Maya's POV

Regan's jaw locked as he watched the guy from across the riverbank.

"I'm going over there," he snarled, taking one step forward already.

"No, wait," I grabbed his arm. "Don't be dumb."

Right, Theresa interjected quickly, "We don't know if he's carrying or if he had someone with him. We can't presume anything here."

Regan's nose scrunched up. "He was on the CCTV, Maya. He's somehow connected to Ben. He might be the killer, too.".

"Right," I replied flatly, "That's why we have to be smart about it. If we spook him or warn him, he'll likely get away before we know who he is. Let's just play dumb and observe."

Regan scowled in annoyance, but after a moment or two, he nodded. "Alright. But we need to get some substance on him."

We can call the police on him," I said. "But we need a name or something they can work with. Just remain calm for now."

Andrew happened to approach us at that time, one hand holding a cooler and the other holding a Bluetooth speaker. He was smiling, but

    Maya povI didn't respond.The door closed behind him, muffled the voice of his threat, but damage had already been done.Regan's eye flashed up. "What was that about?""Nothing," I said quickly.Andrew stepped forward. "He was addressing you, Maya.""Probably just attempting to scare me," I said, attempting a smile that had no hope of making it to my eyes.Theresa did not say a word, but I could feel her gaze still on me.The wheels skidded away, red brake lights disappearing into the woods.I breathed in deeply.The threat lingered in my head.And now that the police were involved, and my friends were accusing me more and more by the second, it was only a matter of time before the news got around."Let's return to the party. Everyone must be seeking us."Theresa nodded, clearly relieved. "At least one of them has been apprehended. That's something."But I wasn't prepared to budge yet. My feet felt rooted to the ground of the forest, my heart pounding from the last statement by the g

  • Claimed By My Professor,Loved By His Son:A forbidden bond   Fight or Flight

    Maya's POV"Let him go," I told them quickly, panting, stepping in beside Theresa. "Please."Regan and Andrew refused to move, though. Their eyes were still on him, and they kept closing the distance between them.Tell us who told you to spy on Maya," Regan commanded, his tone as cold as ice.The man let out a harsh snort of laughter. "You think I'm going to spill it, easy? I'm not a moron.""You're not going anywhere," Andrew growled. "So talk.".The man again flashed the knife, his eyes wild with rebellion. "The last person who ever tried to speak ended up dead, you know? Or did you somehow forget about Ben?"The words struck like a punch, and I could sense Theresa flinch beside me."No one's going to hurt you," Theresa told him softly, her hands lifted in a gesture as if to push someone back from the edge. "If you tell us the truth, we can protect you.""Protect me?" he laughed. "You think you can? You can't even protect yourselves."Andrew inched forward again."I said not one s

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

    Maya's POVWhat?What the actual hell?How did he know that?That was a secret that had been buried in my chest like a ticking time bomb. And now… some stranger, a suspected killer, someone who might have had a hand in Ben's murder, just said it out loud like it was no big deal.I could feel the heat drain from my cheeks."You have no idea what you're talking about," I stuttered, shaking. He grinned, showing me the edge of his teeth, as if he enjoyed watching me squirm. "Oh, I do," he said. "And let me tell you, I'm not the only one who knows."I could feel my knees shake, but I straightened up. I wasn't going to let him know that. Not ever.I was about to say something, anything, when I had the certain hand on my shoulder.Andrew."What is going on here?" he asked, voice cool but firm. Protective.The smile on the man's face faltered. He nodded once at Andrew, stepped aside, and munched on his chips as he went away as if this had not happened at all.I was stuck there, still starin

    Maya's POVI leaned back against the car seat and watched Theresa as she scooped another forkful of jollof rice into her mouth. “I knew Regan even before you and I got close.”That piqued my interest, though I tried not to show it.“Back then,” she continued, “I traveled to the school where Regan was studying. My aunt’s a professor there, you know, the short woman with the glasses that looks like she could curse you with her eyes?”I chuckled a little, not because it was funny, but because I was trying to keep her talking.“She teaches Sociology,” Theresa added. “Anyway, I stayed with her for a while. Met Regan there. We bonded over the fact that I stayed in the same neighborhood he grew up in. He was shocked at first, kept asking if I knew some random people I had never heard of. But yeah, since then, we’ve been friends. That’s pretty much it.”I kept my face neutral. “That’s all?”She nodded. “Yeah. That’s basically the story.”I stared at her for a second, not saying anything.

    Maya's POV"What did you say?" he asked, his voice grating because he continued to thrust."They're here," I replied, struggling not to moan."Then we better hurry," he growled, and withdrew.I was expecting him to tell me to dress up but instead he scooped me up and I let out a gasp.He threw me on the bed and climbed on top of me, and before I could even say anything, his dick went inside me once more, while his mouth lay on my boobs.Then he rammed in and out quickly. My chest tightened as I reached the climax point."Maya," I heard Regan shout downstairs, but I could not answer. I was lost."I'm coming," professor Logan whispered softly.My body shook when I came hard and fast, and he thrust himself into me with one harsh push.And then he got up immediately, and told me to wash up in the bathroom quickly.I went into the bathroom and took a quick shower. I was back in five minutes. When I came out, professor Logan was already dressed.He gave me a towel and I washed myself and go
