The Badboy Billionaire's Son

Chapter 2: A new Him

"It's sad when we realize that we are not as important to someone as we thought we were."

-RYLIE DEVYN POV-

Here I am today at RRJ UNIVERSITY awaiting the arrival of my professor. This university is for wealthy families only and I am not that rich to afford the tuition here. So, I applied for a scholarship. Because I was smart, I passed the exam with a perfect score. I'm not arrogant, I'm just telling the truth. Hahaha

The president of this school met with me to greet me personally. Isn’t it, I’m so precious? Maybe, I am the happiest creature on earth. Even though I'm new here, I feel like I've been here for a long time because I didn't think I was that important and the owner of this school even met me. Honestly, I was very lucky this year.

I am taking BSIT (BS in Information Technology), the first-year college. Fortunately, all of my subjects in the first semester were all credited. And I am now, a regular student. Isn't it amazing?

Unfortunately, I have no friends here, so I am alone.

Meanwhile, my professor introduced me to the class.

"Good morning class, we have a new transfer student here. Ms. Rylie Devyn Scotley from Australia. Please welcome her," my beautiful professor introduced me nicely.

"Hi classmates, I am Rylie and you can call me Ryle or Devz for short. I hope you are all kind to me. And let's all be friends. Thank you!" I smiled at them genuinely.

" No problem mate!" one of my handsome classmates commented.

" Thank you," I replied with a smile.

"Ms. Scotley, why did you take the BSIT course?" my professor asked.

"I took the BSIT course to achieve my dream of making my mobile game application and of course to learn how to format my wounded heart. Hehehe! Just kidding," then I smiled but they were all laughing.

"You're so funny, Mate!" my classmate reacted. So I just smiled at them.

"Okay! Ms. Scotley, find your comfortable seat," my professor's ordered me.

"Okay, ma'am! Thank you!" I answered and smiled at her.

As I was looking for a vacant seat, I saw someone sleeping in his seat, and luckily the right seat was vacant. So, I pulled up the chair and sat down. And they were all shock including my professor at what I did.

"Why?" I innocently asked them. If you see their faces, it’s like they watched a scary movie.

And the guy woke up and looked at me fiercely. His face turns to fire. I was not afraid of him but my treacherous heart was beating faster. I didn't hear what they said, all I heard was my mind calling his name ...

" Ryke? " I confusedly asked him with excitement on my face.

" How did you know my name? I heard you came from Australia. So, why do you already know me? I guess you're one of my stalkers? Right? Ha-ha," he said with a devil laugh. He's too arrogant now and feeling handsome, but yeah! He's handsome, I wouldn't argue with that.

" Wow, sorry mister! I thought you're one of my classmates before who are madly in love with me!" I replied and winked at him.

"Really? In your dreams! And who told you, Miss Devyn! To sit next to me?" he whispered and that voice made me feel inexplicable. I blushed and felt the heat spread all over my face but I was still able to answer him.

"But why? It's vacant, isn't it?" I innocently asked him and stared at him. I missed staring into his eyes.

" No, It's taken. My girlfriend is sitting here," he answered coldly.

" Okay! Sorry! Mr. Feeler!" I answered briefly. Suddenly I was stunned. My brain can't process it right away.

I don’t know but my whole system shut down for hearing that he was taken already. I can't accept the truth, that I'm the only one dreaming that one day we'll be together again.

Since I wasn’t in the mood, I went out, and I said goodbye to our professor.

"Ma'am, excuse me. My stomach hurts," I said and I immediately left our room.

While walking, I came to the garden, filled with beautiful flowers and you can see the beautiful waterfalls in the middle. I love nature, So, my sad heart is full of happiness now. I wonder who owns this school, he must be a billionaire. While looking at the beautiful scenery, I saw Ryker coming and looking for me. Because I’m here in the tree, he can’t find me easily.

"Why did you come out? Is that what you learned in Australia, No manners?" he asked me coldly. So I turned around and saw him, the handsome man I had loved for many years. Put his hand in his pants pocket and angrily looked at me.

" Why do you care? Please go! You can't help me!" I said with a husky voice.

" Don't be so childish Devyn, we are old enough to handle things. Forget the past and move on. Why are you keep on rewinding the past? Wherein fact, we live in the present to prepare for the future!" he said in a serious way that makes him a more attractive bad boy.

"What if, I lied to you before? Can you forgive me?" I asked him and my traitor's tears fell.

" As what I've said, Forget the past and move on. I have forgiven you, and besides, I do not love you anymore! I have fulfilled your wish. So please, focus on your own life and ambition. And forget me forever. And please act like you don't know me. Let's be happy with what we have now. Life must go on!" He said coldly and walked away. As he says these words. My tears flowed slowly. The pain is too much.

"I do not love you anymore!" this line blew my head off. He no longer loves me, so why should I chase him? He’s not the only man in the world, but he’s the rare person I’ve ever met. So I called him very loudly so that he would understand that I still love him.

"Ryke! I am sorry!" I called him and he stopped for a moment. I still expected him to hug me but I was wrong.

"You are already forgiven! So, why is it so hard for you to understand? Wake up, Devyn! I'm not the old Ryker, you used to know. So please, stop this nonsense. I'm happy now with my life then you must be happy too. Forget your past with me and move on. That way, you can live your life happier!" then he continued to walk away. I didn’t know what to do, I felt like I had no hope.

"I was jealous of Ryker because he was happy even without me. How about me? He is my only happiness. Can I forget him? How?" I asked myself while crying.

I never thought this would be what I would get when I returned. I didn’t expect Ryker to suddenly change. He is no longer the former Ryker I knew. The Ryker who loved me without recompense.

So I posted on my i********: account with a caption:

"Will I give up or will I fight?"

Then the picture I used was my handkerchief wet with tears.

Although we are not friends on i********:, I just want to express my resentment. I’m happy to read the comments of my followers.

On the other hand, He's right! Why should I continue to think and love someone, who even no longer cares about me? Because I am heartbroken now, I called my best friend. I wanted to be happy and forget all my heartaches for a while.
