The stepbrother I ran away from is my new professor. Chris
Chapter Fifteen— chris★Maliya's POV★"You left early this morning," he said. "I woke up and you were gone.""I didn't want to be late for class.""Class doesn't start until nine. You left at six-thirty."Of course he knew. Of course he'd noticed."I wanted to get here early. Get oriented." I gripped my bag tighter. "Is that all? Because I have another class—""No, that's not all." He pushed off the desk and walked toward me. Slow. Deliberate. "We need to talk about what happened in the kitchen.""There's nothing to talk about.""Mali—""You have a girlfriend, Micaiah. Talking about it doesn't change that."He reached my row and stopped, one hand braced on the seat in front of me. Too close. Not close enough."I told you," he said quietly. "Rhianna's not—""Not what? Not your girlfriend? Because she seems to think she is. And you introduced her as such."His jaw tightened. "It's complicated.""It's really not. You're either with her or you're not.""And if I'm not?"The question hung
The stepbrother I ran away from is my new professor. first day of classes
Chapter Fourteen— First day of classes.★Maliya's POV★First day of classes.I stood in front of my closet at six in the morning, staring at the carefully selected outfit I'd laid out the night before. Black slacks, cream blouse, blazer. Professional. Put-together. The kind of armor that said I have my life under control even when everything was falling apart.At least I wouldn't have to watch Micaiah with Rhianna today. On campus, he was Professor Hayes. I was just another student. Boundaries existed there, even if they didn't anywhere else.I pulled on the slacks and reached for the blouse, catching my reflection in the mirror.The scar stopped me cold.It was small, barely two inches long, centered just below my navel. Thin and pale now, but still visible. Still there.A reminder of what my affair with Micaiah had once cost me.I traced it with one finger, the memory rushing back unbidden. The pain. The hospital. The way my mother had looked at me with disappointment and something
The stepbrother I ran away from is my new professor. video call
Chapter Thirteen— video call.★Maliya's POV★"You're insane."The words came out breathless, barely audible. His thumb was still on my lip, his eyes locked on mine with an intensity that made my knees weak."That's not an answer," he said."I'm not doing this." I stepped back, breaking contact. "You have a girlfriend. This is—we can't—""Can't what?""This!" I gestured between us frantically. "Whatever twisted game you're playing, I'm not—"I turned to leave, to get away from him before I did something stupid like cry or kiss him or both.His hand caught my wrist, spinning me back.Then his mouth was on mine.The cereal bowl clattered to the floor, milk and cornflakes exploding across the tile. I didn't care. Couldn't care about anything except the way he kissed me like he was starving, like the past two days had been killing him too.My hands fisted in his shirt, pulling him closer even as my brain screamed that this was wrong. He had a girlfriend. He'd left me. He'd—His hands slid
The stepbrother I ran away from is my new professor. Rhianna
Chapter Twelve—Rhianna★Maliya's POV★"Mali, come here for a second."Micaiah's voice carried from the foyer. I steadied myself. Ready to pretend I wasn't touching myself minutes ago pretending it was him.Two days. He'd been gone for two full days without a word, and now he was back like nothing happened.I walked downstairs slowly, my heart already racing for reasons I didn't want to examine.He stood at the front door with a girl.She was beautiful in that effortless, expensive way—perfectly styled hair, designer clothes that probably cost more than my entire wardrobe, the kind of smile that looked practiced in mirrors."This is Rhianna," Micaiah said, his hand resting casually on her lower back. "Rhianna, this is Maliya. My stepsister."The word stepsister felt like a knife.Rhianna's smile widened. "Oh my god, finally! Micaiah's told me so much about you." She stepped forward like she was going to hug me, and I took an instinctive step back."Hi," I managed."Rhianna and I just s

Chapter Eleven— fake dating.☆Micaiah's POV☆We sat in his study. Barton himself looked like something out of a mob movie—sixty years old, silver hair slicked back, a pinky ring that caught the light when he moved his hand.Kieran stood behind me, silent and watchful. He'd barely said a word since we arrived."So," Barton said, swirling his scotch. "Daemon Blackwood."I leaned back, keeping my expression neutral. "He's becoming a problem.""A problem." Barton chuckled, low and dry. "That's one way to put it. From what I hear, he's got half of Phoenix locked down. Supply chains, distribution networks, legitimate businesses as fronts. The man's built an empire while you've been playing professor."The jab landed, but I didn't react. "Which is why I'm here.""Asking for help." He studied me over the rim of his glass. "That's not like you, Micaiah. You've always been the lone wolf type. What changed?""Daemon changed. He's expanding faster than anticipated. We need additional resources to

Chapter Ten— hate him, miss him.★Maliya's pov★I couldn't sleep.The anger had burned itself out around midnight, leaving behind something hollow and restless. I'd tried reading, scrolling through my phone, staring at the ceiling—nothing worked. My mind kept circling back to the same question.Where was he?I threw off the covers and walked downstairs in bare feet, telling myself I just needed water. The house was dark and quiet. I filled a glass from the tap and drank it standing at the sink, looking out at the pool lights reflecting off the water. The blue glow made everything look underwater, dreamlike.I should go back to bed. Maybe keep reading that book.Instead, I found myself climbing the stairs again, my feet carrying me past my door. Past the bathroom. Down the hall to the room I'd been avoiding for two days.His door was still open.I stood in the doorway, glass clutched in my hand, and told myself to turn around. To go back to my room like a sane person instead of whatev
