FINDING TRUE LOVE(Beyond Beauty)
“When you’re done shedding your tears, don’t forget to close the door behind you.” Those cold disdainful words shattered Starr’s world.
Fleeing the scene of her lover’s betrayal, she is left ruined and wrecked by the man she once trusted, who now lies in bed with another woman, indifferent to the pain he has caused.
Starr had poured her heart and all into building a life with Charles, only to discover that her love and sacrifices were used to build a life that she was never included in. Betrayed and broken, she learns that Charles only saw her as a way out of poverty and a means to support his true love and their unborn child.
Determined to reclaim her life and shut out the pain, Starr seizes an opportunity to start over in France, taking a job offer from her boss that promises a fresh beginning. But as she navigates this new chapter, the wounds of her past linger. Can Starr truly move on and find the love she deserves, or will the scars of betrayal keep her heart closed forever?

Chapter: CHAPTER 28 chapter 28✍️I didn’t want to tell her I couldn’t, because this is the same guy I kissed few weeks back and ever since then I had been avoiding him, not taking his calls. And I haven’t been able to get my mind off him.But I had to give her an answer. I nodded my head positively, “Okay, I will if I have the opportunity cause we aren’t full friends, you know that right?” I asked her, but she simply just shook her head and pleaded with me with her eyes.I stopped trying to push it out and responded nodding my head in approval.

Chapter: MIXED FEELINGS CHAPTER 27✍️I quickly ran out of his house. The gatekeeper was staring at me. I was sure he was wondering why I had run out like that.I went out of the gate and entered my car. My heart kept on racing. What did I just do? I questioned myself.I shouldn’t have done that. I shouldn’t have kissed him back! I said as I banged my hands on my wheels. Shit!Now he’d think I have fallen for him or something. I murmured to myself and my subconscious mind replied me. “Yes, you’ve fallen for him.” But I replied, shaking my head negatively.I couldn’t imagine doing that, falling in love. I sat there for about 30minutes, reminiscing about the kiss and I wouldn’t deny that it made me feel alive. I felt like a woman again after 2years and some months. And I wouldn’t deny that he made me fucking wet.Snapping out of my review, I started my car and drove home.I got home and opened the door. Ella was in the sitting room, watching a movie. I just moved past her and went up

Chapter: LYING TO MYSELF Chapter 26✍️ Shit! What explanation would I give to him? I thought to myself. I moved closer to him to hold his hands, and he let me. He just stood there staring at me, probably searching for answers in my eyes. “Kay,” I began as I called out his name, but he was just too quiet, so I continued. “I can explain,” I added. “Exactly, and I’m waiting for it,” he said softly, like someone who wasn’t upset, but I knew he was. I knew it was time to come out plain, but I still contemplated in me if I should say the truth, will he forgive me? “I followed Lizzy to see someone, her boyfriend.” I said, and he responded almost immediately. “So her boyfriend gave you a hickey?” He said, his face straight and rigid. “What? No, no Kay, it wasn’t him.” I replied, stuttering. He raised an eyebrow and said, “Then who did?” He asked, but before I’d reply, he added. “Wait, Starr, please don’t tell me it’s that same guy.” He said, squinting his eyes, and I stopped talking as I stood loo

Chapter: CHAPTER 25 chapter 25✍️“Do you think he can make you orgasm like I would do without no stress? Do you think he can fuck you like I would?” Immediately that rolled out of his mouth, I swallowed my spit before it’d choke me, but he continued.He brought his lips close to my ears as he spoke directly into it, my legs wiggled but I didn’t want to show it, “Oh, beautiful, you don’t want to imagine what I can do to you.He kissed the nape of my neck gently and this time I moved my hands to his arm to stop him, but he wouldn’t bulge. Next, he sucked deeply in my neck, I didn’t want what he was doing , but I couldn’t deny that I liked it. I did all I could to suppress the moan that was choking my throat.He kissed it one more time, and spoke, “But I can imagine my fingers working down there, and you screaming out my name.” Oh, god! I didn’t want to hear anymore so I tried shoving his hands that were on my waist so I could step out from his broad chest cage and successfully I did.He

I watched Seven come closer, he looked surprised as he stared at me before he came close and greeted Gab with a handshake.He also greeted Lizzy and came closer to me like he wanted to greet me, but as I opened my mouth to say something but he passed me without sparing me a glance.I felt a huge blow hit me. I leaned back and rested my whole body on the arm of his couch. Lizzy looked at me with pity and gab chuckled.I wanted to leave, but I didn’t want coming here to be in fruitless, I had to stay and talk to him.Few minutes later, he came downstairs with a short and loosed black T-shirt.

Chapter: MORE THAN A TRIANGLE CHAPTER 23✍️No, no, I murmured and ran out of my room…….I ran as fast as my legs could carry me to Ella’s room, as I still prayed inwardly that the dress she wore should not be mine.I got to the front of her room door and pushed it open. I didn’t bother to knock.She was walking out of her bathroom when I got into her room. She didn’t look surprised. it was more like she was expecting me.She smiled, and I irked my eyebrows at her and asked her the question I came here to ask her. “Did you take my dress?” But she acted oblivious to the whole thing. She turned to face me directly and smirked before she answered.“What dress?” She asked, squinting her eyes, and that got me even more angry.“Don’t play smart with me and answer the fucking question. Did you take my black dress?” I asked again, but this time my voice was laced with anger.“Oh, that dress I wore to the dinner with Seven? The one you saw me on yesterday? It’s where it’s supposed to be, in the thrash c
