Lena sat at her desk late into the evening, the city humming faintly outside her apartment window. The night was quiet except for the ticking of the clock on her wall, each second stretching longer than it should. She had been restless all day, her thoughts circling around things she hadn’t dared to revisit for months.

Finally, she reached for her laptop and typed his name, Damien Cross. She didn’t know what she expected to find. Maybe nothing. Maybe he had gone off the grid the way he always threatened he would. Maybe he had vanished into the corners of the art world where only whispers and collectors remembered him.

But when the page loaded, her breath caught. There it was, his latest painting.

The screen lit up with a canvas that pulled her right back into a storm she thought she had already weathered. Her throat tightened. It was her.

Not the version of herself she thought he might remember, not the angry girl who had stormed out of his studio, not the silent woman who once stood

    “Again,” Julian said firmly, his deep voice carrying no room for excuses. “Solve it. You have thirty seconds.”Olivia swallowed hard, her palms sweaty against the notebook. She bent over the question, her brain racing, her heart thudding. The way he sat across from her, hands folded, waiting for her to either fail or succeed, made her feel like she was under a spotlight.“Twenty seconds,” Julian’s voice cut through her silence, making her hands tremble.Her pencil scratched furiously on the page. She thought she had the answer, but the way he stared: calm, unblinking, controlled, made her second-guess herself.“Five… four… three…”“Wait...wait, I got it!” Olivia said quickly, blurting out her answer, almost shouting.Julian leaned forward, glanced at the paper, then raised an eyebrow. “Close. But not correct. You rushed.”Her shoulders slumped, and she pressed her lips together in frustration. “You keep rushing me with the time! I can’t think straight when you’re counting down like th

    “You feel intimidated by me.”Olivia’s eyes widened. She wanted to deny it, but the words caught in her throat. Instead, she whispered, “Yes.”Julian let the silence hang for a moment before replying. “Good.”Her heart thudded painfully in her chest. “Good?”“Yes.” He straightened, his tall frame casting a shadow across her notebook. “That fear you feel, it means you’re paying attention. It means you’re taking this seriously and that’s exactly what you need.”Olivia frowned, her brows furrowing. “I don’t understand…”Julian tapped the notebook with his pen, his eyes still locked on hers. “You need structure, Olivia. Rules. Discipline. Without them, you wander. You procrastinate. You look for excuses. But with them, you thrive. You don’t even realize it yet, but that’s why you’re improving...because I don’t let you drift.”His words sank deep, pressing against the insecurities she carried every day. He was right. She knew he was right. Before him, her nights were endless loops of distr

    He pulled out a chair for her. “Sit. Let’s see how much you actually remember.”She slid into the chair, her pulse quickening as he pulled a sheet of questions in front of her. He tapped his watch. “You have ten minutes to solve the first one. Don’t waste time staring at it. Think, write, answer.”His words were commands, not suggestions. Olivia swallowed and bent over the paper. Her pen moved furiously, numbers and formulas racing through her head. She could feel his eyes on her, watching, waiting.At the end of the ten minutes, she put her pen down and slid the sheet back.Julian leaned over, scanning her work. His hand rested against the table as he pointed at a mistake she hadn’t noticed. Olivia’s eyes followed the movement of his long fingers as he traced the error. The veins along his hand were sharp, his skin tanned against the white page. She quickly looked back down at her notes, her face heating up.“This step,” he said, tapping the paper firmly, “is sloppy. You knew what to

    Olivia crossed her arms, pouting like a scolded child. His words stung, but deep down, she knew he was right.The evening went on like that, strict timing, firm scolding, no mercy. Every time she tried to complain, Julian shut her down with a sharp look or a curt word. And though it frustrated her, she felt something she hadn’t felt in a long time: discipline.At one point, when she sneaked her phone out of her bag to check a notification, Julian’s voice thundered across the table.“What did I say about phones?”Olivia jumped, nearly dropping it. “I was just...”“Put it away,” he snapped. “Now. If you can’t respect simple rules, you can leave.”Her cheeks burned. She shoved it back in her bag, mumbling, “You don’t have to be so strict.”“Yes, I do,” he said simply. “Because no one else has been strict with you. That’s why you’re still struggling.”His words silenced her. She realized with a sinking feeling that he was right again.By the end of the session, Olivia was drained. Her han

    Olivia had never been the type to take studying seriously, not until now. After her last humiliating experience with the test questions Julian threw at her, she realized something had to change. If she wanted to get better, she couldn’t keep treating this like a casual hangout. She needed structure, she needed him.Julian, on the other hand, already knew the way forward. He had been patient with her clumsy beginnings, but he was not going to waste his time if she wasn’t ready to put in the work. At thirty-five, he wasn’t some carefree young man running around with excuses. He had built his life on order, self-control, and discipline, and he expected the same from anyone who came under his watch, even Olivia.The next day, when Olivia showed up for their usual session in the small study room at the back of the library, she wrinkled her nose. The fluorescent light flickered like it was about to give up, the chair legs wobbled under her weight, and the air felt trapped with the stale sme

    The following week came faster than Olivia expected. All week, she carried the weight of that first tutoring session like a secret in her chest. She replayed his words...“You’ll hate me before you improve.” At the time, she had laughed nervously, but as the days went by, she began to wonder if he had meant it.By the time Thursday afternoon arrived, she felt both eager and sick with nerves. She dragged herself into the same quiet study room in the library, clutching her notebook tighter than usual. Her palms were clammy again, just like last time, and no amount of deep breathing seemed to help.Julian was already there. He sat at the oak table with his sleeves rolled up, a pen in hand, scanning through a thick stack of notes. He looked like he belonged there, like he could sit in silence for hours without ever losing focus. When Olivia entered, he didn’t glance up immediately.“You’re late,” he said calmly, still looking at the paper in front of him.Olivia’s stomach twisted. She chec
