All Chapters of Professor Dearest: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

ARLETTE’S POVI walk out of the pub wondering how I’m going to get to the mall without my absence not being quite alarming when Reyes words cut through me like a knife. “Oh, you can’t go to the mall. Your boyfriend was there and he made a scene. I’ll advice you come up with a lie and get a cab home.” He spits out walking towards his car. “Hop in, I’ll leave you in town,” he says and I follow because night had fallen now and I can’t even believe we spent all those time on the road and in the pub. I get into the van and once more, my eyes are folded and I feel shivers run down my spine. I’m plotting something in my head, I can’t go back to Matteo without a stable lie. After so many twists and turns around, I’m dropped off in an alley and the van speeds off. Removing the blindfold, I feel anger seeping through every creek of my body. It’s crazy how my body knows how to be fearful. Removing my phone, I notice the number of missed calls I’ve had. It’s crazy how many times Matteo

ARLETTE’S POVThis man is trying to toy with me by making me frustrated with how good he is towards me. I’m wiser than this, I should fucking not be falling for this. Well, that’s easy to say because right at it, my eyes starts shutting close and not long after he plasters a soft kiss on my forehead, urging me to sleep, I obey, letting my body relax from this safety. I sleep the entire night as well as part of the morning and when I wake up, Matteo is nowhere to be found. I quickly take a bath and have a change of clothes. Everything looked and felt normal until I touched the door that will be out.“What is the matter? Why am I locked in here?” I wondered out loud hanging the door, my anger big and dreadful. As long as I am in here time is passing, and where the hell is Matteo? I wonder as I pummel on the door hoping and begging that someone at least will hear and come open it up for me. I notice a platter of food like the one yesterday and I reach for it my stomach churning. I

ARLETTE’S POVMy body hurts. Fuck, each layer of my body feels like I’ve been hit by a freight train and there is barely anything I can do. Matteo was harsh with his punishment and at one point I thought that he would actually go harder punishing my fiercely. But he had stopped. Released me, handed me some fresh clothes and walked out of the room, no questions asked. Now, five hours after that and I’ve rested so well, I’m ready to face the world even though I am so exhausted. I sent a message to Charlie earlier and she hadn’t responded and I know she has taken some blows for me. I wished I could tell her how sorry I am, but she will just open up to Matteo if he dares ask her any information concerning me. I did the right thing keeping this away from her. They wouldn’t see no need in torturing her if she confesses that she knows nothing. Remembering the burner phone that Reyes had given me, I reach out to my pockets of the trousers I was wearing that day looking for it. I don’

ARLETTE’S POVPain sears through me as I hear the thumping sound of a machine beeping without stop. It’s loud. It’s aching and I want it to stop. BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! The constant sound resonates in my ear. Twisting awake, I open my eyes and bright lights flash into my eyes. I quickly close it, bile rising to my throat. “You need to relax ma’am, you are going to go under shock if you keep shaking,” a voice I do not recognize speaks to me. The light in the room is deemed and darkness swamps the room. It is a little lighter now and I love whatever feeling this is when I remember of the pain cutting through me. Then, it rushes all back into my head. Edmond Reyes. That demon. How I had decided to open up to Matteo, how he hadn’t listened to me. Fuck! If only he had, I wouldn’t have gone through all this stress. Forcing to open my eyes once more, the nurse is in front of me, taking my vitals as she smiles warmly at me. “Water,” I manage to croak out. She has this sad look o

ARLETTE’S POVStill standing on his apology, he took out an envelope from his pocket and stretched it to Gina. Crystal who was done from her room, thought of notifying Gina about her appointment with Blaze's lawyer so heading to her room, she had no idea that Marco had already gone into her room, knocking on the door and opening it almost at the same time, she met Marco with his hand stretched towards Gina."What are you doing here?" she interrogated glimpsing Gina wanting to rise in fear but Crystal asking her not to stand up, kept a frown still at Marco. Keeping his calm, he told Crystal that he just wanted to apologize to Gina for the trouble and also to give her the envelope."We do not need your envelope," she yelled out telling him to get out of her room. Charlie seeing how angry Crystal was, informed her that Matteo was not at fault for what had happened to her. Narrating what had happened, Marco was surprised that she was not mad at him actually as she took his defense. Cry
