Beauty's POV . I was powerless to resist. Drew's eyes beamed with a challenge. My heart jolted, and a quiver surged through my veins. What is this? Is he giving me a test or tempting me with a kiss I can't resist? I swallowed tightly as he dropped his head to where our knees touched. He gripped the chair's ends and pulled it closer, fitting my knees in between his. "That's cute," he smirked, looking at me intently with a cheeky smile. My brows slightly crossed. I lifted my chin, daring him to look at me even more. "Drew Mondragon," I muttered under my breath. He never smiled, and his eyes were still glued to mine. "Be tough, Beauty. This is the reality of your dreams. They will offer you something in exchange for sex. Some are vulgar as they want to taste you badly. You've got the body, the beauty, plus your name is Beauty." Drew's jaw tightened, and his eyes turned down, staring at my legs. "And I won't let that happen, Beauty. I will never allow anyone to touch you, darling,
Beauty’s POV . I bang my head on the table because of my stupidity. Why do I get lost and forget myself whenever I am with him? This didn’t happen with Jasper because I always had my boundaries every time Jasper kissed me. But when it comes to Drew, I forgot everything! I looked at his office. The door is shut. I can’t wait to finish the workload on my table and get off from work. I don’t want to see him again. If it’s only possible, then I prefer to be invisible in front of him. I sat down and held the papers in my hand, but Drew’s kisses clouded my mind. Oh my goodness! I need to take a break. I stood up, grabbed my sling bag, and was about to leave the office when I saw Bobita running towards me. The smile on his face was like he had won something. “Beauty, dear!” he exclaimed, gaining attention from the people around the hallway. “Psst, quite. My boss is inside.” I gestured, placing my pointy finger on my lips. “Oh, sorry.” Bobita’s eyes beamed as he looked at Drew’s off
Beauty's POV.I sat down and started working. The good thing about this office is that it has a mini-shower, and employees can use it overnight. Drew's office is better because it has a small room that only he can enter using his finger sensor, and it has all the amenities he needs, like a home.I finished after two hours. And a knock on the door made me stand to check it. It was the food delivery. The company provides everything needed for overnight work. Two meals were delivered, one for me and one for Drew.I composed myself and took a deep breath before knocking at his office door."Food is ready, Sir," I smiled as I looked at him.The messy papers were all over his table. I entered and gently put the food pack on the side where the small table was located.I heard his swivel chair whirled in my direction, and he stood up and strode slowly towards me."Hmm, what do we have here?" He stood beside me, looking at the food I prepared.Drew is just an inch behind me. His body cornered
Beauty's POV . Everything has been busy for me, but I only managed to practice once. Bobita informed me that we only need to do this once more during the final trial. Drew scolded me multiple times, but I sense he's becoming more lenient toward me. I know my mistakes. I'm not good when it comes to this job. There's no way I will become like my sister. A lot of people questioned that. Are we really siblings? Yes, physically, you can see the similarity. But when it comes to our brain, I will leave it all to my sister. She's way better than me. Drew Mondragon is on a business trip on the other side for four days. I thought this was good, but here I am, staring at his little picture frame and the cactus beside it, feeling down. I miss him. . . I can't forget the overnight. Drew showed a different side of himself, and I liked it. Not to mention that he kept sending flowers to my house for no reason at all. There's not even a note on top of them. I don't know if he was doing that be
'Your beauty begins when you decide what you want to be yourself.' . Beauty's POV . I felt like my heart would pop out soon. The crowds noise outside dominated while we were all waiting for the show to start. There are many people today, and the whole studio is full. All the models were busy with their dresses and makeup. The dome has reporters and media coverage, and a live telecast will be aired soon. I inhaled deeply and looked at myself in the mirror. I haven't put on my gown yet. I am still wearing my skinny jeans and a white off-shoulder top. My makeup was done by one of the famous makeup artists. Bobita was busy, and I could only smile at him. He juggles around, giving instructions, organizing the gowns, and checking everyone on his team. And after two hours, the show started. I still have an hour to wait for my turn. I was amazed at the performance of the exclusive models of Monde Fashion on stage together with their mentor at the end. They cater to the new products th
I may not be your first date, kiss, or love, but I want to be your last in everything.Beauty's POV."Beauty Acuesta is next," the director on stage reminded Bobita, and Bobita gave his approval and signaled back at me. I smiled, feeling tense before Bobita went off stage.Irene Celeste looked at me for the final time, surveying my whole without eye contact. She's too focused on her job, and I'm too nervous about this. It's not like it's my first time because it's not. But this is my first time performing in front of a large crowd."Go, Beauty. You're the face of Monde Fashion. Show them that you got what it takes to be the next supermodel. Show them that Drew Mondragon was right to have chosen you." Irene simply smiled at me.My heart started to race. I nodded, giving her my genuine smile.Slowly, I hold my posture while waiting in the backstage. From here, I could see the few VIPs straight to where I stand.Most of the models behind and beside me in the distance are all looking at
'That person who enters your life out of nowhere and suddenly he means the world to you.'.Beauty's POV."Who was that?""My God, you saw them kissing, right? That girl. Ugh!""Shush, girls, be quiet. Don't be harsh on the girl. Can't you see she's new? It's my first time seeing her. Yes, she's a head-turner. She's got the beauty and the body.""Oh well, for Drew Mondragon? I will give him my body and everything. With his money and fame. I consider myself the luckiest girl around the globe.""Even though that was embarrassing.""I've heard that woman is Drew's secretary.""Seriously? No, she's not! Drew's secretary is Amalia, and she's married!""No. Not Amalia. It's her substitute, and I believe it's her sister.""OMG! What the - seriously?""Tsk, that girl's ambition is too high.""Chill, girls. Drew Mondragon was only using her as one of his pastimes. I know him. He will never settle for a low-key woman. Drew just wants to fuck her. That's all. I felt sorry for the girl."I shut
He's this person who enters my life out of nowhere, and suddenly, he means the world to me.Beauty's POV.I didn't go to the ladies' room because I wanted to head home. I had enough tonight. Everything happens too fast, and people's judgment hurts me. I understand their accusations, but I choose to ignore them.What is vital for me is Drew. As long as he is with me, I will never let go. But meeting his father tonight scared the hell out of me.We are simply not meant to be.I went out without saying goodbye to Bobita and Ceilo.My phone vibrated. It was Drew. I ignored it and kept walking. I don't want to talk to him now. He will only stop me, and I know myself when it comes to him. I can't say no because my heart is stupid enough for this.With just one glance from him, I know I belong in his arms, where my body and mind can't resist him."Beauty!"I paused and spun halfway to see who was calling me. It was Jasper.My temper flared up the moment I saw him. I felt like killing him. B
