Chapter 5

I ignored him as he blurted those words, my face buried in my palm 

The whole class was left confused, murmuring among themselves as they seemed to try understanding what Jaden meant by what he said.

 

“Silent!” Leo shunned, and there was silence. I raised my head and watched as he walked over to Jaden with his left hand in his pocket, those muscular arms tugging with veins.

 

“If you disturb my class, I will send you out of my class, and you will fail the exams. Do you know what it means? You will be repeating this class every semester, and I will keep on making sure you don't pass!” Leo seethed at Jaden, who didn't seem to be moved by his threat.

 

“It seems you already hate me, huh? Why?” He snickered, “Everyone here is curious to know why you are already picking on me. I am also curious.” 

 

“I will do the same to any other student who disrespects my presense in the class.” Leo snapped and walked back to the front.

 

Jaden nudged me and whispered. “We were both talking, yet he decided to threaten only me. Are you both dating already? That is sweet. So tell me, did he deflower you that night?” 

 

“Leave my class! And you are banned from my lesson for one week!” Leo voice cut through and Jaden's eyes narrowed as he turned his gaze to him.

 

“Take it easy, buddy. I was just asking her for a pen.” 

 

“Leave or I will drag you out!” Leo warned, and Jaden nodded. He had a sly smile as he walked to the door but stopped and faced the whole class.

 

“You all watch out for the news that will trend in the school portal soon.” He smirked, winking at me before stepping out.

 

I closed my eyes, my heart pounding hard and fast while I tried to calm my nerves. I knew what he meant. He would be doing something terrible soon. 

 

Maybe posting my nudes, I don't know. But if he had wanted to forgive me, Leo just made it impossible.

 

Everybody finally introduced themselves by name, and it got to my turn.

 

“Tell me your name, and you can also let me know the name of your partner I just sent out.” Leo said casually, and I frowned.

 

“He is not my partner!” I blurted as I stood up, avoiding his gaze. “My name is Lena.” 

 

“What about your boyfriend I sent out? Tell me his name!” He snapped, and I grimaced, feeling irritated, but he showed no concern. 

Why will he call Jaden my boyfriend? 

 

“I don't know him.” I blurted, and he scoffed and looked away from me.

 

“See you guys tomorrow when I will be having my first lesson with you.” He concluded and walked out. 

 

Leo's POV 

 

What the heck was this coincidence? 

 

Is this a kind of trick or what? Why was she in the class I was teaching? Why the hell do I have to meet her again?

 

She was the last person I wanted to see, yet somehow she turned up as my student after what happened between us that night. And worst of all, Jaden was also in the same class, and he clearly recognized me. 

 

My life had never been so complicated.

As I walked into the classroom and saw Diane sitting right there among other students, my heart had fluttered and my breath hitched. 

I wished it was hallucinations, hoping it would end up not being real, but hell nah, the young girl I had a one night stand with was back to my life and my heart seemed to be messing up right now.

It was supposed to be a common sex to ease my tension, but when I saw her, I realized it was something different—one I can't explain.

As a member of a dangerous Mafia organization, I thought I had shut away every kind of soft feelings for anyone. So why am I somehow excited to see her again?

 

My mind flashed back to everything that happened that night and I could feel the excitement rushed through me again.

When she bumped into me and stained my shirt with wine in that club, I was angry and pissed but the moment she looked up, I instantly got lost in her pretty but sad eyes.

My anger had faded so quick and the way she innocently tried cleaning my shirt, apologizing like I would beat her up, really amused me. I dismissed her, yet she still came back to sit and drink with me. 

I pretended to be annoyed at first, but it was only for a minute, and the next moment I was enjoying her company. 

She stole a kiss from me, and I couldn't push her away. I can’t remember the last time I had a kiss, maybe six years ago when my life was still normal till I lost everyone I loved and ended up as one of the most feared and heartless in the Mafia Organization.

 

I wonder how she was able to make me lose myself. I really can't believe we ended up in the same bed like lovers and the experience wasn't like other ones I did with sex workers. It was very different, stuck in my head, but I know it was never love. I could never fall in love.

 

Whatever I might have said to her on bed that night was all lies, and I hope she doesn’t believe me because she is nothing to me.

 

As I got to my office, I saw Jaden standing at the door with his hands folded against his chest.

 

“What are you here for?” I asked, and he smiled. 

 

“Because you heard me threaten Diane, you decided to apply as a teacher here to save her. How long has my girlfriend been hooking up with you?” He questioned in a harsh tone as if I were his younger brother. I have heard he has no morals or respect because of his father, but he has no idea who I am.

 

“I have no business with you or your girlfriend. Now move yourself away from my door.

 

“So you are not here to protect her?” He squinted at me, dipping his hand in his pocket and bringing out another phone.

 

“You are talking.” I scoffed, and he displayed his phone screen to me, swiping and showing me Diane’s naked pics and videos.

 

“I am going to post all that. And you know the best one…” He smirked and showed me a picture of me and Diane in that club.

 

“I never knew this would be so important.” He said in a threatening tone.

 

“I wasn’t a teacher before that. I never knew she was a student here, and besides, she offered herself to me. Whatever you do to Diane has nothing to do with me. I don’t care a bit about her!” I scoffed, and Jaden snickered, looking over my shoulder.

 

“You heard that clearly, right?” He chuckled, and I turned sharply to see Diane behind me, tears glittering in her eyes.
