  • The Pregnancy Test Mix-Up   Chapter 10

    The semester finally drew to a close.Thanks to Adrian's brutal tutoring schedule, I didn't just pass my finals. I finished in the top three in my department.Chloe hugged me and cried, calling it "a double win in love and academics."But the day before winter break, explosive news ripped through the department.Adrian had resigned from his visiting professorship to run his family's investment firm full-time.The shirt I was folding slipped from my hands. My mind went blank.He was leaving? Why hadn't he told me?I called again and again, panic rising, but every call went straight to voicemail.I ran to his office. It was already empty, apart from a few textbooks he hadn't packed.Panic hit me like a wave.Had every promise, every tender look, every declaration been nothing more than a passing amusement?Now that the game was over, was he simply walking away?I stumbled out of the building in a daze. Thick snow had begun to fall."Vivian!" Chloe ran toward me and caught my arm. "Come o

    After the gala, we returned to the apartment.Adrian had drunk quite a bit tonight. The faint scent of whiskey mingled with his usual cedarwood cologne.He loosened his tie, tossed his jacket onto the sofa, and leaned back, rumpled and devastatingly attractive.I poured him a glass of warm water and held it out. "Drink some water. You'll feel better."He didn't take the glass. Instead, he seized my wrist and pulled.I let out a gasp as I tumbled into his arms.He buried his face in the curve of my neck, his warm breath ghosting across my skin and sending shivers down my spine."Vivian," he murmured, his voice low and rough."Hmm?" I ran my fingers through his tousled hair."Do you think that night at the bar was an accident?" He lifted his head and held my gaze.I blinked. "Wasn't it?"I'd been blackout drunk. I had no idea how I'd even ended up talking to him.Adrian laughed softly, trailing his fingers over my cheek. "It wasn't an accident."His expression turned serious, almost stub

    That evening, Adrian was taking me to an important charity gala.I studied my reflection in the full-length mirror. The burgundy velvet designer gown hugged every curve.A diamond necklace worth a small fortune rested at my throat. Adrian had fastened it himself."Beautiful." Adrian slipped his arms around my waist from behind and rested his chin against my shoulder."Isn't this a bit much?" I tugged at the hem of my dress, a little uneasy."You're my date. I want everyone to know it." He laughed softly and kissed my earlobe."Shall we, princess?"The moment Adrian appeared, he became the center of attention.Guests approached him one after another. Through it all, he kept a hand at my waist and introduced me the same way: "This is my partner, Vivian Harper."I did my best to maintain a gracious smile and not embarrass him.Midway through the evening, several executives pulled Adrian into a conversation. I wandered over to the dessert table on my own."Can I get you a drink?" one of th

    Campus IT eventually traced the anonymous post to Anna. After the university concluded that she'd deliberately spread false accusations, her scholarship application was denied, and she withdrew before transferring elsewhere.As for Adrian and me, our relationship was no longer a secret.The entire department knew that the untouchable Professor Sinclair was hopelessly, incurably protective of his girlfriend.That weekend, I went shopping with Chloe.Chloe had been miserable lately. A follow-up test had shown the original result was a false positive, but somehow her ex had heard about it.He was a spoiled trust-fund kid who coasted through life on family money and bullied everyone around him."He's blackmailing me," Chloe said, eyes red, voice shaking. "He says if I don't pay, he'll tell everyone I sleep around and practically live at the OB-GYN. He'll claim I faked the pregnancy to scam him and pin everything on me.""Let him try!" I was shaking with rage. "We're going to the police rig

    After that confession, whatever had been simmering between Adrian and me became real.Adrian voluntarily filed a conflict-of-interest disclosure with the department, removed me from my assistant position, and transferred my tutoring to another professor.The day midterm grades were posted, a scandal exploded across the campus forum.The headline screamed: SHOCKING! FAILING BUSINESS STUDENT SLEEPS HER WAY TO THE TOP, SEEN ENTERING VISITING PROFESSOR'S LUXURY APARTMENT AFTER DARK!The post included several blurry photos.One showed me getting out of Adrian's unmistakable black Maybach, his profile just visible through the window.The account was anonymous, but the venom and jealousy in every line pointed straight to Anna.A professor trading grades for sex was one of the most serious allegations a university could face.If we couldn't prove otherwise, I could be expelled, and Adrian's career would be over.I sat in my dorm, reading the vile comments under the post, tears streaming down m

    I waited for his anger. I waited for him to punish me the way he punished everyone who lied to him.But it never came.Adrian closed his eyes and drew in a long, slow breath.I barely breathed, afraid the slightest sound would break the calm before the storm.Adrian stayed on one knee, staring at me for a full thirty seconds.Just when I thought he was going to strangle me, he moved.He stood, took off his tailored suit jacket, and wrapped it around me without a word.He didn't explode. He didn't throw me out. Instead, he bent down and scooped me up in his arms, jacket and all."P-Professor." I was so startled that I stuttered."Quiet." His voice was hoarse.He carried me to the bedroom, laid me on the soft bed, pulled the covers up tightly around me, and walked out.I heard the front door open and close.He left?I burrowed under the covers, emotions churning.He had to be furious. He probably couldn't stand the sight of me and my lies.Less than twenty minutes later, the front door o
