“Diana.” Picking up her phone, Diana heard her twin brother’s cold voice.

“Daniel! Why can’t you be kinder when you speak with me? I am your sister. But every time when you call me, I feel like I am talking with a stranger.”

Still, Diana was quite relieved to find it wasn’t a phone call from Brian.

But Daniel made her worry again. He asked: “Are you in trouble?”

“I... Why do you say that? I am not in trouble.” Diana smiled to hide her fear. Though in truth, just being asked that question, she was already sweating.

“I hope not. But anyway, I have settled on it. You stay at home for a while and don’t go out. If you make any more trouble, I won’t save you.”

“Daniel, you are the best brother ever!” Hearing his reply, Diana was overjoyed and so grateful, thanking and praising her brother over and over.

But Daniel just hung up. All Diana could hear was the “di di” sound. “What a shame, couldn’t you just be nicer?” Diana thought.

She rolled over on the bed and sat up. Since Daniel had settled everything with Brian, now she could stop hiding in the dormitory and go out!

“Diana.” Antonette White came in with a take-out just as Diana opened the door. Carrying the take-out, Antonette saw that Diana was well dressed and asked confusedly: “Why have you changed your clothes? Are you going out? I’ve brought you those beef noodles.”

“Forget beef noodles! Come with me. Let’s go for a feast somewhere, then Karaoke. It’s on me!” Diana grabbed the take-out, put it on the table, and took hold of Antonette’s hands.

“Alright. Give me some time to change,” Antonette replied.

After getting dressed, the two girls left the dormitory hand in hand and headed for the bus stop beside the school gate.

Seeing that Diana was so happy, Antonette asked: “Diana, what happened? You hid in the dormitory for days, and now you are suddenly OK again.”

Diana was sucking happily on a lollipop and answered vaguely: “Nothing happened. I am just happy. How about Japanese food? I’ll treat you.”

“You always pay for the bill. I...” Biting her lip, Antonette lowered her head. She always felt so inferior in these moments.

“Stop saying that.” Diana interrupted. She knew that Antonette grew up in a single-parent family and didn’t have much allowance. So, Diana always paid the bill when they went out.

Diana tried to change the subject. “You help me a lot. Just consider it, me showing my gratitude. Ah! After dinner, would you prefer to go to a bar or to karaoke?”

Diana was a fun-loving person, but she had been hidden in the dormitory for days without socializing. Now it was safe to go out, she was very enthusiastic and spoke passionately to Antonette.

Suddenly they heard a loud honk. Diana and Antonette tried to find whose car it was. A black Maybach stopped outside the school gate. The elaborate design on the luxurious car drew the students’ attention.

“Very flashy, isn’t it?” Diana murmured. Scared by the loud sound, Diana held Antonette’s hand and tried to leave.

But Antonette stood still and gazed at the car. She whispered: “Diana, the man sitting in the car seems to be looking at us.”

“Does he?” Diana was confused. She was not familiar with anyone who could afford a Maybach.

The car door opened, and a mixed-race man in a shirt and jeans walked out. He seemed to be over six feet tall and was incredibly handsome.

Some girls standing beside him started screaming and taking pictures with him on their phones.

The man walked to the other side of the car and bent down to open the door for another man. The man inside the car was even taller than the first. His well-designed suit showed off his perfect figure and long straight legs. He was wearing sunglasses but judging from his tall nose and sexy lips, everyone could tell that he was a gorgeous man.

Moreover, this man was rich and powerful. Seeing him walking toward them, Antonette grasped her dress nervously.

Diana opened her mouth, and her lollipop dropped to the ground.

It was Brian William! How could he know she studied at this university?

Wondering whether this man was going to kill her to keep his secret, Diana shivered, and her face turned to white. Meanwhile, the girl standing beside her, Antonette White, was blushing with excitement.

They were both immersed in their own thoughts and did not notice each other’s reactions. Brian William stopped before them and took off his sunglasses. His eyes were brighter than stars.

Looking at his gorgeous face, Antonette breathed deeply. This was the most handsome man she had ever met! Facing the man’s cold expression, Antonette asked: “What can I do...”

“Diana Anderson,” the man interrupted Antonette and looked directly at Diana, “You are the little sister of Daniel Anderson, aren’t you?”

“I... You must have the wrong person. Actually, I am Daniel’s other sister. My name is Dian Anderson,” Diana slowly uttered, looking at Brian's threatening eyes.

“You lied to me last time. Do you know what I do to people who lie to me?” Brian still felt ashamed by his foolish mistake and was eager to erase the memory if he could.

“I am sorry. I beg your pardon...” Lowering her head, Diana apologized to him.

Meanwhile, Antonette was getting upset that the handsome man was not paying attention to her. She thus decided to do something to make him remember her. This might be the only chance that she would get to make friends with such an outstanding man. And such a man was standing so close to her. How could she miss the chance?

Antonette pulled Diana’s arms and stood before her. It was only then that Brian noticed Antonette. It seemed that he hadn’t seen her until now. Brian looked her up and down with an appreciative smile and asked: “Who are you?”

“I am Diana’s best friend, Antonette White. Why do you want Diana? Did she offend you? Whatever she did, please forgive her.” Antonette replied with a soft and sweet voice. She often behaved in this innocent, shy way, which regularly attracted the attention of men through their desire to protect her.

Hearing Antonette’s words, Diana was almost moved to tears. Antonette, you are my true friend!

However, Antonette’s introduction didn’t move Brian at all. He looked straight past her and gazed at Diana again.

“You...My brother says that he has settled it. I cannot help you...” Diana said, shivering. Brian was worried that she would reveal his secret, so he grabbed her hand and pulled her into his car.

“What are you doing?!” Falling on her stomach on the back seat, Diana covered her head and screamed.

Brian sat in the car beside her and grabbed her neck. “You are too noisy! Shut up!”

“Please calm down. Don’t kill me!” Diana stopped fighting and looked at Brian with tears running down her face.

Although she looked like her brother Daniel, Brian much preferred her timid reaction. Moving his hand off Diana’s neck, Brian said with a light smile: “Don’t worry. Before you cure me, I will keep you alive.”

“Didn’t you talk about it with my brother? Haven’t you settled everything? Are you still impotent?” Diana looked at him, confused. What she said deeply hurt Brian. Brian looked dreadful.

After the misunderstanding with Diana’s brother Daniel, Brian had begged for Daniel’s forgiveness and paid a lot for the famous physician’s diagnosis. But the result was no different from what Brian had gotten before. He was healthy, and his manhood was functioning well. His impotence was the result of something in his mind, and he might recover without treatment sometime in the future.

However, Brian had tried to have sex with women in recent days. But it turned out that he still couldn’t get hard. What was worse, his family called him again, reminding him that he was engaged and soon to be married. Under pressure from his family, Brian was even more nervous.

He recalled that after getting shot, he had only gotten hard once, by Diana’s touch. So, he came to Diana again.

“You and your brother didn’t cure me. So, I am here for your after-sales service.” Brian replied.

“Daniel! You told me that you settled it! You liar!” Diana thought angrily.

Diana was almost crying. She turned nervously to look at Brian. “I... Actually, I know very little about traditional Chinese medicine. If you want to be cured, you’d better ask for my brother’s help.”

“You made me hard last time. I trust you.” Brian said earnestly, while his hand was touching something in his pocket.

Hidden in the pocket, Diana could see its shape. Was it a pistol?

The air-conditioners in the car were on. But she was sweating. “I... I will not disappoint you. Can you please just keep your pistol away?” Diana cried.

Brian looked at her jokingly. He put his hand into the pocket and took out a checkbook. He wrote a number on it and held it out for Diana to see. “This is the deposit on your treatment. If you cure me, you can take the rest of the payment.”

Staring at the number, Diana was greedy for a large amount of money. But she was determined to refuse. Seriously, what if she got killed for the money? She replied: “But I really have no idea how to cure you.”

“Diana Anderson, does your brother operate his clinic without a proper license?” Brian asked, his face calm and unrevealing. But Diana felt frightened. He continued: “And you, Miss Anderson. You have failed many subjects in the past three years. I think it might be difficult for you to graduate.”

“Are you threatening me?” Diana was annoyed by Brian's words. She turned to glare at Brian's handsome face. This bastard! Diana was frightened before. But now faced with Brian's threat, she was annoyed.

“I’ll give you a choice.” Brian smiled slightly and dropped the check. “Cure me in a month, or you drop out of college, and your brother’s clinic is shut down.”

“You say it like I have any other choice...” Diana took the check and got out of the car, slamming the door behind her.

“Why do you behave so coolly towards me? I have seen you so emotional and fiery when it comes to other things,” Diana scolded Brian silently. As the black Maybach pulled away and out of sight, Diana still stood angrily beside the road.

Antonette White ran to Diana and instantly noticed her dark expression. Antonette asked confusedly: “Diana, who was that man?”

“That man? He is a...” Diana stopped herself mentioning Brian's impotence and bad temper. She reminded herself of the confidentiality agreement between herself and Brian. If she told anyone his secret, she would surely suffer.

“It’s no big deal. I am not very familiar with him.”

“Do you know his name?” Unlike her usual timid self, Antonette persisted in asking, “You seem intimate with him. And you have been behaving strangely these days. Was it all about him? Is... is he your boyfriend?”

How could it be possible? Antonette’s question frightened Diana. How could she fall in love with that man?

As they continued with the rest of their night, Antonette kept asking and trying to get more information about Brian. Diana was exhausted by her questioning. Moreover, she also wondered how to cure Brian. Finally, Diana decided to call it a day, and they went back to the school dormitories.

The next morning, Diana was awakened by a call. She picked up her phone and heard Ken’s voice. “Diana, I am downstairs. It’s time to go.”

“God damn it!” Diana grumbled and struggled to get up.

“Diana, are you going out?” Seeing Diana was wearing clothes, Antonette sat up on her bed and said, “We don’t have class this morning.”

“I have something to do,” Diana replied.

“What is it? Are you going to meet the man we saw yesterday?” Girls truly are gifted with excellent intuition.

Diana was nervous. She wasn’t good at lying but couldn’t tell Antonette the truth either. She replied: “No. I’m going home. Goodbye!”

Then she grabbed her bag and rushed out of the dormitory.

Sitting on the bed, Antonette White had a bad feeling. “Diana is hiding from me because she is afraid that the rich man might fall in love with me, isn’t she? And she always says that I am her best friend. But nothing is more important than her own interests.”

Antonette’s mood was saddened. She noticed Diana’s expensive skincare products and began to sulk. It was all because she didn’t have rich parents and a gifted brother. She must plan for her future. With this in mind, Antonette was determined to get Brian's attention.

Sitting in Ken’s car, Diana was brought to Brian's house again. This time she could see clearly what the house looked like.

A real billionaire wouldn’t build their villa in some remote area, but somewhere like this place.

Brian's house was located in the downtown area. Here, every square inch of land was worth a fortune. In the most prosperous area of the city, the whole land was used to build villas, each villa separated from the neighboring buildings, on its own piece of land. Unlike the hazy polluted air in the rest of the city, the air here was crisp and clean, thanks to the large areas of plants and trees that grew all around.

The downtown area was also attractive due to its convenience in relation to transportation and entertainment. It was designed to make people enjoy tranquility in the most prosperous area of the city.

The iron gate opened automatically. The car stopped in the parking lot. Diana got out of the car, and her legs felt like jelly, forcing her to walk in a rather odd fashion.

Seeing her movements, Ken asked confusedly: “Do you get car sick?”

“No, I get money sick,” Diana answered.

“Nonsense,” Ken murmured. He guided Diana through the well-decorated living room and stopped at the reading room. After knocking on the door, Ken said: “Boss, Diana Anderson is here.”

“Let her in.” Diana heard a soft but cold voice.

The door opened. The room was well lit, and its windows were open. The scent of flowers flowed through the room.

“Mr. William.” Being in his house, Diana decided she had to try and placate him.

Brian was not wearing his usual suit. Instead, he wore a plaid shirt and brown trousers, in the classic, traditional style.

“So, have you figured out how to cure me?” Brian asks directly.

“Yes. I thought about it all last night and came up with a special prescription for you. Once you stick to taking it, you will be cured.” Diana said with a professional tone.

Squinting his eyes, Brian gazed at Diana. It was like he could tell what she was thinking about. “How long do I have to take it?”

Maybe eight or even ten years... Diana complained in her mind while answering in a serious tone: “It can’t be rushed. Your impotence is caused by your mind. After taking medicine, you might become erect immediately like last time or take six months to a year for recovery.”

“I cannot wait for so long.” Brian stared at Diana coldly. “You have to cure me in a month. Otherwise...” he paused, “I will have no choice but to go for my plan B,” he thought to himself.

Diana didn’t know what he intended to say and replied sulkily: “I can’t make the promise that I will cure you. I have told you I am not a real physician, and you’d be better off going to my brother.”

“I believe in you.” Brian glanced at her and took out an agreement. “If you cannot cure me in a month, this agreement will be nothing but a piece of paper. But until then, you will have to do everything you can to cure me and keep my secret.”

“Really? To be honest, I have always thought that I am gifted in medicine ever since I was a child. But my parents didn’t think so and taught Daniel all that they have mastered, which has always made me quite angry.” Diana smiled shyly. “You are the first person who trusts in my talent for medicine.”

Brian didn’t show much interest in her childhood and pointed at the agreement. “If you agree with what I said, please sign the agreement.”

Roughly scanning the agreement, she couldn’t see anything unusual and signed her name.

After signing it, Diana thought she had perhaps not been careful enough and wanted to read the agreement again. But Brian took it from her and ordered: “OK. Go to prepare my medicine.” Diana felt he was treating her as if she was his servant.

As she squatted in the kitchen to boil the medicine, Diana deliberately added a handful of bitter herbs to the mixture.

A large bowl was put before Brian, a black and smelly concoction bubbling within. Smelling it, Brian was sure he wouldn’t be interested in any other food that day.

Standing beside him, Diana looked at him earnestly. “Drink it. Good medicine tastes bitter. For your self-esteem, be a man and drink up!”

Brian held the bowl and drank the concoction. He frowned and said: “Diana Anderson! You better pray this medicine works!”

“I promise,” Diana swore. Though in her head, she was not so sure.

Diana was driven to boil medicine for Brian every day for two weeks. The prescriptions were from Daniel and were good for treating impotence. At the very least, they wouldn’t do any harm.

Every day Diana went out in the morning and came back to the dormitory in the evening. As such, her roommates wondered if maybe she was now dating someone. Antonette White was especially curious about this topic and questioned Diana several times but never got what she wanted to know.

Diana was optimistic about the situation. After this month, she would be free. Unfortunately, Brian William did not have the same idea.

Diana walked into Brian's living room and almost burst out laughing. Brian's nose was stuffed with tissue. She asked: “Is your nose bleeding?”

Brian took out the tissue and threw it into the trash. Luckily, his nose had stopped bleeding.

He didn’t answer and glanced at her coldly. His cold expression successfully stopped Diana’s questioning. And then he uttered: “Did you add something you shouldn’t have? Do you think this is a joke?”

“No...” Diana stared at the floor and was too frightened to make eye contact with him. She lowered her head and murmured sorrowfully: “I cannot cure you. And you know it...”

Brian was about to say something, but his phone rang and interrupted him.

Diana saw his face become colder after picking up the phone. Brian hung up the phone and looked at her with a serious expression: “My engagement ceremony has been brought forward. We have no time to waste. Now, let’s try plan B.”

“What’s plan B?” Diana was perplexed by his words.

Brian stood and leaned towards Diana with his hands on the table. Diana’s astonishing face was reflected back in his black eyes. “How did you get me hard last time?”

Diana understood his hint but pretended to have no idea what he meant. She stammered: “I... I inserted a needle into you.”

“Your hand,” Brian said directly. “You made me get hard with your hand last time. Try it again.”

“What the hell!” Diana was shocked and jumped away from him. “Are you crazy? I am not going to sacrifice myself by doing that!”

Brian walked around the table and stepped towards Diana. Diana was forced to step back until she had her back to the wall. Brian said, “I am not interested in you. I just need your hands.”

“My hands are not meant to serve you in this way!” Recalling what she felt about his manhood, Diana blushed. She had been single her whole life. She had never even had a first kiss. This was too much for her.

“Have you forgotten your mission? You’re in charge of my treatment. Act professionally.” Brian said unemotionally. But a smile appeared in his eyes. He grabbed Diana’s hand and pushed it toward his groin.

“Ahhhhh!” Diana screamed crazily. Brian thought he might go deaf from her screech. So, he released her hand and rubbed his ears.

Diana seized the chance and jumped away from him. She shouted in a fury: “I quit! I know nothing about all this! You are disgusting! Go find someone else to cure you!”

She continued shouting at him. Brian had never been spoken to in this way before.

His face turned black again, and he threw their agreement down on the table. “It is written in this agreement that if you break your promise, you have to pay me ten million dollars in compensation.”

“That’s bull-shit!” Diana didn’t believe it and grabbed the agreement. There was a sentence in small font towards the end of the document. It read that if she broke her promise, she must pay Brian ten million dollars.

“You lied to me!” She tore the paper into pieces and looked at Brian elatedly. “Now, your evidence is gone.”

Brian pulled the drawer out slowly and produced another piece of paper. “That was just a copy. This is the original version.”

Diana ground her teeth in frustration, and reluctantly said: “You win.”
