Beauty's POV

I kept rolling on my bed while staring at my phone. The event has ended, and we are free starting tomorrow. The rest of the girls have already made up their plans for the remaining days. They will tour around the city in groups. They asked me if I wanted to join, but I refused. I have other things to do, and I want to see Drew.

I let out a never-ending sigh while waiting for Drew's message. It's past ten at night, and I am in this dark room alone. The girls went out for a night party.

I FELT THE Shiver of cold, which made me awake for a reason. It was four o'clock in the morning, and the girls were not yet back. I forgot to turn on the heater, leaving the room cold. I strode to turn the heater on and wrapped a thick blanket around me.

I grabbed my phone and saw two unread messages from Drew four hours ago. I swipe it to open.

Drew's message to me: Sorry, darling. I can't see you tonight. The boys are holding me hostage, and Beatrice is on the go. I will call you tomorrow.

Some of them came to me, congratulating me on the project."Magnificent as always," Bryce said as he patted my shoulder. "Do you have any plans after lunch?""Don't forget that you have a meeting with Beatrice and the rest of the team after lunch. That will be the last one for today," Atticus reminded me.Bryce chuckled and shook his head as he looked at me."Congratulations, Art. You nailed it again on top. You always had the best ace on your shoulder when it comes to your models. What's your secret, bro?" Bryce asked Atticus.Atticus made a glance at me, and my jaw clenched. I grabbed my cold drink."Thanks to the best man around here. He made it possible. That's why," Atticus looked at me intently, and Bryce came forward."You mean this man?" Bryce snaked his arm around my neck."Get the

    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

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.

    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

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

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
