LOGINProfessor Elara thought she had lost everything. Trapped in a toxic marriage to a cheating, abusive husband, she lived each day believing she was worthless just as he told her. With two pregnancies lost to his violence and a family that refuses to accept divorce, Elara resigned herself to a lifetime of misery. Teaching at a new university was supposed to be her one small escape… until she met him. Adrian, the campus’ cold and untouchable final-year student, was the last person anyone expected to have a heart. Unknown to all, he is also the secret billionaire CEO of the country’s biggest tech empire. He has wealth, power, and women at his feet but nothing ever stirred him. Nothing… until his new professor walked into the lecture hall. Beautiful, curvy, and heartbreakingly fragile, Professor Elara instantly became his obsession. Every glance set him on fire, every lecture drove him wild, and soon Adrian couldn’t think of anything but claiming her. Married or not, broken or not. He would make her see her worth. She belongs to him, and he won’t stop until she realizes it. A forbidden romance of obsession, healing, and passion begins between the broken professor who has forgotten how to be loved and the billionaire student determined to teach her what love truly means.

"Oh babe, you won't believe what happened at work today. There was a terrible crisis that only I could solve, so I had to do my best to fix it. I was so caught up in what I was doing that I had no idea time was running out and that my phone was switched off already. I ran straight to the restaurant as soon as I realized what the time was. I'm so sorry baby." He walked up to me and kissed me. "Forgive this husband of yours."Lies. All lies. Why exactly is he lying so much? What the hell was he doing ?I had all this questions but as usual I swallowed it. And just nodded my head like the fool I was. "Thank you baby. I knew you'll understand." He walked into the shower, leaving his clothes on the floor. I got up to pick them up and put into the laundry basket when I smelled something familiar.I breathed in the clothes.Where have I s
Elara POV :"Uhm.... Sorry." I said walking away. I could see Adrian trying to stop me from walking away but whoever the girl, maybe his girlfriend was trying to stop him. I quickly got into my car and drive off before he could get to me. "Fuck. Why did that sting so much." I breathed out. What was I expecting. I shook my head to get rid of every thought concerning Adrian and what I just saw. It's none of my business. I focused on driving and clearing my head.I was pissed off at Elliot for leaving me at the restaurant.He didn’t even have the decency to leave me any messages or call on why he couldn’t make it. And to top it off, he fucking lied to me. I called his work and he was said to have left a long time ago, even before I left work. So where the fuck is he?Why did he lie?Elliot POV:"Oh my baby." I said kissing my sweet girl.Clara smiled and kissed me back hard. Her hands went straight to my shirt. We were in her small apartment and I was supposed to be taking Elar
Elara POV : "Oh baby, I thought you were asleep already." Elliot said to me, trying to come closer to me, but I moved back avoiding his touch."What's going on here?" I asked them both."What's do you mean?""Don't play dumb with me Clara. You know what I'm talking about." "Baby it's nothing really." Elliot tried to convince me."So the fact that you both just came out of the bathroom together, is nothing, really Elliot?""Yeah it is. Clara just needed my help since you were asleep and she didn't want to disturb her little sister cause you just came back from work. So she wanted you to rest well. Isn't that right Clara.""Yes Elly. It is." She replied battling her eyes in a sad way like she can't believe I'm doubting her."Elly? Wow? Since when do you guys start with the nicknames."Elliot walked closer to me, "Don't overthink this baby. Let's go to bed." He kiss me, shutting me up before I can question them more. "Go to bed Clara. Good night, see you in the morning." With that he
Adrian POV :Hearing her call what we had a mistake broke me into part I never knew I had. I doubted every connection we ever had. I doubted my feelings towards her.I was mad at myself because I couldn’t be mad at her. It’s been hard trying to keep my eyes off her, even though I still stare at her in class but I make it less obvious. I don’t want her noticing it.“Sir, the Airway Tech Company will like to partner with us. They said they’ve got a deal that their company can’t handle alone and would like it if we can partner with them on it.” My secretary said.Forgot I was at work. I’ve been really busy as of recent, main reason why I missed Elara’s class that day.“What are they offering.” “Eighty, twenty.” “No deal.” “But sir, this will be good for us, we could profit a lot from this deal. How about we give them our own terms and percentage.” She suggested.“Hmm….. okay write up the terms and what we hope to benefit from this deal. Also sixty, forty. If they can’t accept that,
Elara POV:Two weeks later, It's been two weeks since everything happened and just like I wanted, unfortunately, Adrian doesn't even look me in the eyes anymore. He leaves class the moment class is over and everyone starts leaving. I try as much as possible not to let my eyes linger on him too much, no matter how hard it is.I guess that phase we had is over. At least now I can go back to how my life was before everything happened."Hey baby, what time will you be getting home." A text came in from Elliot. "Soon my love. I'll round up my things and be on my way."I returned the text. Quickly I packed up my stuff and head off to my car.Elliot has really been trying on working our marriage and I'm starting to believe maybe this is really about to be my new life without the whole toxicity, abuse and the rest. Pulling up to the house, I saw a familiar car at the front of the house but I wasn't sure if it was who I thought it was."Oh Elliot, I feel so sorry for you... having to deal
"I would not have you disrespect my husband. I do not care what you think you saw. Don't you dare ever say something like that to me again."My voice cut through the silence like a blade, sharp and shaking all at once. I could hear the slight quiver in my tone, but I didn't stop. I couldn't. I had to hold on to the little bit of control I still had.He just stared at me blankly, his face unreadable, his jaw tight. That look in his eyes, it wasn't anger. It was something heavier, something that made my stomach twist."You do not get to talk about my marriage," I continued, my breath coming out unevenly. "You don't get to stand there and act like you know everything. You don't know anything about what I feel or what I deal with."The air between us grew heavy. I could almost hear my heartbeat echoing in the stillness of the office.My eyes burned, and I blinked hard. I refused to cry in front of him. I wouldn't give him that satisfaction. I wouldn't let him see how much his words had sh
