Chapter 6
—Trixy's POV—
Thanks again, Gwen, Dad said as he rose out of his seat.
Don't stress. I'll get Mr. Valdoza and his parents. Then she turned to me with a soft smile. "Also Trixy, remember what I said, ok?
I got up and went out after Dad when he left the office.
Phone ringing
I reached into my bag and I see the phone.
It was Mom calling.
"Mom's calling," I said aloud.
"Answer it," Dad replied.
I quickly answered.
"Hi, Mom," I said softly.
Hi my love how are you? she asked with worry in her voice.
I am fine. I am with Dad at the moment.
Fine to have that. What of you two?
"Austen University."
What's your father there? Wait—don't tell me.
I said to my mother.

Flashback
Gwen asked what in the world that was of which she had no clue as she looked to Dad.
"Open it," he replied seriously.
She put aside the brown envelope and removed what was in it.
There were photos inside.
What did this mean? she asked in shock.
That's Jonas Valdoza at a bar -- drinking with his friends, surrounded by girls. Also he is into drug use and distribution right here in the university. Gwen you told me that he was the star of the basketball team?
What. What is there to see at that site?
Jonas. Is a part of drugs?
Gwen asked in amazement at how you did that?
I had a private detective out. I was trying to see how the other man in my daughter's life was living. I just want what is best for her a good, stable man not that man.
"Dad..."
He turned to me.
I am sorry Princess but I could not trust him. Also after all that which he did to you. I had to know.
Okay, I see the problem of what is to come -- I'll see to it that Mr. Valdoza is held to account.
Lyka which is what I called out for my secretary that which immediately came into the room. .
"What is it, Madam President?"
Call up Mr. Jonas Valdoza. In my office. Right away.
Madam President at that which Lyka did is she went to her desk.
She took a seat, put on the headset, and made the announcement:.
Calling to Mr. Jonas Valdoza from 1st Year Business Management 1. Go to the President's Office. Also Mr. Jonas Valdoza from 1st Year Business Management report to the President's Office at once.
Her sound traveled through out the campus into the class rooms, the cafeterias, the gym. All of the buildings were hooked into the main audio system.
Hours passed…
Still no sign of Jonas.
Is that boy so out of line? Dad muttered angrily.
"Lyka," Gwen called again.
"Yes, Madam President?"
Go to his class. Find him and bring him here in person.
"Noted," she said before walking out.
We waited.
Eventually, Lyka returned—alone.
"Where is Mr. Valdoza?" Gwen asked.
He didn't make it to class. The professor reported that he is out today. Also I went around the campus and spoke to some of his friends, but no one had seen him.
He didn't come to school...?

Your mom says that your dad is only looking out for you, "He doesn\'t want to see you get hurt.
"I know, Mom. I understand."
Dad has always that protective instinct for which I and my two younger siblings are the beneficiaries.
Alright, I will be leaving now. I called just to see how you were.
Ok, Mom, I replied and ended the call.
While in the elevator I found my thoughts going back to what Gwen told me earlier.

Flashback
Gwen took my hands.
I have gone through the same thing. I was hurt and in turn I sought revenge which I did for a very long time. It is a regret of mine. In the end it was I who came out worse. Pay attention to my words it is natural to feel pain. That pain will be the lesson you need to learn. But do not seek revenge. Leave that to life which will sort out the people that have wronged you.

Ting. Sure, please provide the text you would like me to paraphrase.
The elevator car came to a stop and the door opened to the parking lot.
We walked outside.
Dad said he's out the door now. I'll have the driver come to get you later.
Suddenly, I hugged him tightly.
I whispered thanks before letting go.
He smiled and kissed my forehead.
"Take care, Princess."
I nodded.
He got in the car and left.
"Trixy!"
"Trixy!!"
I looked up at the sound of someone calling out to me.
Scarlett and in the company of her two constant companions she came at me.
What do they want now?
They stopped in front of me.
"Where's Jonas?" Scarlett demanded.
Do I have a missing person's policy? I responded calmly.
She suddenly grabbed my arm tightly.
I know that you know my boyfriend is at. Tell me -- where is Jonas?!
"I don't know."
"Liar!"
Beep! Beep!
A red car pulled up in front of us. Also I let go of your arm as soon as the door opened. Luna got out and came to me right away.
What do you see that you're doing to Trixy?" she asked Scarlett, her voice sure and fearless.
I ask her if I can know which of my boyfriend's whereabouts.
Then perhaps you should tie up your partner to see that they stick around.
Scarlett's face twisted in irritation.
If I find out that you were behind him not being here that's going to end very badly for you.
Are have you forgotten which party you're threatening? Luna replied sharply.
Scarlett said to go and she turned on her heel with her followers right behind.
Luna put it to me gently.
I nodded.
In me repeated the same question.
Why didn't Jonas show up today?
Where is that guy. what is he up to?
