My Billionaire Husband

"Pay me ten million dollars, or cure me. It's up to you." Brian said kindly as if he were offering Diana a solution to everything.

"You are shameless! You tricked me! You have been thinking about this from the beginning, haven't you?" Though Diana was not as smart as Brian, she had now worked out that this had been his plan all along.

Knowing she was not a real traditional Chinese physician, how could it be possible that such a billionaire would trust her and ask for her treatment? He had planned to trick her!

"You signed the agreement voluntarily," Brian sneered at her, "Think about it. I am not a patient."

"I will not give in to you!" Diana said, pretending to be brave. And then she ran away.

Though she was acting tough, she worried about what was going to happen to her. Ten million dollars… how could she ever earn that much money? Thinking about the possibility of such an enormous debt, Diana was desperate.

Lying on her bed in the dormitory, Diana held her phone and scanned through her contacts. She decided to call her parents for help.

"Diana, What's wrong?" Diana heard her mother's joyful voice in a noisy place and the sound of waves and wind over the phone.

"Mum, I am..." Diana had just opened her mouth when she heard her father's shouts over the phone.

"Honey! Come take a photo for me!"

"Coming!" Mrs. Anderson answered and talked rapidly to Diana, "We're at the beach. I'll call you later. Bye, sweetie!"

Diana knew that her parents would ignore her when they were traveling. Feeling hurt, Diana decided to call her brother, Daniel.

But Daniel coldly replied: "Ten million dollars? Stop daydreaming! Diana, you'd better work hard for your final exams; otherwise, you will not be allowed to graduate."

What cold-hearted people!

Diana ran out of her dormitory, slamming the door as she went. She was nervous and frightened about the agreement and Brian's threats.

Unfortunately, final exams were also just around the corner.

Clearly, in a dark place, Diana sat in her dormitory in a trance. Her roommates got used to her behavior during those days and guessed that she had broken up with her boyfriend. So, they treated her, especially kindly and avoided topics that might upset her.

"Diana, Professor Morgan asked you to go to his office," Antonette came in and said.

"OK!" Diana immediately stood up and walked out.

Professor Morgan was Diana's supervisor. He was over sixty and a kind gentleman. Diana thought he was cute.

Thinking about her unfinished paper, Diana was even more nervous.

She walked into his office and didn't see anyone. "Professor Morgan?"

"He is not here." A man replied, and Diana was scared by the voice.

She looked around and found that a man wearing a baseball cap was squatting behind the desk, piling cardboard boxes. Scared by him, Diana replied angrily: "Excuse me, the college has a rule that delivery guys are not allowed to enter the teaching buildings."

"So where should I put the parcels?" The man asked and stopped what he was doing.

"You can put them in the front office with the security guards." Realizing that he didn't know the rule, Diana answered him patiently, "You will be in big trouble if the security finds you here. Now leave. I will not tell anyone else."

Shrugging his shoulders slightly, the man stood up.

He was tall and wore a white T-shirt. With his broad shoulders and muscular upper body, he looked great in just the simple T-shirt. He was like a supermodel. The man said: "Are you Professor Morgan's student?"

"Yes, why do you ask that?" Diana replied doubtfully.

"Diana, you are here." Diana heard a loud voice. A cheery professor walked in.

"Professor." Diana ran to greet him. She said: "There is a man...."

"Ah, have you already met? He is your senior, Kyle Norton." Professor Morgan smiled and turned to Kyle. "Kyle, this is your junior. Her name is Diana Anderson."

"Hi, Diana." Taking off his cap, Kyle showed more of his young and handsome face. He was clearly a very well cultured man. How would Diana think he was a delivery person?

"Nice to see you, Kyle." Diana smiled awkwardly. How embarrassing!

"I am going traveling with my wife to celebrate our anniversary. I hope you two finish the project I mentioned." The Professor didn't seem to notice the uncomfortable atmosphere between Kyle and Diana and continued happily, "You two should get along just fine."

"That'll be no problem, Professor. Diana is lovely. I'll take care of her." Kyle replied naturally and looked at Diana with a smile.

"I will work with Kyle," Diana answered in a low tone. Meeting with her co-worker for the first time and she had acted so foolishly. How could she come back from this?

Professor Morgan had been married to his wife for thirty years, and they celebrated every anniversary. This year, they planned to travel to Hawaii. So, the Professor asked his favorite student Kyle Norton to help Diana. He gave some advice to Diana before leaving.

"Kyle is an excellent student. Diana, you can ask him if you have any questions about your study." The Professor tended to say a lot when he was in a good mood. He continued: "If you fail the exams, I can do nothing about it."

Diana cleared her throat, and her face went bright red. "Professor, please do not reveal my shortcomings."

Kyle smiled slightly beside them. He was kind of interested in Diana and looked at her. "Diana, I'll be happy to help you with your homework."

Walking out of Professor's Morgan's office, Diana sulked and pretended not to see Kyle who was walking behind her.

Kyle said gently: "Diana, we're going to complete this project together. It will take a few days for us to finish. Let's go get a cup of coffee, and we can re-introduce ourselves, start over, how about it? It's on me."

His words were reasonable, and he spoke in a gentle way. Diana could no longer keep her poker face and replied with a smile: "OK."

Sitting in a cafe beside the school gate and eating desserts, Diana was much happier and talked a lot with Kyle.

"How did I never see you before?" Diana asked, looking at Kyle. Such a handsome senior must be famous in college.

"I went on a student exchange program when I was a sophomore," Kyle answered with a smile. Diana found that Kyle loved to smile. When he smiled with his bright white teeth, people were quick to like him.

"I see." Diana nodded. No wonder she hadn't met him before in Professor Morgan's office.

Sitting behind the glass window, Diana chatted contentedly with Kyle and was completely unaware of a sharp pair of eyes now fixed on them.
