The Professor's Beautiful Secret Chapter 126
Eliana’s POV The sound of Derrick’s car pulling into the driveway juggled me out of my thoughts. I jumped to my feet as the rhythmic sound of the engine sliced through the silence, and then died down after a few seconds. In the one hour that he’d been gone, I started questioning my intelligence and emotional stability. Long moments of thinking had led me back to my right senses. It had been very stupid of me to allow Susan to get into my head like that, and to go on to pile it all on Derrick. Uncertain about what was going to happen next, I dashed towards the door. Derrick was already stepping out of his car as I stepped onto the front porch. I immediately noticed that there was a strain in his walking step, and the way he clutched his left rib with one hand confirmed what I thought. He was injured. “Derrick. Oh, my God. What happened?” I asked as I rushed to his side. “Nothing,” he mumbled, pushing me aside gently. He winced a little from the effort but he kept on going. For som

Derrick’s POV I tried the door handle and I felt my anger rise a notch at seeing that it was locked. Turning my right hand into fists, I gave the door a series of hard knocks that I would have hated if I had been on the other side of it. In the silence that followed, I could hear my pulse thudding in my ears. I would probably explode if I didn’t find an avenue to dump all the anger and tension that had built up inside me. When no response came after a few moments, I lifted my hand to knock again. The lock suddenly clicked then, and the door swung open. I found myself face to face with Jake, instead of Susan. His face was a mask of confusion and he cast me a questioning gaze with his fierce, brown eyes. The fact that I had spotted his car wasn’t enough to keep me from being surprised at seeing him open the door. “What a surprise,” I sneered at him before pushing past him and storming into the house. “Susan!”“Derrick…” Jake started to say but his words were lost in the distance as I

Derrick’s POV I knew immediately that something was wrong as the door swung open. There was a glaring contrast between the version of Eliana that I left and the one that came to open the door. Her face was pale, and her eyes teary. Accompanying the tears in her eyes was a sadness that struck me straight to the heart. “What happened, love?” I asked could almost feel my heart sinking in my chest as I put my arm around her. She recoiled from my touched with a swiftness that left me stunned. “Eliana?” I said, eyes widening with surprise. Wordlessly, she spun on her heels and walked away. I quickly locked the door behind me and hurried after her. A few moments later, I met her curled up on the edge of the bed in our bedroom. “Eliana? What’s wrong?” I walked over to the side and fell into a crouch beside her. Her closed eyes opened briefly, before she rolled over and turned her back to me. I felt a brief flash or irritation in me, but it dissipated as I heard a gentle sob. An uneven m

Eliana’s POV I felt a stab of fear in my chest as Susan and I locked gazes. There was no trace of hostility in her eyes, but that was barely enough reason for me to let go of my fears. “Hi, Eliana,” she said in a sweet tone that did nothing but send chills down my spine. Along with the uneasy feeling that crawled up to my chest, I felt irritated at myself for not taking precautions before opening the door. “Hi,” I returned to Susan. “So you finally did it,” she remarked, running her eyes all over me in a way that made my skin crawl. If only there was a way to make Derrick suddenly appear. After everything that had happened, the last thing I expected to be doing was dealing with Susan again. But who was I kidding? She’d made it pretty clear the last time that she was never going to let me and Derrick be. And I’d be stupid enough to think that it was a spineless bluff. “You’re really intent on taking my husband from me, aren’t you?” A rude answer to that question quickly spawned
The Professor's Beautiful Secret Chapter 122
Eliana’s POVOver a week later, Derrick and I stood in the kitchen of our new house. I was bubbling with excitement as I turned a full circle, letting my gaze sweep the kitchen. Derrick did the same thing and we both stopped when we were facing each other again. “Oh, my God. I love it so much,” I said gleefully. My cheeks hurt due to how much I’ve been smiling since we arrived there.Derrick gave me a look of complete adoration that made my stomach flutter. “I’m glad you love it. Welcome to our new home, love.” Unable to find the words to express my excitement, I threw my arms around his neck and gave him a wet kiss on the lips. His hand fell to my ass and he fondled it, kissing me back with the same intensity that I did.I moaned softly against his lips, taking all the sweetness it had to offer. When he broke the kiss seconds later, I did a quick scan of the kitchen again. The whole thing still felt surreal. Twenty-hours ago, I was lying on my bed, trying to cook up an excuse to g

Eliana’s POV I was already giving up on waiting when my phone rang. I didn’t need to look at the caller ID to know that it would be Derrick’s name that would be there. Rather than answer the call, I grabbed my phone and rushed out of my room. After being in an apprehensive state for almost an hour, I was more than relieved that he had finally shown up. Spending the last two days without him while knowing that he was pissed at me was one of my most painful experiences ever. And now that he was here, I still couldn’t silence the voice in my head that was whispering to me that there was nothing I could do to fix my mistakes. As I exited the building and crossed the street, my chest suddenly filled with worry about what he might have to say. Afterall, he hadn’t said that he’d forgiven me over the phone. All he agreed to do was to talk. What if that didn’t end the way I expected it to?Fighting hard to keep my fears at bay, I grabbed the door handle and pulled it open. Derrick’s head swu
