Maya's POV

Theresa knocked softly on my door. “Maya? It’s time to go,” she said. “The police said it’s safer if you don’t stay here tonight.”

I looked up at her. “Yeah, I know,” I said. My voice sounded calm, but inside, everything was a mess.

My heart was still thudding in my chest like it hadn’t calmed down since the police left.

“Okay,” Theresa said, lingering for a second. “I’ll wait for you downstairs.”

I gave her a small nod. “Just give me a minute, okay?”

She stepped back, her footsteps retracing as she went downstairs.

I got up from the bed. My legs felt wobbly; any little push and I'd fall to the ground like someone who hasn't eaten in days.

I took one last look in the mirror, tied my hair back. I noticed how tired my eyes looked, but at least I looked normal. They didn't beat me or worse, kill me like one of them suggested.

I grabbed my bag and went downstairs. Theresa was by the door, checking her phone.

“Ready?” she asked.

“Yeah,” I said. “Let’s go.”

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

    Maya's POVJust when I thought the silence would continue until Andrew comes back.“You cut your hair,” Regan said suddenly, his voice low, deep, unshakable.I flinched. I didn't cut my hair, I knew he was obviously looking for an excuse to talk to me.So much for pretending.I turned slowly to face him, my lips tight. "I would have preferred you keep your observations to yourself, Regan. Why did you have to disturb the peace.”He smirked. “I figured I’d break the tension. It was choking Theresa.”Theresa cleared her throat awkwardly. “I’m just gonna check if Andrew needs help finding the car.”Coward.She practically bolted, leaving me with him.He turned slightly toward me. “Maya-"“No,” I snapped. “Don’t. I don’t want to hear it.”“You don’t even know what I was going to say.”“I know enough,” I said. “You always show up when I least want you, say something clever, and disappear before the damage settles.”His eyes narrowed slightly. “That’s what you think I do?”I shrugged

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

    Maya's POVNo. Freaking. Way."Andrew?" I whispered.Leaning against the car with arms folded, there was a most awful and cocky grin on his face-a grin that I had not seen almost all year! Unmoving, I gripped the door handle as if it were going to save me from drowning in shock. "Hey, Maya," he said hoarsely. "What the hell?" I muttered, turning toward Theresa. "You never told me it was him." She shrugged. "Well, surprise." For that, I gave her a death glare. "Are you serious right now?" Theresa snickered. "Oh, come on. It's not like he's a serial killer."And you guys dated ages ago.”“Exactly,” I snapped. “We dated. Past tense. There’s a reason for that.”Andrew took a few steps forward, looking amused. “Relax. I’m just the ride, not your boyfriend.”I groaned. “I don’t think I want to go anymore.”“Oh, please,” Theresa said, nudging my side. “We already got dressed. You made me bathe in your apartment and everything.”I hesitated. She had a point. We did just spend half an h

    Maya's POV"I'm not going anywhere on an empty stomach," I stated, arms securely crossed over chest.Theresa rolled her eyes, laughing. "Fair. We'd better eat. I'm already starving."I raised an eyebrow and gazed at what she was wearing. "Aren't you changing at home?""Ah, no," she patted her tote bag. "I came prepared. Got my clothes, makeup, even my perfume. I'll shower here."I gave her a narrow-eyed look. “You planned this, didn’t you?”She winked.I sighed. “You do know that tomorrow’s Monday, don’t you? A bonfire party way too close to getting back to school sounds like something we’ll both regret in class.”Theresa shrugged already heading to the refrigerator. "It's a risk worth taking."I, however, shook my head and followed her. We moved about the kitchen in rhythm, chopping vegetables and debating whether to add too much pepper. Finally, the smell of the stir-fry filled the air, pleasant enough to gradually dissolve the tension I hadn't yet been aware of.Theresa settled

    Maya's POVI was about to pull the trigger when the person came into view.it was no stranger, it was Theresa.I lowered the gun immediately and let out a shaky breath. My hand was trembling.I was aghast that I almost shot her. Guilt and frustration engulfed my entire being, and I turned back toward room and hastily shoved the firearm into the wardrobe underneath a top layer of folded jeans.This whole incident was playing with my head: I was getting unnecessarily paranoid.I had just closed the wardrobe when a familiar voice called, "Maya?"Turning around, there she was, still hair disheveled, but with a calm face, standing in the door."I didn't even hear you come in," I said, trying to sound casual.She entered and looked around. "I saw you cleaning up. Everything okay?"I nodded. "My mom called. She’s coming back tomorrow evening."Theresa raised her brows. "That’s not too bad. I mean, she’s a military consultant. That means you’ll have serious protection around."I dropped onto
