"Come in," Diamond's voice came from inside her office.

I opened the door and entered her office. My eyes immediately turned to the CCTVs and made sure both of them were off before turning my gaze to Diamond who was sitting behind her desk and locked the door. Since last night's incident, I decided to be more careful with her because if Pearl could do that to keep Mia away from me, she could have done the same.

"Ethan." She got up from her seat excitedly.

"Good Afternoon, Miss Diamond." I walked over to her and took a seat.

"There's no one else besides us. Just call my name," she said as she sat down in her chair.

"Okay."

"I just finished your request," she began our conversation.

"Do you want to check it out?" She turned her laptop to me.

"Has anyone responded?" My eyes moved side to side, reading the laptop screen before me.

"None of them has responded to my email yet," she replied.

I glanced at her briefly before returning my gaze to her laptop screen. She seems to have sent her apology to her victims, but actually--she didn't. Even though all of these email addresses were similar to the real ones, I know that all these emails are fake because I checked and remembered them well yesterday. I knew this had something to do with her pride as a Kraken descendant so she was still stubborn and didn't want to admit her mistakes.

'Observation.'

I checked her emotions with my observation skill to make sure she didn't plan to set me up again.

[Observation skill succeeded.]

"I don't understand why you care so much about them. You don't even know who they are, and vice versa. How long do you want to play a hero?" she said unhappily. All of her victims were from the senior semester. Of course, I didn't know any of them.

A short cynical laugh escaped my mouth. I took a breath before my hand caressed the side of her face slowly.

"Don't get me wrong, I've never been interested in playing a hero. I just don't like what you did to them." I brought my lips closer to her ear.

"Especially your arrogance and irresponsibility." It was very easy for her to treat the others at her will since she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and with her ability as a Kraken's descendant she would never experience anything like them either. But she was my partner now, I had to teach her because I wasn't interested in having a woman who bully others.

Her tentacles began to stick and creep on my body.

"Ethan, I'll remind you once more. Even though you've signed the contract, but you still a student ---"

"Owner," I interrupted her. I pulled my face and shifted it in front of her face.

"In the contract, you say you gave me this college," I reminded her.

"But, you are still a student, while I'm the chairwoman. Besides, it happened before you became the owner. As the previous Diamond College's owner, I refused to cancel my decision," she said firmly.

I sighed in annoyance as my hand shifted across her lips. But despite my gentle gesture, my eyes stared at her sharply.

"Are you threatening me?" I said in an unhappy tone. I never demanded my women to always obey me and respect their freedom but her arrogance had crossed the line.

She turned her face away.

"I'm not threatening you. I just... want you to obey me a bit," she scowled.

'Obey her? Did I hear correctly? Does she think she can tame a demon like me?'

She turned to face me and put her hands on my shoulders.

"Ethan, I really like you. You are a special person for me ... Just focus on our relationship, there's no need to care about the others. After all, that students' problems have no effect on us," she replied indifferently.

What a selfish answer ... I thought she was just like Pearl but it turns out she was more self-centred than Pearl. How could she still refuse to admit her mistake and apologize? It was just a simple thing. After all, it was all in the contract, she should have fulfilled it.

An evil smirk developed across my face as my hand took her glasses and placed them on the desk.

"Looks like I have to discipline you," I said in a casual tone. Even though she knew my profile,but I was not afraid anymore since I just discovered an interesting skill to control this situation. But of course, I will only use it if I have to.

Her eyes widened as she could tell I wasn't messing with my words. Quickly, she removed her hands from me, opened the drawer to take a remote and pressed the button to turn on the CCTVs. But of course, since I broke it, the CCTVs didn't respond even though she had pressed it repeatedly. I could see she was getting more and more panicked.

"Are your CCTVs broken?" I mocked her. I took the remote from her hand and threw it away nonchalantly.

Then I leaned forward and grabbed her chin.

"Are you afraid? Didn't you say I was only a student?"

She certainly knew that. Even though I was the owner of this college, after all, all of this came from her and no one knew about the contract apart from us as well. But from her tentacles, she could also feel something wild boiling inside me.

"Back off or I'll punish you!" she ordered.

"I don't want to," I answered nonchalantly. Since she broke her contract, I had no interest in playing as her gentleman.

I crawled forward, got off the desk and stood in front of her. While she released her tentacles from me and tried to run away but I slammed both my hands on the arms of her chair, blocking her to escape. "Diamond ~ Shall we start this game?"
