Semua Bab The Professor's Beautiful Secret: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Derrick's POV The first thing I felt was disbelief when I saw him leaving the building. Then I felt my chest tightening with anger. In my head, I was already jumping out of the car and going over to accost him. I could see myself beating him till he was nothing but a bloody mess of organs. But I was too crippled with anger to move from where I sat. So I simply watched him as he made his way down the street. The next thing I thought of was to tail him. After another few seconds, I discarded that idea too. Blood was pumping to all parts of my body as I continued steaming with no avenue to let it all out. It hurt. What Eliana did hurt like hell. After she had so graciously kicked me out of the house, I decided not to go immediately. And it was a good thing I didn't because I wouldn't have seen the so-called stranger leaving the house a good twenty minutes later. They spent twenty whole minutes in the apartment alone. I hadn't missed the sudden softness in her tone when she was talking

Eliana's POV The sound was faint at first. I paused my crying for a moment, paying attention to every sound within range. It came again, louder than it did the last time. Someone was at the door. Sniffing, I climbed out of bed. Before heading out, I took a pause in front of the mirror to see how I looked. Seeing how puffy and reddened my eyes were, I knew that trying to fix it in a rush would be a lost cause. Whoever was at the door had just won a one time free pass to see me in that messy state. The knock came again as I left my room. It was so soft that it seemed like the person there had been conflicted about rapping the door with or without force. Sniffing one last time, I wiped my eyes again and opened the door. Brown eyes. Tall and slender figure. Tank top. Of course, it had to be him. I immediately regretted not taking more time to tidy my face up. It was also at that moment that I came aware of how messy my hair had become. “Hi.” His tone was soft and calculated, as if he

Eliana's POV Electric sparks went off in my brain. His lips were softer and more comforting than his arms. Their silky texture made me wish I could melt my lips there forever. His hand slid down to my waist as the kiss deepened. The tingles were all over my body now and I felt a tiny ache in my loins. He broke the kiss suddenly, staring into my eyes. It was as if he was giving me a chance to end things before they went any further. For a brief second, I almost did that. But I felt the pull of his eyes again and I threw caution to the wind. Draping my arms around his neck, I pulled him in for another kiss. It was so good that I felt heat pooling in my stomach as a result. His hand slid lower, going for the curves of my butt. The more of his mouth that he offered, the more I realized I wanted. Something suddenly forced my legs to move. It wasn't until he broke the kiss again that I was able to make use of my brain to find out what it was. He was pushing me into the room. I went in fo

Eliana's POV Neither of us moved for the next few minutes. My breath had slowed, same as Jared's own. I felt his gaze on my body a few times but I made sure to keep my eyes glued to the ceiling. It still felt like he was inside me. And the thought of that filled me with a little bit of pleasure. Jared broke the lack of movement first. I felt the bed sinking underneath me as he moved to the edge. Then, I met his gaze. He looked sated and fulfilled. His lips curved into a small, pleased smile. He looked like he was about to say something but no words left his mouth as he rose to his feet. I observed in silence as he gathered his clothes and put them on. I was conscious of his eyes roaming my naked body as he did that. But I didn't have the will to move and cover up. So I let him enjoy what I intended to be his last sight of me naked. He had a smile on his face all through. “Uh, I gotta go now,” he announced when he was fully dressed. “Feel better now?”“Yeah. Thank you.” I got off

Derrick's POV “How did it go with the committee yesterday?” I asked Eliana. The living room became silent afterwards. To stop my gaze from returning to her breasts, I kept it glued to her face. Both of us stared at each other in the silence as I waited for her response. Finally, she spoke, adjusting slightly in her seat. I listened with rapt attention as she narrated everything that went down with the ethics committee. When she was done, I couldn't think of a single thing to say. Judging by everything she'd said, the situation was really bad. I knew the ethics committee to be ruthless. I was familiar with some of the people there and I knew how they were on personal levels. But I hadn't expected them to be as brutal as they had been to Eliana. And after hearing the type of questions that they’d thrown her way, I could only imagine how much worse my own would be. I was definitely cooked. “How long do you think it will take before they call on me again?” She asked. Instead of fear,
