Beauty's POV . "Welcome back, Mrs. Beauty Mondragon!" Bobita exclaimed loud enough for the others to hear. "What the heck, you!" I grabbed his wrist and pulled him with me straight to my office. I shut the door the moment we both stepped inside. "What the heck is wrong with you?" with both hands resting on my hips, my face flustered. He wickedly looked at me from head to toe and whirled around, heading towards my table. He sat on my chair, and his eyebrows raised. The expression on his face definitely tells me one thing. He told everything to my sister! "How's the honeymoon?" his expression softened, and he looked at me suspiciously. "What honeymoon? W-Who told you that it was a honeymoon? It was work, okay!" I stammered. I avoided his gaze and walked towards the other table, where more papers were waiting for me to review. "Come on, Beauty, tell me your story." He is now following me like a puppy. "Oh, come on, Bobita! I told you it's a secret, okay? But why did you tell my
Beauty's POV . "You haven't told Drew Mondragon yet, Beauty?" Atticus asked. I'm here at his modeling shop center. He explained to me what to do once we head to Japan. I also signed some paperwork for his company. I am now an exclusive model of Monde Fashion. It was actually the main branch head in Japan that invited me. They saw my modeling performance during the Monde Corporation event, and they liked me. I've heard that the company holds the top supermodels in Asia and the world. "Not yet, but I will." "Drew knows you're coming here for the training, but I haven't told him about Japan. He asked me to look after you. So I'll be holding you as one of my talents." Atticus explained the matter seriously, and I nodded in agreement. "The fashion will take place in three weeks in Japan. A few models will accompany you, dressed in creations by Asia's top designers. So keep up the good work, Beauty. I know you can do it." We finalized everything, and it was all sorted. My sister, Am
Beauty's POV."Beauty! Boo! Boo, talk to me! I won't go away until you talk to me!"My eyes widened when I heard a familiar voice. . . It was Jasper.My sister and I headed to the front door to check what was happening outside. When my sister opened the door, we saw Jasper. The security guards held his arm on each side while he was yelling and disputing."What the — are you insane!?" Annoyed at the situation, the neighbors are now getting curious. Many of them are outside like they're watching a drama."I thought you two split up? Why is he acting like that?" my sister asked me."I don't know, sis. Jasper is a pain in the ass." I mumbled.My sister and I step out. Our neighbors are gossiping, watching, and filming us at the moment."Hey, Jasper! What the heck is wrong with you? You're already setting up a scene in the early morning. When are you going to stop doing this? We're done! It has been over three months since then. Do you have a mind of your own? And if you do, please go awa
Beauty's POV . "Damn, what the heck? Fudge," Drew swore silently. He put his pointy finger in his mouth and shook his head. I laughed along with the kids while he made the fire. He did well but burned his finger. We are here now in my mother's place, in the countryside, at the back of the house, in the dirty kitchen, cooking chicken soup. Drew wants to join us because he wants to meet my mother. My mother was shocked when she saw me with someone. Joey and my sister Amalia were with us. Drew uses his big van so that we can fit all our stuff. It was all good. My mother was quite observant and didn't ask me much, but Drew introduced himself as my fiance. Mom seems okay about it, but I'm sure she will probably ask me many questions later. "Beauty, your husband is very handsome," Mikai said. She is only ten years old. The rest of the kids adoringly looked at Drew. They're all amazed at him. Drew just kept smiling, concentrating on adding more firewood. "Really? Uhm, he is not yet m
Drew's POV . "Make sure that he will rot in hell, Glenn. Cut all his benefits. I want to see the bastard crawl until he begs me to kill him." I swore under my breath while talking to Glenn in the line. I had had enough of Jasper and wanted him to disappear from Beauty's life. Aside from being a drug addict user, Jasper was also held accountable for some funds that had secretly vanished during the past five years as a senior editor at BCF. BCF CEO is a mate of mine, Alexis Chengkuo. He is busy enough, touring the world, going back and forth for the business. After learning about Jasper's whereabouts, I had the opportunity to dig deeper into his wits. "Point taken and yes, well executed," Glenn responded in the line. "Geez, the price of loving someone drives you insane, right? It seems like you want Jasper to eliminate, un-existed?" Glenn laughed. My jaw tightened. Eliminate? I just want him to die. "Just do your job, Glenn. I have to go now. Beauty is here." I smiled at the lov
Beauty's POV.I kept staring at my phone back and forth for three hours. I’ve been waiting for Drew to call me.He arrived early today, but he went straight to work. Today is the board member’s meeting, and I understand how busy he is. My sister already told me about his day.Drew called me after the rehearsal and told me he couldn’t visit tonight, but he made sure to call me before bedtime. But what time is it now? I’ve been waiting for his call, and still, nothing!“Aren’t you going to sleep, Beauty?” My sister, Amalia, asked me.I did not respond. Although I heard her loud and clear, I had no desire to respond. I can’t help myself, and I can’t focus as I’ve been thinking about Drew. On the other hand, Beatrice Mercedes was also doing my head in.“Why are you staring at your phone like that? Are you waiting for someone to call you? Hey, Beauty!” She lightly hit my head, making me turn to see her. I can’t concentrate because Drew and Beatrice Mercedes are on my mind.I pouted. “How
Beauty's POV.I gasped softly as I realized what this would lead to. His unstoppable kisses are taking full advantage, and he's making sure that I can't say no."Oh, Drew, baby," I softly whispered between our kisses.I forgot everything, and here I am in bed with him. I should have said no, but I miss him so much, and talking to him overnight wasn't enough. I want to be with him tonight. So, I decided to go with him.I've messaged my sister when we left, and she didn't respond. She was probably asleep.Drew is holding me tightly, embarking on hot and lustful kisses around me. It gives me so much pleasure and need.I moaned as he touched me, and my toes curled as we kissed. My body was hungry for more, and as Drew's hands explored my curve, I couldn't stop arching my body in response to my need."Oh, Beauty, darling... So beautiful," he whispered in between kisses.My head jerked up when I felt his mouth against my neck. The heat sparkled fast, igniting my whole, sending fireworks to
I am jealous of everybody who is with you when I'm not with you..Beauty's POV.Everyone was ready, and we waited in the immigration area until it was time to enter the boarding waiting area. There were ten of us, including Mamita.It's a fantastic experience to be among the top models of Monde Fashion. I was graciously invited by the head of fashion to join the ranks in Asia.Drew is out of town. He was busy again with the businesses. I tried calling him earlier, but there was no answer, so I called my mother and sister before the plane took off. I just left a message for Drew, and off we go. I am uncertain if he will attend the event, as he responded at the last minute, stating he would try his best to be there for me.THE CHILLY wind greeted us when we landed at Tokyo's International Airport. It's the first month of autumn here, and the beautiful colors of the leaves of the trees around the area made the environment more attractive.It only happens a little that an event will be
Special Chapter "One, two, three, pose. Good job, Beauty! One more round." I watch her quietly while drinking my coffee. She smiles in my direction, and my heart melts how beautiful my lovely wife is. . .my Beauty. I'm attempting to concentrate on the reports Amalia handed me this morning, but I found my gaze returning to my wife. She's seven months pregnant now, and she still looks very sexy to me. I was considering terminating her contract with Atticus at Monde Fashion because she's pregnant and gets tired quickly, but Atticus refused to let her go, so I let her do what she likes. A lot of companies want Beauty as their endorsement, especially now that she's pregnant. Our wedding was simple, and it happened privately. It was solemn as we celebrated it with our families. Beauty wanted it that way, and I was happy as long as she was. We even went to Italy and Paris together for our honeymoon and stayed two months over there. From there, she experienced a life living outside the
The Interview . "Relax, everything will be fine," I said, brushing my thumb on her lips. She looked nervous, and I could sense it. "I'm worried," she sighed. "Is my dress okay?" I slightly chuckled and sweetly nodded. "You are beautiful, Beauty. Perfect as it can be." I looked at her from head to toe while biting my lower lip. I am a proud husband-to-be, and like Beauty, I have many insecurities. I'm insecure because I don't know if I am enough for her. I don't know if I'm doing the right thing, but I guess I am. She has no complaints about everything and just goes with the flow. I want to hold her and cover her against the eyes of many, but I know she will never like that. "You are the most beautiful woman on Earth, darling. Trust me," I winked, acting cute and sexy. She laughed. "You and your moves." She quickly looped her arms around my neck and brought her body against mine. She rubbed our noses together, which alone ignited the whole of me. "I want to eat you," I whispered
Beauty’s POV . “And where are you taking me, Drew?” “We’re nearly there.” I giggle with excitement, and our hands remain entwined. Drew’s other hand holds the steering wheel while the other grasps mine. I called my sister earlier, letting her know I am with Drew and will probably be late or I will be staying at Drew’s place. Either way, she’s okay with that and is happy for me. She saw what happened earlier as it was live on TV. “Are you mad?” I looked at him thoughtfully. “Do I look like I was angry?” He smiled. It was only quick. The whole country knows now about us, and I will no longer go to Paris. He doesn’t seem unhappy with that. I was just making sure that he is not. “Do you like me that much?” he teased, his eyes beamed. “Uhm, I like you the way how you like me,” I winked wickedly. He chuckled and kissed my hand. “I love you, darling.” “And I love you more,” I responded. It took us an hour, and my eyes are weary now. But when my eyes gave up, Drew announced we ar
Beauty's Pov.I felt shy and didn't speak much while eating gently beside Drew. Everyone at the table ate quietly, with only the sound of utensils breaking the silence being all you could hear.Sitting across me is Skye, the wife of Liam, Drew's brother. Between them is their son, Logan, and beside Logan is their youngest, Amber. The little boy Logan caught my attention with his constant smile, especially when he was with his grandfather. Both kids are adorable.After the sweet confession, Drew and I quickly left the place with his family. It was a rush, and the reporters had many questions, but Drew never answered them. We walked past them.I was just thankful that Drew's family seemed okay with what happened right after that. His father remained calm and didn't utter a single word.Logan walked over to his grandfather, who was seated on the edge of the table. It is a reminder that Drew's father was the head of the household."Nonno, voglio sedermi accanto a 'te," Logan smiled, and
Beauty's POV.Holding the folder that contains all the reports, I exited the building comfortably.Vincent held the car door open for me, and I slid onto the leather seat before buckling my seatbelt. We have to drive for another five minutes, and then we will reach our destination.I composed myself when I stepped out and cleared my throat when I entered the building. I followed my sister's instructions for me to be able to get inside the place.It is a secluded venue exclusively reserved for the gatherings of high-profile individuals. The reporters and media personnel are present, as indicated by the cars outside and Vincent's earlier message."Thank you, Miss," I said to the lady at the information desk. She gave me a visitor's ID for entry.One of the security in-charge accompanied me all the way to where the venue was located. I smiled at him, and he formally smiled back. He never said a word, and we were quiet until we arrived on the right level.The moment the elevator opens, t
My love for you comes with a lifetime guarantee..Beauty's POV."Are you sure about this?" Ceilo looked at me seriously."Yes," I nodded without regrets. It felt good to be on the right track in my life.This morning, I woke up feeling complete. This is the best feeling I have had so far, after so long. I always have my worries with me before, and I don't look forward to my day. My mind is busy thinking of other things, including modeling, Drew's family, and my own family.It seemed like I was walking in a path like a robot with a clear direction but without a heart. I wasn't happy.*(conversation I had with Atticus the other day)"Are you sure you will not regret this, Beauty?""Yes, Atticus. I will not. I contemplated a lot and thought not just once but more than a hundred times. And my decision is final, Art."He shook his head slightly and smiled at me. "Beauty, true happiness, and contentment come from within. If you have found that, then nothing more is needed. If this is you
Drew's POV.Damn this. When are they going to stop this nonsense?I heaved a sigh after reading the articles online. I barely had any time to have my coffee as the business in Greece was facing inclination.Xavion has to fly there to check the conspiracy. A few people on the board of directors are doing the pullouts, giving a scare to the rest of the investors.I've been receiving calls for the meeting since last night. I didn't have a drop of sleep as I also took care of the annual year-end financial scheme of the El Monde Towers. My father is crushing me to the bones, manipulating the rest of the investors again, threatening me of the decision I've made.I will never let him arrange my marriage to someone this time. I will rule my life, and I mean it. If he wants war against me, I will face him, heads on high."Don't worry, Drew. I have already talked to Samuel. He will help us." Liam said in the line. "Just take care of Beauty. The articles about you and Beatrice may hurt her. You
Beauty's POVI let the warm water wash my face while my tears are flowing. I waited an hour in his room, but he never returned. I had the heaviest heart when I left the place and came back here, in my hotel room. I don't think I will be okay after this. I just can't take it.My message to Drew:Drew, darling, I love you, and I'm sorry. I got carried away with my insecurities and jealousy. I forgot your sacrifices. I love you so much. I will see you back home.I stared at my cell phone simultaneously and still had no messages from Drew. I know that he left Japan last night. Mamita confirmed it with me. Today is the day I will also return with Mamita. I turned off my cell phone and have no plans of turning it back on."You, alright?" Mamita asked beside me. She probably noticed I wasn't at myself as I was quiet the whole time."I'm good, Mamita. Thank you," I weakly responded, and she smiled.***My eyebrows met while watching the TV. I paused to eat the banana bread that my sister Amal
Beauty's POV I walked towards Drew's shut door without a plan. I looked around, and there was no one. I took a deep breath and was about to knock but changed my mind. I felt my flesh shaking thinking of Beatrice. I fisted my hands and took another deep breath. I stared at the door before me briefly and stepped back. I dialed Drew's number, and it rang a few times. He didn't answer it. I chuckled, feeling so annoyed now. Me to Drew: Drew, are you free to talk? I waited long enough for a response, but I realized he would never respond and probably chose to ignore me today. My blood rose to the limit of what I could handle. So, straight away, I knocked heavily on his door. It opened, and it was no longer a surprise for him to see me. He left the door open for me to enter and turned his back to me. I stepped in and looked around. The empty cups of coffee are still sitting on the coffee table. My brows furrowed at the thought of Beatrice being here a while ago. "Drew?" I looked beh
