All Chapters of Adeline's secrete: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Adeline had now acclimatized herself to the warmth and comfort of her dorm room, stacks of textbooks and notes sandwiched in every corner. She planned to have the whole afternoon to herself, studying, but somehow, she found it hard to concentrate. Her eyes remained fixed on the history textbook. Sebastian seemed to float over its pages. His smile, his eyes, and even the part when he told her to "Call me Sebastian, Adeline" rang in her thoughts. Adeline sighed and shut the book. Focus eluded her. It was difficult to contain all that excitement of working with Sebastian on the research project. With a groan, she got up from her study desk and began pacing the floor across the room, replaying their conversation. What did he see in her? Purely academic interest or something else?Adeline's phone buzzed and broke the trance. It was a text message from her best friend, Sophia."Hey Addie! What has got you glowing? Spill!"Adeline stood frozen, unsure whether to let hold the secrets of her h

Avery strolled into Sebastian's room, a wickedly gleeful grin plastered across her face. "Want a refill?" she asked, handing him a steaming cup of coffee. Sebastian raised an eyebrow, grateful for that added dose of caffeine. "Thanks, Ave." Again, Avery perched on the edge of his bed, surveying the chaos of books and papers. "Research trip, huh? Sounds fun." Most definitely, weighed down by the sip to his coffee cup just made,Sebastian answered. "Dr. Lee's project. We're unearthing some fascinating stuff." Avery's eyes sparkled. "Oh! Can I come too?"Sebastian's expression turned firm. "Ave, history's not your subject. Focus on your own studies." Avery pouted. "That's unfair. I'm interested."Sebastian's tone softened. "I get it, but this trip's for research purposes only. Besides, you'd distract me."Avery's grin returned. "Maybe that's the plan." Sebastian chuckled. "Sorry, Ave. Not this time." Avery sighed and stood up. "Fine. But promise me one thing.""What's that?" Sebastian as

The next morning, Sebastian knocked on Dr. Lee's door, his eyes shining with excitement."Good morning, Professor," Sebastian said. "I'd like to take Adeline on a side excursion today."Dr. Lee looked up from his papers, curiosity etched on his face."Where did you have in mind?" he asked.Sebastian leaned forward, his enthusiasm infectious."There's a small village nearby, nestled in the heart of the countryside. I've heard tales of an ancient cave surrounded by rocks, steeped in history."Dr. Lee's eyebrows rose."Ah, you mean the legendary Raven's Peak cave?"Sebastian nodded."Exactly. I believe it could hold valuable insights into our research."Dr. Lee nodded thoughtfully."Very well. Take Adeline and explore. But be cautious."Sebastian grinned."Thank you, Professor. I'll ensure our safety."Dr. Lee handed Sebastian a small map."Take this. It'll guide you through the village and to the cave. You'll need a local guide; I've arranged for one to meet you at the village entrance.

Dr. Lee leaned forward, his eyes shining with enthusiasm, as he addressed the research team gathered around the conference table. "Gentlemen, we have an extraordinary opportunity before us. This site, with its rich and diverse history, is a treasure trove of archaeological and cultural significance. Yet, despite its importance, it remains largely unknown to the general public."Sebastian nodded in agreement, his brow furrowed in concern. "That's precisely why we need to document and preserve this site. We can't let its historical value fade into obscurity."Dr. Lee continued, "Our research aims to uncover the hidden narratives of this place, from the ancient tribal village nearby to the enigmatic Cave of Raven Peak. By submitting our findings to the Heritage Department of the city, we hope to secure its status as a protected historical heritage site."Team member Rachel spoke up, "And it's not just the cultural significance, Dr. Lee. The natural beauty of this place is breathtaking. T

Adeline walked down the college hallway, her backpack slung over her shoulder, when she heard a squeal of excitement."Addie! Oh my god, I've missed you so much!" Sofia exclaimed.Sofia flung her arms around Adeline, nearly knocking her off balance."I've missed you too, Sofs," Adeline laughed.Sofia stepped back, her eyes sparkling."Tell me everything! What happened on the trip? You've been gone for weeks!" Sofia demanded.Adeline smiled."It was...eventful. We encountered some unexpected challenges," Adeline said.Sofia's eyes widened."Spill the beans! What kind of challenges?" Sofia pressed.Adeline hesitated."Let's just say I had a close call," Adeline said.Sofia gasped."Oh no! Are you okay?" Sofia asked.Adeline nodded."I'm fine now. But I did learn a valuable lesson," Adeline said.Sofia's expression turned mischievous."I bet Sebastian was there to save the day, huh?" Sofia teased.Adeline blushed."Maybe," Adeline admitted.Sofia squealed."I knew it! You two are meant t
