen asked.“Nothing… As long as he doesn’t make a scene…” Thea answered feeling more tired and dizzy than before.“You sound tired…” Pen said.“I am… I just want to go back home.” Thea lied as she tried to sound as normal as possible.In truth, she felt a lot worse than tired. She felt queasy.“Do you want me to drive you back?”“You still have a lecture and besides you weren’t going back home until late tonight?” Thea said,“I do. But you’re more important than that…”“Thanks, but I will be fine.” Thea said with a smile, “I can drive myself home and we can have a girl’s night tomorrow. You can listen to me rant about my jerk of an ex as we drink tequila shots.”“Sounds like a plan!” Pen said slowly sounding worried, “Call me if you need any

Back to Research
“Hey, you don’t have to participate if this isn’t what you want,” Pen said as she walked by Thea’s side. This time she was looking like a presentable person in her formal attire and her red curls gathered stylishly on top of her head.Whoever saw her in her disheveled state in the lab wouldn’t believe that she was the same person as before.“It’s okay. I don’t want the old geezer to have to say anything about this again. He’s already going to give me a hard time with Robert as it is,” she said as she sipped from her tea.“You’re making it sound like it’s your fault… I mean Robert was the one cheating on you,” Pen answered, then she added, "You've been drinking that tea a lot more these days."Thea paused for a moment, looking down at the teacup and then at her friend before feeling a rush of heat spread up to her cheeks.'Nope... She wasn't doing it because of him. She just liked the taste...'“Yeah... I guess." She said, then continued as if nothing happened, "You know how the old ma

Budgets and Unexpected Lectures
As soon as Thea left the meeting, she made her way toward her car. She still needed to visit the outreach center since it had been a while since her last visit. The workers there must be worried about the budget cut as it is… “Thea…” She heard someone call her and she turned around to find James standing there. “May I have a moment?” He asked with a serious expression on his face which made Thea wonder what was going on. “Of course,” she said as she followed him to a side sitting room near her grandfather’s office. “Is everything okay?” She asked as she sat down before him. “I wanted to talk to you about something in private,” he said, looking more hesitant than ever. “What is it?” She asked, feeling nervous. “It’s about the outreach program funds…” He said, looking at her with worry, “You know how your grandfather cut the funds for it… There is much more to this than what he told you.” Thea remained silent as she kept listening to James. “You know how the funding for the out

First Auditor
Thea wondered where the commotion came from as she stepped into the lecture hall. She was pretty sure that it wasn’t because of her. It wasn’t that unusual for her to cover for Professor Wilson so the students mustn’t be too surprised by her presence there. Continuing to walk down the stairs, she put down her bag on the table and looked up at her class. Everyone was busy looking from her to someone in the back row. And as her eyes traveled up following their gazes, she realized what drove their attention this much. Sitting at one of the far back rows was no one other than him… The stranger from the park. The man who almost ran her over. Sitting there, Thea couldn’t help but note why the students were making such a fuss about him. He was sitting there looking down at his phone in his clearly expensive three piece suit. He looked too much out of place and to be honest way out of league of his entourage which made Thea wonder why she hadn’t seen that when she first met him. So… This

Who are You?
“That your boyfriend?”Thea paused for a moment before looking at Lucian with shock. She honestly hadn’t expected that question. Not from the man who didn’t seem to be interested in anything other than Biology and probably his company.Looking back at him, she was even more surprised when she found his dark green gaze on her unwavering and unnerving as if it was trying to penetrate into the depth of her soul and nestle the flame burning within it inside her.For a moment, Lucian looked like a barely restrained beast as he looked at her.“What makes you say that?” she breathed out wondering why she was feeling suffocated.Seeming to get out of his trans, Lucian’s look softened and the intensity in his eyes disappeared as if it was never there.“Hmm… well, for starters, He was trying very hard not to glare at me,” He answered with a glint in his eyes as if he enjoyed that particular detail.“And secondly, the way he barged into your office with an entitled expression is telling me that

Another Accident
The car spun for a moment as soon as Lucian pushed the brakes and Thea’s head slammed against the window rendering her dizzy and disoriented for a moment. She saw Lucian reach out for her steadying her body even though she was wearing a seatbelt and wondered why he wasn’t more concerned about himself.Everything was blurry and fast for a moment and the only thing Thea could hear was Lucian cursing and the sound of the tires squealing against the ground.“Damn it! Thea!” Lucian called as soon as the car stopped, “Thea! Are you okay?! ”“I-I’m fine…” She mumbled as she looked at him to see him taking a deep relieved breath as he removed his seatbelt and reached for her head.“It doesn’t look like you’re bleeding,” He said his eyes looking serious as he examined her.“I’m fine. It was just a bump,” She said pushing his and away, “More importantly, are you okay?” She asked and he gave her a slightly surprised look before smiling.“I’m fine. Except for the fact that I almost had a heart at

Impartial and Credible
Thea sighed as she pulled up at the university’s parking lot and made her way out of the car. She knew that meeting her uncle wasn’t going to be easy, but she didn’t know that it was going to be this hard. She tried making an appointment under different guises, but she was always politely redirected by his personal assistant. Now she was wondering why she was making the effort to be courteous at all. She should just barge in and say what she had to tell him and then leave. If it wasn’t for the risk of having him put his guard up against them and cover his mistakes. She needed to find another way to talk to him. As she was deep in her thoughts, she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket and pulled it out. “I’m on my way in, Pen,” She said into the phone, “I will be there in five minutes,” “Well, hurry up. It feels like your Mr. CEO is going to come get you with his personal helicopter if you’re any more late than this,” She told her and Thea sighed. “I keep telling you that he’s not
