Derrick’s POV

“Hit me,” Lenny said as he leaned against the counter.

I stared down at the glass of tequila in front of me. Returning my gaze to him, I raised the glass to my lips and emptied the contents into my mouth. A strong, burning sensation traveled down my throat as the liquid made its way through. Lenny patiently waited for me to be done with all that.

Barely two seconds after the first shot, my throat was already itching for another. “It’s a long story, but I’ll give you a quick summary,” I said to Lenny, pushing the empty glass towards him.

He received it and refilled it faster than I could prepare my story. Once I had the glass in my hand, I started narrating my plight to him. He listened with rapt attention as I told him everything starting from when Eliana arrived at Emerald to when Oliver started his witch hunt for us, to how the whole thing ended.

Whatever Lenny thought about the whole thing, it wasn’t evident on his face. When I was done, he took his own glass and down

  • The Professor's Beautiful Secret   Chapter 96

    Derrick’s POVI woke up to the sound of strange voices. They were coming from all around me, as if I was surrounded by a large crowd. My eyes slowly fluttered open. Up above was a bright white that nearly rendered me blind. A sharp burst of pain seared through my brain and I winced in agony. The voices suddenly stopped talking, then I felt a hand on mine. The hand was warm, comforting, as if trying to assure me that I was safe. As the pain in my head subsided, I opened my eyes again. The time around, I immediately diverted my gaze to the side.“Yeah. He’s awake,” a voice said. It was feminine but firm. My eyes traced it back to the owner. A tall woman in a light blue nurse’s uniform stood a few metres away from my bed. Reazliation hit me after one look at her dressing. I was in the hospital, however that happened. Another similarly dressed woman stood beside her. While the second one started walking towards the door, the tall woman moved closer to my bed. I blinked a few times befo

  • The Professor's Beautiful Secret   Chapter 94

    Derrick’s POVThe worst day of my life was the day I lost my mother. It was a loss I never recovered from, no matter how hard I tried. I’d been nothing less than devastated when I heard the news. My chest slowly tightened until I found it hard to respirate. My heart sank to the darkest depths of my soul and remained there for a very long time. It was during that period that Susan came into my life. She brought light to the dark corners I’d condemned myself to, and had kept me afloat ever since. I never thought I would have to deal with that feeling of hopelessness and despair again. Until the day the ethics committee passed their judgement. I had no idea how I managed to stay alive because I was sure my heart was no longer in my chest. It had shattered into a million pieces immediately after Dr. Carter told me my fate. And so I left the place that had contributed greatly to the last twelve years of my life. After leaving the premises, I drove to the only place I knew could help me i

    Eliana’s POV Jared’s eyes continued their journey around my body and he made no attempt to be discreet about it. The fact that he had seen me naked before didn’t make it any less uncomfortable. Carmen’s voice interrupted the awkward silence between us. “It turns out we were wrong. I didn’t–“She suddenly stopped talking as she stepped into view. Both Jared and I shifted our attention to her. She knitted her brows, focusing her gaze on me. “What’s going on here?”Jared beat me to the punch. “Nothing. Can we go now?”Carmen's eyes ran over my body but with less interest than Jared’s own. Her gaze shifted to him afterwards. “Uh, were you checking my roommate out?”“Of course not,” Jared said without flinching. “She’s not even my taste.”A gasp immediately made its way up my throat but I forced it back down. Jared’s words had struck me straight to the heart. Carmen’s gaze returned to rest on me and she chuckled lightly.“Is any girl ever your taste?” She asked Jared.Jared shrugged as i

    Eliana’s POVI was caught between emotions as I headed home that day. After the committee passed their judgement, I felt so relieved that it almost made me dizzy. But that relief was forced to make room for pity for Derrick. It didn’t seem fair that he was the only one that had to suffer for everything that happened between us. I couldn’t help but to feel as if my presence in his life was what had eventually ruined it. My heart felt heavy and it remained that way till I got home. Even though the following day was a Friday and my suspension did not start until the following Monday, I decided not to go to school the next day. I had no reason to, especially when I knew that news of what happened would be fresh on the mind of everyone. As soon as I got home, I took my phone and began to type a text to send to Derrick. Halfway through, I deleted the whole thing and started again. After typing a whole paragraph, I deleted it again and restarted. That happened a few more times then I droppe

  • The Professor's Beautiful Secret   Chapter 91

    Derrick’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
