MY PROFESSOR'S LITTLE SECRET CHAPTER EIGHT
“I swear, anyone who chucks a ball of paper at me again will…”“What will you do? Hmm?” Someone from the back yelled. I’d had enough of the insults, sneers, derisive comments and physical attacks. I stood up to address the issue when Jared walked in.“Everyone settled down.” Jared’s deep voice interrupted me, calming the atmosphere with his presence.I bit my tongue and swallowed whatever I was going to utter.“Sir, the assignment was not our fault. If anything, it’s water bottle girl’s assignment that shouldn’t be accepted.” I’d decided to name the girls always behind me, for God knows what reason, GG (gossip girl) 1 and 2. I wasn’t interested in learning their names. GG1 had spoken.“I think the whole class agrees on the fact that we don’t want her as our representative anymore.” Her voice seeping with vitriol. I had cost them part of their CA and I wasn’t surprised they’d wanted that. I understood how they felt and I would accept that. What I couldn’t take was the constant assault.

Jared lifted me up and let go of my body as if it burned him to stay in close proximity with me.“Are you okay?” Alyssa’s panicked tone sliced through the awkward air.“Yeah.” My voice sounded mangled and I cleared my throat, avoiding Jared’s eyes. I adjusted my shirt where it had ridden up and my skin felt warm to touch. I hoped it wasn’t obvious how tensed and embarrassed I felt.“I’ll see you around.” Jared finally spoke up, facing Alyssa. She blushed in return as he left, leaving just Alyssa and me in the hallway.“Now that is some cake.” I turned to look at her, shock marring my features.She giggled, covering her mouth in what? Embarrassment? She probably had forgotten that I was there with her.“I cannot believe you.” I shook my head and walked beside her as we exited the building.She wasn’t wrong though. Jared had it and my ears burned with the knowledge that I’d just checked his ass out.I would be lying if I said I hadn’t felt shivers all over. My skin still burned from his

I gambled on my thoughts and sent a risky text. I knew I’d never have the confidence to face him in person because even after sorting out my feelings I still felt confused.Call me stupid but something in me held onto the glimmer of hope that maybe he actually wanted something with me and I wasn’t being delusional.“Can we talk?” I placed my phone on my bed face down and squeezed my fist and biting my lip nervously. Was he going to reply? What was he going to reply?My phone chimed with a message and my heart skipped a beat. I blew out a breath and picked up my phone.“Why?” I squinted at my phone, trying to see if I’d missed the rest of his message.“What do you mean why? We need to talk.” I seethed as I battled with my keyboard.“I don’t think there’s anything we should talk about.” I could almost see his eyebrows drop in a frown. I scoffed. Apparently, only me thought there was this weird energy between us and it just made things incredibly awkward between us.“Okay, maybe it’s jus

“are you okay?” Ashley asked as she noticed my somewhat puffy eyes the next morning. I knew fake concern when I saw it. Ashley was just looking for gossip.I returned a fake smile and nodded, my voice taking on a happy tone.“Yeah.”Ashley was one of those girls I strongly avoided in school or just around me. They were like piranhas, guzzling till whatever was left of someone was a pool of their own blood and they moved on to the next victim like it was nothing.I’d slept with my contacts on, making my eye itchy. I knew how dangerous it was to leave them on for the longest times but I couldn’t even bring myself to care when I’d bawled my eyes out. I felt something shift within me.I’d seen enough of people assuming the worst of me, making me feel like I wasn’t enough. I took out my contacts and threw them in the trash. I was done trying to cover up all my flaws but I took it a step at a time. I still felt insecure about my scars because of the history behind them but I could start som

Matt was good looking, funny and nice. It felt nice to be wanted by a man. Jared had wanted a one night stand, not me and it was glaring how he treated me. How he had assumed I was going to use the information that we’d slept together against him. My blood boiled at the thought of it. He really was an asshole.I entered the room and walked straight to my bed. My feet stepped on something and there was a crunch. I looked at the floor and squinted my eyes. It was quite dark inside so I turned on the lights.“The fuck?”There were solo cups strewn across the room, bottles of vodka and small packets of…condoms?I spotted my bed and my sheets that I’d left in perfect condition were now squeezed and halfway across the floor. Asides the complete disorganization of the room, it was void of life. The whole place stank of alcohol and sex. My nose scrunched up in disgust.I cursed under my breath as I inspected my bed sheet for stains. Thankfully there were none, but I couldn’t imagine myself lay

“Nothing!”“She agreed to go out on a date with me.”I threw Matt an annoyed look. It was none of his business what we did. His gaze narrowed at me first and then a small smile played on his lips.‘What was he playing at?’ I thought to myself.“Really?” His eye brows rose up in surprise.“Yes.” Matt continued to smile, completely oblivious to whatever Jared was doing or not saying.“I see. I hope this won’t affect your duties, both of you.” I avoided his gaze as Matt answered for the both of us.“No sir. It won’t.”“Good.” There was almost a hard edge to his tone but I paid no mind to it.“I have some problem set for you guys to solve. This will be after your test. I’ll email them to you but, I will need the hard copies for your assignments. They’ll be essential for your final grade at the end of the semester.”I cursed under my breath. We were over a hundred in total, sixty plus in my set and I wondered if he really had the time to look at our assignments, paper to paper. He surely c

I was so nervous throughout the date, scared I would fuck it up with my inexperience. If Matt saw it, he didn’t mention it and for that, I was grateful.“What do you think?” I looked at him and the platter before me.Matt was crazy rich. I’d seen that from the car he’d picked us up in. While I didn’t know much about cars, I knew Maybachs were fucking expensive. He’d taken us to le palais crémeux. I couldn’t even pronounce the fucking name. That was how posh it was.“It’s covered in gold.”“Yeah.” He didn’t think it was crazy that a meal was covered in gold. I chuckled to myself.“Uhm… I don’t know. Let me taste it, I guess.” There was a slight crunch to it but other than that, it tasted like regular stake.“I don’t know why but I thought it’d you know…” I gestured to the plate.“...taste like gold?” His brows rose and then he burst into the laughter. My cheeks burned in embarrassment.“Oh shut up.” I adjusted my dress a little. I felt severely under-dressed in the restaurant. Everyone

Matt and I walked hand in hand to class the following week and everyday after that. We’d fallen into a comfortable zone where we’d just kiss and cuddle. Nothing really beyond that but I revelled in the attention he showered me. “See you after class.” He placed a kiss on my cheek after seeing me off to my next class. I felt my phone vibrate in my hands as the lecturer droned on with the boring lecture. I looked down at my phone and opened it subtly. “Your test results are out, kindly let your classmates know.” My heart palpitated heavily against my chest as I read the mail. It hadn’t even been up to 5 days since we had the test. Did he seriously not have a life outside his job? We were in one of our other accounting classes when the message had dropped in so, I waited for the class to be over before announcing it. “Guys!” I yelled for the thousandth time, finally catching their attention. Not really expecting all eyes to lock on me, a blush crept up my cheek. “Uh… the test result

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
MY PROFESSOR'S LITTLE SECRET CHAPTER HUNDRED AND NINETY-EIGHT
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
MY PROFESSOR'S LITTLE SECRET CHAPTER HUNDRED AND NINETY-FOUR
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
