CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FIVE
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56It's been way too long I wrote an Author's note but how are we liking this so far? Matt was our villain but how many of us knew? I'd like to think that since Matt has been caught, he'd be handed to the police and that'd be the end, no? I didn't think so. There's a lot more coming dearies. Stay tuned but don't forget to leave a comment or two on the front page, like and vote. I love you guys. Always Writing, T. C. SARAH

“Not now but I have to, at some point.” “Oh…” “Someone needs to take charge of the company now that I’m old enough to do it.” I sat on the bed beside him and faced the floor. “You don’t sound too happy about it.” “It’s not that I’m not happy. I just thought there would be ample time before I had to return as the CEO.” “The CEO.” I muttered, still looking at the floor. I felt like I just got him back and now, he was going to be whisked away from me. “So, you’ll be gone all the time, like Aarav?” My palms pressed into the frame of the bed, holding tightly because I knew I’d fall over if I let myself go. Jared’s fingers touched my face and angled my jaw to him so I was staring directly into his eyes. “Leah, nothing is taking me away from you. I promise you that.” “But being the CEO, you’ll be quite busy and you won’t have a lot of time, even to yourself.” Even to my ears, I sounded whiny and like a petulant child. “You’re not wrong.” He leaned in closer to me. “But we’ll make i

Why was she here? Immediately she saw me, she stopped the conversation she was having with some guy and scowled at me. “Right back at you.” I muttered underneath my breath. “Didn’t think she’d be here. Thought she dropped out or something.” “At least I don’t need my mother begging for me to not actually drop out.” Her mum was no longer here so, I could speak to her anyhow I wanted. She gasped and someone behind me snickered. “How dare you?” “Settle down.” Someone walked in. I’d seen them around the staff area before. He was probably a T.A. By the end of the day, I was the only one left in the hall. Everyone else just had one test to do while I had extra. I walked out of the hall and yawned, feeling very exhausted. I hadn’t slept well in a while because I was studying for a whole lot more than tests. There were assignments and exams were fast approaching. “Hey.” I placed a hand over my chest, stifling the scream that lodged itself in my throat. “Why are you always lurking aro

Jared looked at me subtly and I pretended like I hadn’t seen the dazzling lady that had just walked in.I knew we had to leave and asking Jack to stay back for a reason I couldn’t explain to him would seem suspicious.Jack nodded and grabbed my hand, pulling me along with him. I wasn’t sure Jared’s eyes narrowed at the contact because I was too busy staring at the woman. She was so tall, almost as tall as Jack and he was over 5 ft 10.Her face lit up as she saw Jared in the distance and that was the last thing I saw as we brushed past her and left Joe’s.“Do you think that’s his girlfriend?” My face pulled down in a frown.‘It’s his sister.’ I wanted to say but how could I explain how I knew that information? I opted for a shrug.“Well, they look perfect together.” My mouth soured and I felt the itch to look back. While he’s made mention of her as his sort of sister, I couldn’t help but be constantly reminded that they’re not blood related in any way.“I thought she looked old.” I ret

“I’m going with you.” “No, you’re not.” “Yes, I am.” “No, you’re not.” Jared sighed as we bickered like two little kids. “Leah, I don’t want you to go.” “Why not?” I folded my arms, taking on a defensive stance. “Because Matt is a psychopath that is obsessed with you and I don’t think I will be able to take it if he so much as looked at you, which I know he will.” “He attacked me too. I deserve to be there.” I say with a steel resolve. I wasn’t going to back down. I was in a state of dark limbo whenever I slept. I’d been trying to hide it from Jared. I barely slept. Even when I did, it was filled with nightmares that I tried my hardest to avoid. I could only rest, never really sleep and it had started to take a toll on me. I was beginning to forget things too. If I was being honest, Jared and I, we had a lot to talk about. We were just skirting around the issue without considering the toll it had on us. There were more problems than we liked to admit but first and foremost, Ma

“I didn’t ask you to come in.” Jared gritted his teeth while I frowned. I hadn’t seen her in a while because she’d effectively stayed out of our lives until she was ready to return. “It won’t matter once you hear what I have to say.” I rubbed my forehead, feeling a headache coming. There was just something about her that made me ball my hands to a fist each time I saw her. I used to think it was jealousy but I genuinely didn’t just like her as a person. Jared stood by the door, folding his arms and staring at her tentatively. We both had no idea why she was here and it put us on edge, especially with what was going on with Matt and everything. “Spit it out or leave.” Jared growled but she simply smiled at him and plopped down on a cushion directly opposite me. She’d been looking at me with her nose scrunched up in distaste and I felt the same, then she turned to Jared who hadn’t taken his narrowed eyes off her since she entered. “Jer-bear, you weren’t harsh with me when we were t

I dreaded going back to school. After Vanessa left and Jared got that call, neither of us could sleep. Jared was finally back and we had him in classes. The officers were working hard to bring Vanessa to book because if she was related to Matt, then it was reasonable to think that she was also involved in the whole thing. “That’s the fiftieth time you’ve sighed in the past 10 minutes.” “What are we going to do, Aly?” “Nothing. Leave it to the police.” I moved my hair out of my face and tied it in a ponytail. My hair had grown out, almost reaching my ass. Usually, I’d cut it so it stayed mid-back but I’d barely been giving myself breathing space. There was just too much to do. Too much to think about. My hair band snapped and I almost cried. Nothing was really working out for me. “How about we go to the spa today, hmm?” Aly massaged my shoulders, feeding me popcorn. I’d gone back to Aly’s place. Jared and I weren’t fighting but we kept walking on eggshells around each other, nei

“Are you okay? You look a little pale.” “Uh… yeah. I mean no. I mean…” I cleared my throat. “I’m fine. I have to go. Something’s come up.” I picked up my bag without thinking twice. “Where are you going?” “School. It’s fine. I’ll catch you later.” I waved and dashed out of the diner, flagging down a cab and simultaneously dialing Jared. Only he would be able to confirm that nothing had happened and I was just worrying. I’d never been in the council conference room before and that didn’t sit well with me. “Pick up pick up.” I muttered to myself. His number was going straight to voice mail. I called Aly next. “Hey. What’s up?” “I just got called to the council conference room. Do you know anything about that?” “What? No. What did they say?” “That my presence was required there. I’ve been trying to place a call through to Jared but it’s going straight to voicemail.” “Shit.” Now both of us were panicking. “What if they know?” All of a sudden, my milkshake and waffles didn’t fee

I couldn’t call Leah because I knew she wanted space. After that display in my class, I was stunned to stupor and worse, I couldn’t go after. Jack or whatever his name was did though. Hearing parts of their conversation, I wondered what they were talking about that could have caused such uproar, such reaction from Leah. Rami on the other hand sat back down, her friends hovering around her but saying nothing. She deserved it and I would not intervene, even though I was supposed to. I went back to the office and opened my system. Work had been piling up at the company and I’d been pushing everything back because I was scared of what could happen if I took my eyes off Leah for even a second. Her outburst in class wasn’t just because Rami had said something mean. It was bottled up emotions. She did that a lot and when she was tipped over the edge, she exploded in ways that shocked even her. It was unhealthy but I had no idea how to go about it. I didn’t want to use the word fragile bu

MY PROFESSOR'S LITTLE SECRET Author's Note
Jared and Leah did become friends again but their interests lay somewhere else. They realised they were made for bigger things and they would do that outside the cave they once existed as lovers and even if something were to happen between them, it would take more time than expected for it to happen. Aly, Aarav, Jared, Jack and Leah remained friends but things would change over time. Work, family, life and ambition would force that circle to expand to others too. You may imagine that Leah and Jared ended up together or not. You are the author of that story, a work of fiction is a work of fiction. Author’s Note (I hope this doesn’t come off as offensive): I’ve seen some comments about therapy seeming like a bad thing. Therapy is not weakness, it is an admittance that you need help you may not be able to provide yourself. Mental health issues are not a joke and deserve audience. Some of us have been through traumatic experiences, loss of loved ones, accidents, bullying, harassmen
MY PROFESSOR'S LITTLE SECRET CHAPTER HUNDRED AND NINETY-NINE
THIRD PERSON'S POVLeah looked different. There was something about her, like a light that surrounded her and her eyes looked burdenless. Maybe it was the Norway air, but she seemed ... better. Both she and Jared did."Mr Deric?" The secretary had her head cocked to the side, wondering why her guest was awe-struck, standing in the doorway."Sorry." Jared shook his head and walked in. Leah had a smile on her face as she watched him walk in. She recognised that air of confidence that usually surrounded him and couldn't stop watching him.Her attention was called by the men that surrounded her, as she spoke, she seemed to put everyone in a trance. Jared didn't hear a word she said, only observing how comfortable and right at home she felt."I have called this meeting here today because of a different kind of alliance about to be brokered between Norway and the US. Miss Leah Thomas has come as a financial representative of the BridgeStone Foundation, a company spearheaded by the governmen

Jared’s POVLetting Leah go was one of the hardest things I had ever had to do but I did it for her and myself. I was wrong to assume she’d come running back to my arms because I saved her. I smiled wryly to myself.I hadn’t seen her in quite a long while and our paths never crossed again. Aly was beyond pissed that she tried to leave without telling her but she quickly forgave her when she saw her condition. They talked all the time too and that was why I knew what she was up to most of the time.“Do you regret it?” I looked at the lady before me, she was seated behind her desk, peering down at me with curiosity. “What?” I’d zoned out for a minute and didn’t hear her.“Do you regret it? Letting her go.” I inhaled sharply. I’d been coming here for months. When Aarav asked me why I thought I needed a therapist, my reply was ‘who doesn’t?’“Not really. It was her decision but I got to understand much later. It would have been selfish of me to ask her to stay when she needed to go.” I f

I waited for him to clear his bed and offer me a seat before I sat. I shook my head internally. How did it get to this? I asked myself.‘You did it.’ I exhaled loudly and watched him perch himself on his work chair. He turned to me and rose his brows as if to say ‘what did you want to talk about?’ I cleared my throat and rubbed my clammy hands against my gown. I’d resorted to wearing gowns due to the fact that it was less constricting than most and easier to pull off, I just had to undo the zip and let the dress fall to my legs.“Yeah… uhm…” He continued looking at me and I couldn’t bear it anymore, so I found interest in the bedsheet. It was a fine looking colour, regal and plush looking. It felt so soft to touch, almost like you’d sink into it and be enveloped in a word of threads and fabrics.“Leah?” I hitched a breath when I heard his voice. No matter how many years I’d known him, no matter how many times he called me, I’d always feel the fluttering in my stomach whenever my name l

“I injured my spleen, not my legs. I can walk for myself.” I smacked Jack’s hands away from me. “It’s so you don’t try to run away again.” I rolled my eyes at him even though I felt a stabbing pain in my chest.“Pretty sure I can’t move past this house without falling over.” I’d been recuperating for the past week and Jack was coming over once in a while to check on me. Let’s just say he is more overbearing than most, and I thought Jared was worse.Speaking of Jared, he’d been avoiding me. The only reason I was sure he was even around the house was the fact that food and my pills were always made available. The pills I took made me drowsy for most of the day, so I spent most of it sleeping.“Have you seen Jared today?” I asked Jack as I swallowed my pills and washed them down with water.“Nope.” Jack said and turned the T.V on. If I was being honest, I feared speaking to him. No doubt, my accident had changed the dynamics of our relationship and I wasn’t sure if it had become worse o
MY PROFESSOR'S LITTLE SECRET CHAPTER HUNDRED AND NINETY-FIVE
Most of the time, situations arise, things happen and we are inclined to judge of the situation. It is easier that way because, sometimes, it makes us feel better about ourselves.When the tides turn and we become recipients of judgment, we understand the situation better. It takes a human to realise his mistake, but it takes a humble human to admit it. How many times have we judged a situation wrongly and admitted our error?We’re all guilty of hurting someone, friend, foe, lover… not intentionally but we seek forgiveness. Forgiveness isn’t just feeling sorry, it’s also a way of cleansing our souls, freeing ourselves from the guilt.Jared never told Leah that he forgave her and she couldn’t forgive herself, she couldn't free herself from the guilt.***JARED’S POV “What’s going on?” I asked the doctor who’d just come out of the operating room Leah had been moved to. 14 hours was the longest time I’d had to wait for a report from a doctor and the expression on his face wasn’t looking

I ran my fingers through my hair, walking to and fro like a sojourner who had lost his compass, I’d probably lost mine. The ambulance had arrived shortly after but the Leah was already… I shook my head. ‘No, she can’t be.’ I couldn’t focus on any other thing than the fact that there were many doctors running with Leah’s gurney, one was on top of her, doing chest compressions. The sweat beaded on the doctor’s face told me they’d been doing it since she was in the ambulance.I was slowly losing my mind and Aarav wasn’t here. He was busy trying to sort everything out while I went with Leah. I didn’t want to leave her side, if only I could have followed her into the OR.“She has lost too much blood, especially with the damage to her spleen and hypothermia already seeped in…” I didn’t want to know all the negatives, I didn’t want to know what was wrong.“Can someone tell me, is she going to be okay?” I yelled at the people who had brought Leah in, who seemed to be conversing with a doctor
MY PROFESSOR'S LITTLE SECRET CHAPTER HUNDRED AND NINETY-THREE
JARED’S POV“What are you going to do?” I flipped the documents that Leah had sent. I hadn’t had the chance to look at it because I didn’t want to, not initially. Anything involving her work place kind of pissed me off but when I finally did, I could stop the fear that ran through my bones that Leah could be in danger because of it and I needed to act fast.I looked up at Aarav whose facial expression mirrored mine. He too was very conflicted and while he trusted Leah, it would be a big move to change banks, disastrous if it was the wrong move. We had been using Marque and Co. for so long and the previous leadership had proved capable of handling our assets.This new guy, this Ryan Fisher, from the moment I first saw him, I knew something wasn’t right with him. What Leah had sent hadn’t pointed to him as the culprit but with just enough evidence to let us know that something shady was going on and we needed to act fast or we’d lose more than just money.“We should involve the cops.” I
MY PROFESSOR'S LITTLE SECRET CHAPTER HUNDRED AND NINETY-TWO
I felt a kick to my head and I groaned, my head feeling like it was split open. I blinked my eyes to get accustomed to the light before trying to sit up, something I found difficult and almost impossible to do.I tried to move my body and realised I was bound hand and feet. This slowly entered my consciousness and my drug-induced haze cleared up, I was face to face with a horrid looking mask and I scrambled backwards, bumping into something that felt horribly cold to my skin, metal.The person in front of me moved back, giving me room to at least breathe.“What the hell is going on?” I looked around to see not one, like I had imagined, but four people, armed with guns. My heart started to beat faster than normal at gauging my situation and my throat felt dry. It was dark outside and I realised I must’ve been asleep for hours.I was going to miss my flight, if I even made it out alive in the first place. No one replied me and I couldn’t even make out anything with the ridiculous outfit
