EVELYN’S POVStaring at the half filled room with students on one side and the others already on their way to the Sterling home, I read out the topic for the day, passing an attendance slip to Elroy who sat in the front row. I let his fingers graze my wrist, avoiding his eyes and staring only at the paper.“Since you all have given more thought to your studies, you’ve earned your merits” I announced with a strict expression on my faceThey didn’t respond with happiness, I mean who would. If I weren’t a Profressor, seeing Adrian Hale in real life would be one of the best things too.****After the lesson, I let them out thirty minutes early, packing up my things so I can get the weekend to myself when I felt his finger slide up my back.“What are you doing?” I whispered when his eyes met mine I noticed the class was already empty, leaving both of us alone in the brightly lit classroom. “Nothing” he smiled, it felt innocent but his actions didn’t. “I was thinking” he paused, leaning

EVELYN’S POVThe air felt stiff and for a minute I froze, my mind distant as his eyes locked on mine. Pulling away from him, I felt his hand on mine, putting my palm back on his chest “Let’s stay this way” he mumbled softly “Even if it’s for a little while” I felt the butterflies form in my stomach, not a hard knot of fear.“But you need to have dinner and head home” I responded, withdrawing from his space. Averting his eyes completely “The noodles’ are getting cold” I stated, taking my bowl of food.“Yes ma’am” he chuckled softly, undoing the apron and putting the hoop through the hanger and taking his meal almost immediately. We ate in silence as I did my best to avoid his questions, eyes and compliments "You’re done eating now, it’s time to go home” I stated the moment he put the empty bowl on the table.I gestured that he hand his plate over to me and when he did, his finger grazed mine slightly but I stayed calm, not letting his touch cause a scene“Why are you so obsessed w

EVELYN’S POVThe sound of her shoes clanking past me as she brushed past my shoulder was all I needed to know that Tiffany wasn’t just a spoilt rich child, she was a menace.“Better watch your back Evelyn” she whispered as she walked past, her scent of jasmine sifting through my nostrils. The rich sure had confidence, it was disgusting. Just when I made a turn to head down to the lounge, I felt a grip of my arm, his eyes caught mine “What are you doing?!” I asked almost in a yell, my back propped against the wall.“I wanted to talk to you all day but you were avoiding me” he said, paying no heed that this was a public setting and anyone who made a turn in seconds would see me propped up against the wall with his hands by my side blocking an escape.“I don’t have time for this” I whispered, peeking around me to see if anyone was coming, the hall was dry and empty. “There’s another lecture I need to attend” I stated, avoiding his gaze.“What about resting?” He asked, he leaned closer t

EVELYN’S POVThe air felt perfect when we made our way to my dorm, I held onto his hand, the bruise still evident on his knuckles “Let me clean that up” I saidPulling him in so I can get the first aid kit and dress his injury.I walked into the empty apartment, switching on the lights before heading to the kitchen and taking up the kit. He stood in the living room, hands in his pockets. “Please sit” I gestured to the sofa in front of him I would need to be quick with this so he could leave and I wouldn’t end up breaking the rules that do in fact keep this place safe.I took out his hand, the bruises looked stale, it had already been hours since we met that psycho. Taking the ointment, I applied softly on his bruise when I felt him tuck a strand of my hair behind my ear. “Why do you always result to violence? It looks really bad” I mumbled, blowing onto his injury without looking up.“I can’t let someone make you uncomfortable like that…also he might’ve done something worse” he repl

EVELYN'S POVHis voice caught me off guard, my name, no one else called me Evie, not Anya, not Elroy, my heart raced as my heart and brain had a conflict of whether to look at his face or to leave my groceries and make a run for it but I still had my heels on, how long would I run before my feet would start to ache?I listened to my brain, not looking up, I pulled out my pepper spray yet again and put it in his face as quickly as my hands could move "Fuck! Evie" he yelled out in pain, his voice didn't sound too familiar, yet I couldn't shake the feeling that it was him.I didn't wait around for him to recollect himself, I moved away from, watching him clutch his face in his palms, groaning but just when I tried to actually make a run for it"I'm not letting you go, not again" I felt his hand on my arm"Leave me alone!" I screamed with tears trickling down my cheeksHe sure was persistent, why wouldn't he be? He had been following me for a while. I lunged at him, using my purse as a w

EVELYN’S POVMy body refused to move, I fell onto the sofa, Anya’s phone leaving my hands, I heard the door open and there she was rushing towards me “Evelyn..Evelyn, are you alright?” She asked, helping me up.I pointed to her phone which faced down, almost broken “He…he called you, I don’t know how he found your number or how he’s doing all of this” I sobbed, this was becoming worse than I had imagined.“That’s it. I’m calling the police” she said, grabbing her phone and dialing the number.****I spent hours in silence, my body stiff as she talked to the cops, I didn’t bother to listen to whatever they said, my heart still raced at the thought of his voice, it felt like he was close to me, closer than before.“Evelyn” someone called out to me, I turned to look, it was Elroy, his knees on the floor next to me, his eyes searching mine, his hands on mine, his breath sounded heavy.“Wh..what are you doing here?” I asked, my voice muffled from the sobbing.“Anya called” he cupped my fac

Serena's POV I stared at Adrian with wide eyes as he began to pace, waiting for Jack to retrieve the videos. Jack was still fiddling around inside the car. After a while, he came back out with a laptop in hand. He walked straight to Adrian and handed the laptop over."I've downloaded most of the videos for today's events. I'll go through them to see who it was that bumped into her." Jack explained.Adrian snatched the laptop from his hands, instead."Not you, you're fired." He barked.Jack looked at him in confusion. He didn't seem to understand what was going. Then, his gaze slid to me and he finally understood."Dur, I...please...you....""I said you're fired!" Adrian cut in. "Since you let an inexperienced pregnant girl get past you, that .means you're shut at security and if I leave you around, who knows, she may eventually get kidnapped.""No, sir. That would never happen." Jack said."Get the hell out of my sight." Adrian retorted.There was no point arguing., so he turned to l

Serena's POV "What are you not telling me? I demanded.Gabriel chuckled nervously and stood up."I just don't want you to get yourself in trouble. Adrian is the head of the Mafia family in Sicily which means he's a very dangerous man. He's got eyes everywhere and will not be happy to find you looking in his business. So I don't think you should keep sniffing around." He explained.I exhaled in frustration."But if he knows something about my father's death, then I want to know it too." I protested."You father died in a car crash, Serena. It was an accident. I don't want you putting silly ideas in your head."I looked down and but my lip trying to hold back the tears that were starting to pool in my eyes."I just don't want you to get hurt." He said softly and tapped my back gently, calming me down.I sniffed and stood rubbing my palms against my jeans."I should go." I stated.Gabriel's face scrunched up in confusion"But you just got here." He whined. "Stay. I was just about to hav

Serena's POV By the time I took a shower and changed out of Adrian's shirt, I felt better about the events of last night and this morning.I also noticed I felt somewhat nauseous but I chalked it up to the pregnancy and ate a lot of mints to tamp it down.It was almost noon so I decided to go sit in the library and read.The minute I opened the door, it felt like I had teleported into a different universe. There were guards everywhere and I started to wonder why Adrian had installed all of them inside the house.I shut the door softly behind me and stepped out."Ma'am..." A voice cut through my subconscious and I whipped around to see who it was.Another guard. He had been stationed outside my door."What is it!" I asked.He cleared his throat and looked at me nervously."I'm sorry, but you're not allowed to go anywhere without permission." He said.I scoffed in disbelief."You're kidding, right?" I asked.He just stared at me.Angrily, I turned around and stormed down the stairs."M

Serena's POV Adrian's eyes moved between Bianca and I. Her hands were still tangled in my hair. Her nails digging in my scalp like she wanted to rip me apart. I refused to cry and give her the satisfaction of seeing her break me.The moment Adrian's voice interrupted, Bianca's grip loosened. Fear crossed her face, but she masked it immediately. Then, she let me go like I had burnt off her flesh."Let. Her. Go." Adrian demanded.Every word dropped slowly with venomous poison dripping out of them.I felt Bianca shiver at his tone. The fear she was trying to hide was now very evident. She laughed nervously."We.....we were just goofing around. That's all." She said "It's nothing serious"Her tone was laced with uncertaintyAdrian moved so fast, I didn’t even see it coming.One second he was behind us, the next his hand wrapped around Bianca’s wrist, yanking her away from me so hard she stumbled forward and almost fell"You don't ever fucking touch her! Am I clear?" He growled in a low t

Serena’s POV I walked back to my room on shaky legs with his scent wrapping all around me. It felt like my senses were on hyper alert. I stared at the ceiling for the next few hours, tossing and turning. Sleep was not forthcoming. I groaned and got up again, pacing the length of my room."What the hell just happened?" I asked myselfWhy was my body reacting this way to a man I barely liked? I shook my head trying to shake off the naughty thoughts running through them."Fucking hell" I sighed and went out of the room going straight to the kitchen I pulled out a bottle of water and drank it, hoping to drown the butterflies flickering in my belly.Next, I pulled out a giant tub of ice cream and plopped myself on the sofa to watch some TV"Hey," a voice said from the doorway.I yelped and turned around, Luca was standing in the doorway with a smile.I rubbed at my chest trying to calm my racing heart. I thought I was alone."Hey," I greeted back."Mind if I join you?" He asked.I shook

Serena’s POVAs I shut the door, my back stayed glued to the door. There was a tension in the air that I couldn’t ignore. The scent of him was everywhere—a dangerous mix of musk and citrus, and a dash of spirit. My eyes locked on his and my heart did a million backflips. He was leaning over his desk, and his body resembled a work of art. My eyes drew immediately to the tattoo from his neck covering his left arm…and that just made him even more sexy. And then my eyes travelled to his rock hard abs, and his v-line was carved to perfection and his—"You should be sleeping." he said, drawing my eyes away from his body. I cleared my throat, "I couldn't sleep," I whispered, hoping that my drooling wasn’t so obvious. "Come here." As he said those words, a current surges through me. He didn’t bark, he didn’t shout. His voice was so calm, yet it caused a storm to rage inside my belly.Against the loud voice screaming in my head that listening to him was a grave mistake, I walked toward
