It appeared that Mr. Jefri did not pay much heed to the anxiety I had just voiced. Instead, he tightened his iron grip around my waist even further, accelerating the rhythm of our intimacy as it mounted toward a frantic crescendo.

"I will take full responsibility," he murmured in a rushed, raspy tone, as though he himself were already teetering on the very edge of his own defenses.

Upon hearing the vow that escaped his lips, the fear that had briefly

  • My Ruthless Professor    CHAPTER 169: A PARTING FULL OF LOVE

    "I hate you, Dita!" I screamed while stuffing the pillow into her face.The living room instantly erupted in warm, happy laughter from everyone, including me. I was so incredibly happy to know this truth. Now, I could finally breathe a sigh of relief; there was no more doubt about Jefri. I knew he loved me deeply, and I loved him just as much.After we joked around for a while, Papa cleared his throat softly to get our attention. "Alright, alright..." Papa’s voice turned serious again, making me go silent and sit calmly.Papa suddenly pulled out a black folder with a thick, luxurious cover. "Erika... this is the dowry from Jefri for you."I looked at Jefri with wide eyes. He only smiled thinly with a gaze that was deep and full of love.Slowly, I reached for the folder from the table and opened it. My heart beat fast as I read line by line. "Gourmet Indonesia shares?"I was shocked in disbelief. A 45% stake with a fantastic value reaching 500 billion rupiah had been transferred to my

    Jefri glanced at Papa with wide eyes, as if wanting to confirm my words."Erika is right, Jefri. Never utter a single word about parting," Papa supported firmly.I looked at Papa and Mama with a serious face, trying to digest this puzzle. "So... Papa has actually known Jefri for a long time? Not just since the company acquisition process?"Papa and Mama looked at each other with wide smiles before finally answering, "We have known Jefri since the business party two years ago. Right when he started targeting you," Papa said in a gentle tone.I spontaneously turned to Jefri with perfectly round eyes. "So... you intentionally approached my parents first?" I asked in disbelief."Hm." Jefri nodded firmly with a beaming smile that was hard to hide. "At that time, you were so indifferent to me. So, I thought the only way was to approach Darman so I could get the blessing to have you.""Ugh... that's cheating!" I teased, nudging his arm affectionately."That's why Papa asked him to become you

    "Why did you decide this unilaterally, Papa?!" I protested in a high pitch. "Marriage is a huge decision that should be discussed, Papa. This is about Erika's future!"Papa’s brow furrowed. He let out a heavy sigh while leaning back against the sofa, appearing pressured by my reaction."Erika... why don't you listen to Papa's explanation first?" Mama chimed in, her tone rising in irritation.I was ignited by emotion hearing Mama's defense. Disappointment welled up in my chest. All this time, I had tried to follow all their wishes.I struggled to revive a company that was nearly ruined and forced myself to be a career woman, even though that wasn't my dream. But what was the reward? They still wanted to force me to marry someone I didn't love."Why do you always force your own will?!" I yelled, my eyes welling up. My chest heaved as I held back sobs that were about to break out."Erika doesn't want to marry that person, Mama... Papa..." I refused, looking at them in turn. I crossed my

  • My Ruthless Professor    CHAPTER 166: ONE LAST EMBRACE

    I smiled broadly hearing Jefri’s intoxicating whispers. He squeezed my fingers, pinning both my hands to the mattress gently yet possessively. With passion, Jefri returned to kissing my neck and slowly moved down over my entire body.We spent the whole night expressing our longing, as if trying to bank enough embraces before we were separated by distance. Finally, we reached the peak of satisfaction together, again and again.With my breath still coming in gasps, Jefri pulled me to rest on his chest. Every now and then, he gave a warm kiss to the top of my head while gazing at the star-studded night sky from behind the bedroom window."While you're in London, will you forget about me?" I whispered, playing with my fingers on his broad chest.Jefri stroked my shoulder gently; he let out a long breath before finally answering. "We will keep in touch. How could I ever forget you?" he answered, sounding very convincing."I’m afraid you'll get busy and won't have time to update me..."He l

    I stared at Jefri with a pout. "If I go... what about the two clients who are my responsibility?" I whispered softly while looking down.Jefri held me close, letting my head rest comfortably on his shoulder. "Sweetheart... I will only be in London for a short while. Once the problems there are resolved, I promise I will return immediately to take care of our wedding."I spontaneously lifted my face, looking at him with sparkling eyes. "Really?" I asked for confirmation."Yes, sweetheart..." he replied, pinching my cheek affectionately. "You can ask Niken for help if you have any trouble. We can also keep video calling, sleep calling, or... phone sex?" he said, then laughed mischievously.I swatted his shoulder lightly, my face heating up instantly. "Ugh, what are you saying!"I turned away to hide the blush on my cheeks. It was still hard to believe that such bold words could come from the lips of a man as dignified as him."Hey... why are you shy? Isn't that something we have to try

  • My Ruthless Professor    CHAPTER 163: A PUBLIC DECLARATION

    Raka laughed shortly, a sound that was almost dismissive. He raised his wine glass high, pointing it directly at Jefri as a gesture of provocation."Congratulations to you," he said coldly, then downed the wine in one gulp while still staring at Jefri with a cynical gaze.Jefri gave a low snort. Instead of responding to that remark, he pulled his chair closer and sat down in a position that wedged me between Raka and Mia. The atmosphere at the table instantly became incredibly rigid."One more thing," Jefri said in a loud voice, stopping the other employees from eating. "A large bonus for all of you will be processed soon. Just think of it as my final token of gratitude."The VVIP room instantly erupted. The employees looked at one another with glowing faces full of gratitude. "Thank you so much, sir!" they exclaimed in unison.They raised their glasses together with sparkling eyes. "Congratulations to Jefri and Erika. May everything go smoothly until your wedding day!" said one of th

    I kept my head bowed, my lips sealed as if frozen, unable to find the words to respond to him. Tears escaped my eyes despite every desperate effort to hold them back. Fortunately, the area wasn't crowded, so my humiliation felt somewhat contained.I was swallowed by guilt. I realized then that Papa

    My body froze as Dita stopped in front of a stunning building with glass doors. A small voice inside me whispered, 'A salon? In all my life, I’ve never set foot in a place like this.'Dita kept beaming, peering inside before turning back to me. "Why are you just standing there like a statue? Get in

    "Dita!" I shrieked. "Have you lost your mind?" My eyes bulged as I shoved the plate of croissants toward her. "You were just jealous because I had a dream like that about Mr. Jefri. Now, why on earth are you suggesting I actually do it for real?"Dita scratched her head, looking just as frustrated

    The call was abruptly cut off from his end. I stood there, reeling from the weight of his final ultimatum."What? Married off? Mr. Darman certainly knows how to keep things surprising!"That was my father’s name, Darman Dwi Atmaja. A titan in the culinary industry, and I was his sole heir. Yet, I h
