Silica Angus, daughter of the biggest casino in Hong Kong, graduate of Business Administration in Stanford University, is now in front of the gateway airport of the Philippines.

Her reason of being in the country is to manipulate Primo into marrying her, making her family as one of the richest family all over Asia. But she knows that with Aiden's existence, she can't do any of that as well.

She inhales the cold breeze of mid-winter in the Philippines before halting a taxi and telling the driver of her destination. Her plane lands in Pampanga, which she prefers to since she wants to make sure that she is near where Primo is.

When the taxi reaches her destination, she pays the driver and takes everything that she has and uses the lift to get to her apartment in one of the richest neighborhood in Angeles City.

She flops to the bed as she stares in the ceiling and sighs.

"I need to prepare everything for tomorrow. I need to do my very best to manipulate that man or else it will be a shame towards my family."

She sighs once again before standing up from the bed and stares at her luggage as she removes everything from the bags and from the trolley.

Night comes passing by as Silica finishes her application in Clauff-Gon University. After learning that Primo is teaching in this university, she proposes for Grandmama to let her infiltrate the school and seduce Primo.

Thinking that it will just be an easy task, Grandmama gives her approval and let her use everything that she thinks useful. From love potions that are sold in the market of Quiapo to pheromones perfume, Silica bought it all.

Grandmama watches her go before she goes back to the other kids who are with her in Hong Kong and tasks them to watch her closely.

"I am confident with her plan but not with her motive."

Grandmama has the write to feel that way since she really doesn't know who Silica is. If ever she turns out to be one of the sworn enemies of their family, there is nothing they can do but kill her.

That's the only Santoro way that they can do to silence her. And it is the way that they will use just in case she goes snitching on them.

"Tomorrow is a brand new day. I need to get a good night sleep so I can be refreshing the next day."

Silica sleeps after doing her evening routine of washing her face and putting some night creams to make her skin looks flawless instead of her rough edges.

***

As the professor enters the room, Aiden and Cassie were more than shock than the others. They did not know that the man also teaches Forensic Pharmacy.

"Good morning, students. Please take your seat and we would begin shortly."

His voice is deep and raspy. His hair is curly and his body is buff. His eyes were ocean blue and he is the perfect example of Mr. Clauff-Gon and his real name is Primo Santoro.

Aiden wants to escape.

He wants to escape so badly. But his eyes went directly to Primo who is also looking back at him.

Aiden stares at the man who just kissed his hand earlier, standing in front of the class and greeting them as well. Primo's eyes travel around his student until he spots the only student his eyes would only land to.

Aiden.

The latter blushes and hide away as Cassie looks away from Primo. Primo chuckles and sets his presentation as the class starts.

"Please get your KTZ book and turn on page 369, Chapter 22. We will be studying about the Sedative-Hypnotics drugs."

His voice rings around the small room and it is making Aiden shivers. Aiden can't concentrate. His eyes always lands in Primo's soft lips and his sharp jawline.

Other than that, the man is wearing a white long sleeve and two of his buttons were unbuttoned revealing a bit of his chiseled chest. Aiden gulps as he looks away and focuses on the lecture.

"Buspirone is rapidly absorbed orally but undergoes extensive first pass metabolism via hydroxylation and dealkylation reactions to form several active metabolites."

Primo finds it endearing while looking at Aiden whose face is flushing with embarrassment.

"Remember this; tolerance is a common feature of sedative-hypnotic use."

He chuckles deep inside him as he proceeds on teaching them the subject course that the dean had given to him.

"Break time! Be back after thirty minutes so we can continue with the next part!"

Aiden and Cassie stay to the room while most of the students left the room to buy food at the cafeteria downstairs.

Cassie is looking at Primo while he eats his bread and types away on his laptop. She nudges Aiden, who is having a fight against his mind to whether have wet dreams about Primo or just drool over the man while he is giving lectures.

Cassie rolls her eyes and smack Aiden on the head, waking the latter up while she laughs her ass off.

"You damn mother-"

Then Aiden remembers that Primo is their professor, so he toned down the cursing and went back from being that blushing angel that Primo knows him about.

"Damn Mother Theresa, bless our food and our soul."

Cassie can't help but laugh out loud as she watches Aiden close his eyes and take a deep breath while calming his nerves down or he would end up murdering Cassie in front of Primo.

Cassie stops laughing while Primo hides his smile as he munches his bread away. He tries to stop himself from laughing because he doesn't want Aiden to feel embarrassed further.

He clears his throat to make his presence known to both Cassie and Aiden. It's like a little warning that they are in class and there is a professor inside of that room.

Fifteen minutes in, Aiden's classmates start to enter the room again. Some already ate lunch while some just bought some snacks and drinks at the cafeteria.

"Mr. Santoro, I bought you some bread and a soda."

Primo looks over to the student and smiles, accepting the free food from the student as he stacks the books one after the other.

"Thank you so much. You should eat yours, too."

In Primo's mind, he is happy because someone gave him free food but the student's mind; she had a chance to make Primo falls in love.

The student is beautiful with her blonde hair and dashing forced smile that made Cassie almost puked her lunch.

Her face looks horrifying and she tries so hard to please Primo that it almost looks fake.

Cassie sees this and face palmed herself.

Cassie looks at Aiden to see his reaction but her best friend is surprisingly not caring about the specific flirting from the girl.

Speaking of the Santoro house, Drax had been asking for her phone number in which she declines multiple times.

The man won't stop.

He even asked Cassie's other friend, King, to give him her number.

Lo and behold, damn King sold her to Drax Santoro. She curses at him through text a hundred of times but Alex just laughs it off.

Saying along the lines of "You need a new hobby, other than taking care of Aiden like a mother hen."

It didn't piss her off because that is true. But what pisses her off is when King gave her number to Drax, which the guy immediately saved and texted her as if they are close friends.

She threatened the guy and blocked his number from her phone.

She sighs and asked the God from the heavens above if what she did in her past life to deserve these bullshits that is happening to her in this modern life.

While Cassie is cursing the Gods above, Aiden stares at the woman who gave Primo the bread and the cola. Well, he is not just staring at her.

Aiden is glaring at her.

And Primo sees this as a sign of jealousy. He smirks as a bad idea pops up to his mind and starts flirting with the other students; asking them those questions about their life and some are about their love life.

"Does any of you guys single?"

The girls excitedly answers their professor, thinking that they had a chance on making him fall for them, without knowing that Primo is just using them as a vessel to make someone jealous.

It made Aiden jealous, yes.

But the latter hides his smirk to himself as Primo's alarm rings, indicating the start of the other half of the lecture.

"Alright, everyone in now! We will start!"

Primo stops the conversation with the girls and announces the other half of the discussion.

Some groans and some just prepares as they listened to that sweet and deep voice radiating from their hot professor.
