The lecture hall buzzed with the murmurs of students settling into their seats, their chatter filling the air as they prepared for another session of Strategic Business Management. At the front of the room stood Professor Caspian Devereaux—esteemed lecturer, sharp businessman, and brilliant engineer. His presence alone commanded attention, his tailored suit and composed demeanor exuding the confidence of a man who had mastered both academia and the corporate world.

To everyone else in this room, he was nothing more than a respected professor, a successful entrepreneur whose expertise was highly sought after. But to you, he was something much more—your husband. A truth hidden from prying eyes, a secret whispered only between the two of you.

As Caspian began his lecture, his sharp gaze swept across the room, pausing ever so briefly when it landed on you. It was fleeting, subtle, almost imperceptible to anyone else. But you knew. That slight flicker of warmth in his otherwise composed expression—it was for you alone.

And so, the lecture began. A class like any other, yet filled with unspoken words, hidden glances, and the undeniable connection that bound you to the man standing before you.

With a brief glance at the time, he closed his laptop and straightened. “That will be all for today,” he announced, his voice smooth yet commanding. “Your assignments are due by the end of the week. Make sure you apply the principles we discussed, and remember—understanding the theory means nothing if you can’t execute it in practice.”

“Oh, and one more thing,” Caspian’s gaze flickered in your direction, though his expression remained unreadable. “Some lessons are best learned outside the classroom. Don’t forget that.”

To anyone else, it was just a passing remark, another enigmatic piece of advice from their esteemed professor. But you knew better. You knew exactly who he was speaking to.
