Two days later, Jade's commencement ceremony was finally held. She's studying in Trine Elite University in City A and many people came to witness this event. Parents brought flowers for their children and Travis was no exception. He bought a huge bouquet for Jade and had Jillyanna carry it since he was carrying their son.
"When is she coming up?" Cayenne asked Riley who was also watching the event.
"Her class should be next according to the program." Riley responded with her camera ready. She was planning to take lots of pictures in this moment for Jade to see later.
Jade was wearing a white dress with a red rose belt tied around her waist. She looked so delicate and her smiles brightens everyone who looks at her. She's the smallest person among her class but she's the one receiving the highest awards, which made it obvious how intelligent she was.
"Now, let's have the Teacher May, the head teacher from Grade 5 to announce the honor students of the year." The emcee stated and handed the microphone to the school teacher.
"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. To the parents, students…Let's start with the top ten." Teacher May announced the ranking of the students from the tenth place upwards. "As for the first honor, may I welcome the school principal to present the award together with the superintendent of the Education Department. This student is also Best in English, Best in Mathematics, Best in…" Teacher May read the other awards that will be presented before calling out the student's name. "First Honor of Grade 5 is Jade Venus Madrid-Madrigal."
The school auditorium was full of thunderous claps when they heard Jade's name. It's not because she's famous or something but because, she's one of the students who brought glory to the school at the very young age. She joined a lot of academic contest during this one year of study and she always brings home the bacon. She never lost to anything.
For the first time, Travis asked someone to hold her son. He gave Raizel to Stefan while walking down the aisle to come up on stage and put on the medals that his daughter got. Jillyanna gave her daughter the bouquet of flowers and one after another, they shook hands with the people on stage who presented the awards.
Riley took pictures of them and she uploaded some of the pictures on her social media account while keeping the rest in her phone. The day was divided into two ceremony. In the morning, it was for the primary school student and in the afternoon, it was for the high school students.
The college department have different schedules for their graduation.
After the ceremony, Travis took his son back from Stefan and they all went to the resort where they booked to have the celebration. Jade was happily counting her medals as she put them inside her little bag. She didn't want to lose them because she still wanted to show them to the rest of her family.
Jade received so many gifts from everyone and all of them were useful to her. They knew that she likes arts so most of them gifted her lots of coloring materials or art materials. There were books about science that she likes so much and some other things. Cayenne gave her the bag that she bought which widened Jade's eyes.
"Auntie Yen, thank you so much for this bag. I have another bag to use now." Jade hugged her and kissed Cayenne's cheek. "Thank you as well, Uncle Stefan."
Stefan just rubbed Jade's head while Cayenne hugged the little girl. Most of the presents were all expensive but the thing that stand out the most was the computer sets that her biological father, Damien, gifted her. Damien left the city and was just roaming around but whenever there's an important event in her daughter's life, Travis would always let him know. Just like her awarding ceremony. Damien may not be around every day but he would still make time for her when needed.
The whole resort was booked by Travis thus; they have access to all facilities and they can do whatever they wanted. Jade was happily showing her awards to everyone and took pictures with them. There were different kinds of food they can eat, different kinds of wines, different entertainment activities and soon. It was a day to be happy and relax.
Cayenne drank a little bit of wine but since she's a lightweight, she was easily drunk. She went to the beach to get some fresh air and clear her mind a little. The sound of the dance music can still be heard but the sound of the waves crashing to the shore was still a lot better for her.
She sat on the sand without any care of the world and looked at the people swimming from a distance. Cayenne was just about to start reminiscing her past when she was hit at the back of her head.
It was so sudden and she didn't even hear any footsteps behind her. The impact of the material that was used to hit her was really painful as well. She's seeing starts circling above her head before she passed out and lost her consciousness.
Arthur was about to carry Cayenne away from the place when several men emerged out of nowhere. "Where do you think you're bringing our madam?" one of the men asked while taking a step towards Arthur.
"I'm taking her back to her room. I already told Stefan."
"That's clearly a lie. Why don't you give her back to us before blood gets spilled? And by the way, we saw you hitting her with that two by two wood."
Since he was left with no choice, Arthur pulled out his gun and aimed it at Cayenne. "It's either you let me take her away or I will kill her. I'd rather not let anyone have her if it's not me."
They all looked towards Arthur and knew that he wasn't joking. His obsessive love would really make him kill Cayenne due to his selfishness. He was really planning to kill her if he can't have her.
