LOGINJuliet walked into the department head’s office with her head high, but her legs felt weak. Chloe’s words still rang in her ears. The dean sat behind a large wooden desk. He looked serious. Papers and photos were spread out in front of him.“Miss Sinclair, sit down,” the dean said. His voice was cold. “We have received serious reports about your relationship with Professor Knight.”Juliet sat down slowly. Her body still ached from last night in the car. Every small movement reminded her of how Adrian had filled her. How his cum had dripped down her thighs when she finally got dressed. She pressed her legs together under the desk and tried to focus.“I don’t know what you mean,” she said quietly.The dean slid a photo across the desk. It was blurry, but it showed her and Adrian standing very close in the hallway. His hand was on her wrist.“Explain this,” the dean said.Juliet’s hands shook a little as she looked at the picture. “He was giving me feedback on my paper. That’s all.”The
Juliet woke up in Adrian’s arms in the back seat of his car. The windows were still fogged up. Her body felt sore in the best and worst ways. She sat up slowly, pulling her skirt down. The reality of what they had done hit her all at once.Adrian opened his eyes and reached for her. “Hey. Come back here.”She moved away a little. “We stayed here all night. On campus. What if someone saw the car?”Adrian sat up and ran a hand through his hair. “I know. That was reckless. But I couldn’t let you go home alone after what happened at the club.” He touched her arm gently. “Are you okay?”Juliet nodded, but she couldn’t look at him. “I feel guilty. We crossed every line last night. And now the dean wants to see us. What if they already know?”Adrian pulled her closer despite her resistance. “We’ll face it together. I’m not sorry about last night. Not about touching you. Not about making you mine.” He kissed her forehead. “But we have to be smart today. Act normal in public.”They cleaned up
Adrian kept his hand on Juliet’s lower back as they left the club through the side door. His grip was firm, almost possessive. He didn’t say a word until they reached the parking lot. He opened the passenger door of his black car and helped her inside.“Get in,” he said quietly. “We’re not staying here.”Juliet sat down. Her body was still buzzing from the way he had kissed and ground against her inside. Adrian got into the driver’s seat and started the engine. He drove out of the lot fast but carefully, checking the mirrors the whole time.“Are you okay?” he asked after a few minutes. His voice was tight.Juliet nodded, but her hands were still shaking in her lap. “He knew my real name. He had photos of us. He said if I didn’t dance for him, he would send everything to the university.”Adrian’s jaw clenched. His hands tightened on the steering wheel. “He won’t touch you again. I promise.”They drove in silence for a while. The campus was close. Adrian turned into a darker section of
Juliet stood frozen again in the private booth. Mr. Voss sat on the couch watching her with cold, hungry eyes. The music played low and heavy around them.“Dance,” Voss said again. “Or I send everything right now.”Her hands shook as she started moving. She kept her eyes on the floor. Every step felt wrong. Every roll of her hips made her want to cry. She thought about her mother. About the hospital bill. About Adrian’s voice note telling her he was coming.The curtain moved slightly. Someone new stepped into the back of the room. A tall man in a dark jacket. He paid for a seat in the shadows and sat down. Juliet’s heart jumped when she recognized him.Adrian.He had come. He was here.Voss noticed the new person but didn’t care. “Keep going, Luna. Make it good.”Juliet danced, but her eyes kept finding Adrian. He sat completely still. His jaw was tight. His hands were clenched into fists on his knees. He watched every move she made with burning eyes.She tried to tell him with her lo
Juliet stood frozen inside the private booth. The heavy curtain had just closed behind her. Mr. Voss sat on the velvet couch like he owned the entire club. His cold smile sent ice down her spine.“Hello, Juliet Sinclair,” he said slowly. “Or should I call you Luna… Professor Knight’s favorite student?”Her stomach dropped. She took a small step back. “How do you know my name?”Voss laughed softly and held up his phone. On the screen was the photo from the hallway ... Adrian holding her wrist, the two of them standing too close. “I know a lot of things. I know you’re a top student. I know your mother is sick. And I know you’ve been letting your professor touch you when no one is looking.”Juliet’s hands started shaking. “What do you want?”Voss leaned forward. “Simple. You. Tonight. One full private performance. Just you and me. Dance for me. Make me happy. And maybe I won’t send this photo and the video of you dancing to the entire university.”“I already told you no,” Juliet said. He
Juliet stared at the photo on her phone. It showed her and Adrian in the hallway, his hand around her wrist. The message underneath made her blood run cold: “Keep going. I’m enjoying the show.”She deleted it fast and looked around the library. No one was there. Whoever took the picture had been watching them through the window. They knew. They saw everything.She packed her things with shaking hands and left the library. The walk back to her dorm felt endless. Every shadow made her jump. When she finally got inside her room, she locked the door and sat on the bed.Her phone rang. It was the hospital again.“Miss Sinclair,” the nurse said. “Your mother’s condition has gotten worse. The doctor wants to start the stronger treatment tomorrow. We need the payment by morning or we can’t proceed.”Juliet’s voice broke. “How much is it now?”“Four thousand dollars,” the nurse said gently. “I’m sorry. I know this is hard.”Juliet ended the call and stared at the wall. Four thousand dollars. S
Juliet walked across the campus with her head down. The morning sun felt too bright after last night's messages. She kept checking her phone, but the unknown number stayed quiet for now. Still, the words wouldn't leave her head.She reached the Literature building and stopped outside Professor Knig
Juliet sat on her bed, staring at the closed door after Mia left. Her best friend’s words still hung in the air.“I’ll help you hide it… for now. But Jules—if he breaks your heart, I swear I’ll ruin him myself.”She let out a long breath. Having Mia know part of the truth felt like both relief and
Juliet pushed open the back door of Midnight Eclipse and stepped into the dim hallway. The bass from the main floor already thumped through the walls but she kept her head down as she walked to the dressing room. Lila sat in front of the mirror, fixing her makeup. "You're late, Jules. Marcus is in
Juliet Sinclair sat in the third row, with her back straight on the chair and a notebook opened before her on a desk. The lecture hall buzzed with the usual noise of students parking up, but she stayed still. Her phone had just vibrated in her bag and she already knew what the message said.It was
