“I’m so sorry...I didn’t...” I looked up to see who it was...professor Adrian? Everyday a new kind of bad luck...maybe I really am an unlucky brat. I’m in so much trouble now... “I’m so sorry sir Adrian” “It’s Alright...” “I’m...” I stuttered as I looked up at him... “I said it’s ok Theo, where are you headed?” Adrian asked looking at me... he was a bit taller than me from up close “Class...” “Ok then...have a nice day...” That was the shortest discussion I’ve ever had with anybody...I just rushed past him and to my class before Blake would spot me talking to his uncle... The class went by faster than expected, without Blake bothering me...that was strange, so I had to ask around... not like I cared though but a good part of me wanted to be sure he was fine...I learnt from one of our course mates that he fell sick and stayed home for the day and I was relieved... both because he didn’t bother me today and also because he was fine and at least alive... It was finally time to go home but I wasn’t ready to face that uncle of mine... he’s a pain in the ass...while walking home a girl ran into me knocking me over... “I’m so sorry...I had my earpiece on...I wasn’t looking where I was heading” She stuttered as she hurriedly picked some of my books from the ground... “It’s ok... it’s my fault for not looking where I was going” We both finally finished picking up the books then she turned to me... “You seem like a nice guy... what’s your name?” “Theo...” I said in a low tone “Nice name...my name’s Lyla...Hope I see you again soon at least not exactly in this situation again...” “Thanks, and I hope to see you again too...” She waved and smiled warmly before running off... I walked back home but didn’t go up stairs yet... I wasn’t ready to face him yet...I came back down and just strolled round the neighbour till evening then I climbed the ladder close to the building and up to my room... I was so exhausted from walking all day, so I just needed the sleep and get my mind off things... Adrian’s POV “Malachi?” “Yes boss...” “What are the stats on our mystery man?” “He’s not yet found boss...” “Have you put out the fliers and banners yet... for the job vacancy?” I asked without looking up from the documents in my hand. "Yes," Malachi answered immediately. "Silas is already putting up the flyers around the city." "Every district?" "Yes." "The business centres?" "Done." "The residential areas?" "He started there a few minutes ago." "Good...If anyone calls..." "We'll notify you immediately." "Good...And Malachi..." "Yes, Boss?" "If you hear anything unusual..." "I'll report it." "Good." --- A few minutes later...After Malachi’s report I drove back to my jewellery company "Boss is here." One of the securities whispered to the other as he stands up straight "Hurry...Get to your desks." "Move." "Good morning_ sir." The receptionist stuttered as I walked past her I just took the elevator up to my office and sat at my desk thinking for some time I pulled the nearest file toward myself...flipped through the pages. ‘Profits increased...New suppliers approved...Sales exceeded projections...Not bad...This branch is improving too.’ For a moment, I was satisfied... until I remembered that guy is still roaming around freely "...Still no sign of you." I murmured as my fingers tightened around the file..."I've searched every place...I know you're alive." I reached for my phone... it was already 7:00 AM...No missed calls...No new messages. "No applicants?" I refreshed the page a couple of times but still nothing I sighed in annoyance as I murmured...’What is taking so long?’ I dropped the phone back onto the desk...leaned back and stared lazily at the ceiling...’Someone has to show up...’ --- Theo's POV The alarm beeped loudly once it was 7:30AM and I had to leave the bed no matter how tired I felt... ‘7:30 Already?’ I slapped the alarm in annoyance until it stopped ringing. ‘It's Saturday...’ I remembered...almost laying back down. ‘No.’ I quickly got out of bed. ‘If I sleep again, that's the end of my morning.’ I quietly sneaked into the bathroom...took my bath and hurriedly got dressed for my morning jog ‘Morning walk first.’ I made sure I was very quiet as I sneaked outside the door so my uncle doesn’t wake up ‘This feels nice.’ I walked toward the nearby park...people jogged past me...some walked their dogs...others exercised. As I left the park and started heading back, something caught my attention...a flyer pasted on one of the street poles... ‘Hmm’ I walked a bit closer to see what was written on it... ‘A jewellery company?’ I looked closer...my eyesight was still blurry because I haven’t gotten the glasses for myself... With the little letters I could see, I slowly put together the letters and it read... VACANCY AVAILABLE NOW HIRING ‘No way...They're really employing people." I scanned through the flyer to check for the requirements. ‘I qualify...I actually qualify...This could be it.’ I immediately brought out my phone and took a picture of the flyer. ‘Just in case.’ I saved the number written on the flyer, beneath the advertisement and hurried back home. I stood in front of the building but Instead of going upstairs, I sat on the staircase and opened the photo again. ‘Please let this be real.’ then I finally dialled the number I saved on my phone. It rang for a couple of minutes then someone finally answered. "Hello." "Good morning." I replied nervously... "Good morning," the man responded. "I found one of your flyers on the street." "Yes?" "I'd like to apply for the job." The man over the line kept quite for some time before he finally responded... his voice sounded familiar somehow...but I couldn't place it. "What position are you applying for?" The man finally said... "Any available one." "Do you have previous experience?" "A little." "What kind?" "I've worked with customers before." "I see." I swallowed nervously hoping and praying he accept me then I finally gathered up the courage to ask again... "So... is the position still available?" "Yes." "Really?" "Yes." "Oh, thank goodness." "What's your name?" The man asked "Theo." "Theo..." "Phone number?" “The one I’m using right now to call” "Alright." "So... what happens now?" "We'll review your application." "Will there be an interview?" "Yes." "When?" "We'll get back to you in a couple of hours." "Okay." "If you're selected, someone will contact you." "Thank you." "You're welcome." Then I ended the call...a huge smile spread across my face. "Finally...I finally got a job! I won't mess this opportunity up." I stood at the staircase, slipped my phone into my pocket, and walked up to my room... uncle was still asleep when I entered...

THEO"Whatever he ate earlier appears to have been spiked with something that caused the drowsiness," the doctor explained again Adrian's expression changed."Spiked?" he repeated, his voice dangerously quiet. "Are you telling me someone deliberately put something in his food?""I can't confirm that without further testing. However, his symptoms are consistent with the effects of a substance that can cause drowsiness. We need to take him to a medical facility for proper examination and observation."Adrian looked down at me…I wanted to tell him I could hear everything, but my tongue felt too heavy in my mouth. I could barely keep my eyes open, and the doctor's words seemed to drift in and out of my consciousness."Will he be all right?" Adrian asked."His pulse is stable, which is encouraging, but we shouldn't take any chances. He needs to be monitored until the effects wear off."Adrian nodded, though the tension in his face didn't ease. "Do whatever you need to do."The doctor cont
TOXIC : MY MAFIA PROFESSOR CHAPTER 73 - FRENEMIES
THEO"Stay away from him!" Adrian's voice thundered through the classroom then the men surrounding me froze.I tried to lift my head, but everything remained blurry. I could barely make out their figures, and the room continued to spin around me. My body felt heavy, as though something was holding me down and refusing to let me move then Adrian appeared in front of me.I had never seen him look like that before…His expression was cold, his jaw clenched, and his eyes burned with a fury that made even the masked men hesitate. "Who sent you?" he demanded.None of them answered then one of the men released my arm and stepped backward.Adrian moved closer, placing himself between me and the strangers. "I asked you a question."The tallest man glanced at the others…that brief exchange was enough to tell me they were planning something."Professor..." I whispered.Adrian's head turned immediately. "Theo?"I tried to reach for him, but my arm barely moved.He looked at my face, and whatever h
TOXIC : MY MAFIA PROFESSOR CHAPTER 72 - BITTER - SWEET CAKE
THEOI left Adrian’s office with his warning still running through my mind…he had been unusually serious about Lya. According to him, the information his investigator had uncovered raised more questions than answers. Her family background was unclear, and there was no reliable information explaining where she had come from.I understood why Adrian was concerned, but I couldn't bring myself to believe Lya was necessarily dangerous.She had been friendly to me since we met. She listened when I spoke, made me laugh when I was stressed, and never seemed bothered when I wasn't in the mood to talk but still, Adrian's warning lingered.I had promised myself that I would ask Lya about her family on Friday. Until then, I would be careful about what I told her.I was halfway down the corridor when I spotted her standing outside my classroom…she was leaning against the wall with her phone in her hand. The moment she noticed me, she straightened and slipped the phone into her bag…"Theo!"I slowed
TOXIC : MY MAFIA PROFESSOR CHAPTER 71 - QUESTIONS WITHOUT ANSWERS
THEOI turned to look at Lya.She was watching me with a small smile, as though she'd asked an ordinary question and expected an equally ordinary answer.But I couldn't stop thinking about how often she'd brought up my personal life lately.First, she'd asked about my job, the company I worked for, and my boss. Now she wanted to know where I lived.I didn't think I was being unreasonable by finding it strange.“Why are you suddenly so curious about where I live?” I asked.Her smile faltered slightly. “What do you mean?”“You've asked me several questions about my personal life recently. First, you wanted to know about my work, and now you're asking about my house. I'm just wondering why.”Lya studied me for a moment before leaning back in her chair. “I'm sorry if I've made you uncomfortable.”I waited for her to explain herself, but she didn't. Instead, she gave me a small, almost apologetic smile.“If you don't want to tell me, that's fine. You don't have to.”I wasn't sure what to m
TOXIC : MY MAFIA PROFESSOR CHAPTER 70 - CLOSE ENEMIES
THEO I stared at Adrian, completely offended by his behavior. “Let them ask?” I repeated. “Are you trying to make my life difficult on purpose?”He leaned back in his seat, looking far too pleased with himself. “Not at all.”“Then why would you do that?”“Because I bought you that locket, and I want you to wear it.”“I am wearing it!”“Under your shirt.”I opened my mouth to respond, but nothing came out immediately…this man was unbelievable.I looked down at the locket resting against my chest. The photograph inside meant a lot to me, and I wanted to keep it close. That didn't mean I wanted the entire school examining it and asking questions about who had given it to me. “Adrian, what if people become suspicious?”“Suspicious of what?”I turned to him slowly. “Are you seriously asking me that?”He shrugged. “I don't see the problem.”“Of course you don't. You're the professor. You're the one who can walk around looking confident while the rest of us are left trying to figure out wha
TOXIC : MY MAFIA PROFESSOR CHAPTER 69 - OBSESSIVE LOVER
THEOI turned slowly to look at Adrian and neither of us spoke immediately. Blake's last words were still a shock to both of us and I couldn't help wondering who he had been talking to. From the sound of their conversation, the woman seemed genuinely hurt. Whatever had happened between them, she hadn't expected him to end their relationship so abruptly.Adrian squeezed my hand…“Theo, don't concern yourself with their business.” he saidI looked at him concerned about the girl who's heart has been broken. “But—”“It's Blake's personal life. Whatever happened between him and that woman has nothing to do with us.”I knew he was right. We had no reason to involve ourselves in Blake's relationship, especially when we had only overheard part of the conversation but still, curiosity overwhelmed me. “Do you think he really found someone else?” I whispered.Adrian gave me a questioning look. “Didn't you hear him say so?”“I did, but I don't know. He sounded so angry.”“People say all sorts of
