Chapter: Chapter {129}CHRISTIAN “Not at all,” he replied almost immediately, reaching forward and grabbing the telephone on his desk. “Hello, yeah,” he started once the call clicked, “can I have Mr. Sylas from the writing and communication department in my office, right away?” A pause, as whoever was on the other end spoke words I couldn’t quite hear. “Great,” he bit out a second later. “I’ll be waiting.” “Please, sit, will you?” The VC offered me a seat for the first time since I walked into his office, and I sank in with a knowing smirk. “Thank you for your interest in donating to our college, Mr. Christian,” he started, rising to his feet and coming around the desk. “Tea?” “No, thank you,” I replied in a flat tone. “And about the donation, it’s really not a big deal.” He nodded, smiling. “Thank you so much.” After a while, he cleared his throat. “Well I uh, I’m certainly shocked to find that you’re acquainted with Ms. Olivia, because I’ve never actually attended any of your..meetings and events

Chapter: Chapter {127}Christian’s POVI approached the desk with menacing steps, my eyes stinging.“Mr. Charles,” I started, my tone cold, “you know I could take this complaint right to the Title Ix office, right?”I paused a mile away from his desk, glaring down at him. “Don’t you think my approach is, by far, incredibly fair?”The man adjusted in his seat, adjusting his tie, wearing his discomfort on his sleeve.I snickered silently, pulling my eyes from his face to roam them round the office, from the shelf on the wall at the far corner, to the nameplate on his desk.Charles Kolly. Vice Chancellor, administrator.I cocked a brow in a slight grimace, sliding my gaze around the office again.For a VC, his office was quite small..He cleared his throat then, an indication that he was probably ready to start talking. “Uh,” he started, adjusting his glasses, “Mr. Blackwood,” he continued, “I understand your frustration, truly, and sexual misconduct is a vice that has never been overlooked, and will never be,

Chapter: Chapter {126}Sighing, I rocked back on the bed with hunched shoulders, popping a slice of cucumber into my mouth.As I chewed slowly, a thought suddenly occurred to me, and my eyes lit up with a sparkle.“How about this?” I asked, staring up at him with the best puppy eyes I could manage at that point.“What?” He queried, his brow slightly cocked as he stared down at me.“A baby shower…”He paused, watching me closely, as if considering it.“I mean,” I continued when it seemed like he would disagree, “it would be really nice to throw one, you know? It’ll help let off some steam, especially with all that’s happened lately, and my mom will also get to meet your family.”“So, yeah,” I flipped my hair backwards, “I think a baby shower is just perfect.”He still had that puzzled expression on his face. “A baby shower?”“Yeah,” I mumbled, nodding. “Don’t you know what that is?”“Well,” he sighed, “I might have some ideas about this…baby shower. But I’ve never been to one.”“Not to worry, then,” I breath

Chapter: Chapter {125}Olivia’s POV“My mom brought cucumber,” I announced, walking over to where Christian sat perched on the armrest of one of the sofas, with a plate in my hand.“Here,” I added, nudging the plate of freshly cut cucumbers closer to his chest. “Try some. I have to eat all this alone, and I would reallyy appreciate some help.”He glanced down at the plate in my hand for a while, his nose scrunched up. Then he shook his head. “Nah, thanks.”Sighing, I trotted towards the bed with a sullen expression, and sank into it, crunching on the cucumber.I watched him as he started to pull off his clothes, my mind trailing back to earlier in the day, when he had left the house.Why had he been in such a hurry? What had happened?Itching with curiosity, I kicked my legs against the bed stand.“Are you okay?” I asked, a tinge of concern in my tone.He said nothing at first, just kept on undoing the buttons on his shirt until the last one, then pulled it off, his jaw twitching the whole time.Finally, he

Chapter: Chapter {124}Everyone’s gaze was on my face, but I hardly saw anyone, my eyes burning with heated fury, that I barely managed to keep in reins.And Cain, instead of heeding my silent warning, stepped forward, drawing closer to me, a determined glint sparkling in his eyes.“I understand your position, Mr. Christian,” he started in that voice that seemed so off to me, grating on my nerves, “but Mr. Blackwood has given me permission to carry out this search,” he added, nodding in the direction of my office. “So I’m afraid you can’t stop me, or this.”What was it that was so off about him? I could fucking smell it heavily on him, but I couldn’t just pinpoint it.Glaring at him, my chest rose and fell in a choking anger, and I advanced towards him in slow, menacing steps.“I’ll say it just one more time, detective,” I bit out in a quiet voice, my jaw twitching painfully. “Get. Out.”He squared his shoulders again, the smile dissipating from his features. “This search, Mr. Christian,” he started in a co
