Two Weeks Later
My nerves were an absolute mess and I could literally feel my hands shaking as I stepped onto the school grounds, heart pounding and legs already wobbling under me.
The breeze was cool against my skin, but it didn’t calm me. It only made the knot in my stomach twist harder.
It had been two weeks.
Two weeks since that night.
And all I could do was pray that Jaden had forgiven me. Or at least decided not to make my life a living hell because of it.
But who was I kidding? Jaden never let anything go. He was probably already planning something awful—turning people against me, making me a laughingstock. I didn’t just become his ex… I became his enemy.
And I had no clue what that meant for me now.
I’d texted him. Apologized, over and over. He never replied. Then he blocked my number. I’d tried calling. Nothing.
And then there was Leo—the stranger who’d come out of nowhere like some beautiful storm and vanished just as fast.
He disappeared after that night, leaving behind nothing but a memory that haunted me in the best and worst ways.
I gave him my virginity. It was spontaneous and crazy and unplanned, but it was also... perfect. The way he touched me, the way he looked at me, like I was something to be wanted, to be worshiped... That night made me feel alive again, even though it was only for a moment.
I didn’t regret it.
It still hurt like hell that he left with no goodbye, no phone number, no way to find him again. But I couldn’t lie—he gave me something I didn’t even know I needed. He made me feel seen. Desired. And the way he made love to me… I still replayed every second in my mind.
I made him take me to his already-booked hotel from the club.
The room was quiet, dimly lit, and smelled heavenly. The second we stepped inside, something inside us shifted. The tension between us snapped. One look. That was all it took.
And suddenly, we weren’t holding back.
We crashed into each other like we’d been starving for it. His lips found mine, desperate and rough, and I kissed him back like I needed him to breathe. His hands roamed my body like he already knew every curve. When he kissed down my neck and a bit gently on my earlobe, I literally shivered.
Our clothes were roughly removed fast and flung to God knows where. I didn’t even care.
He kissed my breasts, sucked gently on one n****e while massaging the other, and I was already squirming. He laid me down gently, like I was something fragile, and slid my panties off like he was unwrapping a gift. His eyes were darkened with desire and hunger. Wild and intense.
I opened my legs wide for him without hesitation.
As he kissed his way up my naked body again, he breathed. “Irresistible.”
I couldn’t even speak. My body was too busy falling apart under his touch.
Then he started rubbing my clit, slow at first, then faster. My head rolled back, and my moans turned into cries.
I’d never felt anything like it.
Then he pulled back, and I saw it—his c**k. Thick, hard, massive. I widened my legs more and bit my lip. I wanted him so badly. All of him.
He rubbed himself at my entrance and I flinched when he attempted. He paused.
“You’re a...” His voice trailed off, eyes meeting mine.
I nodded. “Yeah. But please… don’t stop.”
“It’ll hurt a little,” he warned softly.
“I don’t care,” I whispered, desperate.
He cupped my cheek. “Close your eyes.”
I did.
And in one slow, careful thrust, he pushed inside.
I gripped him tight as pain washed though. He kissed me gently, staying still to let me adjust, wiping my tears with his fingers and whispering soft things I could barely hear.
When he started moving again, slowly till the pain faded. Replaced with something better. Something electric.
He cleaned the blood, kissed me all over, and then we lost ourselves in each other.
It wasn’t just s*x. It was something deeper.
He made love to me like he meant it and I moaned from the pleasure until I couldn’t breathe. My legs were shaking, my whole body tingling. My o****m hit like a tidal wave and his came right after, deep groans as he finished inside me, kissing me through the crash.
“I love you,” he whispered into my neck, breath hot against my skin.
And I believed him.
“I love you too,” I whispered back, my fingers tracing little circles on his chest.
“Where do you live?” I asked quietly, sleep tugging at my eyes. “Can I know more about you?”
No answer.
I glanced up.
He was already asleep.
I smiled and curled into him, whispering to myself, “Tomorrow. We’ll talk tomorrow.”
But when I woke up the next morning… he was gone.
The bed was cold.
No note. No goodbye.
Just a stack of money on the nightstand.
Like I’d been paid for the night.
The moment I saw that, my stomach dropped, and my chest hollowed out. I didn’t even touch the money. I left it there and walked out, holding back tears until I got home.
I didn’t tell anyone. Not my parents. Not a soul.
My parents came back the next day from their trip, and I said nothing about Jaden. Or Leo. I just kept going back to that same bar every night after, hoping Leo would show up again.
He never did.
He was gone.
Like he never existed.
---
And now, here I was, back at school—and for the first time ever, I felt like I shouldn't be in this school. As the only pack hunter's daughter, nobody will save me from him. Maybe that scholarship from the Alpha wasn't actually the blessing it was painted to be.
Fear clawed at my stomach, my heart thudding louder with every step.
Jaden was somewhere inside these halls. And I didn’t know what kind of storm he was about to rain down on me.
But something told me… it wouldn’t be pretty.
As soon as I entered the classroom, the first person I saw was him—Jaden, and his loathing eyes peered at me.
I walked past the teacher and headed to my seat, which was beside him. It was assigned that way since we were together, and now it has become a cruel twist of fate for me.
My heart was racing, and I felt like everyone could hear the sound of my heartbeat.
“Diane,” he drawled, “You look prettier today.”
He praised, but I could feel the sarcasm in his tone. “Why that face? Aren't you happy to see me?” He rubbed his palms gleefully, and I could see the malicious smug plastered on his face.
I ignored him.
“You shouldn’t have embarrassed me, Diane. Those sexy pictures you sent me months ago. They will not be private anymore.” He threatened, and my heart sank as my mind flashed back to all the stupid stuff I had done and sent to him.
My gaze snapped at him. “Why did you save all that?” I tried to sound defiant but tears formed in my eyes as I looked at him hopelessly, seeing how cold his eyes were. There was no trace of mercy or pity.
“Silent!” The voice of the proprietor broke in at that moment, causing everyone to become dead silent. I stood up and sat down.
He was the only one respected by the students.
“You guys are too noisy!” He reprimanded, then readjusted his eyeglasses. “Anyways, I am here to introduce your new math teacher because the former one has been sacked for incompetence!”
They all cheered, but I was not concerned about whatever he was saying. I bent my head on the desk, trying to keep my tears at bay.
Who cares about a new math teacher when their life is about to tear apart? I couldn't imagine the shame I would bring to my parents if Jaden does this.
“Here is your new teacher.. A male one this time.” I heard the proprietor say, and there was chattering noise, especially from the female students, as if there was something significant and special about the so-called new male teacher.
I had to look up in confusion and curiosity to understand what the noise was about, and then I saw him.
Leo.
The same man I had met in the club that night.
