Lucian's grip tightened on the phone.

“Is something wrong?” Laura asked cluelessly.

“Oh nothing of concern,” he lied through his teeth. “Can you give me a minute?”

“Why? I was hoping to say hello to her. It'll be rude not to officially introduce us, you know,” Artemis drawled and Lucian resisted the urge to snap at him.

This boy was definitely going to be the death of him.

“Alright. I'll talk to you later,” Laura said simply and walked out. Lucian let out a breath.

  • Tame This Bad Boy, Professor   Stefan

    Chapter sixty-five Music echoed through the room as bodies collided. Alcohol mixed with sweat filled the room and glasses clicked from every corner, accompanied by loud cheers. Artemis glanced at the invitation one last time. Apartment 579. He was in the right place. His eyes scanned through the room of college kids, searching for someone that gave even a little vibe of a secret admirer. The gift bag was in his hand. When Melinda brought over the stuff from his locker—which he hadn’t asked her to—he wanted to dump it all and just forget everything about Kingston until he saw the gift bag. It was different from the ones he always got—customized with his initials on them. Curiosity won over and he opened it, only to find the most ridiculously expensive gifts. He also noticed that the admirer had taken time to correct the scent. The effort was what prompted him to accept the invitation.He wanted to know what this person looked like at least and why she had so much money to spare. H

  • Tame This Bad Boy, Professor   Let's Not See Each Other Again

    Chapter Sixty-FourLet’s Not See Each Other AgainLucian froze in his step on hearing those words. He turned towards the students who were gossiping. They were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn’t even notice him walking towards them.“I don’t think Artemis would just drop out like that. This isn’t the first time he’s skipping school for weeks,” the second girl argued. “I’m serious! Everyone is talking about it. You know that new girl?” The first girl defended. “Melinda? The one who claimed to have something to do with him? She came yesterday to transfer schools. Those two girls that always hang around her said she was leaving because Artemis was leaving.”Lucian stopped in front of them. Melinda? The same girl Artemis kissed back then?An ugly feeling rose in his chest but he ignored it and cleared his throat, drawing the attention of the girls. They jumped back in fright, ready to scurry away when Lucian threw his question. “Is it true? Artemis McAlester is really

  • Tame This Bad Boy, Professor   Gossip

    Chapter Sixty-ThreeGOSSIPTwo weeks. Two whole weeks and Lucian was yet to hear a word from Artemis. He tried everything he could think of, even contacted Trevor but the man refused to give him any answers. Exams were just around the corner and after that Kingston was going on break. The week had been hectic and this week was going to be even worse but all eh could think about Artemis.Lucian had replayed their last conversation over a thousand times in his head but he still couldn't figure out what went wrong. He couldn't shake off this nagging feeling in his chest that something was wrong. “Professor Lucian! Are you listening?” Fingers snapped in his face and he blinked, realizing he'd zoned out on Laura again. “Sorry, what did you say?” He asked politely. The woman's nose flared in annoyance. “You've been out of it these days. Am I that much of a bore or is there something bothering you?” She questioned. Lucian stared at her blankly for a second. The woman was still the sam

    His own voice shifted to that of a woman in his ears. “You poor poor thing… your father forced you to do bad things again, didn't he?” A cold shudder ran through him as found himself in that dark room again, curled in a corner sobbing into his laps.The sound of her heels clicking against the marble floors as she walked to him. She crouched over to his small frame, raising his head gently.His teary grey eyes stared into her soft brown ones. “You don't deserve any of that, baby. A sweet little boy like you shouldn't suffer so much,” her voice sounded kind, almost loving. “I brought you some cake. Happy birthday.”“Really?” His eyes shone as she pulled out some cupcakes from the little bag she carried. His eyes grew big and teary as she handed it to him. He hadn't had came in almost three years. His mother was the last person to get him one but even she was gone now. He took a large bite, tears filling his eyes to the brim as he ate. They tasted so good. “You like it?”“Yes.”“Ar

    Chapter Sixty-TwoA mess“I didn't find any name under Terry or Levi. There is no Lucian Meyers either,” Leo informed Artemis. “I did find one remotely related to the specialized security service your father partners with.” Artemis chewed on his fingernails nervously. It had been a week since Lucian was here. After the man left, he'd instructed the doctors to tell him that he was discharged. As unbelievable as it sounded, the doctors did it anyway and were finally able to convince Lucian to look for him elsewhere. The professor was blowing up his phone with messages and calls. There were even some from his father, which was even stranger but Artemis just wanted to take the time to process things. He didn't just want to jump to conclusions blindly. That was why he contacted Leo. “Aaron Tanner is his name. I dug deeper and discovered he is our wdowed professor. It suddenly made sense why we couldn't find any background data on him the last time. He is…”“So he's just another one of

  • Tame This Bad Boy, Professor   The Brutal Reality

    Chapter Sixty-TwoTHE BRUTAL REALITY When Artemis opened his eyes, his body felt several pounds heavier than normal. It ached everywhere and his head was splitting like he was having a bad hangover. He blinked repeatedly, unable to fully open his eyes to the blinding lights. He tried turning over but the pain that shot through him was so intense that a wince fell off of his lips. When his eyes finally adjusted, the first thing that caught his eyes was the ceiling. His gaze shifted to the unfamiliar surroundings. Where was he?“You're awake,” An all too familiar voice jolted his brain back to action and the memories came flooding him. Moving cars, gunshots and then…Lucian. His breath caught. God, Lucian! His stomach twisted tightly as he remembered those horrified eyes. “You're lucky to be alive. For a second I thought we lost you,” The man went on. Artemis' gaze shifted to Terry who was leaning against the wall, just across him. His stomach twisted. So it wasn't his mind pla

    Chapter 22A Little PresentLucian made the mistake of relaxing after Laura told him about her trip. He simply assumed that just because she was going out of the country, Artemis wouldn't find a way to reach her. A big mistake on his part. The second mistake was that he didn't bother to call her.
