It was just an experiment—until it became a dangerous game.
For four years, Dr Braithwaite was the man I could only admire from across a lecture hall. He's twice my age, the most respected academic on campus, and completely unattainable. I was convinced he would never see me as anything but a student.
Then he gave me a challenge I couldn’t refuse.
At the time, I told myself it was purely academic—a chance to learn, test theories, and disprove his claims about deviancy.
But somewhere between the rules and the research, between his lessons and my confessions, curiosity becomes obsession, and the boundaries continue to blur.
Every time I kneel before him, it’s easier to forget the mistakes I’ve buried, the secrets I still keep, and the past I want to leave behind. By the time I realise my mistake, it’s already too late.
Because the question is no longer about how far he'll push me…
It’s how quickly my past can destroy it all.
