Her heart skipped. She swallowed hard, her nerves buzzing. “What is it?”

Julian walked closer and sat across from her, his knees almost brushing hers. His eyes held hers without flinching. “I’m no longer officially your tutor.”

The words hit her like cold water. She blinked fast, unsure if she heard him right. “W-what do you mean?”

“I told the department I was stepping down from tutoring you,” Julian said, his voice steady. “It’s over. On paper, I’m not your tutor anymore.”

Her stomach flipped. She could feel her pulse in her throat. “Why? Did someone find out? Is this because of the rumors?” Her voice cracked at the end.

Julian shook his head slowly. He leaned forward, his elbows resting on his knees. “No one knows for sure. But I couldn’t keep pretending this was only about lessons. I couldn’t sit across from you with textbooks between us and lie to myself.”

Olivia froze, her breath shallow. His words tangled with the storm in her chest. “Then why… why would you stop?”

    The stench hit Zara before she even turned the corner.She froze, gripping her grocery bag tighter, already knowing what she would see and there it was again, another black garbage bag slumped against the wall outside apartment 10B, leaking something sticky onto the carpet. A pizza box leaned on top of it, a soda can lay crushed nearby and a balled-up napkin clung to her shoe.Her jaw clenched. “Unbelievable,” she muttered, kicking the napkin off with a sharp shake of her foot.It wasn’t the first time. Cade Walker, her arrogant, messy, smug neighbor had been living in 10B for barely three months, and in that short time, he had already turned their clean hallway into his personal trash station. He never seemed to care about the building rules or, worse, about the people forced to live next to him.Zara wrinkled her nose and fished her keys from her purse. She could feel her temper boiling, the way it always did whenever Cade was involved. It didn’t matter if she saw him in the gym, in

    And they had.Later that afternoon, as they walked down one of the quieter halls, Olivia heard footsteps echoing behind them. When she turned, she saw Professor Smith, the one who had once looked at her like he suspected something was happening during her tutoring days. He stopped in front of them, his eyes scanning the two of them holding hands.Olivia’s stomach tightened. This was the moment she feared most.But then, Professor Smith’s expression softened. Slowly, he gave a smile.“Congratulations,” he said, his voice warm but formal. “I had my doubts at first. But it’s clear now, you’ve both chosen for each other, and it shows. Well done.”Olivia blinked, unable to process it for a second. She’d expected disapproval, maybe a lecture, but not this.“Thank you, sir,” Julian said firmly, giving a respectful nod.Professor Smith turned his gaze on Olivia, eyes kinder than she had ever seen. “You’ve grown, Miss Bennett. More than I thought possible when you first entered my class. Hold

    The applause was deafening. Olivia’s cheeks burned, her eyes filled with tears as she stepped away from the podium. She caught Julian’s gaze again, this time he was clapping, not politely, but with force, his smile so proud it nearly undid her.After the ceremony, Olivia was surrounded by classmates, professors, and even strangers congratulating her.“I listen to your podcast every week!” one student gushed. “I had no idea it was you!”“You were amazing,” a professor told her warmly. “Truly inspiring.”Her phone buzzed nonstop, notifications flooding in as her podcast account suddenly blew up with messages, shares, and followers. She felt dizzy, overwhelmed, but happy.Julian finally made his way through the crowd, his hand sliding against hers discreetly before anyone could notice. He leaned close, his voice low so only she could hear.“You just shook an entire room, Olivia.”Her eyes watered again. “I was so scared.”“And you did it anyway.” He kissed her temple softly. “That’s stre

    At first, her voice wavered, but as she continued, her words grew steadier. She spoke about the strength of finding one’s voice, the courage to stand even when judged, and how empowerment wasn’t about perfection but persistence. She caught herself speaking with a fire she hadn’t known she carried, her words echoing through the room.When she finished, the applause roared, echoing in her ears. Her cheeks flushed, tears threatening to spill.As she stepped off the stage, she scanned the crowd one last time—then froze.In the back row, partly hidden, was Julian. He hadn’t told her, but he had come. His eyes met hers, pride radiating in his stare, and he gave her the smallest nod, as if to say, You did it.Her chest tightened, a swell of emotion flooding her. He hadn’t lied—he wasn’t there officially, but he was there for her. Always.When the event ended and she finally found him outside, leaning casually against a wall, she stormed toward him with tears in her eyes.“You said you wouldn

    Olivia lay on her back, staring at the ceiling with a nervous laugh. “You’re really serious about this, aren’t you?”Julian leaned against the side of the bed, his expression calm but edged with curiosity. “Yes. You always complain I control everything, Olivia. So tonight, it’s yours. Everything. You lead, I follow.”Her lips parted, a small sound caught between disbelief and amusement. “You would actually let me…?”“Take control? Yes,” he said firmly. “For one night, you set the pace. No rules, no commands. Just you.”Her heart pounded so hard it felt like her ribs might crack. For weeks she had grown used to his dominance, his ability to dictate her actions with precision. The thought of being the one in control left her both excited and terrified.“Julian…” she whispered, searching his eyes for any sign he was joking. But he wasn’t. He was giving her this moment without hesitation.She sat up slowly, brushing her hair back, her breath shaky. “Then… get on the bed.”He smirked faint

    The following weekend, Julian invited her to come meet a few of his friends. It wasn’t a dinner party or anything formal, just a casual gathering at a friend’s apartment. Olivia hesitated at first, nervous about stepping into his world outside their own bubble, but she finally agreed.When they arrived, the place was lively. Music played softly, people laughed, drinks clinked against glasses. Julian’s friends were warm and welcoming, and she tried her best to relax, though she could feel his hand at her lower back every time someone new came over.“This is Olivia,” he introduced proudly, and she caught the subtle weight in his voice. Not just “a student.” Not just “a girlfriend.” Something in between, something private, yet he wanted them to know she was important.She smiled politely, shook hands, laughed at small jokes, but underneath it all, her nerves prickled. Every time she strayed too far, even just a step across the room, Julian’s eyes followed. He didn’t say anything, but she
