LOGINYou shouldn’t be here, Fiona,” his deep voice rasped against her ear, his hand still pressed against the wall behind her. “Then tell me to leave,” she whispered, her lips trembling inches from his. He didn’t move. He didn’t breathe. And in that moment, she knew he wanted her just as much as she wanted him. Fiona Harry has lived her whole life in a golden cage of wealth, reputation, and suffocating rules. University was supposed to be her escape, her first taste of freedom. But nothing could prepare her for the moment she came face-to-face with Professor Jalen Hart, her father’s best friend. One reckless night changes everything. A drunken mistake turns into an irresistible obsession, pulling her deeper into Jalen’s forbidden world. But secrets don’t stay hidden forever. Between Jude, her possessive friend who knows too much, Marian, Jalen’s wicked wife, and the dangerous power of desire, Fiona is about to risk not only hers and her family’s reputation but her entire future. And what happens when the truth comes out especially to Marian?
View More“Bunny, I’m in here,” he called. His deep, husky voice echoed faintly from a distance, pulling me in like a magnet. I paced through the red, dimly lit hallway in a spinning motion, trying to find where the voice was coming from.
My heart pounded hard—scared yet curious, terrified yet drawn closer—until I reached an entrance. A bright light spilled through the cracks of a wooden door. His voice came again, clearer this time. “Bunny, I’m right here. Don’t keep me waiting.” I pushed the door open, and our eyes met. The light washed over him, highlighting every sharp line of his body. His sculpted abs flexed as he rose from his seat, and I shamelessly drooled over him from head to toe. Heat stirred inside me; I felt a twitch of longing I could not control. He walked towards me in slow, commanding steps. In an instant, he pinned me against the wall, his strong hand holding me firmly in place. “What took you so long? You know I hate waiting,” he murmured, tracing my jawline with his long fingers. His piercing gaze burned through the mask covering half his face. I wished desperately to see the rest of him. “I… I’m sorry,” I whispered, my heart racing like a drum. He leaned in, capturing my lips in a fierce kiss. His hands cupped my breasts, pinching my nipples until a cry slipped out of me. “Ohh…yes,” His tongue raided my mouth, hungry, demanding, and I melted into the pleasure he poured into me. My body trembled; my toes curled. It was unlike anything I had ever felt before. “More… please,” I pleaded breathlessly, guiding his hand down to my already wet thighs. But he resisted, pinning my hand back to the wall as his lips devoured mine. His groans vibrated against me, teasing, tormenting, igniting. My orgasm built rapidly, and his fingers on my nipples drove me to the edge. “You’ll only take what I give,”he groaned. “My little bunny, I like it when you’re at my mercy Fiona,” he murmured between my lips as his fingers find my entrance, pinching my clit so hard. I felt a surge of pleasure pulling my orgasm closer. “Oh… ohhh, I’m gonna cum,” I moaned desperately. Then— Snap! The sound jolted me back to reality. My chest heaved as my eyes flew open. My alarm clock buzzed on the bedside table. Another dream. My heart sank. For years, I’d been haunted by this recurring dream—always ending at the same point. Always leaving me aching. And worst of all, I never saw his face but his voice never left my head. I pressed a pillow over my face, muffling the frustrated scream clawing at my throat. My messy room surrounded me—sketch pads and paintbrushes scattered from last night’s work. I dragged myself out of bed, groggy but hopeful. Today was the day I had been waiting for—the day my admission letter from the University of Arts would arrive. I rushed into the bathroom, then hurried out minutes later, slipping into a dress before racing downstairs. “Don’t be stupid Fiona, stop running. You’ve been warned several times,” my mother snapped, her voice sharp. “Yes, Mum,” I answered quickly, slowing my pace. “And why are you just waking up at this hour?” my father’s deep voice followed, laced with disapproval. “I slept late,” I mumbled. “Again? I think it’s high time we take that device from you until you learn to sleep early,” he scolded, glaring at me over his breakfast plate. “But Dad… I’m sorry,” I whispered. Mr. and Mrs. Harry—my parents. Strict to the bone. I used to think being an only child would make them spoil me. Instead, my life was a prison of endless rules. No friends. No outings. No television for more than an hour every three days. Limited use of my phone. And countless household chores. My father showed mercy occasionally, but my mother? She never missed a chance to make my life harder. Sometimes, I wondered if they were really my parents. But none of that mattered now. Once my admission came through, everything would change. “And where are you going?” my father’s voice cut through my thoughts as I approached the door. “My admission letter is supposed to arrive today, remember?” I replied, my lips curving into a cautious grin. I dared not smile too wide, or they would think I was being careless with my joy. For a moment, silence engulfed the air before I finally got the chance to step outside. The courier van had just driven away when I reached the mailbox. My heart leapt as I saw the envelope with my name on it. Excitement surged through me—I almost tore it open right there. But tradition forced me to turn back. My father had to be the one to open it. I ran back inside and handed it to him. He didn’t delay, surprisingly. Tearing it open, he read silently while I tried to act calm, sitting at the table. “Hmm… for once, I’m proud of you,” he said. My chest filled with fire. I got in. My mind screamed it, though I kept my body composed. “Thank you, Dad,” I replied softly. “You did your best,” he added, “but we’ll see if you can keep up with the work and not be an embarrassment to us.” Mum concluded. “I won’t, Mum,” I answered quickly when she scoffed, her words sharp enough to cut but I was used to it already. The rest of the morning passed quietly. I cleaned the dishes, then slipped back to my room, closing the door behind me—I screamed silently, giggling and wiggling at the same time. Excitement bubbled inside me. I picked up my phone to search for the university pictures, and my imagination soared. I sketched one of the buildings in my pad, dreaming of my first day, until the doorbell rang downstairs. I hurried downstairs. The moment I opened the door, a pleasant, familiar scent wrapped around me. “Fiona, dear, how are you?” the woman asked warmly. “Good morning, please come in,” I said politely. “I’ll get my parents.” I muttered. But my eyes kept stealing glances at the two familiar strangers, especially the man, they seemed to be a couple. Moments later, my parents joined them. “Oh, Marian, Jalen—welcome! Please, make yourselves comfortable,” my father said, his smile wide, and unusual. It startled me to see both of my parents beam so openly. The couple were family friends. The man—Jalen—was my father’s best friend. My heart skipped as I looked at him. I remembered that charm, that presence. I had admired him since childhood, before he married Marian and stopped visiting. Yet, seeing him now, the pull toward him felt just as strong, maybe even stronger. “Fiona has grown so big,” Jalen remarked with a smile. And my heart froze. “That voice…” I thought.Jalen’s POVThe moment Marian left my office, the temperature in the room seemed to plummet. I stood frozen behind my desk, staring at the closed door as if it might swing open again at any second. My breath came shallow and tight, my legs gave out as I dropped into my chair, elbows braced on the polished wood, and dragged both hands down my face.She wasn’t bluffing.After everything I had seen during our marriage—her cruelty, the manipulation, and the way she destroyed anything that stood in her path, the scariest was what she did to Fiona before she was arrested—I knew exactly what Marian was capable of, she was a monster. And now she had set her sights on Fiona again.My pulse hammered against my ribs. I reached for my phone with unsteady fingers and called mason, he was my long time private investigator.Mason answered on the first ring.“Mason speaking.”“I need eyes on Fiona. Twenty-four hours a day.”He paused briefly before speaking again. “Something happened?”“Marian is out
Fiona’s POVFor a moment, the world narrowed to a single point.The noisy crowd of students at the school entrance and their cheers made me extremely nervous; the flashing phones and excited whispers blurred into white noise. All I could see was Jalen.He stood a few yards away, holding an absurdly large bouquet of red roses, wearing that half-smile that had once undone me completely. His eyes locked on mine with an intensity that made my knees weak.I had replayed this scene in my head a thousand times. The daydreams. The late-night silent prayers in my heart, and now that he was actually here, I didn’t know what was real anymore.Jalen started walking toward me. Each step sent my heart slamming against my ribs. When he finally stopped in front of me, close enough that I could smell the familiar notes of his cologne, my throat closed.He handed me the bouquet and Paris quickly took it from me. I couldn’t even bring myself to smell or admire it. My eyes were glued to his, my lips were
Fiona's POVThree weeks, twenty-one days, five hundred and four hours. That was how long Jalen had been gone, not that I was counting—okay, maybe I was.Every day felt emptier than the one before. No matter how hard I tried to distract myself, every thought somehow found its way back to him. I missed him, I missed him so much it hurts.One evening, after spending almost an hour staring at our old pictures, I made a decision—If Jalen weren't going to speak, then I would. I set up my camera in my bedroom, hands trembling as I adjusted the angle, my ring light illuminated my face as I sat on my bed and stared at my phone lens.For several seconds, I couldn't find the first word to say, and tears rolled down my face. All I could think of were the good memories I had with him. I sniffed, wiped my tears, and finally summoned the courage to speak. "Hi," My voice cracked and I laughed bitterly. "Wow. This is already going terribly." I whispered."I don't even know why I'm recording this but I
Boring GoodbyeJalen's POVThe moment Paris reached Fiona's bedside, she broke down completely.Tears streamed down her face as she grabbed Fiona's hand carefully, afraid of hurting her."Fiona, I'm so sorry," she sobbed. "I'm sorry for everything. I should have protected you better. I should have been there."Fiona looked exhausted, but she managed a weak smile."Paris...""No," Paris cried. "Let me finish. I've been blaming myself every single day. When I heard what happened, I thought..." Her voice cracked. "I thought I lost you."The room fell silent as Fiona squeezed her hand gently."You didn't lose me."Paris let out a shaky laugh through her tears."Thank God."Jude sluggishly emerged from Paris's back, his face looked annoyingly sober, he looked genuinely ashamed."I'm sorry too, Fiona."Fiona's expression immediately changed, Jude felt it and instantly lowered his head."I know I don't deserve forgiveness. I know I caused you a lot of pain. I was selfish. I thought I loved y
Jalen’s POVThe hospital room was quiet except for the steady beeping of machines. Fiona had been stabilized, but she was still sleeping. Harry and I sat on opposite sides of the room, the silence between us thick and heavy.I couldn’t take it anymore.“Harry,” I said quietly. “We need to talk.”He
Jalen’s POVMy hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles turned white, rage built inside me the moment I dropped the call from Marian. I could kill her with my bare hands if I lay my eyes on her. The city lights blurred past as I sped through the streets, breaking every speed limit. M
