Chapter 25: Shattered Trust

Alex ran around all the school corridors, searching every class for Isabella while he continuously called her phone. But it kept saying unreachable, which had a legitimate reason because Isabella had switched off her phone when she entered Professor Jim's office. That was something she always did in case she had to hide. Her phone would not end up making anyone know that she was in the room with Professor James. 

Even after a good 20 minutes, Alex was still unable to find Isabella. As he became worried, he brought out his phone and dialed Tricia's number. As she picked up immediately, he could hear laughter in the background, and for a few minutes, he felt relieved thinking she was actually having fun. 

"Where is Isabella?" he questioned, as Tricia was speechless for a few minutes. 

"I... I left her in class, and I think she was supposed to come and meet you. She said you guys had a little discussion to talk about, and that was all. I didn't see her anymore," Tricia said clearly, not seeing any lie in her words. Even though she knew she had to cover up for Isabella, she did not know where Isabella went, and she was also not sure if Isabella went to see Professor James. 

"Are you sure that she's not with that professor? Are you sure there is nothing between her and the professor?" Alex was placing Tricia in a tight spot. 

"I don't know. I am just a friend. She said I just came back yesterday. How am I meant to know everything that's happening with her? Maybe you should call Rachel and Axa. Maybe Rachel will have an idea. I don't have any idea about what is going on. And besides, why are you doubting your girlfriend if she told you she did nothing with him and there's nothing between the both of them? You just have to believe her. You must not put any doubt in everything. Do you understand?" Tricia said and ended the call. 

Even though she was not angry, she just used that as a way to escape his wrath because she knew that he had already gotten angry. 

"I would do anything possible just to get back at her and make her say the truth." Alex was so frustrated. Where could she possibly go? Should he go to Professor James's office? He thought to himself. 

After bracing himself, he decided to go there. After all, he had missed Professor James's class today. Even though he had given an explanation, he still wanted to use that as a way to see him so he could find out whether or not Isabella was there. 

He stood at the door for a while, feeling a bit confused and trying to brace himself in case he got to see Isabella inside. He knocked on the door gently as he heard Professor James say, "Come in." 

He opened the door slowly and entered. The room was empty. It was just Professor James and a lot of books piled up beside him as he continuously went through all of them. He looked up at Alex with a crooked brow. Now he could recognize Alex anywhere as Isabella's boyfriend. But he had to pretend he knew that Alex was there for Isabella as his eyes kept scanning around. 

"I thought you already took permission that you wouldn't be in class for a week. You are very busy, or was it a lie and you are yet to plead in case somebody gets to tell me that it is a lie and I get to scold you?" James asked, trying to attack Alex with questions so Alex would not use that as a reason to ask for Isabella. 

"It's nothing like that. It's nothing like that. I just... I wanted to apologize again for not being able to come to class, and you know, every other thing. And also, I am in search of someone, but she's not here, so I'll be leaving already," he said to Professor James and turned around to leave. 

But James could not hold in his annoyance and anger towards Alex as he spoke. 

"Do you really expect me to believe that? You really expect me to believe that you are here in search of somebody? Who exactly are you searching for, and why would you think anybody would be in my office? You can’t just knock and barge in just because of your finding someone? You students have become... You don't know your limits anymore." 

Professor James said, but he kept talking like he was unable to control his words. He gripped the table tightly, trying his best to be professional, but it was more than obvious that something was going on under that desk. 

Alex smiled and walked towards the door. 

"It is fine. Since she's not here, I don't need to tell you her name. It is not important or significant to you, and you would only just mock me. Why would I come inside here to look for a girl? I'm sorry if I just barged into your office, and I am sorry for being too disrespectful." 

He apologized and then walked out. Just then, James breathed a sigh of relief because beneath the desk was Isabella, as she was giving him pleasure using her mouth and hand in a way that he was unable to control himself. He held her head tightly, assisting her in gagging in and out. 

He looked at her as she smiled at him. 

"I told you no one will be able to catch us," she said, then put her mouth back and continued her business. 

As Professor James was unable to hold it in now, he knew he could not escape from Isabella. Isabella was just too good at everything that he couldn't easily escape from her. If it meant him being caught, he was fine with it, but he was going to make sure he enjoyed Isabella to the very core without even leaving himself out there with Alex. 

Alex, unable to understand what he was missing out on, stood in front of the door, hearing Professor James groan as he was having the fun of his life. He couldn't help but grip his hands into a fist, hoping and praying that it wasn't Isabella. Because if it was, he did not know how he would even be able to comprehend everything and think right.

He hoped that it was just professor James sleeping around with other women and not what he thought because if it is anything like that then even professor James’s would regret it, he brought out his phone one more time and called her but yet no answer

“Please Isabella pick your call.” He hoped as he stared at the screen, here he was doing his best to keep his relationship with Isabella on check but she was still finding every possible way to shatter it, while she was sending professor James to the moon and back she was losing something so precious to her.
