The Professor's Secrets

Yale University was one of the few prestigious universities in the United States. Many of the brightest minds walk its halls. However, not everyone accepted got into such a university with merit alone; corruption was involved. Wealthy families paid administration or used their family name for their children to be admitted to the university. It was a secret that was to be hidden within the walls.

The university’s reputation would go into the mud if the secret were ever exposed. There was one man, a professor, who knew the secrets. The Professor was in his mid-thirties and was considered the most handsome man in the entirety of the university. The man stood six feet tall with a well-built body and a slightly circular face. He had a well-shaven dark beard and raven-slicked-back hair. His eyes were blue, which was emotionless and calculating. His name was Elliot Landon, and he enjoyed wearing the best clothes and jewelry life could offer.

Elliot was a Professor who taught law at Yale University; he used to be a lawyer and truly loved his former job. One of the main reasons he enjoyed the profession was the love of breaking his enemies. The Professor enjoyed watching their defeated looks; his clients weren’t safe from him. He would charge them double for his work, knowing they couldn’t afford it. Elliot loved the thrill of seeing their happiness and hopes of winning the case dwindle when given the bill. Many of his clients would beg for leniency; it was a different story for the women.

The former lawyer would ask for sexual favors from them if they wanted their bills to be lowered. When the women agreed, he would record them or use any leverage on them for blackmail if they ever opened their mouths. He would hire corrupt hackers to change the female clients’ videos or pictures. They were threatened with exposure in the media, and he would sue them for indecency; he never kept his promise of lowering their bill. Many of his former female clients were mentally, emotionally, and physically destroyed.

After working in the law for ten years, he applied to become a Professor to fulfill his appetite for destruction. He wanted to destroy the hopes and dreams of many students, whether rich or poor. Before applying for the position, he researched those who were to interview him and any of the higher-ups who would dare reject him having the position. Elliot found their deepest secrets and kept them with him.

He was given the position due to his experience, which was without difficulty and suited him fine. It has been two years since he worked at the university. During that time, many students complained about his teaching methods and treatment of the students. It was brought to the board’s attention, and they met with him. Elliot was threatened with being fired in the meeting, but he got evidence of their corruption. He informed them they had people who had all the information about the university’s unfair practices when choosing students. The board members were also told that he had information about their private lives that could end them.

The board members threatened to become silent and let Elliot keep his job. Because of the meeting alone, the board members and Professors feared him. Elliot was the truth power of the university, and he enjoyed every second of it.

With his cruelty, many students quit their dreams to become lawyers or chose another major; some committed suicide due to the stress or their failures. Elliot was always prepared when some of the families went to him and threatened to sue him. He always did his research on his students and their families. Like the board members, he threatened to expose some of their wrongdoings to the media or other loved ones; it kept them silent. It was nothing but entertainment for him. Elliot knew he was a narcissistic psychopath; he felt no empathy toward others. He believed that he was the embodiment of perfection.

Since that was what Elliot believed, that meant he deserved the best, and he would refuse to have anything less.
