تسجيل الدخولFabi pulled up to Selin’s building, parking smoothly in front of the modest apartment complex that stood in stark contrast to the sleek luxury of his car. Wordlessly, he stepped out and walked around to open her door, his large hands gentle as they rested on the frame.Selin slid out, her worn leather bag slung over one shoulder. When she turned to thank him, she found his gaze fixed on the peeling paint and narrow stairwell of her home.“Italy’s full of grand villas and upscale penthouses,” he said, his eyes meeting hers—dark and unreadable. “And you choose to live like this?”She stepped closer, her fingers finding the crisp silk of his tie and giving it a soft tug. “Mr. Fabi Grimes,” she said, a playful smile dancing on her lips despite the seriousness in her voice. “I’m not wealthy like you or your students. Luxury isn’t something I can afford—not with what I make tutoring part-time and working at the campus library.”A shadow of something warm crossed his face before it harden
Maria entered the classroom, her face a mask of mourning. Fabi had just rejected her on the spot, and the sting was visible. She slumped into her chair, ignoring the greetings of her classmates, including Selin and Laura."What’s with the face, Maria Rossi?" Laura asked."Mr. Grimes rejected me," Maria hissed, her face flushing a deep, embarrassed red."Seriously? You actually tried?" Laura asked, her voice full of shock. Then, she straightened her posture confidently. "Well, I’ll try my luck tomorrow. Maybe he won’t reject me. Or maybe he’s just been waiting for me all this time."In the corner, Selin let out a soft chuckle. "Laura, don't try it. Don't say I didn't warn you.""And why is that, Selin? What do you know about Mr. Grimes?" Laura shot back.Selin didn’t answer immediately. She simply shrugged and sighed heavily before speaking in a low, quiet voice."Mr. Grimes had someone in his past. He thinks that woman hurt him, but he doesn't know she’s still waiting for him to save
After Selin’s presumed death, Noah sought a way to make amends, even if she wasn't there to witness it. His investigation eventually led him to the small,Noah knelt in the damp grass of the cemetery, his fingers tracing the cold, unforgiving granite. The name Merve Sever stared back at him—a silent reminder of a lineage he had been purged from."She never used the name Miller," he whispered, his voice cracking under the weight of the silence. "Even for the baby. She stripped me of being a father before I even realized I had failed."He leaned his forehead against the stone, the chill of the grave seeping into his skin. "I was a fool, blinded by my own arrogance. If I could go back, I would burn the world to protect you both. But now, all I have is a cold grave and a name that was never mine to give."The lecture hall in Italy was a cathedral of marble and ancient dust, but the air inside was electric. Professor Fabi Grimes stood at the mahogany podium, his gaze cutting through the
Fabi straightened his tie, the silk feeling like a noose as he caught Selin’s gaze. She was curled over a book, seemingly oblivious, yet the air between them hummed. She hasn’t changed, he thought, his pulse quickening. “Those same haunting eyes, that midnight hair... she is still the Selin I lost.”Steeling himself, he took his place behind the mahogany lectern. "Good morning, class. I am Fabi Grimes, your new professor," he announced, his voice a practiced mask of professional indifference. "Before we dive into the Conjoined twins separation, I’d like to get to know you. Please, introduce yourselves."The room filled with the drone of names and ages. Laura and Maria spoke, but Fabi barely heard them. Then, Selin stood. She rose with a lethal elegance, her movements fluid and full of grace."My name is Selin Sever. I am twenty-five," she said simply. Her voice was steady, her eyes locking onto his with a challenge that made his blood simmer. She sat back down before he could r
The next morning, Selin sat in the lecture hall alone. As usual, she was the Punctual Student of the Year, arriving long before the first bell. To kill time, she curled up with a heavy medical text on the surgical separation of conjoined twins. It was a complex topic, one not yet covered in their curriculum, but she had a mission the new professor was being introduced today. She needed to impress him, no matter what. A recommendation letter from him was her golden ticket to Grimes Med, the most prestigious surgical center in the country.Outside, the quiet campus atmosphere was shattered by the low of high-performance engines. A sleek, midnight-black Rolls-Royce swept through the university gates, flanked by two black SUVs. Students stopped in their tracks, jaws dropping as the motorcade came to a halt.Inside the lead car, a driver glanced at the rearview mirror, whispering cautiously, "Mr. Grimes, of all the things you could do today... why play professor?""Selin Sever," the man
As the days bled into weeks, months, and eventually years, Selin had solidified her place as the top student in her class. However, the academic quiet was broken by a wave of rumors rippling through the classroom about their new professor.“I heard the new professor is arriving today,” Maria whispered to the group. Her eyes flickered toward Selin with a mischievous glint. “I bet Selin will be the one to catch his eye. She’s the smartest one here, and word is the man is incredibly handsome—and single.”“Maria, stop it,” Selin replied, a smirk playing on her lips, her Italian accent softening the rebuke.Maria had been Selin’s first true friend in Italy. They had navigated their studies together, balancing long nights in the library with the occasional wild party.“A student-professor romance... imagine that,” Maria teased, prompting a chorus of laughter from their classmates.“Oh, come on,” another student chimed in. “Once you see him, you’ll probably be fantasizing about him in the
