Professor Lucien Chapter 78: Conviction
Sofia's PovThe following morning, the hospital approved my discharge. There wasn’t much to pack—Brianna had brought me clothes, and the police had already driven off the reporters. Mia and Keira left I glance back at the hospital before sliding into the car. Professor Lucien is still unconscious.“Your phone got lost yesterday, right?” Mom hands me a new one the moment I sit down. “I got you the latest model.”I take the phone, already working out how to convince her to drop the lawsuit against Professor Lucien’s company. “Thanks, Mom.”She smiles, turns to the driver. “Let’s go home.”On the ride, I rehearse the words. Beg her to retract the lawsuit, and in exchange, I’ll agree to travel abroad like she wants. She should agree. It would get me off her hair.The car honks before pulling in. We climb out. Brianna rushes to open the door—always the mother-pleasing daughter.I force a smile and follow them inside. I wish I didn’t have to come back to Nick’s house, but if this helps con
Professor Lucien Chapter 77: For Him
Sofia's Pov.“God, I still can’t believe the most conservative of us turned out the wildest. Sofia and Professor Lucien, and then Keira and Leo.” Mia bursts out laughing.I haven’t been allowed to leave the hospital. My brain still needs monitoring, so Mia and Keira decided to stay with me. We’re all cramped on the hospital bed, watching a movie on Keira’s phone.Mia nudges me, grinning. “Keira actually punched Ivy because of you. But she deserved it…”“Yes, she called you a slut. I couldn’t take that,” Keira sneers. “Everyone knew she wanted the Professor, but when it turned out you were the one who actually had a chance—of course they got jealous.”My musketeers. I smile, eyes drifting back to the tiny screen. Just a simple love story — no impossible complications like mine. It’s easy, finding someone you can work things out with. But finding someone who makes breathing hard, who makes your body vibrate just by walking into the room, who suffocates you with nerves the moment you spo
Professor Lucien Chapter 76: We are Okay
Sofia's Pov.I’ve been locked inside, just as Professor Lucien ordered.He fought those men off — no one has come back. But he hasn’t returned either, and it’s been over ten minutes.I can’t stop pacing. Every step feels heavier.My heart won’t stop pounding. I know I should wait. It’s safer, better than being a liability. But what if he’s the one trapped now? What if I could slip out, get the police, save him?I slide the latch. The corridor is empty. I creep toward the room, but footsteps flood the stairs. More and more. I retreat, heart hammering.A megaphoned voice shatters: “Drop your weapons! Hands where I can see them!”The police. Finally, the police. I rush down the stairs.“Hands up!” One officer levels his gun at me. I freeze — until another slaps his arm down."“She’s one of the victims,” the second officer says. “Go with him, outside.” He gestures me forward into waiting hands.Crang! A gunshot splits the air.“Move in!” the first officer barks.Professor Lucien—I rip fr
Professor Lucien Chapter 75: The Arrest
Lucien's Pov"I'll open the door. You shut it immediately." I say. She eyes me briefly. I cut her off. "You shut it immediately." I repeat. "Bolt it." I only break eye contact when she nods.The door splinters under the kicks — they’re seconds away."Why don't you wait till the police get here? How do you even know they'll come?" Her panic-struck eyes lock on mine. Her cracked, bruised lips twitch. I can't help reaching to wipe the blood from her mouth."Trust me," I say, though my voice is thin.Hours earlier —"If we put a tracker in your clothes, she might notice," Michael says. I push past him — he's been stalling for thirty minutes.I pull the gun from the cabinet. "Put it in my shoes," I suggest. It's absurd, but my head's scrambled. I won't forgive myself if anything happens to Sofia."She'll notice the clothes," he says. "What if we hide it somewhere she won't check?" His eyes moves down."Stop." I warn. "Be serious. A life is at stake.""Yours too," he says. "You go there,
Professor Lucien Chapter 74: Pride And Hickeys
Sofia's Pov"Sofia… Sofia…" A voice hovers above me. I force my eyes open, my lashes heavy. I must have blacked out after they left—my body aches all over."Sofia, wake up."I lift my head, squinting. "Yasmin… you’re awake."Her eyes flick nervously toward the door. "What are you doing here?" she whispers."Now isn’t exactly bonding time, is it? I should be asking you that," I grunt, dragging myself against the wall. "How did you end up here?"She shifts, and when our shoulders bump, pain rips through my ribs. I hiss and scoot away."I was working on a case," she mutters, "and it kept circling back to ecstasy, so I went to check it out. Didn’t end well."Case? My brow furrows. "What case?"She exhales sharply. "Sofia, I’m still mad at you, okay? You stole my diary.""Now isn’t the time to be mad," I whisper, sliding my hands around, trying to loosen the rope biting into my wrists.Her voice softens. "We might die here, and I’m not mad. I’m disappointed. Things are really messed up bac
Professor Lucien Chapter 73: Ransom
Lucien's Pov.“We need to come up with a plan, Lucien. I won’t let you leave with just a gun. You should let her mother handle this with the police.”Micheal’s voice is quick with worry.I don’t answer. I move past him, close enough that his shoulder brushes mine. The jacket rubs against my palm. “You know Sofia is in trouble because of me. Dani wants me and I won’t let anyone get in danger.” Saying it makes it more real — this small, hot knot of responsibility in my chest.Micheal’s laughs. “You sound stupid. You think she’d just let that girl go because you turned yourself in?” His words hit like slaps.My fingers fiddle with the zipper, thumb catching on the metal. Dani wants my blood for Sofia. I yank the jacket closed harder than I need to. Habit, maybe. Fear.“Wait. Call her and ask her what she wants.” He’s trying to anchor me to reason. He keeps repeating it as if repetition will turn suggestion into plan.“You know she destroys the line so it won’t be traced back to her.” The
