"This is it, our graduation day. I went home to our house. My mom helped me with light makeup. I wore a dress and put on my graduation gown. I also wore black 2-inch sandals. We got in our car and headed to the school.

-FAST FORWARD-

We arrived in front of the school, where many parents and students were already gathered. My mom and I got out of the car and walked. We immediately saw Ellaine with her parents, so I greeted them. Our parents are business partners, so we are close.

We reached the gym, where there were many seats and students. I quickly spotted Dark, looking handsome in his graduation gown. Sh*t, is this guy really my boyfriend?

My mom and dad greeted him and hugged him. His parents also hugged me, and his younger sister. He secretly hugged me and quickly kissed me on the lips and forehead.

We sat in our designated seats, and he sat next to me, holding my hand. One by one, our names were called until it was my turn.

"XYRINE ELLISE RODRIQUEZ, Summa c*m Laude," the MC announced. Everyone clapped, and proudly, my partner beside me clapped while holding my hand. He smiled sweetly at me.

I stood up and waited for my mom and dad at the bottom of the stage because they were the ones who would hang the medal on me. They smiled at me and hugged me with pride.

"Suddenly, they hung my medal around my neck, and my mom fixed my hair because it got messed up. We took a picture together on the stage. I gave a speech and thanked everyone.

"And thank you to my beloved boyfriend, I love you so much," I happily greeted, and everyone applauded. There were whispers about me having a boyfriend, asking who it was.

I returned to my seat, and he held my hand. After a while, his name was called. He was also a c*m Laude. His parents hung the medal on him, and he gave a speech, thanking everyone.

"And thanks to my girlfriend for supporting me to achieve this, I love you so much," he said before stepping down.

"Wow, King has a girlfriend."

"Yes, that's right."

"It's not Ellise."

"Huhuhuhu, they were literally brought together but not destined to be."

They were gossiping, but I didn't pay attention to them. He quickly sat next to me, held my hand, and kissed me. We finished the graduation ceremony, and everyone took pictures and shared stories with their friends. He hugged me tightly, and I felt his kiss on my forehead.

"I love you," he said. I smiled sweetly at him.

"I love you so much," I affectionately replied, tightening my embrace.

We approached our respective parents. My mom and dad hugged me, and I hugged his parents. I hugged his parents, and he hugged mine. I took off my graduation gown and changed into a dress. We celebrated by going to an expensive restaurant with Dark's friends and mine. We were all here, chatting and discussing our plans.

"What about you, Ellise? Where are you going for vacation?" Xyrene suddenly asked. Our parents weren't around; they had their own worlds.

So, I looked at Dark because he would be handling his family's company now, while I would still be in college.

"I don't know yet," I replied, and he nodded in agreement. We continued eating, and later, we paid the bill and went back to our respective homes.

Two months passed, and it's our vacation now. Ellaine informed me that they were going to France with her parents. I don't know if Jaydon is with her. Liam is also not here; he's practicing how to handle their own company. As for Sam, her boyfriend, he's in the U.S. with his parents. Meanwhile, I'm just here in our condo with Dark. He's not at his company today because he's starting to take over. Suddenly, my phone rang, and I answered it.

"Hello," I greeted.

"Sweety, come here. Kuya's wife has given birth," Mommy said. I was delighted because I wasn't able to visit them during Kuya's wedding.

"I'll try, Mom," I replied.

"Alright," she said, and I ended the call.

I spent the whole day in my room, just sleeping and eating. Sometimes, Dark would call to check on me.

In the evening, I cooked our dinner, and then I said goodbye to Dark. I wanted to visit Mommy and Kuya to see them. I hope he allows me. I took a quick shower and changed before going downstairs. I sat on the sofa and turned on the TV, watching it. Suddenly, the door opened, and Dark came out, dressed in business attire. He looked even more handsome. It was evident that he was tired.

I quickly approached him and kissed him on the lips. He kissed my forehead and hugged me tightly.

"Love... Can I go to Mommy and Kuya's place? Kuya's wife has given birth, and I want to see them. I'll come back right away," I said to him, looking into his eyes.

He looked at me, analyzing me.

"Okay," he said.

I was delighted with his response.

"Thank you," I happily said to him, kissing him on the lips and hugging him tightly.

-THE NEXT DAY-

I quickly packed my things because he would drop me off at the airport. I went downstairs, carrying my suitcase. I immediately saw him in his business attire. He quickly opened the car door for me and took my suitcase from the car's compartment. I hugged him tightly, feeling his kiss on my forehead.

"Take care of yourself here. Don't let yourself go hungry. I'll come back right away," I said to him, looking into his eyes.

"Did you understand? I'm serious, huh? Try to flirt with someone here, and you'll see," I threatened him.

He laughed and hugged me tightly.

"Yes, Mrs. I understood," he said. Pssshh, polite but still a flirt.

"Oh? Okay, I might be late," I said to him, and he quickly kissed me on the lips. I responded to his kiss.

"I will wait for you here," he said, smiling at me before nodding.

I turned away from him, carrying my suitcase. I felt like crying because I might not be able to come back here. Whether I can come back or not, I love you so much, and that won't change. You're the only man in my heart, and no one can separate us."
