Olivia Roberts is a passionate and dedicated literature teacher at Greenhills Academy, a prestigious school with strict policies. She's always played by the rules-until she finds herself drawn to the one person she shouldn't be: Norman Graves, the school's charismatic and enigmatic head administrator. As the walls of professionalism crumble between them, Olivia and Norman struggle to balance their undeniable chemistry with the academy's rigid no-relationships policy. Whispers start to spread through the halls, forcing them to face a choice-risk their careers for love, or bury their feelings forever. Torn between duty and desire, Olivia must decide: Will she follow her heart and defy the rules? Or will she sacrifice love to protect the life she's worked so hard to build? Passion collides with professionalism in a forbidden romance where the stakes are higher than ever. Can love survive when everything is on the line?
The late afternoon sun filtered through the large windows of Greenhills Academy, casting long shadows across the hallway. The school had emptied out for the day, leaving behind a peaceful silence. Olivia Roberts walked slowly down the hallway, the sound of her heels echoing against the polished floor. In her hand, she clutched a stack of papers, but her mind was far from lesson plans and grading.
Her thoughts were on him.
At the end of the corridor, the door to the administration office stood slightly ajar. Inside, she could see the faint glow of a desk lamp and the familiar figure of Norman Graves, the school's head administrator. His posture was straight, composed, his eyes focused on some paperwork, unaware of her presence.
Olivia's heart raced. She had always admired him-the way he carried himself with quiet confidence, the way he managed the academy with firm, yet thoughtful authority. But lately, her feelings had deepened into something more, something that wasn't allowed.
"Miss Roberts?"
The voice startled her, pulling her back to reality. She turned to see one of her fellow teachers, Claire, approaching her from the opposite direction.
"Hey, Claire," Olivia replied, forcing a smile. "Still here?"
"Just finished up some extra tutoring for the science club," Claire said with a grin, glancing toward the administration office. "Late night for Mr. Graves again, I see?"
Olivia stiffened. "I suppose so. He's always busy."
Claire gave her a knowing look, the kind that made Olivia's pulse quicken. "You two seem to have a lot of meetings lately. Anything going on?"
Olivia's smile faltered. "Just work, Claire. You know how demanding the board can be."
Claire raised an eyebrow but didn't press further. "Of course. Just be careful, Olivia. You know the rules around here." She lowered her voice slightly, her eyes flicking toward Norman's office. "Not that I'm one to gossip, but people notice things."
Olivia swallowed, nodding stiffly. "Thanks, Claire. I'll keep that in mind."
As Claire walked away, Olivia let out a slow breath, her thoughts returning to Norman. She knew the rules well. Relationships between staff members were strictly forbidden-especially between teachers and administrators. But rules didn't stop feelings.
Suddenly, Norman looked up from his desk. Their eyes met, and for a brief moment, the world around them seemed to fade. His gaze softened, and a small, almost imperceptible smile touched his lips. Olivia's heart fluttered, and she quickly turned away, her face warm with embarrassment.
As she walked away, she heard the faint sound of a door opening behind her.
"Olivia."
She stopped. His voice was deep, calm, and steady-like everything about him. She turned slowly to face him, standing just outside his office now, the hallway between them feeling longer than ever.
"Yes, Mr. Graves?" she asked, trying to keep her voice professional.
"Are you... alright?" he asked, his brow furrowed with concern. "You seemed a little distant in the staff meeting earlier."
Olivia hesitated, her thoughts spinning. He wasn't just her superior. He was a man she couldn't stop thinking about. But she forced a smile, masking the turmoil inside.
"I'm fine. Just... a long day."
Norman nodded, but his eyes lingered on her, searching for something deeper. "If you ever need to talk... you know where to find me."
Olivia's heart skipped a beat. His words were simple, professional, but there was something in his tone that suggested more. She nodded quickly and turned to leave before she could say something she would regret.
As she walked down the hallway, the distance between them growing, she couldn't shake the feeling that they were standing on the edge of something dangerous. Something they could never let anyone else see.
But for now, it was just an unspoken secret. Echoes in the hallway.
Rena got into an entanglement with a big shot when she was drunk one night. She needed Waylen's help while he was drawn to her youthful beauty. As such, what was supposed to be a one-night stand progressed into something serious. All was well until Rena discovered that Waylen's heart belonged to another woman. When his first love returned, he stopped coming home, leaving Rena all alone for many nights. She put up with it until she received a check and farewell note one day. Contrary to how Waylen expected her to react, Rena had a smile on her face as she bid him farewell. "It was fun while it lasted, Waylen. May our paths never cross. Have a nice life." But as fate would have it, their paths crossed again. This time, Rena had another man by her side. Waylen's eyes burned with jealousy. He spat, "How the hell did you move on? I thought you loved only me!" "Keyword, loved!" Rena flipped her hair back and retorted, "There are plenty of fish in the sea, Waylen. Besides, you were the one who asked for a breakup. Now, if you want to date me, you have to wait in line." The next day, Rena received a credit alert of billions and a diamond ring. Waylen appeared again, got down on one knee, and uttered, "May I cut in line, Rena? I still want you."
Charlee was left at the altar and became a laughingstock. She tried to keep her head high, but ultimately lost it when she received a sex tape of her fiance and her half-sister. Devastated, she ended up spending a wild night with a hot stranger. It was supposed to be one-time thing, but he kept popping up, helping her with projects and revenge, all while flirting with her constantly. Charlee soon realized that it was nice having him around, until her ex suddenly appeared at her door, begging for another chance. Her tycoon lover asked, “Who will you choose? Think carefully before you answer.”
"I'm going to tell you what I have in mind," he murmured. "First you're going to strip down until you're completely naked," he whispered against her ear. "Then I'm going to tie you up so you're completely powerless and subject to my every whim." "Mmm, sounds good so far," she murmured. "Then I'm going to insert a plug to prepare you for me. After that I'm going to spank that sweet ass of yours until it's rosy with my marks." She shivered uncontrollably, her mind exploding with the images he evoked. She let out a small whimper as he sucked the lobe of her ear into his mouth. God, she could cum with just his words. She was already aching with need. Her nipples tingled and hardened to painful points. Her clit pulsed and twitched between her legs until she clamped her thighs together to alleviate the burn. "And then I'm going to f**k your mouth. But I won't cum. Not yet. When I'm close, I'll flog you again until your ass is burning and you're on fire with the need for relief. And then I'm going to f**k that ass. I'm going to take you hard and rough, to the very limits of what you can withstand. I won't be gentle. Not tonight. I'm going to take you as roughly as you can stand. And then I'm going to cum all over your ass. Are you ready to be completely and utterly dominated?"
Elodie took a deep breath and knocked, the sound echoing in the quiet corridor. A moment of silence passed, broken only by the pounding of her heart. Finally, the door snicked open, revealing a surprised Dashiell. 'Can't you see the Do Not Disturb sign? We don't want-' His initial frown quickly morphed into confusion at the sight of his wife. 'What are you doing here?' he demanded. 'Your girlfriend invited me,' Elodie replied, her voice laced with icy calm. She tried to peer past him, but his broad frame blocked the view. A saccharine voice chimed in from within the room. 'Elodie? Oh dear, we didn't mean for you to find out this way. It's just that-' Elodie cut her short. 'Oh please, Selene. Spare me the fake apologies. You wouldn't have sent me all those texts if you didn't want me to know.' Dashiell shifted uncomfortably, his face a mask of annoyance. 'What texts?' Elodie stepped past him, taking in the luxurious suite with a sardonic smile. The king-sized bed, the scattered rose petals, the lingering scent of sex – it all painted a vivid picture of their betrayal. She looked up at Dashiell, her gaze unwavering. 'I want a divorce.' ****** Dashiell lived a life of luxury, surrounded by the best things money could buy. But when a car accident left him vulnerable, he met Elodie, a seemingly ordinary woman who nursed him back to health. Mistaking her for just another employee, Dashiell entered into a loveless marriage with her solely for convenience. However, fate had a different script in store. Elodie, the 'ordinary nurse,' held a secret more precious than any diamond: she was the sole heiress to Northstar, a vast and powerful enterprise. Unaware of her true identity, Dashiell cast her aside when his ex-girlfriend returned, leaving Elodie humiliated. But Elodie was not one to be easily broken. She shed the facade of the meek nurse, reclaiming her rightful inheritance and stepping into the role of Northstar's CEO. Now, the woman Dashiell discarded was the one holding the reins of power. As Elodie thrives in her new role, Dashiell is consumed by regret. He finally sees Elodie for the extraordinary woman she truly is, realising the depth of his mistake. But will his remorse be enough to win back the heart he so carelessly discarded?
