Mag-log inDerrick’s POVI couldn’t believe my ears. A sudden silence descended over the room after Dr. Carter announced the committee’s decision. Eliana and I exchanged glances and she looked even more surprised than I was. I swallowed hard and my heart thudded in my chest as if I’d just completed a marathon. For the millionth time, Dr. Carter’s words replayed in my mind. “Professor Matthews,” she’d said, “you encouraged and engaged in an inappropriate relationship with your student, while fully aware of the university’s stance on such occurrences. Effective immediately, your employment in this institution has been terminated. You are relieved of all duties in any capacity. Any attempt to contact Miss Hart or any other student enrolled in this University will attract further penalties which may include and not be limited to legal actions.”At that point, I felt my world crumbling around me.But Dr. Carter continued. “You will be escorted to your office to clear your belongings and representati
Eliana’s POVAlmost a week later, the ethics committee finally came to their decision. That morning, I was on my way out of my first class when I received an email from them. My heartrate spiked as soon as I saw the email. To make matters worse, Annabelle wasn’t in school that day. So I had no form of emotional support to help ease my worries. I was stranded and alone. Over the past few days, the number of curious, judgy, and appraising stares I usually received had reduced. It was as if people were beginning to forget about me. Either that or they simply didn’t deem me worthy of their attention anymore. But all of that did nothing to mitigate the guilt and the unhappiness that I felt. And it only got worse with each passing minute.Since I had no other class that day, I decided to hang around a little before I was due to meet the committee. The time was just past eleven and I had two hours and thirty minutes to kill. In the last week, I’d only seen Derrick three times. And two of tho
Eliana’s POVDerrick’s wife fixed me with a serious stare. “Before I start, do you know how long I’ve been married to Derrick?” she asked.“Fourteen years,” I answered instantly.Her eyes slowly widened in surprise. I gave myself a mental kick as I realized my mistake.“I see you and Derrick have talked about a lot,” she remarked dryly.I stayed silent, unable to think of anything sensible to say. She waited a few beats before continuing. “What else did you two talk about? He’s told you a lot about me, hasn’t he?”“No, ma’am,” I lied.The slow nod of her head and the skeptical look in her eyes made it clear she didn’t believe me. She shifted in her chair slightly, staring at me as if she could see right through me.“You see, when I was still in college, I fell in love sooner than I expected. At the time, I wasn’t looking to get involved with anyone again. I had just come out of a toxic relationship and was short on trust to give anyone. That was when I was around your age—or maybe a l
Eliana’s POV“Fuck off, Oliver,” Annabelle said firmly.Slowly and reluctantly, I lifted my gaze to meet his own. My stomach twisted with hatred and a million unpleasant thoughts jumped to my mind at once. Everything ended with Oliver losing a vital part of his body.He flashed Annabelle a smug smile, then he returned his gaze to me. “I’m surprised they still let you come to school. Professor Matthews too. Aren’t they supposed to suspend you or something first?”I said nothing. Same as Annabelle. It was easy to tell that we were both waiting for him to leave. If he wouldn’t listen to force, then silence should be a more applicable method of effecting his absence.Oliver lifted one eyebrow, as though demanding an answer. Annabelle and I maintained our silence. It was a little bit awkward for the three of us to be around each other in silence but it turned out to be worth the wait. He opened his mouth to say something else but the words never made it out as someone called his name in th
Eliana’s POV As soon as I stepped past the campus gate, the dreadful feeling in my chest became stronger than it ever was. Pulling my phone out, I sent a text to Annabelle to know where she was. She replied almost immediately. After reading the message, I shoved my phone back into my pocket. Although it was still early in the afternoon, the sun had already shied away, hiding behind a cloud. It stayed that way until I got to the entrance of the faculty building. I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I almost didn’t hear the sound of a car pulling up a short distance away from me. “Eliana,” a voice called out softly. I turned my head, wondering who had such a tiny voice. In a split moment, I had a memory flash. That voice… Realization hit me at the same time that I turned to see Derrick’s wife staring at me through the window of her car. My heart wouldn’t have beat any faster than it did then if I’d suffered a ghost attack. My immediate instinct was to bolt but my legs betrayed me,
Eliana’s POVDerrick’s finger was neither slow nor fast; its pace was just enough to nearly drive me crazy. I whimpered helplessly as he fucked me with his fingers. And that was exactly how I felt—helpless and at his mercy.“Look at me,” he coaxed. “I want you to look me in the eyes as I plunge my fingers into your slick pussy.”With his dirty talk, I stood at risk of cumming faster than usual. Everything about what he was doing was purely erotic. The way his fingers took their time as they slid in and out of my wetness, the way he talked me through it in his intoxicating voice, and the way he stared at me. His eyes made it clear that he intended to ruin me with his fingers.His gaze arrested mine while his hand slid down from my mouth to grab my thigh. With his hand there, he pulled me closer, making his fingers go all the way in. I moaned aloud, gripping the headrest tighter.“You like that, huh?” he asked.I opened my mouth to speak, but a moan escaped instead. Heat stirred in my b
