To my relief, he wasn't the one to hold the lecture. But to my greatest shock, he would be joining us for today for some assessment bulshit.
As if that wasn't enough, he chose to sit next to me, chasing away the girl who had been flaming a while ago.
"Are you going to act like I don't exist?" Ilay asked just after the lecture started.
I continued ignoring him and focused my fake attention on the professor. The more he tried to distract me, the more I overlooked his presence and gave him the cold shoulder.
It was going pretty well until... Ilay's hand shot in my hair and grabbed the back of my head before pulling my face towards himself and instantly crashing his lips on mine.
I gasped, taken aback by his sudden kiss, but inadvertently opened up to him.
An outburst of murmurs rose in the air, overshadowing the professor who was still speaking. And yet, he didn't dare order us to stop but instead, demanded silence from the rest.
"SILENCE!"
My protests were muffled by Ilay's mouth while my body was held in place by his other hand. He went on and on, kissing me as if the world was about to explode the next minute.
I could feel his desire through the taste of his tongue just like I could feel his mischief through his hands.
I didn't dare kiss back, just had my eyes remain shut until he was done with me.
"Now they all know. How are you going to escape me?" He whispered, his breathing breaking into small huffs which matched mine.
"Don't push me. You know I'd do anything to-"
He rendered me speechless when he kissed me again, stirring more gasps and murmurs from the other students.
Fuck!
Now I understood why he had chosen to join the ongoing class. It was all to embarrass and draw full attention to my arrival.
Almost as if he wanted others to attack me because of my unknown relationship with him.
I was certain everyone was wondering what the hell was going on between us and why we were kissing in class without being questioned.
Ilay broke the kiss and smirked withdrawing fully, leaving me glaring and panting. "Focus love," he whispered rising. "I'll see you around." With this, Ilay happily walked out of the room escorted by the pairs of eyes from every single person.
When the door shut behind him, the curious eyes were shifted on me, bluntly questioning me while others showed their disapproval.
'I'll get back at you, you psycho,' I swore and lowered my gaze to my notebook.
As the minutes ticked by, I built a wall around me to filter out the noise from the others and only allowed the professor's voice in. I only realized the class was over when he asked me to stay behind.
One after the other, the students left the room. But not without casting me a loathful glare that informed me I was unwelcomed amongst them.
I sighed mentally, bothering not about their likes and dislikes. I was here because I wanted to be.
Once the class had cleared, the professor walked up to me, making me a little tense. Would he ask for sexual favors so I'd remain here? Or did he wish to threaten me to go back to my country like Ilay's family?
I began rising out of courtesy but froze midway when he dropped to one knee, placing his palm over his heart. "I apologize for my students' behavior today. I promise that I'll have them disciplined."
"Hm?! What, what is this about?"
He lifted his firm determined eyes to meet mine. "If there's any punishment, I'll gladly take it on their behalf."
I was honestly just confused. This was not what I signed up for when I accepted the deal. Why was he even kneeling?
"Why would they be punished? And could you please get up!"
He shook his head. "I'll atone for their sins until they're forgiven. The way of Drakon."
I slapped my face sighing aloud. Was this because of Ilay? Did he think that I'd report those brats to Ilay and have their fingers cut off or dumped in the middle of the ocean? Well, that sounded like something Ilay would do without thinking twice.
"Fine. He won't know of it. May I now leave?"
A sunny Ile beamed on his lips as he jumped to his feet. "Yes! Yes! Thank you so much Cza-"
"Kally. Just Kally." I faked a smile, wishing to get rid of him as quickly as possible.
"Su-sure. I'll keep in mind your kindness. And if any of them displeases you, I'll have them transferred to other classes so that you'll study as comfortably as he expects."
I gave a short dismissal nod, hinting at him to just leave me the fuck alone.
With one last smile-chuckle, the professor bowed and scurried off, grabbing his iPad on his way out of the room.
The door shut with a faint thud, letting the heavy silence descend and reign in it. It had to be soundproof for the weight of the stillness all around me made my chest and ears feel pressurized.
But at least nobody was murmuring or making any other noise.
It was just me and my...phone.
**********************************
The office looked big enough to only be used by the school's Deen. And yet, Ilay was now occupying it like it was just another room in the mansion.
The glass walls ensured there was plenty of light flowing into the room while the thermostat made sure that it was warm enough for inhabitation.
Here, I had shed my jacket and scarf to enjoy the warmth.
"What?!" I shot at him while sprawled on the large white couch.
He had been staring at me for over three minutes without saying anything to me. Just sat behind that shiny muddy brown desk with his head lying lazily on the headrest while swinging the chair from side to side.
"How would your family react when they know that we're now married?"
My gaze drooped. "They ceased to become my family when they abandoned me. I only need answers from Aya. So don't kill her."
He leaned forward, his eyes lighting up with an emotion I couldn't grasp at the moment. "Does that mean I can kill her after you've gotten your answers?"
I rolled my eyes. This devil of a man was good at twisting my words and making them sound darkly evil.
Even though I didn't know his history with Aya too deeply, I didn't want to get in between them or create any serious relationship with Ilay. Not like he'd want that with a girl who was a decade younger than himself.
There was this visible fact of him being way out of my league.
I wasn't too greedy to desire everything he was offering including himself, so I settled on getting the money and my freedom(if I'd ever be truly free from Ilay).
"I feel like I'm being undressed right now. Do you wish to see me naked, hm?"
"What?! No! What is your perverted mind whispering now?"
He laughed peeling his eyes off of me, giving me a moment to breathe normally. But then his order came as soon as the laugh died out, "Come here!"
How did he do that? Shifting from one expression to the other in half a heartbeat.
"Don't look at me like that honey. Is there anything that can scare you at this point? You're the first girl whom I truly admire her will to make it through anything."
I sat up saying, " You don't need to offer me your shitty compliment. You just admire how deep I take in your dick in my mouth."
Ilay chuckled caught. "Aren't you a smart one? I hope I don't get bored too soon."
I halted next to his seat and he swung it to the side to face me.
Pointing down at his crotch, Ilay's grin broadened. He needed not to say anything else. I knew my role as his 'wife' and that was to be his cum dumpster and shield.
