LOGINYou shouldn’t be here, Fiona,” his deep voice rasped against her ear, his hand still pressed against the wall behind her. “Then tell me to leave,” she whispered, her lips trembling inches from his. He didn’t move. He didn’t breathe. And in that moment, she knew he wanted her just as much as she wanted him. Fiona Harry has lived her whole life in a golden cage of wealth, reputation, and suffocating rules. University was supposed to be her escape, her first taste of freedom. But nothing could prepare her for the moment she came face-to-face with Professor Jalen Hart, her father’s best friend. One reckless night changes everything. A drunken mistake turns into an irresistible obsession, pulling her deeper into Jalen’s forbidden world. But secrets don’t stay hidden forever. Between Jude, her possessive friend who knows too much, Marian, Jalen’s wicked wife, and the dangerous power of desire, Fiona is about to risk not only hers and her family’s reputation but her entire future. And what happens when the truth comes out especially to Marian?
View More“Bunny, I’m in here,” he called. His deep, husky voice echoed faintly from a distance, pulling me in like a magnet. I paced through the red, dimly lit hallway in a spinning motion, trying to find where the voice was coming from.
My heart pounded hard—scared yet curious, terrified yet drawn closer—until I reached an entrance. A bright light spilled through the cracks of a wooden door. His voice came again, clearer this time. “Bunny, I’m right here. Don’t keep me waiting.” I pushed the door open, and our eyes met. The light washed over him, highlighting every sharp line of his body. His sculpted abs flexed as he rose from his seat, and I shamelessly drooled over him from head to toe. Heat stirred inside me; I felt a twitch of longing I could not control. He walked towards me in slow, commanding steps. In an instant, he pinned me against the wall, his strong hand holding me firmly in place. “What took you so long? You know I hate waiting,” he murmured, tracing my jawline with his long fingers. His piercing gaze burned through the mask covering half his face. I wished desperately to see the rest of him. “I… I’m sorry,” I whispered, my heart racing like a drum. He leaned in, capturing my lips in a fierce kiss. His hands cupped my breasts, pinching my nipples until a cry slipped out of me. “Ohh…yes,” His tongue raided my mouth, hungry, demanding, and I melted into the pleasure he poured into me. My body trembled; my toes curled. It was unlike anything I had ever felt before. “More… please,” I pleaded breathlessly, guiding his hand down to my already wet thighs. But he resisted, pinning my hand back to the wall as his lips devoured mine. His groans vibrated against me, teasing, tormenting, igniting. My orgasm built rapidly, and his fingers on my nipples drove me to the edge. “You’ll only take what I give,”he groaned. “My little bunny, I like it when you’re at my mercy Fiona,” he murmured between my lips as his fingers find my entrance, pinching my clit so hard. I felt a surge of pleasure pulling my orgasm closer. “Oh… ohhh, I’m gonna cum,” I moaned desperately. Then— Snap! The sound jolted me back to reality. My chest heaved as my eyes flew open. My alarm clock buzzed on the bedside table. Another dream. My heart sank. For years, I’d been haunted by this recurring dream—always ending at the same point. Always leaving me aching. And worst of all, I never saw his face but his voice never left my head. I pressed a pillow over my face, muffling the frustrated scream clawing at my throat. My messy room surrounded me—sketch pads and paintbrushes scattered from last night’s work. I dragged myself out of bed, groggy but hopeful. Today was the day I had been waiting for—the day my admission letter from the University of Arts would arrive. I rushed into the bathroom, then hurried out minutes later, slipping into a dress before racing downstairs. “Don’t be stupid Fiona, stop running. You’ve been warned several times,” my mother snapped, her voice sharp. “Yes, Mum,” I answered quickly, slowing my pace. “And why are you just waking up at this hour?” my father’s deep voice followed, laced with disapproval. “I slept late,” I mumbled. “Again? I think it’s high time we take that device from you until you learn to sleep early,” he scolded, glaring at me over his breakfast plate. “But Dad… I’m sorry,” I whispered. Mr. and Mrs. Harry—my parents. Strict to the bone. I used to think being an only child would make them spoil me. Instead, my life was a prison of endless rules. No friends. No outings. No television for more than an hour every three days. Limited use of my phone. And countless household chores. My father showed mercy occasionally, but my mother? She never missed a chance to make my life harder. Sometimes, I wondered if they were really my parents. But none of that mattered now. Once my admission came through, everything would change. “And where are you going?” my father’s voice cut through my thoughts as I approached the door. “My admission letter is supposed to arrive today, remember?” I replied, my lips curving into a cautious grin. I dared not smile too wide, or they would think I was being careless with my joy. For a moment, silence engulfed the air before I finally got the chance to step outside. The courier van had just driven away when I reached the mailbox. My heart leapt as I saw the envelope with my name on it. Excitement surged through me—I almost tore it open right there. But tradition forced me to turn back. My father had to be the one to open it. I ran back inside and handed it to him. He didn’t delay, surprisingly. Tearing it open, he read silently while I tried to act calm, sitting at the table. “Hmm… for once, I’m proud of you,” he said. My chest filled with fire. I got in. My mind screamed it, though I kept my body composed. “Thank you, Dad,” I replied softly. “You did your best,” he added, “but we’ll see if you can keep up with the work and not be an embarrassment to us.” Mum concluded. “I won’t, Mum,” I answered quickly when she scoffed, her words sharp enough to cut but I was used to it already. The rest of the morning passed quietly. I cleaned the dishes, then slipped back to my room, closing the door behind me—I screamed silently, giggling and wiggling at the same time. Excitement bubbled inside me. I picked up my phone to search for the university pictures, and my imagination soared. I sketched one of the buildings in my pad, dreaming of my first day, until the doorbell rang downstairs. I hurried downstairs. The moment I opened the door, a pleasant, familiar scent wrapped around me. “Fiona, dear, how are you?” the woman asked warmly. “Good morning, please come in,” I said politely. “I’ll get my parents.” I muttered. But my eyes kept stealing glances at the two familiar strangers, especially the man, they seemed to be a couple. Moments later, my parents joined them. “Oh, Marian, Jalen—welcome! Please, make yourselves comfortable,” my father said, his smile wide, and unusual. It startled me to see both of my parents beam so openly. The couple were family friends. The man—Jalen—was my father’s best friend. My heart skipped as I looked at him. I remembered that charm, that presence. I had admired him since childhood, before he married Marian and stopped visiting. Yet, seeing him now, the pull toward him felt just as strong, maybe even stronger. “Fiona has grown so big,” Jalen remarked with a smile. And my heart froze. “That voice…” I thought.Jalen’s POVHarry’s question hit me like a punch to the gut. We sat in the quiet hospital hallway, the fluorescent lights buzzing overhead. “Have you really thought about how I’ll feel when you’re with my daughter, Jalen? Truly thought about it?”I froze. My mouth opened, but no words came out. The question touched a raw part of me I hadn’t fully confronted—the part that felt selfish, inconsiderate for falling so deeply in love with my best friend’s daughter. Guilt twisted in my chest. Harry had been like a brother to me once, and here I was, entangled in a relationship that had brought danger into his only child’s life.The silence between us stretched, deafening and heavy. I could hear the distant beeps of monitors from nearby rooms, my own heartbeat thudding in my ears. Harry watched me patiently, his eyes filled with a mixture of pain, love, and exhaustion.Finally, he spoke again, his voice low and measured. “I’ve come to terms with it, what's between you and Fiona… It’s strong.
Jalen’s POVMorning was filled with so much relief and hope, and my hopes were getting high. I had just ended the call with Mason; he had invited me to court for Marian's sitting. Hours later, I arrived at the courtroom that immediately felt suffocating, heavy with the weight of justice finally catching up. I sat rigidly in the gallery, my jaw clenched so tight it ached. Marian stood before the judge, her usual arrogance cracked but not entirely gone. Jude sat a few rows away, our eyes meeting briefly in shared resolve. We had both testified—laying bare every threat, every manipulation, every moment of terror she had inflicted on Fiona. My voice had been steady as I described the fear in Fiona’s eyes during that video call, the gun pressed to her head, the explosion that nearly stole her from me forever.The judge’s gavel came down like thunder as she called out the order. Ten years in prison for Marian, thanks in part to her father’s lingering influence pulling strings for a lighter
Marian’s POVI cut through the woods as fast as I could, my breath itched so hard but I kept going. The woods were a nightmare of snapping branches as I cracked through them, my designer heels long discarded, my bare feet tearing on roots and stones I could barely feel the pain. Jordan gripped my hand tightly, pulling me forward. Behind us, distant shouts and flashlight beams sliced through the trees—Mason’s team was closing in fast on us.“Faster!” I hissed, my breath ragged. Adrenaline surged through my veins, mixing raw fear with a wild thrill. We had the money and the documents. If we could just slip away…A bullet whizzed past, embedding in a tree with a sharp thunk. Jordan cursed and yanked me to the left, deeper into the shadows. Our escape was precarious, every second was a gamble. Mason’s voice echoed commands through the night: “Fan out! They’re heading north!”After what felt like hours of brutal running, we burst into a small clearing. A forgotten cottage stood there—almo
Fiona’s POVThe blindfold had become my prison, sealing me in a darkness so complete that every sound felt like a gunshot in the void. My knees throbbed against the cold concrete, and the ropes had long since rubbed my wrists raw, sending sharp stings up my arms with every tiny shift. Jordan’s presence lingered like a shadow—his cologne thick and nauseating, and his occasional low chuckles made my skin crawl. I used to think he liked me back in Marian's house, but his switch was the craziest I've experienced. Marian paced nearby, her heels clicking with predatory rhythm. My heart raced at the two hours ticking time I had left before I finally died lonely.Suddenly, Marian’s phone rang. She answered like she had been expecting the call for a while, her voice clipped and confident at first. “Yes?” she paused. Then, just like the bad news, her entire demeanor shattered. Her breathing hitched audibly, quick and shallow. I sensed her freeze mid-step, the air around her growing with panic.
Jalen’s POVThe moment Marian left my office, the temperature in the room seemed to plummet. I stood frozen behind my desk, staring at the closed door as if it might swing open again at any second. My breath came shallow and tight, my legs gave out as I dropped into my chair, elbows braced on the p
