It’s not what she wanted because her heart belongs to someone and he was Kent’s little brother Gale. Unfortunately, their dad forces him to study a culinary course abroad.
But anything can be possible At least, Kent can’t say no about this and Lucy will be miserable her whole life if she heard this exciting news.
“But Dad, what if Kent won’t accept it?”, she said after making her way to an empty chair in front of her father.
Paul crossed his arms in front of his chest and lean his back against the chair.
” He can’t say no, my dear since his dad took huge money from me and their business is falling.” Her dad proudly said and Eloisa giggled after knowing it.

Graduation day
Kent rushed to his dad’s office when he realized that he hired bodyguards to stop him from attending their graduation day.
As he slammed the door on his dad’s office, Alexander was there so calm while reading an article about their business. Kings and Queens hotel is suffering from bankruptcy and thanks to Eloisa’s dad, it will grow again. He put a lot of investments in him so there is no turning back.
“Dad, where is my uniform? I am late for my graduation! And why is it that the house was surrounded by bodyguards, what are you planning to do this time? To caged me?”, his anger was in the range that his body trembled.
” You will not attend! Eloisa is waiting at the airport! Both of you will get married as soon as possible after you arrived in States! No more questions Kent!”, his dad said with his boisterous voice.
Kent walked closer to his dad and set an angry face.
“What? I have a girlfriend and I can’t marry Eloisa! I don’t love her!”, he continued to argue but his dad didn’t want to hear anything from him.
” My decision is final! Jo, take him inside the car and bring him to the airport!”, Alexander ordered one of his bodyguards.
Kent shouted and struggle but they’re three of them.

Wedding day
Every man’s dream is to marry a girl whom they love and wanted to live with for the rest of their life but it’s not what he got today. He left the girl he wanted to share his happiness with and will be married to her best friend.
He is now in the aisle waiting for Eloisa, his bride. You can’t dictate one’s heart where to beat and you can’t force to marry someone because it was a sacred ceremony but in Kent and Eloisa’s case, it’s not about love, they were forced to marry each other because of money, inheritance, and business.
“Congratulations to the newlywed couple!”, everyone is cheering on them while throwing petals of roses on them.
Eloisa was overwhelmed by their warm greetings while Kent set a wide smile behind his sad face.
Kent can’t believe what’s going on.
” Eloisa, did your dad talk to the investors to take back their shares? Tell me!”, he can’t just sit there and act as nothing happened.
After their commotion a while ago, Greta and Gale decided to go home because the two brothers were fighting over false accusations.
Eloisa cupped her head because of a headache.
“What? Why my dad do that? He helped you and your dad with your business so why you take all the blame on him? Because he had a huge share?”, Austin was now asleep and the couple is arguing inside their room.
Kent glared at her. He can’t believe that his wife will talk to him like that.
” Okay, thanks to your father, we managed to get away from bankruptcy but did you ever know what your father is doing when he’s attending business overseas? I heard a rumor about it. Don’t dare me!”, he warned his wife.
Eloisa chuckled.
“Go, tell the police. Your father was also one of them so don’t you ever tell me how dad ruled our business! I married you out of pity Kent!,” She said.
After hearing it, he felt like his ego had been stomped.
He stormed towards Eloisa and slapped her on her face.
She cupped it and fiercely gaze at him.
“How dare you hit me? I won’t let this slide!”, she said and she took her bag to go.
Kent just got mad and he didn’t mean to beat her.
” I’m sorry. I just —“, Kent stop when Eloisa ignored him wiping her face with tears.
He just sat on the bed and decided to call his father Alexander.
“Dad, did you heard the news? It’s over! Our business will go bankrupt!”, he told his father.
Alexander just listened and took a deep breath. He knows why Sherlock did it. He will talk to him again about the abrupt decision of him. He has no idea what he did wrong to make him angry.
” I will handle it, don’t worry!”, he said with his calm voice.
“Really? Well, I think Gale was behind this! His firm is rising. Maybe you better talk to him!”, Kent said to his father.
