Bound To Love You Domineering CEO

Mr. Ford stood up so that he was standing over Crystal. “Crystal,” he said, “our school does not object to students falling in love, but we try to encourage our teachers not to enter into sexual relationships with students, and if they must, then they should at least wait until the students are of legal age. Surely, you must understand that if this got out, it would tarnish the reputation of the school.”

Ms. Ford whined, “Dad… Mr. Ford, I mean… Her behavior has already been a bad influence on other students. Furthermore, although she keeps saying that she and Professor Davis are in love with each other, it is clear that she is the one who seduced Professor Davis, and not the other way around! Young girls have ways of mesmerizing men, as I am sure even you know, so how could he resist the provocation of this naughty vixen?!?!? I think that since this kind of thing has never happened in our school with a girl so young, it is necessary to make an example of her.”NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Mr. Ford nodded approvingly and asked, “What do you think is an effective way to control something like this? Should we circulate a notice of criticism?”

Off with her head! – Crystal thought wildly, and she was barely able to contain her laughter.

“That’s too serious,” Ms. Ford replied. “I think it would be better to expel her.”

Mr. Ford looked at Crystal thoughtfully and said, “These are some heavy charges that have been made against you. But I know that you have been through a lot lately, what with your Mother’s death and your Father’s remarriage, so I don’t want to be too quick to give up on you, particularly because of your previous exemplary record. Do you have anything to say on your behalf before I pass judgment?”

Crystal looked first at Ms. Ford and then at Mr. Ford. “This is hard to talk about,” she admitted, “but my relationship with Professor Davis is not one that is comparable to that of the love that is sometimes made between a man and a woman, but -”

“Ugh, I knew you’d say that,” Tiffany interrupted cruelly. She rose and grabbed her laptop, plugged in her hard drive, and an image of her and Nathan appeared on the computer screen. He had her pressed up against the wall with her arm twisted behind her back, and his free hand was down the front of her pants. “What excuse do you have now, Miss Crystal? Isn’t this evidence of a relationship between a man and a woman or a man and a little GIRL, as is the case?”

Mr. Ford looked away in disgust and said, “Geez! You really are shameless. You will disgrace our school. I have made up my mind: for seducing a teacher, you are being expelled. You can empty your locker!”

Having nothing to say, Crystal stood up and left the office. On the way out, Ms. Ford yelled at her to” STOP!” but Crystal paid her no mind.

After all, now that she was no longer a student here, the staff no longer had any hold over her.

What a bad day – she thought to herself – my boyfriend cheated on me. My guardian sexually assaulted me. And now I’ve been expelled from school. Damn it! What is the point of even living…?

Crystal found Serenity in the cafeteria, and she ordered a large lunch for herself. Why despair when you can eat?!?!?! When Serenity saw how much food she’d purchased, she nearly choked. “Did Mr. Ford offer you a double scholarship?” she asked.

“No,” Crystal replied flatly, “he expelled me.

This isn’t a celebratory meal! It is a consolatory meal! Can’t you tell the difference?!?!!?

Serenity frowned, and tears welled up in her eyes, and Crystal felt bad for speaking to her friend in such a harsh manner. “I’m sorry,” she said. “I’m upset, but it wasn’t fair to take it out on you.”

“It’s okay,” Serenity replied. “I forgive you. We all have bad days, and yours sounds particularly bad. Why did the school expel you, though?”

“Because of Nathan,” Crystal replied.

Serenity: “So, your affair with Professor Davis was exposed?”

Crystal: “It isn’t an affair. I may have been a bit of a cock-tease, but he sexually assaulted me, and they’ve turned me into the villain!”

Serenity: “Why don’t you ask Professor Davis to explain it to them? Maybe they’ll let you stay in school.”

Crystal: “The evidence is conclusive. How could he explain it away? Let’s end this talk, shall we? I want to eat my lunch. When I’m full, then I will have the strength to think about what to do next.”

As they were eating, Crystal’s big brother, Evan Henry, came and sat with them. Crystal looked at him uncomfortably and asked him what he was doing.

“Surprised to see me?” he asked. He was wearing a light blue shirt and black pants.

“Shouldn’t I be?” Crystal replied.

“Not really,” Evan replied. “Who did you think Dad would send after he discovered that you were expelled? He cares about you. You know that, don’t you?”

“Cut the crap,” Crystal replied coldly.

“He does!” Evan insisted. “And he plans to contribute five million dollars to this institution to keep you enrolled, and I finally persuaded Mr. Ford to reduce your sentence from expulsion to probation.”

“How about if I accept the dismissal, and he can transfer the money to my account,” Crystal replied snarkily. “How does that sound? And why would a man that didn’t want to raise his own daughter set aside five million dollars to keep her in school? Can you answer that question for me?”

Serenity listened quietly, not daring to interrupt. She had heard Crystal’s story about their family and felt sorry for her.

Evan frowned and said, “Crystal, you can come to me if you need money. Don’t be angry at Dad. He has his reasons for abandoning you, and they are reasonable. Can you believe me?” Crystal rolled her eyes and said, “Of course… NOT.

Evan nodded as if he hadn’t expected any other answer from her, which he likely hadn’t… “Dad hasn’t been feeling well lately,” he said. “Go and see him whenever you can.”

Crystal was about to excuse herself by saying she wasn’t available, but Evan saw through her. He said, “Dad asked that you come and see him tomorrow. Your Mother left something at his place for you to have.”

Then, without saying goodbye, Evan rose and left.

“Is he your half-brother?” Serenity wondered.

“No,” Crystal replied. “He was adopted.”
