"Is this, like a relationship sort of thing now?" Alex questioned, her eyes focusing on Isis.
"I am not sure." She admitted. Isis knew what happened between her and Mr. Greyson, in physicality but the theory surrounding their 'relationship' left her feeling confused and uncertain.
Alex sighed and bit her lip in contemplation. "I have no clue how your Phantom thinks so I can't exactly make an assumption, however, my educated guess suggests that the two of you are in for more of what happened
"Is everything alright?"Lex leisurely turned to face a fellow lecturer eying him curiously. He hindered his anxious tapping and smiled. "Of course.""Oh, you just seem distracted." She commented as a reason for her intrusion."Lots of papers to grade, forgive me for being such horrible company." He responded smoothly as
"No, no, no." Isis groaned as her laptop spontaneously began logging off. She was in the middle of doing an assignment and it felt as if her blood pressure was skyrocketing."This cannot be happening." She said to no one at all as she began feeling nervous. She didn't write much but the little she did write was imperative to her report.She restarted the laptop and prayed that auto-recovery was employed. Seeing that it was, she sighed in relief. She didn't know what would've happened if it
The warm sun heating the rich grains of sand underneath Isis was the least of her worries. Her eyes and senses were locked on the male specimen making its way towards her. She really hadn't thought about it until now but Lex's arrogance was not suited for the classroom. He was so self-assured and she could see him in a position of high authority, after all, he already acted as if he and he alone should be obeyed.After lunch, he checked them into a hotel and insisted that they visited the beach, but from where she sat, it wasn't such a terrible view. Lex was wearing a pair of shorts that made Isis stare at his powerful, muscle laced legs. The white shirt that
Just a moment's rest. This was the four words on repetition in Isis's mind. She closed her eyes momentarily giving in to the impulse. She was drifting further into unconsciousness but she was too tired to care. Her eyelids were heavy, her limbs no longer listening to her mind's command to move, to shake off the chains of restlessness.With an earthshattering shake, she was released and reality came into focus. "Falling asleep at school now?" Oliver's rich humor-filled baritone brought her to the realization that he had taken a seat beside her.
"Hey, there party animal." Isis rose her head to look at Oliver. She had sought refuge in the library, a necessary means of avoiding Alex and Oliver but her attempts were futile."Whatever it is, the answer is no." She responded decisively only to be rewarded with the sound of his rich laughter as he eased down next to her. For the past three days, Oliver and Alex used their efforts to ensure that Isis was never alone. Their good intentions were exhausting since their meddling resulted in Isis getting little to no sleep for those nights. She knew they were trying to ensure she didn't miss Lex but she couldn't deal with their schemes any longer.
Lex tried several times to contact Isis, but the call never went through. She was avoiding him. At the library, she hadn't even looked at him when she eased out of her seat and made her way out, and like a fool, the only thing he could've done was watch her leave. The entire school was in a flurry about his engagement. He rubbed his eyes out of frustration. This was not supposed to happen yet. He threw his phone on his desk after another failure, his fists banging uncontrollably on the desk.Isis picked at her dinner. She had just completed reading the article. She laughed humourlessly. Lex wasn't heir to just any empire but one of the hugest conglomerations.
Lex clenched his fists at his side as he watched Isis exit his office. He felt as if his jaw would break under the pressure of his clenched teeth. That was not how he had planned his first meeting with Isis after the incident. He covered his eyes with a hand and sighed in frustration.Tatiana closed the distance and stood behind him, he could feel her presence, it was stifling. He felt as if he was being weighed down, drowning."I am sorry that one of your students walked in, I know you val
Isis grumbled as she made her way to the door. It was her day off for God's sake! Why was someone at her house and this early? She was clad in her pajamas, her hair piled atop her head in disarray never mind that it was well past noon. She pulled the door opened aggressively her anger subsiding as she was flanked by the rotating body of Lex. As he turned to face her, Isis' entire bodily functions ceased. Her mind cleared and her body stood rigid, her first instinct was to step back and shut the door but she was momentarily stunned. This was bold, even for him.Lex tried to regulate his breathing. He hadn't expected this particular reaction but he finall
Lex eyed his watch as if his attention to the time would make it speed up. He was early, he was well aware of it but he needed time to collect his thoughts and prepare himself mentally. He didn't know how this meeting would turn out, after all, the board has proven to be highly unpredictable as a jury many times over."Nervous, son?"Lex's jaw clenched at the all too familiar tone. He took a second to breathe before he turned his attention to the devil that would no doubt attempt to bait hi
Reportedly, the son of a business tycoon, Lex Greyson, has been spotted carrying on an immoral relationship with one of his students. This news is a huge shock to the media. The student in question is only identified as a miss Davenport. It is believed that this alliance was the reason for the prodigal son's split from his fiancé Tatiana.Sources tell us that this young woman is trading sexual favors for grades and when Mr. Greyson's intention to marry another was realized, she quickly used the relationship between this to blackmail the young man.
Tatiana crossed her perfectly shaped legs, her ruby lips curving in a smile while she waited. Her mind bringing the havoc she was about to wreak to life. She couldn't wait to disclose the bit of information she discovered. Her hands patting her designer handbag as if it were her co-conspirer."Ahh, Tatiana, my dear." She rose to greet Mr. Greyson. His arms enclosing her gently. "I have been meaning to get in touch with you, but I was holding off until I had a solution to dealing with my idiotic son."
Lex put on his most charming simile as he greeted Elise, she was the Chair of the English Department."So Mr. Greyson, to what do I owe this pleasure?" She smiled as she gestured him to take a seat."I have something of an important nature to discuss with you." He responded lightly."Do tell." She encouraged.
Isis did a double-take when she heard the last words that spilled out of Lex's mouth. It wasn't what she expected to hear, quite frankly she was uncertain that she did hear them."Did he just..." her words were unable to complete themselves. Oliver looked at her with a smile as he completed her sentence. "He disproved the alliance."Isis knew she should've felt happy, overjoyed even yet she couldn't curb the anger swelling in her veins. Her body began to respond before her brain. She began
It was pitch black, soundless, and motionless. No one else would be here... they couldn't be here. It was just his conscious roaming in the nothingness. It felt odd for a place that seemed not to exist, the darkness an eternal realm devoid of any feeling with the exception of Euphoria. And then, then it shifted, the dark beauty that was immortalized mutated into a sickness. The very clean, fresh air turning thick making it unable to sustain any life form, he began to suffocate. His throat closing to the poison forcing its way down into his lungs.He couldn't breathe. It started off with a slight numbness but it grew and soon he was gasping for ai
Isis sank down after the unpredicted call from Lex. Her heart kept hammering against her chest and her eyes felt heavy. As much as she tried to hold back the force was too great and she unloaded her inner pain to the empty corridors of her house. The sound of her sobs echoing off the walls in a sick mockery.She huddled into a corner in her kitchen, her arms wrapped around herself, knees to chest as she released the pent up emotions that surged inside her. Her tears in no way close to hindering. She was alerted by her doorbell, she hesitantly dragged herself off the floor, dabbed at her eyes, and made her way casually to the door filling her lungs with air as
