Chapter Two: No Last Goodbye

Ten years ago

Lucy POV

I'm so excited to climb on stage to earn a diploma from our professors. It's graduation day and I can't believe that we are now graduates. I search Kent everywhere but I can't find him. We both dreamt to study business together at Oxford University after we finish high school. I'm super excited to be with him in the dorm. We can have all the time and love for each other and no one will dare to bully me anymore especially some rich students I know. 

The graduation ceremony is about to start but still no sign of Kent. I took my phone from my bag and dialed his number. I will call him if he was on his way. His phone keeps ringing but no one is answering. I started to think negative things. What if he got into a car accident and his parents didn't know it? I tried to calm down myself. Maybe he's inside the traffic jam. 

The ceremony is about to end and Kent is still nowhere. What took him so long? The Graduation day is very memorable to students like us and why he missed this kind of event in his life? 

I think I need to check him in his house.

Kent POV

"Dad why you won't let me attend my graduation day?" I am now in the range of my anger. 

My father is Alexander Stone, the owner of Kings and Queens Hotel. Since mom died, he decided my life. He is the one who mandated me to do this, do that, go there, and doesn't do that. Everything in my life is calculated by him even my studies and my feelings. I'm now wearing my graduation uniform when he stops me with the help of his bodyguards. We were arguing inside his office. 

He spread pictures of me and Lucy at his table and I don't know how he got a shot of us. 

"Is this what you will repay me? To date a girl where her family had a huge debt?" His voice was quite loud. 

Yeah, I and Lucy are dating for months, and my father doesn't know about it. I'm scared that he might hurt her when he finds out about our relationship. 

"I love her father! Please let me go. I beg you!" I almost on my knees in front of him but his heart is as cold as winter. 

"Mr. Jo, take him to the airport!" He ordered his men. 

I struggled not to go but they're strong to drag me out of the house. 

"Dad, Lucy is waiting! Don't do this to me!" I keep on kicking and screaming but dad was like the deaf. 

"Eloisa is waiting. She can be a good partner for you, my son. I'm so sorry to drag you into this mess but I had no choice!" My father murmured as he followed his sights to me until I was gone. 

I am now inside the car and I ask Mr. Jo if I can borrow his phone but he just ignored my wish. I sigh and just let out soft sobs on my face. 

I lost and dad won. 

"I'm so sorry Lucy but I guess it's time for me to let you go" I mumbled. 

We finally arrived at the airport and I saw Eloisa waiting for me outside their private plane. I've known her for so long since she was Lucy's best friend. I can't hurt her this way. I need to talk to her to tell her dad that she doesn't love me and she had a boyfriend. What if Gale finds out about this? He might kill me. 

"Kent, you came. I'm glad you came. Let's go!" She smiled as nothing happened. 

How can she so brazen when her friend is waiting for me like crazy and here we are, we both going abroad to study and our parents even arranged our early marriage? 

I saw Eloisa took my hand and lead me inside the plane. 

"I know it hurts but I accept it. I hope you will love me the way you put all your heart to Lucy" Eloisa cupped my chin and she slowly kisses my lips. I just stay there like I like it too. 

"What is happening to me?" I asked myself. 

Until she tried to kiss me again but I was the one to take the lead this time. I'm mad and pissed. I need to let go of this emotion because it kills me inside. I had to forget Lucy. I roughly smashed my lips to her and she moaned. As the private plane flies, both of us are having a good time inside. 

I unzipped my pants after I shove her face on my hardness. 

"Do you like it?" She asked me but I ignored her. 

She sat beside me and lick the side of my ears. It tickles and electricity hits my nerves. 

"One more?" She said while caressing it with her hands. 

She insisted so I cupped her neck and pushed it down there. I twitch every time she touches the tip with her tongue. It feels so good and she sucks my thing like a hardcore. 

"Who teaches you that?" I asked her while holding on to my orgasm. 

She just smiled and swallowed it whole and I almost let out my first moan like a man. 

"Fuck!" I yelled after she finishes swallowing it all.

Lucy POV

I waited for a cab outside the campus. I will check my boyfriend in his house. I called Eloisa many times but her phone is off too. I wonder how they end up leaving me here alone on our graduation day?

I feel relieved when a black car stop in front of me but when I saw a familiar man coming out of the car, I decided to run. 

"Dad, what is this again?" I said as I ran with my life. 

I thought I got an escape from the thugs but I was wrong. Somebody snatch my long hair and pulled it closer to him. 

"Where are you going pretty easy?" His voice is like a lunatic. 

"Let me go! How can you be so cruel to a student like me?" I keep on struggling. 

"Stop now okay. I'll pay my father's debt." My strength is now drained.

I lost and they won. Finally, he let go of me. I stumbled on the ground. 

" Better do that or else, I will kill your father!" He warned me and I just cry in the corner. 

They left me shivering in fear. 

I almost forgot that I will pay a visit to Kent's house. I will check if he was not feeling well or something came up so he failed to attend.

I check the calling card he gave to me the first day he asks my name. There's his address on it. I'm sure this is the place. 

"Wow!" My eyes filled with amusement. 

I never thought how rich he was. He didn't tell me that he was living inside this huge mansion. I saw a doorbell and press it. 

"Kent! It's me, Lucy! Do you hear me?" I shouted outside until a lady in her mid-forties appeared after opening the gate for me. 

"Who are you, lady?" She asked me coldly. 

I smiled and tell her my name. 

"I'm Lucy Mason and I am looking for Kent Oliver Stone? Is he living here?" I said and her expression suddenly turned out very cold. She growled like a cheetah. 

"Kent just flew to England with his girlfriend. Ah, he left a letter for you." She said and handed me the white envelope. 

I went home and read it after putting my bag on my bed. 

To Lucy, 

I don't love you anymore. Don't wait for me forever. While you're reading this, I am now on a private plane with my future fiance. Take care. Bye. 

Kent,

My eyes turned blurry as the tears began to roll down my face. My chest tightened in pain. How can he hurt me? 

       

         *************************

I just woke up and I realized whom I bed with last night. I trailed my hands on the mattress if he was still with me but instead of grabbing his hands, I found a letter. I cupped my head as I got up from my bed. I think a drink a lot of whiskeys last night. 

"Urghhh" I mumbled to ease the pain. 

I'm still half asleep while reading It. 

"Hi, I had fun last night. Call me if you need some company. 

Kent, 

I laid my back once again on my bed. I wanted to scream in joy. I think my dream came true. I giggly rolled my body all over due to excitement until I realized it's my first day in my new job. 

" Fuck! I'm late" I said and hurriedly fix myself to attend to my first work.

        *************************

"Good morning sir, I'm so-----" I can't believe who I saw today. 

"Kent?" I was surprised. 

A smirk came on his face.

"Good morning Miss Mason, you're late!" His voice seems like a pill to me.
