MY PROFESSOR'S LITTLE SECRET CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE
The school had officially gone on vacation, and so had we.“Master Deric.” A slightly older man bowed his head and I looked at Jared with a raised brow.What the fuck? The man opened the door to the car and I thought that’d be all. As we walked onto the tarmac, I couldn’t help but wonder if it was a private strip. No one else was on the plane except for us and a few flight staffers.“Whose jet is this?” I whispered, not wanting to seem ignorant.“Mine.” My eyes went wide as saucers. The way he’d casually said was what made it all the more marvelling. Just how much did this guy have?“Okay...” I chuckled nervously. He didn’t let me sit farther than 2 inches from him. Throughout the flight, I was on his thighs.“Don’t your legs hurt?” I didn’t mind the position but his legs had to be in pain.“No.” I’d woken way too early for the trip so I wasn’t surprised when my eyes drooped close. I tried quite hard to stay awake but I was way too comfy to resist the call. Jared slid off his glasse

“I think the champagne bottle is miss…” Jared stopped mid-sentence and took a long look at me, his brows furrowing. “What is it? Are you okay?” My phone was squeezed in my hand and I wondered if it was something worth worrying about. We’d come here for a little get away and drama was the furthest thing from peace. Besides, I didn’t want to have to tell him if there was absolutely nothing to worry about. “Nothing.” I smiled. It should be nothing. “Sure?” He didn’t seem convinced so I stretched my hand towards him and he walked forward. I pulled him gently until he was at my level and kissed him, suds all over my body. “Yeah.” I pulled back, giving him the sweetest smile I could muster. “There should have been a bottle of champagne here but I can’t seem to get a hold of the manager. Reception isn’t the most perfect here.” That piqued my interest. Maybe that was why I hadn’t heard anything when whomever it was had called. I looked at the man before me, his wavy/curly hair falling ov
MY PROFESSOR'S LITTLE SECRET CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE
We spent most of the day indoors and the nights outdoor. We were only going to spend a few days in Cancun.So far, it’d been one of the best experiences I’d ever had. No strange calls from unknown numbers, just time alone before work and school took over.“Told you you’d look great in it!” I took one look at myself in the mirror and all of a sudden turned shy.“I dunno…”“Jared has seen you naked a few times but a bikini is where you draw the line?” I scowled at Alyssa who was on a video call with me.Reception had gotten better over the last few days and I was making the most of it since the vacation was nearing its end.Jared had suggested we go to the beach that there was some festival and we could just enjoy it. Before we actually left for the trip, Alyssa had packed some stuff for me against my will and now I was testing them in front of her.“You have a really nice figure. You should show it off more you know…” I bit my lip, unsure.“Fine. I’ll wear it.” Then I picked up a beaut
MY PROFESSOR'S LITTLE SECRET CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR
“Jer, what’s this?” I wasn’t sure I was seeing properly. After the short vacation, I didn’t go to back to my hostel immediately. I would’ve gone to Alyssa’s place but she had finally gone home and would be back in a few weeks or days. She said ‘it depends’. “What?” Jared didn’t look up from his lego assembly, completely concentrated on finding matching pieces. He was such a nerd sometimes. “This!” I obstructed his vision with my phone in his face. He looked at it, then looked away like it wasn’t important but I caught the sheepish look in his eyes. “Nothing.” “A hundred thousand dollars isn’t nothing.” I yelled at him. The prize money was meant to be shared by the both of us but he’d sent everything to me instead. “I have no use for the money and I’d love for you to have it. Consider it my gift to you for making the school proud.” I looked at my phone and my face morphed into that resembling pain. “Jer… I, I can’t take this.” He deserved it too, even if he had all the money in t

I didn’t care about the fact that my hands were now bleeding and that I wouldn’t be able to pick up every piece of the glass. This was my award, mine. I’d earned it and some monster had taken it and smashed it across the floor.I sprang into action mode and checked every single thing that had been torn apart. There was nothing of mine that hadn’t been ruined.My phone rang mid cleaning and I dropped the glass pieces into its box, hoping I’d be able to arrange them much later, at least the bigger ones. A chill ran through my bones as I feared who it could be.I exhaled loudly, relief flooding my veins as I recognized the caller. Why was he calling though? It wasn’t the perfect time to have a conversation with him, not when I was on the verge of breaking down.I switched off my phone and dropped it. I wasn’t sure when Ashley would be back and I knew if she saw my place like this, I’d be in big trouble.‘you could have told Jared you know. This seems like you being a hypocrite, hiding t
MY PROFESSOR'S LITTLE SECRET CHAPTER SIXTY-SIX
I was mid moving my bed when I heard someone call for me. I couldn’t turn since the bed was a bit heavy and obstructing but I recognized the voice.“Alyssa?” I heard her pick up and pace and she appeared in front of me. “What are you doing here?” I was expecting her in like a few days from now.“I finished early... what are you doing?” She motioned to the bed I now leaned against the wall. “Uh... moving a bed?” She rolled her eyes at me and smacked her forehead.“Duh... I can see that. I’m asking why you’re doing it. You have a bed, don’t you?” “I had.” I picked up the bed and went inside, making sure I wasn’t dragging it across the floor. It was almost impossible to do.I suddenly felt the weight reduce drastically and looked back to see Alyssa lifting up the rear end of the bed.“Thank you.” She just shrugged in response.“You know, this is my first time being in your room. Didn’t know you’re quite the minimalist.” I almost scoffed. Or more like my things were destroyed.“Yeah.”
MY PROFESSOR'S LITTLE SECRET CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN
“Shit shit shit shit shit…” “You just couldn’t be quiet, could you?” I shot her an annoyed look. “He’s heading towards us.” Alyssa whispered. “Do you think he saw me?” I was still ducked low as the table and I needed to know if I could actually hide under the table and get away with it. “I don’t think so.” I quickly hid under the table and hoped to God that he hadn’t seen me. Thankfully, we were in a secluded corner and things were still quiet around school and Joe’s was almost empty, save for the waiter and baristas. Just a few seconds after I hid, I heard a shuffle of feet and a pair of shoes. “Alyssa… Hey.” I covered my mouth like it’d prevent me from making any sounds. “Jared… What do you want?” Her voice sounded a bit clipped, showing she was annoyed with him. “Uhm… I uh, I wasn’t expecting to see you here but I thought I’d come over and apologise.” “Can I have a seat?” Out of panic, I shuffled back a bit, hitting Alyssa in the leg. She yelped but quickly covered it up.
MY PROFESSOR'S LITTLE SECRET CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHT
I blinked real fast, real hard. Jared pushed the phone closer to me so I’d grab it. “What is this?” It was a picture of my room, the mess it was before I cleaned it up. “How…” I trailed off. He’d never been to my room before so he should have had no idea whose room he was looking at. Secondly, how had he even gotten the picture in the first place? “How I have this?” He grabbed the phone from my hands and scoffed. “Gee, I don’t know. Someone thought to tell me and not my girlfriend.” Contrary to what I should have been feeling, my heart did a little back flip and I had to stifle the smile that was about to stretch my face. Jared was seething as he paced the room. “A call woke me up this morning with an email of what is supposed to be your room. Can you please tell me what the hell is going on?” Jared sat down on the bed and faced me, apparent confusion and somewhat watered down anger dancing around his pupils. He’d softened his tone to speak to me. “Who told you about it?” “Doe

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
