It has been a week since I have been confined here in one of the private rooms of the hospital. It has been two days since I gained consciousness. The bruises on my face has been healed, the only left were the lightening scars. My body is slowly recovering but I still can’t move freely. I have been needing somebody’s help to transfer from one place to another, like going to the bathroom. A female nurse is also assisting me. According to her, she was hired by Sir Hart to look after me, especially when he is not around. I am very thankful for his thoughtfulness.
Until now, my killers are still unidentified and they are not making any move again. But even so, I could not feel the slightest fear in me. I know that I won’t be harmed as long as Sir Hart is around. In a short time of our acquaintance, I quickly became comfortable with him. When I know he is around I am reassured because I know he won’t let anything bad happen.
Professor Fortez is always with me too. He goes

The next morning, I woke up feeling a man’s presence peering on my face. As I opened my eyes to see who the culprit was, I came face to face with the most handsome guy I have ever met. My bedroom appearance is reflecting in his dark eyes. Professor Fortez has a smirk on his face. His perfect facial features immensely attractive, a feast for the eyes. I felt my heart suddenly skipped a beat. Few seconds past as I froze. I, then, decided to break my gaze. My cheeks were blushing as I pushed over Professor Fortez lightly. “You look as beautiful as always even when you just woke up. There is nothing to be shy of, honey.” he said and chuckled playfully. My face reddened even more. “I want to use the bathroom.” I said without facing at his direction. I know to myself that I don’t look as attractive as him when I walk up. My hair should probably looked like a bird’s nest right now. I might have a mucus on my eyes and a trail of dried slime on the corners of my mouth. I know
“Professor, let’s stop here. My brain can’t take it anymore.” I complain to Professor Fortez. My temple is pulsing painfully. I reached my limit already. This Professor of mine is a monster. He is very strict while teaching me. He doesn’t like so many red marks on my paper. He wants everything to be perfect. “Your final exam is nearing. You should be reviewing a lot or else you’ll fail.” he seriously stated. Oh God! Having a personal tutor like him is a nightmare. Studying with him is so terrible! He wouldn’t let me have long breaks. He only allowed me to have short breaks such as water break, and every time I feel the need to use the bathroom. Every lesson is so stressing. I think I am going to die! Huhuhu… ‘Can’t he go easy on me? I am still confined in the hospital, a patient. He is so mean!’ I thought as I pouted my lips while looking at him from the side. “Don’t pout your lips, honey. I’ll bite that for you.” he spat the words ent
Outside, it was sunny Saturday afternoon in sleepy Emerald Wood’s Village on one of the seven thousand six hundred forty tropical islands in the Philippines. For a couple of hours now, I have been fidgeting in my seat. Since earlier, I have been battling in my head on whether to speak what’s on my mind or just to keep it to myself for the fear that in any moment, an angry lion would just grab and twist my neck if I make a mistake.Afraid to be scolded, I continue typing some phrases on the keyboard of my laptop. It’s for my essay in my English subject that will be due tomorrow. But from time to time, I would peek a glance to the guy sitting on the sofa across from where I am. To my surprise, that guy squinted his eyes towards my direction. I gulped a couple of times before shaking my head as if saying it was nothing. I turned my eyes on the screen in front of me to type some more words.---Judging people just by mere picture of themselves will end up
Midterm Examination of the school year’s second semester. Our department is noisy, everyone is chitchatting, laughing and cracking jokes. Everybody is chill as if there is no examination to take later. Well, what do you expect? We are the team summon after all, the batch who stays longer inside the Prefect of Discipline office than in our classroom. Not quite a while, a well-built man entered in our classroom. He walked straight to the teacher’s table. Every girl in our university admires him, and I would include myself too. He is tall, bulky, and handsomely serious. He doesn’t talk a lot, except when teaching his students. Personally, I hate Mathematics--- that is his subject matter--- because I can’t get its complexity! But when he became my professor, it seems that the tables have finally turned. Hahaha! I understand such term as congruency, orthogonally, tangency, inequality and many more. Those are new to me because it is the first time I learned about the existence
Professor Fortez advanced two steps to my direction. My eyes grew big at his action. “What are you doing?” I asked, alarmed at the little distance between us. “I’m not doing anything yet, honey but base from your reaction, I can say, that you are affected by my presence being near to you. I guess that is good, isn’t it?” he said, twitching the corner of his lips into a sly grin. “I-I’m not affected, stupid! Don’t call me HONEY that is not my name.” I said feeling annoyed. “Watch your words, hon. I don’t like girls that are cursing, especially MY GIRL.” He said, emphasizing the last two words. I got irritated on how manipulative he is. I am not the kind of girl who likes to be ordered around, duh! “Don’t fucking tell me what to do, you’re not my father!” I yelled right at him. “Don’t test me Tiara, I can do anything.” he said, annoyed. I despise to be controlled by anyone. I loathe the thought of being ordered around. My
‘Who said that I’m playing a game? I’m not fond of games too Tiara. I’m not acting like a jealous boyfriend of yours because I’m more than that! Why don’t you try to remember IT?!....’ I could foresee the emotion lurking in his eyes while saying those words. At that moment, I could foresee the emotion lurking in his eyes while saying those words. And those words never left my conscious mind since the night he had left me at the lobby. “Tiara!” a voice called out that broke me out of my thoughts. Breaking free from my trance, I turned my head toward the direction of that voice. “Zein!” I said out of surprise upon recognizing who it was. I definitely freaked out for I thought that it was someone else. I held my chest to help me calm myself but it is not effective. I feel like I’
“I’m serious here, hon.” he said. Oh shit! He’s really serious! I’m doomed! What am I going to do now?! He sounded so close and the hammering of my heart is not helping me either. His hot breath fanned the sensitive skin in my neck. The intoxicating feeling as it touched my skin made me open my eyes in an instant. “You’re stubborn.” said he. He heaved a sigh and shook his head as if expressing that I’m too impossible to deal with. ‘Stubborn?!’ my eyebrows met at what he called me. Annoyance is visible in my face as I looked at him. “Don’t look at me like that.” he said looking more annoyed than I am. I composed myself. I made sure that there wouldn’t be a hint of emotion in my voice when I replied, “Then, leave.” my eyes were as dead as a corpse too. He stared at me surprised, his eyes furrowed and his forehead creased. “Wait, now you’re mad at me?” he asked as if not believing what he is seeing in me.
I squinted my eyes at Sir Hart, well, I am more like glaring at him with my accusing eyes. I never told him anything about my background. It is obviously suspicious. He doesn’t look dangerous though so I don’t feel alarmed. He just comfortably sitting there. His lips are displaying a pleasant smile that any woman would love to see each day. His eyes are sparkling due to the light from the chandelier in the restaurant we are in. Is he my stalker? That thought almost made me roll my eyes to myself. I felt too conceited. He looked at me amused. “I didn’t lie. I’m actually here for vacation. You got it right, I am an agent but I filed a leave. I just want to enjoy life for a while. You’re too straight forward, Tiara. I haven’t encounter someone like you before.” he gently spoke while looking tenderly in my eyes. I gawked at him. “Should I panic now? You seemed to have background check me already before approaching me earlier.” I said sarcastically.
