" Travis's hand clenched tight around his phone , knuckles standing out and veins throbbing beneath his skin . Once , twice , three times ... It was always the same mechanical recording . His handsome face was set in stone , ice cold with disbelief and frustration . She had actually blocked him . Dennis sidled up next to him , catching a glimpse of his darkening expression and repeated dialing . He smirked , his tone light and edged with mean amusement . " Let it go , man . She blocked you , so what ? You were planning to break up with her anyway . Now you don't even have to do it yourself . " The words jabbed straight into Travis's chest like a knife . A rush of irritation , the kind he couldn't control , suddenly flared up inside him , nearly snapping his self - control . He couldn't stand being shut out like this , especially by someone who had always been so compliant , so devoted - Luna ! " Shut up ! " he snapped , his voice glacial . Dennis paused , surprised by the rare flash of real anger , then shrugged , falling silent . But a curious , knowing glint lingered in his eyes . Travis slammed his phone onto the desk with a dull , heavy thud . Taking a deep breath to steady himself , he reached for the landline and dialed his assistant . " Find out where Luna is , right now . I want an answer in five minutes , " he ordered , his tone flat but brooking no argument . The wait felt endless . The pressure in the study grew heavier by the minute .

" Mr. Lockwood , I've found her . Ms. Bennett withdrew from school this morning and took the 9 a.m. flight to London . " " Withdrew ? Left the country ? " Travis's brows furrowed into a scowl . " Who gave her permission to leave ? " How could she just drop out of school and move abroad out of nowhere ? The only explanation was ... she knew . She knew everything . That realization sent a surge of panic and anger coursing through him . " Get her London address and her school , now ! " His grip on the phone turned his knuckles white . The assistant hurried off to obey . Dennis whistled when he heard the news , grinning wider . " She ran fast . Too bad , I didn't get enough time with her ... That body , that feel ... " " Dennis ! " Travis cut him off sharply , his gaze cold and dangerous . " Didn't you hear me ? Shut your mouth . " Dennis hesitated , taken aback by the rare loss of control , but finally backed off , still smiling faintly to himself . Travis loosened his collar , feeling that nameless fire burning hotter inside . How dare she ? How could she just disappear like that ? Dennis watched his brother's unsettled expression with growing fascination . He edged closer , bumping Travis with his shoulder , teasing , " Bro , why are you so worked up ?

You're and Chloe are a perfect couple now . Everyone's jealous . Why do you care what I do ? Luna's just a cast - off . Why can't I have a little fun with her ? " Travis had no words . That's right . He was with Chloe now . Luna had always just been a pawn , a tool he could toss aside when the game was over . So why did it bother him so much ? Why was he so determined to stop Dennis ? He had no answer . All he could do was repeat , " I said no . Stay away from her . " Dennis only grinned wider . The more his brother pushed , the more determined he became . " Fine , whatever you say . I'll handle my own business . Princeton's boring anyway , I'll just transfer to her school in London . Might even have a little foreign adventure with an old flame , who knows ?
