FINDING TRUE LOVE(Beyond Beauty) CHAPTER 42
The dress code was elegant. Kay literally stated that the company asked them to dress in a black or red stylish outfit. So I decided to go with the red. I wore a knee length gown, who has an opened space at the shoulders, leaving it a shoulder down dress and has a shape V in the middle, exposing a wider part of my cleavage.I changed my hair to a brown bouncy one and wore my accessories before wearing my gold heels to go with it.When I reach downstairs, Kay was already waiting for me with a smile on his face. I couldn’t help but smile back at him. Kay’s black trousers and T-shirt accentuated his broad shoulders, while the red suit added a pop of color that made his eyes sparkle.“Hey,” I say to him to avoid an awkward, silent situation. And he stretched out his hands just as I was about reaching the last part of the step.“You look so ravishingly beautiful, Starr.” He complimented me and I smiled widely again and muttered a low thank you.“Ready to go?” He asked and I just nod,“Yeah

I proceeded to meet Kay as we opened the dance floor for every other person to join. Whenever I glanced at Seven, I catch him staring at Kay and me, his gaze lingering on Kelvin’s hands on my waist. But it is the only way to dance.After the song ended, everyone clapped and went back to their seats as we all dived to meet our friends and engaged in different conversations.So I approached Gab and the guys to at least thank them for coming to celebrate with me. When I get there, Gab quickly gives me a side hug. “Happy Birthday Starr. This Is a beautiful arrangement.”“Thanks, Gab. But it was the girls that arranged all of this and that includes your woman.” I said to him and I see his face lit up in amusement before he nods.I turn to Chris and Jude, trying so hard to let go of what he did and I look at Seven who seemed ultimately silent and kept on gazing between Chris and I. I think they had a fight cause they’re mostly at each other’s neck, but seeing them like this, I know that som

Chapter 44✍️“Starr, wake up!” Elizabeth's voiced pierced through my sleep, and I felt a sudden jolt on my shoulders. I snuggled deeper into the duvet and pillow, trying to escape the noise. But she wasn’t having it. She shook me again, and I felt the bed creak as she climbed onto it. “Starr!”I burrowed deeper into the pillow, trying to shut out her annoying voice. But it persisted, piercing through my sleep. Just as I was starting to drift off again, the mattress shifted, and I felt a weight being lifted off. For a moment, I relaxed, thinking I’d been left alone to sleep until I feel drops of water on my face. And I snapped my eyes open as a groan leaves me. “Jesus Christ, Elizabeth!”I’m still trying to get my senses back, but now all of it seems to be focused in one place, driving me absolutely mad. “What did you do that for?” I whine at her, now wide awake, as I brush my hair through my fingers.She doesn’t respond, rather she sticks out her tongue childishl

CHAPTER 45✍️Still in my thoughts as I wore my flat shiny slippers, I heard the doorbell ring. “Oh shit! He’s here already.” I exclaimed as I quickly packed my makeup into the kitbag, pulled down my gown a little to straighten it, and I reached for the doorknob.I rushed down the stairs to the dining room to check if I’d successfully had everything set. Satisfied, I moved to the door to open it while my fingers trembled.I took a pause and took in a deep breath to calm my roaring nerves before I placed my hands on the doorknob to open it.And I came face to face with that familiar face I looked forward to seeing. He looked like a real man dressed in his fitted jeans and a relaxed fit shirt that skimmed his physique. His undone top two shirt buttons revealed a hint of chest, adding a touch of casual charm to his look.I had never seen him dressed in a Jean before, so it looked strange seeing him dressed like this, but it suits him so much. He looked breathtaking.

CHAPTER 46✍️His eyes flashed with remorse and guilt as he continued, “That night was the best night I’ve had in years. I wouldn’t hope for something better than that.” He gulped as his eyes shone with sincerity and vulnerability. “I meant it when I said I liked it. There was never a second of it that felt I was doing it because of a bet. Trust me Starr,” He explained, while I just stared and sniffed back in the tears that were threatening to spill.He stretched his hands as he tried to reach mine for mine. He placed his on mine, and he gazed into my eyes. “Do you believe me?”I snapped out of my trance and placed my other hand on his as I gulped, trying to get things off my chest. I wanted him to know how that affected me and whatever little relationship or situation-ship we had before. “Yes, Seven, for a moment after we did—-” I trailed off as I cleared my throat to begin again, but skipped that part.“Honestly, I thought we had something going on, but I guess

Chapter 47 I thought I had heard incorrectly, so I asked him again, quickly searching around his face with my eyes for my answer, “What did you say?”“I Love you Starr.” He repeated, his voice firm and rigid. I stared deeply into his eyes, as I tried to search for my doubts or lies, but I couldn’t find any.I hesitated for a while before I threw my tongue over my lips to lick it. “Oh my God, Seven.” I replied lowly while I tried to balance myself on the couch since we barely had space between us.My words flattered, as I still stared into his face, “You know you shouldn’t say that just because you want to have sex.”His expression turned as his forehead furrowed in a deep frown. “You still don’t believe me? You think this is all because of sex?” He threw at me, but I remained calm while my eyes lingered on him.“Starr, I’m fucking serious. I love you!” He stated again, his voice loud and guarded.I stared at him, still fumbling with my nails, “Seven, I don’t k

CHAPTER 48✍️He stared into my face like time had stopped and I raised my hands to his face, “I’m sorry, Seven. But it’s for your own good.”He shook his head sideways, obviously against my answer, “No, no, Starr. Don’t say that to me. You said you love me. Isn’t that what you said?” He asked me, his brows furrowed in confusion.“Right? That’s what you said.”“Yes.” I replied.He face wrinkled in a frown as he spoke, “Then why say no?”I slowly took my hands from his to mine as I sit to face him directly, “it’s for your own good Seven, I don’t want to trap you with me.”His face turned into a deeper scowl, “What are you talking about? please tell me, what is the issue?” He begged, while I just stayed there, my eyes fixed as I shook my head again and he nodded.He looks at me for a second, his eyes dropped in hurt and rejection, he tugged on his hair in anger and stood up from the couch.I tried opening my mouth to explain but I couldn’t, even if I wanted to, how woul

I looked at her when that rolled out of my mouth, but she still had a clear expression on her face. “That’s not what he asked you Starr. he didn’t ask you if you have a fucking medical condition. He asked you to be his girlfriend.”“So what? I should lie to him and lead him on for how long? Huh? I should do the same thing Charles did to me to him? Is that what you are asking me to do?” I threw at her and I saw her face softened in pain as tears flowed out of her eyes.“I just want you to be happy. I literally just want my best friend to be happy. That’s all I want.” She continued to speak as tears flowed down her eyes.I nodded my head immediately as I wiped the tears that spilled out of mine. “I understand, but I’ll be happy if he is happy.”I spoke and I see her tilt her head. “Really? Is that the lie you’ve fed yourself with? You and I know that’s a fucking lie.” She spat, and I shrugged my shoulders.“Then what would you have me do?”“Tell him about it, I am sure he wouldn’t___” I

My hands grasped the doorknob, and I pushed it open. The room was empty. For a moment I panicked. My heart raced, but the instant I heard the water running and then it stopped, I knew she was in.She was taking her bath. So I moved my legs to the window, knowing that she’d be out any moment from now.I stretched out my fingers, who has turned white from my nervous knuckles. Swiftly, I wiped my hands on my Jean to clean out the sweat that formed.Still waiting, I moved my legs to her desks where her laptop was, opened. A warmth spread through my chest as I gazed at her laptop, admiring her dedication.My eyes scanned the whole table, and it finally landed on a white thick nylon that had some pack of drugs.Is she not feeling too well? Why is she on drugs?One of it was already at the tip of the nylon, wanting to spill out. So I picked it up to read the content.But the bathroom door swung open. She stepped out and instantly she stood frozen immediately she set her eyes on me. With her

Sighing, I bursted out into laughter. This epistle is so funny. I knew she was hurt, and that, given my weeks of silence, she probably assumed I was tired of her and wanted to break up.I narrowed my eyes back to my parents and siblings.⏰⏰⏰TWO WEEKS LATERSquinted my eyes before heaving out the deep breath that I’ve kept in for so long.“What is your woman saying, man?” I inquired, narrowing my eyes in slight anger.Groaning, I responded immediately. “I thought you told me that she said Starr would be home today. What changed?” I took another deep breath as I tried to understand what he was spurting from the other end.“So for two weeks, she has been avoiding you? Is that it?” I asked him with my jaw clenching with anger.My eyes moved around trying to read what’s going on even from the other side of the phone.“Man, I think she’s lying or stalling. Maybe Starr is upstairs. Check it out for me. Go to her room and knock. She’s supposed to be back from work.”Tugging the root of my ha

Washington, Seattle⏰Momentarily, I turned my back to my father, before tugging the root of my hair then faced him again. “No, I’m not going to reconsider anything that man uttered. All of that he said, it’s just based on his daughter’s feelings and not for the company’s alignment.”Narrowing my eyes, I spoke again. “And moreover I told you and mom that I found someone that I love already so I meant it when I clearly stated last year, that the betrothal engagement is cut of.”“I only honored this invitation because of the respect I have for him, but since he wouldn’t get it through his head via email, that is the reason I came. To let it out myself so he and his family can leave us alone dad.”Still panting, I let it all out while my father just stood staring at me till I explained everything. “Okay, son. I understand.”Finally, I was glad when that came out of his mouth. He held me by my arms and motioned that we go back inside.“Thank you Terrence for having my son and I.” Trisha’s

Tension filled the room immediately and I saw her face melt into something I couldn’t get myself to understand. “Perfect, you’re a jealous one. Just like him.”She chuckled again, although this one was a little louder, earning a huge grin on her face before she spoke again. “Oh, I now see why you two are made for each other.” She stated chuckling, and again, she checked her phone for the ninth time.I arched my chin up as I began to wonder why she constantly kept on doing that.She picked up her phone from the table and scrolled through, typing something in it. Probably sent a message before placing it down back on the table. She took her eyes to me. “I’m sorry that you found that offensive, or rather I’m that you found me in your man’s shirt. It won’t happen again.” It was my time to chuckle. And I did before taking my eyes back to her. “No, don’t take it personal. I just……”“You know what Starr? It’s totally fine. I understand.” She stated as she leaned closer and placed her arms

It was a message from Seven’s first love. Camille.Why did she send me a message? Why does she want us to meet?I rolled my eyes and took it back to Lizzy and she widened hers and shrugged her shoulders. “What?”Grouchily, I responded. “Camille wants us to meet today.”A small smile spread across her face immediately. “Why that expression?” I quickly inquired.Chuckling, she replied. “Nothing. I’m just glad she probably wants to get things off her chest with you, so it’s a good one.”Without wasting any more seconds, I gave my honest response. “Well, I’m not going.”Lizzy bursted out laughing with her hands on her chest. “Oh Starr., I know you’ll. So quit the hard girl and go meet the woman trying to get between you and your man.”Time flew in a flurry of activity, and it was early evening.I quickly wore a knee length black gown and I short heel slippers to go with it.Hesitantly, I pulled up at the small parking lot and strolled inside.The shiny light in the room was very captivati

Restlessly, I kept turning around in my bed. I couldn’t sleep. I kept on drifting back to the conversation Seven and I had earlier today. Was I that bad? Am I possessed? Why can’t I keep a man just like every other woman?My mind reeled off to Ella. She knew of my condition now. I’m sure she’d blackmail me with it since she has always had eyes for Seven, so there was absolutely no way I’d win this.She would definitely force me to back out for her to take my place in his life. If I truly had one.I wasn’t ready to tell him. No. I couldn’t possibly look him in the eyes and say. “Hey, I’ve a freaking medical condition and I can’t conceive.” Yeah. That’s extremely funny.I just can’t. There is no way I am doing that. So the other option is just to let him be. But my heart can’t. I love him.Sighing, I placed my hand on my chest as I continued to heave heavily and think deep.Sighing out deeply for the up tenth time, I felt my chest tightened so quickly, I grasp the duvet and threw it off

Her gawking eyes followed me till I push the door open and went outside. She didn’t bother saying anything, the same goes for me and for some unknown reasons I was grateful.I wasn’t ready for any fake love or affection.Hastily, I walked to my car and stayed in there for some time, wiping away the constant tears that were dripping down.After successfully pouring everything out, I drove home and went inside, not spending another one second out there wallowing.The instant I pushed the door open, I met Chris and Gab in the sitting room with their woman giggling and all happy.They were definitely cracking jokes and grinning from ear to ear. Faking a small smile, I greeted them and moved closer to take Chris’s outstretched hands to shake me.After the short compliments and welcoming speech, I made sure I didn’t spare a slight glance to Lizzy’s way.I just ran upstairs and banged my door hard. Few minutes later, after taking a cold shower, I heard a soft knock on the door.Quickly, I wr

Chapter 77He took a step closer to me, his eyes locked on mine. Pain and hurt instantly filled his eyes. “Gone.” I furrowed my brows in confusion as I tried to understand what he meant by “Gone.”.“What do you mean by gone?”Biting his lower lips, he sniffed in a little and spoke again. “She died. It was still birth.” My eyes bulged out in pain for him and he hurried back to the windows, staring out at it. I took a deep breath, composing myself before speaking. “You shouldn’t blame yourself for that.” I spoke out, trying to comfort him.He turned to look at me as I continued, “You got separated. So there was absolutely no way you’d have been there for her.”Sewing in his sob, he spoke. “Apparently, she got pregnant and my parent already got me betrothed to Trisha right from when we were growing up because Trisha's family are also rich and they needed that contracted marriage.”“So I’m sure Camille’s mother figured it all out. That was the reason she took her

I didn’t know what to do next. One part of me wanted to storm out and confront Lizzy, while another part of me stayed frozen in shock.I stood there, unsure of how to react, as Lizzy continued her conversation, oblivious to my presence.As I stood there, I knew that my relationship with Seven would never be the same. The secrets and lied had created a rift, and I wasn’t sure if it would be amended.My secrets to him and his to me. He knew about all of this, and he made me think that I was overreacting.With my trembling hands, I wiped my tears, and gradually, without making a noise, I went out of her room.I approached the gate, pushed it open, and went into my car. I let my tears fall because I knew it was over for me.Trying to relax my racing heart, I placed my hands on my chest to calm myself. My drugs were in my bag, so there was no way I’d stop a huge panic attack if it set in.My hands caught my steering wheel, so I puffed out the gagging air in my throat, then revved the engin
