Lahat ng Kabanata ng Tangled Desire: My Daddy, My Professor: Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

TessaA sign of relief evicted my mouth as Liam glared at me one more time before leaving.What would have happened if Leah hadn't come here? The fear of staying over, and napping at Leah's house was engraved me. How am I going to cope? I knew Liam would find every way to torment me. What do I have to do?I checked the wristwatch, considering it was getting late, but time had gone and Mum wouldn't have it easy on me. I stared at the mirror hoping to glance at myself but all I'm seeing is Leah's drunk face. She was resting on the wall, her cheeks damn red.I inhaled, thinking of how much she would've drunk. Even though I'm also halfway drunk, but not partially like Leah. I walked to her and dragged her out of the bathroom; she wanted to stay back by pulling my hand from hers, but she didn't have her way as my hand held her more tightly.I walked her to sit down on the couch, my eyes staring around if I'd caught a glimpse of Liam or Alex, but the two were nowhere to be found.I brought

TessaAfter taking a cold bath and lying down on the bed, my eyes fixed on the ceiling, torn between the desire to go home and pick up some clothes and the urge to stay here. This was the best time to go home since neither Leah nor Liam was around to question me about my whereabouts. I knew Mom would have gone to work, and Mr. Carter would have gone to school. I inhaled deeply before standing up, my eyes scanning the room.I didn't know which clothes to wear, but if Leah were around, I would have asked her for cloth. Luckily, I had bought a dress the other day. I made my way to Leah's room, which looked like a disaster zone. It seemed she had thrown every cloth on the floor while searching for what to wear earlier. I grabbed the dress I had bought yesterday, which was also on the floor, and put it on before leaving the room. I simply adjusted my hair to the back, not bothering with any elaborate styling.I walked out of the house, slamming the door shut, only to realize I didn't kno

TessaMy ears pressed against the wall, absorbing every conversation between Mum and Mr. Carter. Not a single word escaped my attention. Each of their conversations stirred a mix of emotions within me, but his last statement aroused nothing but fear.My eyes widened in surprise, and my body began shaking uncontrollably. I wondered if Mum had any idea what was happening. It was hard for her to even think about it, and the thought sent a chill down my spine.I peered through the door, my eyes fixed on Mr. Carter, whose reaction mirrored mine. However, he tried to play it cool, masking his surprise with a sly smile as he held Mum's shoulder and gently massaged it."Did you think I'm going to do that?" he asked, his voice sounding casual, almost nonchalant. But I knew better. He had already done it, hadn't he? I rolled my eyes at Mum's smile, which only seemed to annoy me further."Can you?" Mum pressed on, her tone laced with curiosity as if she had received information from someone. Tha

CarterReality hit me like a stone as I scanned the blog on the school portal. This wasn't supposed to be. I clicked on the comments, my eyes scanned each word that stood for the love my students had for me. They kept asking why Mr. Cater was leaving the school. I was glad. But who could have posted this? I was supposed to resume work on Monday, but I guess I won't be spending all of the leave they've granted me at home. I can't sit here idly while someone is trying to make the school sack me or probably just sabotage my career.I stared at the screen again, thinking of who I could call to confirm what had happened. Rebecca was the first person that came to mind. I searched through my call log, found her number, and dialed it, putting it on speaker. Soon, her voice filled the room, shocking me."Hello, Rebecca," I said, my heart racing faster, not because of anything, but because I was scared to know the situation at school."Hello, Mr. Cater. How are you doing?" she asked."That's n

TessaWe departed from each other, and Leah walked in with a bag full of stuff. I thought that was the end until Alex walked behind her, also holding some bags. His piercing gaze lingered on my face, as if reading my thoughts. I wondered why. I don't know why all the guys like staring at me as if I was some piece of meat for them to devour."Guess what, baby girl?" Leah exclaimed, her smile radiating across her face as she walked toward me. She dropped the bag in her hand and gently guided me to sit on the couch, my mouth wide open and my heart beating rapidly.As I looked up, my eyes met Alex's, and I quickly looked away, feeling an awkward tension. His intense stare seemed to bore into my soul. I don't know why. "I got you some hot dresses; I know you'll love them," Leah said, starting to open the bag and dropping different clothes on the couch.I wished to admire the clothes, but my body remained tense, unsure why. Perhaps it was the unresolved tension between Liam and me."See?"
