Page 49 of In Love with a Cruel Billionaire

“This is none of your business—-”

“She’s my teacher!”

“She’s my lover!”

Diana shut up, stunned not by the words but by the tone of possessiveness that underscored it. Even so, she could not get Ms. Yay’s face out of her mind.

“Don’t go after her. I’ll go talk to her instead. You don’t deserve—-”

He cut her off flatly. “I may not deserve her, but I will still go after her.” For a moment, he wasn’t speaking to Diana as a brother, but as a man whose hold over his woman was being threatened – a man who would do anything to keep his woman in his possession.

“I’ll warn you just this once, Diana. Do not interfere. This is our business alone, not yours.”

Chapter 3

To trust a Greek billionaire, one must remember that he does not ever mean to hurt you. He only thinks he’s always right.

She said: Always.

He said: You will not get an argument from me about that.

MAIRI STOPPED MOVINGonly when her ill-exercised limbs were no longer able to work and her chest was heaving too hard for her to breathe properly.

She looked around, realizing a second later that she had run blindly to the back of the school, with the beach near enough that she could smell the salt in the air.

Hearing the lightest footsteps, Mairi assumed it was Diana looking for her and as she turned around, she tried to think of what to say that wouldnotmake her look like the fool she really was.

But again, Damen ended up surprising her.

“You!” She backed away immediately at the look of resolve on Damen’s face. Why was he here? Why had he come after her? What did he want?

So many questions she wanted to ask but didn’t. If she did, Mairi knew it would make her look like she still cared.

He took a step forward, and she backed up a step, too.
