Maya's POV

My mom turned and saw us. “Good, you’re up,” she said, her voice unreadable.

The female officer turned as well. I recognized her instantly, Detective Rowan.

Of course. Who else?

“Morning, girls,” she said, nodding.

“Morning,” we replied almost in sync, but neither of us moved any closer.

“What’s going on?” I asked carefully, my heart already picking up pace.

“Detective Rowan stopped by,” my mom said slowly, “to ask some follow-up questions. Apparently, the boy who was arrested yesterday has started talking.”

My heart skipped, no, slammed.

Theresa cleared her throat. “Did he did he say something new?”

Detective Rowan raised an eyebrow slightly, watching both of us like she was trying to see through our faces. “He gave us some information that needs verifying. Nothing solid yet. But I thought it was important to come myself.”

My mom crossed her arms. “She hasn’t told me anything about this ‘boy’ until yesterday. Imagine my shock finding out all this.”

Rowan nodded. “Understa

  • Claimed By My Professor,Loved By His Son:A forbidden bond   Alone With Him

    Maya's POVI adjusted my shoulders a bit square, gritting determination into my voice. "I'm fine. The problem is, my mom. I don't think she'll let me go if she's not absolutely sure I'm all right. But don't worry, I'll figure out how to get around her."Andrew sighed and glanced down at his phone. "My friend isn't answering my call. I'm going over there so I can tell him about the yacht in person.""I'll go with you," Regan offered on impulse."I want to go too," Theresa said, then paused, looking at me. "But Maya can't stay home alone."Regan shook his head again. "Then I'll stay with Maya if you do plan to leave."Andrew smiled reassuringly at me. "I'll be right back, okay?"Theresa touched my shoulder lightly, her tone teasing but restrained. "Take care of my best friend when I'm not around," she said to Regan.Regan nodded, his gaze for an instant met hers. "Don't worry. I'll take care of her."And that was it, Theresa and Andrew were both gone, with only the two of us- me and Reg

  • Claimed By My Professor,Loved By His Son:A forbidden bond   He's leaving

    Maya's POVThe sound of faint voices drifted up from the stairs, muffled but growing clearer. Theresa was talking to someone. Whoever it was, their arrival bought me more time. Time to decide whether to keep burying the secret or risk pulling it out into the open.I pressed a hand against my chest, trying to slow my heartbeat. For now, maybe silence was safer. For now, maybe the truth could wait.Minutes later, Theresa returned to the room, but she wasn't alone, I could hear more than one foot steps from my room.I quickly took my phone and pretended to scroll on my phone.The door opened, and their voices carried in before I even looked up.“Hey, Maya,” Andrew said warmly, holding up a small bag. “I brought snacks.”“And I,” Regan added with a small grin, “brought fruits. Healthy balance.”I smiled, genuinely touched. “Thank you, both of you.” I sat up straighter. “How are you guys doing?”Andrew dropped the bag on the table, pulled out a chair, and sat down with that relaxed way

    Maya's POVLater, Theresa stepped out of the bathroom wearing a white towel wrapped around her waist. "Come on, Maya, you rest while they are coming."I trailed behind her, still dressing, and unfolding my body lotions.Theresa washed herself, and started getting dressed beside me. "You know," she said softly, "I truly do care what is best for you, Maya."I looked her in the eye, my voice soft. "I know. I just wish sometimes you'd let me make that choice."She smiled a little before she reached out and grasped my hand. "Perhaps I should. But let's just wait and see what occurs at the moment."I nodded slightly.Once I had gotten dressed, I sat down on the bed and regarded Theresa."If they come, just have them come up," I said to her. "I don't want to have to strain myself to go down again."She nodded readily. "I don't think they'll mind that at all."There was a knock at the door downstairs immediately."I'll get it," she said, dashing off.In less than a minute, she was back wit

  • Claimed By My Professor,Loved By His Son:A forbidden bond   Breakfast

    Maya's POVI crossed my arms and glared at Theresa."Why did you tell them I was sick, Theresa, without even consulting me?" I asked, my voice sharper than I intended to employ.Theresa, half lying against the edge of the bed, did not even flinch. "There wasn't anything I could do," she answered practically, as if the question had already been decided before I spoke. "Besides, I thought you could use their company too."I was infuriated by her lack of reaction. I resented it when she responded as if she knew me better than I knew myself."And at what hour are they going to arrive?" I demanded, at least attempting to have some idea I could get my head around.She shook her head. "They did not state. I don't know whether they'll be arriving together or separately either."I took a slow breath, attempting not to let my rage get the better of me. "Alright. No problem," I muttered, although in my mind it was a long way from 'no problem'.Theresa gazed at me for a moment, considering whet

  • Claimed By My Professor,Loved By His Son:A forbidden bond   Bed Time

    Maya's POVFor an instant, I thought I would answer. I could just tell him I was fine. One-minute call. That would not be hurting anybody, would it?But then I looked up to notice Theresa walk into the room, and sit on the edge of my bed, scrolling through her phone. I was not going to be able to discuss him with her present. I hadn't even told her about him. I didn't know if I was ready yet.I let the phone ring until it died, then quickly flipped it over into airplane mode and shoved it under my pillow. Out of sight. Out of mind."You're not answering that?" she asked, glancing over at me."Wrong number," I fibbed hastily.She rolled her eyes but did not ask again. "I'm going to shower," she said instead, standing up and taking off her top.I sat beside the bed, watching her go into the bathroom. The door clicked shut and a minute or so afterwards I heard the water running. There was silence in the room that was just a tad too acute.It was a minute before Mom knocked on the door

  • Claimed By My Professor,Loved By His Son:A forbidden bond   Going Home

    Maya's POVAs we descended the stairs, I caught a small sense of pride that we had arrived.The girl smiled when we were exiting her room, and I noticed that while not fully well, having us there gave her something to hold on to.Mom and the girl's mom stood up at the same time when we walked downstairs."Thank you again," the woman said to Mom. "It's a big deal that you brought them.".Mom smiled with warmth. "No need to thank us. We just wanted to show some support.""We'll come back again soon," I said, and Theresa nodded next to me."Yah, we'll check on her. We gave our word."The woman escorted us to the door, still appearing genuinely appreciative.When we got into the vehicle and Mom turned the key in the ignition, the orange color of the sunset deepened across the sky like a cozy blanket.I rested back into the seat and sighed, not a tired sigh, but happiness."That lady is just sweet," Mom said, fiddling with the mirror. "You can just tell she brought that girl up right.""Sh
