All Chapters of HOT PROFESSOR NEXT DOOR: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

I stared at her for a moment, wondering if she had actually heard herself. "What if I told you I have no interest in whatever you came here for?" I asked, closing my laptop.Her smile faltered, but only briefly."You're quick to dismiss me, Professor." She moved around the chair opposite my desk, trailing her fingers along its back. "You haven't even given me a chance.""I don't need to."She laughed softly, as though she found my response amusing, then finally sat down without my permission.My brows creased. "Did I tell you to sit?"Her smile disappeared for a second before she stood up again."You're always this serious?""Only when someone refuses to understand simple instructions." I checked my watch. "I have a class in a few minutes, Tania. Whatever game you're playing, I'm not interested. Leave."She blinked, clearly not expecting me to be so blunt. "You're really going to send me away just like that?"I tilted my head slightly. "Would you prefer I call security?"Her lips part

THIAGO'S POVI sat beside Ariana's bed, gently rubbing my thumb over her knuckles as I watched her sleep. She hadn't moved much since we came in, and although the nurse had assured us she was stable, seeing her like this was enough to ruin my entire day.My eyes drifted to the bandage on her arm, and I let out a quiet breath. Two stitches. One on her arm and another on her thigh. It wasn't the worst injury she could have sustained, but that didn't make it any easier to accept. She had been hurt, and I hadn't been there to protect her.I hated it.Maya shifted in her seat and glanced down at her hands. The blood had dried in patches across her skin, and she looked increasingly uncomfortable as she stared at it."I'm going to use the restroom," she whispered, looking at Ariana before turning to me. "I need to wash my hands."I nodded. "Go ahead. I'll stay with her."Maya gave Ariana one last worried look before quietly leaving the room, closing the door behind her.I turned back to my

THIAGO'S POV I drove with one hand on the steering wheel, slowing down whenever I approached a bump.After a while, I glanced at the passenger seat.Ariana was asleep, my jacket wrapped around her frame. The weather was a bit chilly, and since she was already exhausted from everything that had happened today, I'd rather she stayed warm and comfortable.Her head rested against the seat, and her injured arm lay carefully across her lap. Even in her sleep, she looked tired.I turned back to the road, adjusting the car's temperature slightly.My class had been cancelled because I couldn't make it, but I had already sent the lecture materials to the course representative. The students could read through them before our next class, when I'd explain everything properly.For now, I had more important things to worry about.Like getting my girlfriend home without causing her any more pain.Maya had left a while ago because she had a project to work on. She'd apologised for leaving Ariana wit

ARIANA'S POVThiago glanced at the phone in my hand, then back at my face. “Baby, I wasn't trying to take your phone.”I blinked, suddenly embarrassed by my reaction.“I was only about to help you up so I could carry you to the dining room. The food has been delivered, remember?”“Oh.” I loosened my grip on the phone. “I'm sorry. I…”I trailed off, unable to explain myself without revealing the truth.Thiago's expression softened. “It's okay, sweetheart. You don't have to apologise.”He gently took my phone from the bed and placed it on the bedside table before sliding one arm behind my back and the other beneath my knees. “Ready?” he asked.I nodded and wrapped my good arm around his neck as he lifted me carefully.The movement pulled at my injured thigh, and I winced, burying my face against his shoulder.“So sorry baby,” he murmured, adjusting me in his arms. “I've got you.”I closed my eyes, trying to calm the fear twisting inside me. The message was still fresh in my mind, and ev

THIAGO'S POV“Babe, who's she?”Isabella's question made my jaw tighten, but I barely spared her a glance. My attention was on Ariana, who stood beside the door with one hand gripping the frame for support. The moment our eyes met, I saw the hurt in hers, and my heart dropped.Fuck.No. No, no, no.This wasn't what it looked like, and I needed her to understand that before Isabella's bullshit put ideas into her head that would be difficult to erase.“Baby, look at me,” I said gently, stepping towards Ariana with the sweater still in my hand. “Please, don't listen to anything she's saying. This isn't what you think it is.”Ariana stared at me without answering, her expression making my chest tighten even more.Behind her, Isabella let out a small laugh. “Wow, Thiago. You're not even going to introduce us? That's rude, don't you think?”I turned my head towards her, my expression hardening. “Nobody asked you to come here, Isabella. I don't know how many times I have to tell you that I'm
