My Professor’s Obsession The Calloway Connection
"Look at the numbers on the second-to-last page, Vane, and tell me if I’m losing my mind or if these dates match the exact months Dad went into the hospital," I said, my voice barely a whisper over the hum of the motel's faulty air conditioner.I had the ledger spread open on the cigarette-burned bedsheet. The paper felt like dried skin under my fingertips. Vane leaned over, squinting at the cramped, legalistic handwriting of Arthur Calloway."August fourteenth... October seventh..." Vane read out, his finger tracing the ink. "Sera, these are the dates of the 're-licensing' fees. But Dad hadn't painted anything new for months by then. He couldn't even hold a brush without his hands shaking.""He didn't need to paint anything new," I said, a cold, hard knot tightening in my stomach. "They weren't licensing new work. They were quietly re-registering his entire back catalog under a Calloway shell company while he was too drugged up on painkillers to notice what he was signing. Look at th
My Professor’s Obsession Dominic Makes His Move
"Put the keys down, Dominic, because if you think I’m getting into a car with a man who thinks an envelope of cash is a personality replacement, you’ve clearly forgotten who you're talking to," I said, my voice cutting through the humid morning air of the motel parking lot.He was leaning against a black sedan that looked like it cost more than the entire block, his shades pushed up into his perfectly groomed hair. He looked like an advertisement for a life I had finally stopped wanting."I’m not here to kidnap you, Sera. I’m here to give you an exit ramp," Dominic said, flashing that smile that used to make me feel safe but now just made me feel like I was being appraised for auction. "Look at this place. There’s mold on the stucco and the guy in room four definitely has a meth habit. You're better than this.""I'm exactly where I need to be," I told him, adjusting the strap of my heavy work bag. My shoulder ached from a double shift at the diner, and my fingers felt stiff from scrub

"Two coffees, black, and if you touch that sugar caddy one more time, Vane, I’m going to make you pay the tip with your own allowance," I said, sliding into the vinyl booth of a diner that smelled like old grease and new beginnings.Vane looked at me like I’d grown a second head. He’d never seen me like this. Not this sharp. Not this loud. "I don't have an allowance anymore, Sera. We don't have anything. Why are you acting like we’re on a lunch break from a job you don't have?""Because I’m going to have one by three o'clock," I told him, tapping my knuckles against the laminate table. "And you’re going to stay in that library down the street and finish your GED prep. No more 'accidental brides.' No more hiding in penthouses. We’re going to be boring, normal people who pay rent in cash."The waitress came over, her name tag saying Martha. She looked at my cheap gas-station dress and then at the way I was holding myself—shoulders back, chin up, eyes scanning the room like I was looking

My Professor’s Obsession Sera Walks Out
"Are you actually doing this, or are we just playing a very scary game of make-believe in the middle of a swamp?" Vane whispered, his voice cracking as he shoved a handful of socks into his backpack.I didn't look at him. I couldn't. If I looked at the fear in my brother’s eyes, I’d unpack the bag and crawl back into the study to apologize for wanting a soul of my own."We’re doing it, Vane. Grab your inhaler and the extra charger. We leave through the pantry window in five minutes," I said."Caspian will find us before we hit the main road," Vane said, his shadow dancing against the peeling wallpaper as he moved. "He has people, Sera. He has those scary guys Elias knows. He’ll think we’ve been snatched.""He won't," I said, finally zipping my duffel. It felt lighter than it should have. "I'm leaving a note. Not on the desk, not where he can find it right away. I’m leaving it in the book of poems he gave me. He’ll find it when he calms down and looks for the one thing I didn't take."
My Professor’s Obsession Caspian at His Worst
"Pack your things and get out of this room, Sera, because I can’t look at you and the ghost of your mother at the same time without wanting to set this entire house on fire," Caspian said.He was standing by the window of the study, the morning sun hitting the silver in his hair and making him look older, harder, and entirely unreachable. The ledger was still open on the desk, the names of our ruined families staring up at us like a list of casualties. He hadn't slept. I could tell by the way his shoulders were hiked up to his ears and the way his hand was white-knuckling the back of a chair."I'm not going anywhere until you stop talking to me like I’m a student who failed a test," I said, my voice echoing in the stale air of the library. "We just found out our parents were friends. We found out Arthur Calloway is a thief. Why are you pushing me away now?""Because you're a liability!" he roared, turning on me so fast I flinched. His eyes were bloodshot and wild. "Do you understand w
