Juliet lay on her bed staring at the ceiling. Tears still wet her cheeks. The headlights outside flashed again, brighter this time, cutting across her small room like a warning. She sat up fast, heart pounding. The black car was still there.

She moved to the window and peeked through the curtain. The car sat right across the street, engine running. Two men stood beside it, smoking and looking up at her building. One of them pointed toward her window.

She dropped the curtain and stepped back qui

    Juliet stared at the new message until the words blurred. “Running only makes it sweeter, Luna. Next time you won’t get away so easily.” She deleted it quickly and turned her phone off completely. Her hands wouldn’t stop shaking. She sat on the edge of her bed for a long time, trying to breathe normally. The club escape, the black car, the threats, everything felt like it was closing in tighter.She needed to clear her head. School was the only place that still felt safe. Even if Adrian was there.The next morning she dragged herself to campus. Her body felt heavy from no sleep. She had just sat down in the library when her phone turned back on and buzzed with a new email.From Professor Adrian Knight.“Miss Sinclair, your last paper needs immediate revision. My office. 4 p.m. sharp. Do not be late.”Juliet read it twice. Her stomach flipped. Part of her wanted to ignore it. She was exhausted and scared. But another part of her remembered the way he caught her wrist in the hallway yes

    Juliet lay on her bed staring at the ceiling. Tears still wet her cheeks. The headlights outside flashed again, brighter this time, cutting across her small room like a warning. She sat up fast, heart pounding. The black car was still there.She moved to the window and peeked through the curtain. The car sat right across the street, engine running. Two men stood beside it, smoking and looking up at her building. One of them pointed toward her window.She dropped the curtain and stepped back quickly. Her hands shook as she grabbed her phone. No missed calls from the hospital. No new messages from Mia. Just the heavy silence of her apartment and the fear pressing down on her chest.She couldn’t stay here. Not with them waiting outside.Juliet changed into her club clothes fast, hands moving without thinking. She stuffed her regular clothes into her bag and slipped out the back door of the building. The alley was dark and quiet. She walked fast, almost running, toward Midnight Eclipse. E

  • SHHH... PROFESSOR    Chapter 10: Cracks in the Mask

    Juliet froze on the empty street. The black car sat behind her like a shadow that had finally caught up. The window stayed down, and the man inside looked straight at her with cold eyes.“Luna,” he said again. “The boss says it’s time for that private show. Right now. Get in the car.”Her heart slammed against her ribs. She took one step back, then another. “I’m not going anywhere with you.”The man smiled, but it didn’t reach his eyes. “You think you have a choice? We know where you live. We know about your mother in the hospital. We know everything. Make this easy for yourself.”Juliet’s hands shook as she gripped her bag tighter. “Leave me alone. I’m not doing private dances. Tell your boss that.”The man leaned forward in the seat. “You’re playing a dangerous game, little girl. The boss doesn’t like to wait. Tonight. Midnight Eclipse. Private booth. Or tomorrow your perfect little student life ends.”Before she could answer, the window rolled up and the car drove away slowly, tail

  • SHHH... PROFESSOR    Chapter 9: Followed in the Dark

    Juliet stood in the hallway long after Adrian walked away. Her wrist still burned where his fingers had touched her and she could hear his words repeating in her head on loop.If you keep looking at me like that, I won’t be responsible for what happens next.She pressed her hand to her chest and tried to breathe normally. The ache between her legs hadn’t gone away. It only got stronger every time she remembered the way he looked at her, dark and hungry like he wanted to pull her into the nearest empty room and do everything he promised.She finally started walking again and her legs felt unsteady. Students passed her, laughing and talking about normal things and none of them knew her heart was racing or that her body was still reacting to a man she wasn’t supposed to want.Her phone buzzed in her bag. She pulled it out, hoping it wasn’t another threat and when she checked, it was Mia.“Hey,” Mia said when Juliet answered. “You ran out of class so fast. Is everything okay? You looked w

  • SHHH... PROFESSOR    Chapter 8: Jealousy in the Lecture Hall

    Juliet stared at the roses and the note in her hands. The handwriting looked too much like Adrian’s and her pulse wouldn’t slow down. She quickly stuffed everything into her bag before anyone else could see.“Or was someone playing a very dangerous game?” she whispered to herself.She left the club fast that night and went straight home. Sleep didn’t come easy and every time she closed her eyes, she saw the roses, the note, and Adrian’s face from class.The next morning, she dragged herself to campus. Her body still ached from the extra sets she danced. She kept her head down as she walked into the lecture hall for Literature class.Mia was already sitting in their usual spot and she waved Juliet over.“You look worse today,” Mia said as soon as Juliet sat down. “Did you even sleep? And don’t lie to me this time.”Juliet dropped her bag and rubbed her eyes. “I’m okay. Just that a lot is going on in my mind.”Mia leaned closer. “Is it still about that costume? Because I can’t stop thin

  • SHHH... PROFESSOR    Chapter 7: Roses from the Shadows

    Juliet walked out of the lecture hall with the note still crumpled tight in her fist.Stay away from Knight or everyone learns who Luna really is.She shoved the paper deep into her bag and kept moving. The hallway was packed with students laughing and talking, brushing past her like nothing in the world was wrong. She kept her face blank, counted her steps and breathed.Her phone buzzed and when she checked, it was a message from her best friend, Mia.Mia: We need to talk. For real. After class?Juliet stared at the screen for a second, then typed back fast.Juliet: I can't tonight, I'm sorry I have to work. Probably tomorrow?Mia: This can't wait forever, Jules.She put the phone away without answering. Mia would have to wait. Everything would have to wait. Right now the only thing she could think about was the note and whoever had left it, and what they knew, and how much time she had before her whole life came apart.The rest of her classes were a blur. She sat in the back rows an
