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.

View MoreBoring GoodbyeJalen's POVThe moment Paris reached Fiona's bedside, she broke down completely.Tears streamed down her face as she grabbed Fiona's hand carefully, afraid of hurting her."Fiona, I'm so sorry," she sobbed. "I'm sorry for everything. I should have protected you better. I should have been there."Fiona looked exhausted, but she managed a weak smile."Paris...""No," Paris cried. "Let me finish. I've been blaming myself every single day. When I heard what happened, I thought..." Her voice cracked. "I thought I lost you."The room fell silent as Fiona squeezed her hand gently."You didn't lose me."Paris let out a shaky laugh through her tears."Thank God."Jude sluggishly emerged from Paris's back, his face looked annoyingly sober, he looked genuinely ashamed."I'm sorry too, Fiona."Fiona's expression immediately changed, Jude felt it and instantly lowered his head."I know I don't deserve forgiveness. I know I caused you a lot of pain. I was selfish. I thought I loved y
Jalen’s POVThe hospital room was quiet except for the steady beeping of machines. Fiona had been stabilized, but she was still sleeping. Harry and I sat on opposite sides of the room, the silence between us thick and heavy.I couldn’t take it anymore.“Harry,” I said quietly. “We need to talk.”He looked at me for a long moment, jaw tight, before nodding once.I leaned forward, elbows on my knees.“I know you hate me right now. And you have every right to. But I need you to hear me out.”He remained silent, waiting.“I never loved Marian,” I began. “Not even a little. I met her at a charity dinner my mother dragged me to when she was still alive. Marian was intelligent and ambitious and worked at the University of Arts. At the time, all I wanted was to become a professor. To teach art. You know I always had a passion for it. She seemed like a good match on paper.”I exhaled slowly.“My mother was dying. Her last wish was to see me married to Marian. She believed Marian would be good
Jalen’s POVMy hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles turned white, rage built inside me the moment I dropped the call from Marian. I could kill her with my bare hands if I lay my eyes on her. The city lights blurred past as I sped through the streets, breaking every speed limit. My heart hammered violently against my ribcage. Every second felt like a lifetime.My phone rang and I answered quickly—tapping the edge of my earpods like I have no extra time to give, I obviously don’t. “Speak!” I ordered. .“We’ve been able to track down the location of Mrs Marian's phone. I just sent you the link right away sir,” a voice answered.“Thanks, keep me updated,” I answered and hung up before swiping into his message. “Shit, that warehouse?” I muttered. It was the same warehouse that her father closed down after he lost almost all his money in an investment. I haven’t been there in a while but I could still remember the route. I stepped harder on the acceleration pad to spee
Fiona’s POVMy phone kept ringing in my bag which had probably been flung to one side. I can imagine what could be going on in my dad’s mind if he didn’t see me in my room. Everywhere was still dark and silent, I could feel a presence with me, quiet and still. I couldn’t even think straight, I just knew I was waiting to meet my doom so I could at least join mum wherever she is. My phone stopped ringing, then the person dialed a number. The phone was answered on the third ring.My heart jumped weakly in my chest, waiting for the next instruction she was about to give again but I heard Jalen’s voice, or so I thought until he spoke again, then I confirmed it was him.The man walked closer to me and he landed a heavy slap across my already swollen face. The force snapped my head to the side as pain exploded across my cheek.I yelped loudly, gritted my teeth, and sobbed.“Hello?
