  • THE PROFESSOR'S TEMPTATION    22. Between Fashion, Luxury and Love

    The morning sun gently illuminated the streets of Milan, reflecting light onto the shop windows lining Via Montenapoleone. Cassie and Charles stepped out of the elegant black car that had driven them from their hotel.Before them, the world's fashion center awaited; this street was home to the most luxurious boutiques of renowned brands such as Gucci, Prada, Valentino, and Dior.Cassie wore a simple peach linen dress, with large sunglasses framing her face. Charles, as always, looked classic, in a light gray linen suit with a navy blue tie that wasn't too stiff."This street," Cassie said, sweeping her gaze over the boutique displays, "Feels like a catwalk.""You are the catwalk, darling," Charles replied, slipping his arm into his wife's. "Let's find something beautiful for you."Cassie smiled, holding Charles's hand tightly. They walked slowly, admiring the architecture of the classic boutiques with modern interiors. The atmosphere felt calm but stylish, people passing by in polish

    The sound of rippling water greeted Cassie and Charles as they stepped out of the Santa Lucia station in Venice. The scent of salty sea air mingled with the aroma of coffee and pastries from the surrounding cafes.The air felt soft and cool, caressed by a gentle breeze from the Venetian Lagoon. Seagulls flew across the sky, and the sound of gondoliers singing classic Italian songs echoed from afar."This place, it feels like it's not real," Cassie whispered, gazing at the shimmering canal."It's like we're walking into a dream," Charles replied, his eyes sweeping over the rows of pastel-colored buildings that lined the Grand Canal.They spent the morning and afternoon wandering through the narrow streets that formed the city's labyrinth, crossing small bridges over tiny canals. They stopped at Murano glass shops and shared laughter while trying on Carnevale party masks.In Piazza San Marco, pigeons fluttered around them, and the afternoon sunlight illuminated the bell tower of St. Mar

    Dawn crept in through the thin, cream-colored curtains. Soft golden light danced on the stone walls, reflected on the glass surface, and slowly caressed Cassie's face, still asleep in Charles's embrace. Outside the window, the sounds of seagulls and Rome's morning traffic began to be heard, but inside the room, the world still felt quiet and peaceful.Cassie stirred slowly, her eyes fluttering open as she realized the warmth of her husband's arm wrapped tightly around her waist. Charles was still asleep, his breathing calm, his face peaceful like a child's.Cassie smiled faintly. She raised her hand and gently touched Charles's cheek. "You always look so peaceful when you sleep," she whispered. "As if nothing in this world can touch you."Charles opened one eye and smiled semi-consciously. "That's because I'm with you," he said in a husky morning voice. "Nothing else matters."Cassie chuckled softly and rested her head on Charles's chest. They remained silent for a long time, just lis

Amidst the hustle and bustle of tourists from all over the world, Cassie and Charles, a married couple from England, were embarking on their summer vacation adventure in the heart of Italy, the city of Rome.Cassie wore a wide straw hat and a pink dress with a small floral pattern. Her blonde hair was braided simply, while her eyes sparkled every time she saw the ancient ruins that stood proudly in the middle of the modern city. Charles, in a cream-colored linen shirt and shorts, walked beside her, holding his wife's hand. A mirrorless camera hung around his neck, ready to capture every corner of wonder.They stood in front of the Colosseum, the largest amphitheater of the magnificent and timeless Roman Empire. Other tourists took selfies, some stunned by the incredib

    Three weeks after Leonard's rescue.That day, the London sky was gray. In the student hearing room, Alan sat with a calm face, though his eyes held an unquenchable anger. Across from him sat three members of the campus disciplinary panel, including the Vice-Rector for Student Affairs and the Head of the Department of Academic Ethics.The Vice-Rector looked at Alan sharply. "The accusations against you are very serious, Mr. Alan. You are suspected of involvement in the kidnapping of a fellow student and threatening the life of a professor."Alan was not intimidated. "All of that hasn't been proven. And I never touched anyone directly. I'm just merely present here."The Head of the Department of Ethics tapped the table. "We have recordings as evidence. You were at the scene. That's enough to drag you out of campus."But before the final decision was read, a lawyer with an expensive tie entered the hearing room. "Sorry to interrupt," he said. "I'm Bram, representing the Alan family."Th

    Blake rose to his feet. "Allow me to contact the police and tighten security.""No," Charles said suddenly.Blake turned, surprised. "Excuse me, Prof?""If we involve the police now, they might kill Leonard. Alan wants me to come. Alone. This is clearly psychological warfare."Blake clenched his fist. "But you won't go alone. We'll infiltrate a shadow team. Remaining invisible, but ready to attack when needed."Charles nodded slowly. "Alright. But I have to play along with their game, up to a certain point."Elsewhere, in the warehouse in Holloway, Alan was staring at a monitor displaying hidden camera footage from the campus.He smiled with satisfaction at Charles's expression in the video. "He's coming," he said to Ducan and Etan, who were standing nearby.Etan looked at the screen doubtfully. "Are you sure Prof. Charles will fall into this trap, Boss?""Charles isn't a coward. He has a major weakness, a sense of responsibility towards his students. Charles will definitely sacrifice
