THE PROFESSOR'S TEMPTATION 11. Agreement to Pretend
The next day, the autumn wind gently swept through the university campus where Charles taught and Cassie pursued her education. Students passed by with books in hand, chatting without knowing that two among them were now bound by a sacred bond, kept tightly secret.Cassie walked quickly towards a faculty building, carrying a presentation folder in her hand. Her hair flowed loosely, her face slightly nervous, not because of the assignment, but because of her new status as the wife of her own lecturer.From another direction, Charles walked past her, wearing a long coat typical of a classically styled lecturer. Their eyes met briefly, but they only gave each other a small nod.Cassie sighed deeply as Charles walked away."This seems difficult ..." she muttered softly.At home, the night before.Cassie sat in Charles's study, biting her lip. In front of her, her husband closed his laptop and looked at his wife seriously."Cassie, starting tomorrow, we really have to keep our distance on
THE PROFESSOR'S TEMPTATION 10. Charles and Cassie Finally Get Married
In the living room, which had been decorated with blooming flowers, Charles stood calmly, awaiting his bride. Then, light footsteps echoed down the stairs.Cassie appeared in a simple white dress, her hair styled in a soft updo, adorned with tiny flowers. Her eyes were slightly teary, but her smile was genuine.Charles was suddenly stunned. "You look beautiful."Cassie blushed and lowered her gaze. "You look like a prince too."Grandma Evelyn stood beside them, deeply moved. "My grandchildren are finally married! May God bless you both."A short ceremony took place. Mr. Fletcher read the marriage vows in a formal yet meaningful civil version. Charles and Cassie looked at each other."I, Charles Bliss, take you, Cassie Florence, to be my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part.""I, Cassie Florence, take you, Charles Bliss, to be my lawfully
THE PROFESSOR'S TEMPTATION 9. Grandma Evelyn's Ultimatum
The London sky began to be shrouded in gray fog as Grandma Evelyn stepped out of the black cab that had brought her home from her old friend’s house. The night wind pierced to the bone, and the streetlights began to flicker on one by one. The grand house at the corner of Kensington Street stood gracefully, as if welcoming back its lady of the house.With slow steps, Grandma Evelyn opened the main door, hung her old fur coat on the rack, then patted her neatly styled silver hair. She sighed in relief, then called out as she stepped inside.“Charles? Grandma’s home!”But there was no answer. The house was silent. Too silent.The woman placed her small bag on the foyer table, about to head to the kitchen to make some warm tea, when her gaze stopped at something unusual.A pair of women’s shoes, cream-colored, lay on the marble floor near the stairs. Untidy. As if thrown in a rush.Grandma Evelyn’s brow furrowed.“What is this?” she whispered.With a bad feeling, Grandma Evelyn climbed th
THE PROFESSOR'S TEMPTATION 8. An Unexpected Hot Night
One afternoon.The campus sky was very bright, but Cassie's steps felt heavy. Since the incident at the bar where she worked as a waitress, unpleasant whispers had followed her wherever she went. Mocking laughter was clearly heard as she passed through the hallway to the lecture room."Hey, look, it's Cassie. The night waitress who's turned into a model student now," Melisa sneered loudly, but loud enough for everyone to hear."Tch! So shameless!" Amy chimed in."Such a cheap woman!" Judith didn't want to be left out in mocking Cassie.Cassie gritted her teeth. She had been trying to be patient. She hadn't done anything shameful as accused. Her job at the bar was just to pay for her living expenses, not what people said."Wearing that to campus? Forgot to change costumes again, huh?" Amy, Melisa's friend, quipped, adding to the mockery.Cassie lowered her head and hurried into the classroom, holding back her tears. But before she could sit down, a deep and firm voice broke the silence
THE PROFESSOR'S TEMPTATION 7. Repressed Feelings
In his heart, Charles held back something he couldn't express."I want more than that, Cassie. But not yet."The professor was determined. Cassie had to graduate first. Her dreams had to be achieved. Only after that, if the time was right, would he reveal who he really was. Not just a lecturer, but the man who had been supporting and protecting her from afar.Cassie yawned slightly. "You're tired," Charles said, standing up. "I won't stay long. Rest."Cassie looked at him, still holding the cup of hot chocolate. "Prof, can I be honest?""Of course.""I'm glad you came. It feels like eternal peace."Those words hit Charles' heart like a gentle storm. He smiled, hiding his emotional turmoil."I'll always be there when you need me," Charles said. "So ... never be afraid."Cassie nodded. "Thank you, Prof Charles. I'm really lucky to have a lecturer like you."Charles stepped back, raising a small hand in greeting. "See you on campus." Not forgetting to kiss Cassie's forehead briefly.The
THE PROFESSOR'S TEMPTATION 6. Restrained Desire
In a luxurious, multi-story office in the heart of London City, Prof. Charles leaned back in his leather chair. The night sky was visible through the large window behind him, city lights twinkling. He looked at his phone screen, reading the last message from Blake."Miss Cassie is safe. Alan was dealt with. He is being treated. I will remain on guard around the hospital discreetly."Charles exhaled in relief, then placed the phone on the desk. His hands, which had been clenched, now slowly relaxed."Thank goodness ..." he murmured softly.Shortly after, a soft knock was heard at the door. A sturdy man in a black suit entered, Blake, his personal bodyguard and trusted confidant."Sir, I have come as you requested," Blake said politely.Charles stood and looked at him intently. "You did an amazing job, Blake. If you hadn't arrived so quickly, I don't know what would have happened to Cassie that night.""I was only carrying out orders, Sir."Charles looked out the window, his arms crosse
