On my professor’s Bed.
Chapter 84.
Elena settled into the lecture room. Her eyes wandered around looking for Mira. The lecturer walked in and Elena dropped her phone right into her bag. It felt so confusing and suspicious. Mira was absent from school last time, yesterday, and today again.
She settled into the lecture, but her mind was half way into it. She could barely think straight as all that clouded her head were the thoughts of her best friend. It was usual. Mira would always reach out. No matter how hard everything is for her.
The lecture was finally over after an hour and 45 minutes and Elena could not be less happy. She had waited this long for it.
She reached for her phone and placed a call to Mira. And the call went on a dead end.
“So strange,” she mumbled softly and made her way out of the hall to the car park.
“My lady.” Antonio bowed the moment Elena got to the car pack.
“Antonio I need your help.” her voice sounds so hastened.
“What it is my lady?”
Elena hesitated for a while.
“I need you to take me somewhere. I have not heard from Mira and I am so worried.
The air went still for a while and the look on Antinio’s face answered her question already.
“Please Antonio.” she took a step closer.
“Don't say no.”
“I am afraid I would have to my lady. The boss has strictly ordered that I do not take you anywhere aside from home. He would do all the outings with you and I really do not have an option.”
“I promise he is not going to find out about this. I will be so brief.”.
“Pardon my manners, My lady. I… I can't do this. I am sorry.”
Elena sighed softly. She took a step closer to the car and he helped open the door, and she stepped into the car.

“My lord.” Dan walked into the room with his hand in his pocket. He bowed softly and Dante nudged at him to take a seat. He handed over the document in his hand to Dante and Dante took it from him. He sipped from his s juice and watched Dan take a sit.
“What's this?”
“Something you would love.” Dan winked.
Dante ruffled through the brown file and brought out a DNA test result of Elena and Vera and another of Vera and Alcantara.
“Negative?” Dabte’s brows arched. He spared Dan a surprised look.
“You shouldn't be looking surprised my lord. I mean you knew it from the jump start.”
“I know. But this just feels so cruel.”
“Women are cruel. What's the next step, my lord.”
Dante arranged the files into the brown envelope and handed it over to Dan.
“Send it to Damon Alcantara, under a hidden profile. He deserves to see this.”
“I will do just that my lord.”
****************
Elena’s phone rang, preventing her from her trance. She checked the caller and it was Mira. Joy flushed through him and she picked up immediately. Not giving it a second to ring again.
“Mira.”
“Hi, Elena.” Mira’s voice sounded so low, and Elena suspected that everything wasn't right even though Mira was trying to sound okay.”
“Are you okay?” Elena asked softly and Mira heaved a sigh., trying to suck in her breath.
“I… I am doing good.”
“No Mira. You don't sound good. I need to see you. Right now.”
“No Lina. I am fine… really fine.” she gulped in the pain that washed through her and Elena shook her head, as though Mira could see her.
“I don't care what you say, Mira. You do not sound great and I do not want that for you. I want you to be good. To be extremely great. I want to see you and I won't take no for an answer.”
The phone went silent for a while then Mira finally gave in.
