Lessons In Corruption

Some lessons aren't meant to be learned. They're meant to be survived. Ava Sterling thought her final year at Crestmore University would be simple: ace her classes, protect her scholarship, and stay out of trouble. But everything spirals when she walks into class and sees the man she slapped at a club the weekend before—now standing at the front of the room as her new professor. Dr. William Reid. Brilliant. Intense. Completely off-limits. Twice her age. And married. Worse? He hasn’t forgotten their first encounter… and he refuses her apology. Instead, he promises to make her fail. Desperate and reckless, Ava makes a bold offer—herself. And shockingly, he doesn’t refuse. What should have been a one-time mistake on his desk becomes a dark, consuming arrangement. Now, they’re entangled in a web of lust, lies, and obsession. Careers are on the line. Reputations. Lives. Because in the end, it’s not just Ava’s grades at risk— it’s her heart.

“Tungkol sa proposal mo, tinatanggap ko na,” bulong ko na parang sikreto kahit na kaming dalawa lang naman ang nakakarinig. “Hmm?” Himig niya habang nginunguya ang natirang burger sa bibig. “Gawin na natin,” medyo malakas at may confidence na sabi ko. “Gawin ang ano?” Sabay lagok sa kaniyang drink. Dapat nagdahan-dahan ako kung alam ko lang na magugulat siya. Hindi sana ako nabasa nang mabuga niya ang drink niya. “Magsex tayo.” __________ Pagkatapos na ipamukha ng fiance kung gaano siya kainutil dahil walang experience sa sex, lumapit si Luntian sa isang tinatawag nilang "untouchable stripper" na si Reyna para turuan siya nito sa larangan ng sex. Sa gitna ng maiinit nilang lessons, mapipigil ba nila ang damdamin na hindi mahulog? Mapapanindigan ba ang kasunduang walang mahuhulog? Paano kung may epal pang ex-fiance na gustong bumalik?
