All Chapters of Her Professor: Chapter 11 - Chapter 19

P E A R LWhat did this woman just say?My heart was hammering by the second as I dumbly stared at her. What was going on? Why did she call him her husband?“I asked you a question. What are you doing with my husband?”I immediately ended the call and jumped out of the bed. I was doomed. I have been sleeping with a married man. I came on a trip with a married man. I let a married man sleep with me. Jesus.I stopped and thought in the direction of Anthony. He had deceived me! He should have told me he was married and now, there is probably a curse looming over my life because of my stupidity. I just met this man, I knew nothing about him, only to find out he is married. Anger started to creep into me. He hid this from me and now, his wife had seen my face, and I couldn’t tell if she would find me and that meant… The school may find out. I felt filthy at that moment and wanted to leave, to run but I was in another country. Far away from home. How was I supposed to leave? Right now, I w

PEARLIt was the next day and I was glad that I did not have Anthony’s class. I was also happy that I had not seen signs of him since the last time we saw each other. Staying far away from him was the best thing to do as I knew that seeing him or having him so close would force my body to act like a fool. My only prayer was to be logical during the class trip to his company, which I still curse him for.“Pearl?”I snapped out of my deep state of thought when I heard some call to me. I blinked and looked around for who it was then smiled upon making eye contact with Lee. He was walking up to me with a girl beside him. I recognized her as someone in another department, but the same faculty and I had a feeling it was another fling of his.“You’ve not been looking okay for almost two days now. Is everything okay with you?” He asked and placed a hand on my shoulder.I smiled. “I’m fine, Lee. I have just been stressed from school activities. I am doing just fine.”“Nah. Your answer sounds f

PEARLA week had gone by since I ended things and so far, my life was heading in the right direction.Professor Marison stopped coming to class and his assistants were the ones teaching us and this time, they taught well and precisely to our understanding. It was surprising but better than before, which all of us were enjoying.On the other end of my life, Lee and I had somehow gotten close, and I was loving it. We texted each other more often than before. He always came to pick me up from my dorm to class and would always take me back. Something had changed in our relationship, and I was ready to embrace it. Except… I was feeling empty.Not seeing Anthony made me feel as if I was missing something. It made me feel sad and confused. He did not announce that he was going away until his assistant told us he wanted them to take over. It was odd, especially when he promised to take over the class. I wondered if it had to do with the fact that I now knew he was married or the fact that Lee

PEARL’S POVI must have heard wrong.Anthony Marison did not just say those words to me, did he? Was he being serious right now? Why was he suddenly acting differently? Why was he acting worse than the day we met each other after our one-night stand? Why was I even bothered that Anthony Marison, the man I thought was married, wanted to set things straight. What was wrong with me?“I… Um… Okay.” I didn’t know what to say.Anthony scoffed and walked to another corner of the room with his hands in his pockets and face stoic. I could not tell what he was thinking. I wished I could read his thoughts through his eyes, but I couldn’t. It was as if he was a different person. He looked like a stranger to me, and it hurt.“What?” He scoffed again. “Why do you look so disappointed? Did you not want this to end? You told me you want nothing to do with me anymore and I was acting like a boy, chasing after you to tell me what I did wrong… You say I am married… Yes, I am. What we had was a mistake a

Anthony’s POVPanic filled me as she clinged to me while panting hard. Her body was shaking, and I could not help but wrap my arm around her shoulder then pulled my phone out of my pocket. I turned on the flashlight, lighting the elevator. I looked down at her and saw her slowly begin to calm down.“Take deep breaths,” I said, and she inhaled and exhaled to my hearing.Why the fuck was this elevator still giving issues even after I told them to change it last month? Now, I was stuck here with the one person I was desperately trying to avoid. My heart was hammering faster by the second with every move of her warm hands on my arm and chest. She was not making matters better for me.“Miss. Williams.” I cleared my throat. Even though I was distressed about her condition, I needed to keep a formality between us.I felt her flinch before her hands moved away from my body. She muttered something under her breath before moving away from me.“Sorry,” she said and moaned.I ignored her and dial
