FINDING TRUE LOVE(Beyond Beauty) CHAPTER 69
Yesterday went quickly as I was all up doing nothing but thinking. I didn’t bother to call Seven cause we were going to see today. Tania’s birthday party is today.Since I’d already promised Chris, I assisted him in decorating his house cause he said he wanted to throw her a surprise there, and the after party would commence afterwards.When I left his place after the arrangement, I went straight to Kay’s house. But he wasn’t around, so he asked me to go in and wait for him.But I didn’t go upstairs, I just laid on the widest couch and slept off after making sure that I’d put my phone on silent.I hadn’t realized how long I slept till I felt a touch on my cheek, and I jolted out of my sleep.Rushing to the other side of the couch and almost falling to the ground, I looked up and saw Kay with a huge smile on his face as he bursted out laughing.“You almost fell. I thought you were very brave. Were you that scared?” He questioned with a huge grin on his face and bursted out laughing.Hu

My mouth hung open in shock as I stared at both of them. She pulled back from the hug and whispered something into his ears with a huge smile on her face.He smiled briefly too, as she moved to Chris again and shook his hands. I guess they were talking about Tania cause he pointed towards the shelf where she stood talking to someone else. They all laughed at what she said but I didn’t take my eyes off cause as I kept on gawking at her. Lizzy noticed caused she instantly placed her hands on mine but I still didn’t stop so she stood up stylishly and came to stand in front of me.I snapped out of my stares as my view was blocked so I took it to Lizzy’s face and whispered at her.“What’s it? Why did you stand here?” She chuckled and responded through gritted teeth, “Well, I wouldn’t have to if you weren’t gawking.” I arched my brows at her and she responded, “It was obvious and intense.”I swallowed the spit that had already formed and gently moved my fingers to shift the hair that was

Her smile was bright and contagious, revealing her full set of white teeth. Seeing her up close like this, I noticed her skin was very radiant and shiny.Her lips were curved as V at the upper part, making it look outstanding. “Hey.” She waved her hands at me, and I instantly feigned a smile.“Hi.” I responded and collided my hands with her outstretched hands. Before we pulled apart and she took her eyes to Seven.She placed her hands on his arms and whispered something in his ear. Making me gulp down the spit that formed at the depth of my throat.My stomach churned in annoyance, but I rubbed my hands together to ease myself from smacking the hell out of her face.Hell yeah, I was jealous.After she was done whispering, Seven spoke up as he placed his hands on mine. Caressed it a little, and spoke. “I’ll be back, okay?”I opened my mouth to speak but stopped abruptly because she’d had already fixed her arms in his and walked away. Was this the human that Lizzy said she would have mov

My eyes were fixed at her before I took it to Seven as I anticipated his response. My heart began to race because I was scared he was going to deny me. It’d all come crashing down if his response is negative. His lips parted to speak as everywhere was ultimately silence, that even if a pin was dropped it would be heard.“Yes, she’s my girlfriend.” She replied with a smile on his face.Camille’s face went into a surprise one as she smiled very shortly and clamped her mouth with her hands momentarily.“I didn’t know that.” I cleared my throat before speaking up.“Seven can I talk to you for moment?” I requested and she chipped in sharply.“I’m sorry, we’re having an important discussion, so please just give us a moment?” My eyes snapped at her when she spat that out and I began to wonder if she was alright.That instant, I expected Seven to disapprove what she said, but instead he did the opposite, he supported her.Surprisingly, He made me feel inferior. He made me feel worthless. C

I blinked back the tears that were rolling as Tania came closer to me, but I quickly smiled at her and hugged her goodnight.I briefly hugged Chris, too. “I can drop you off, Starr.” He suggested, but I turned him down.“Oh, you don’t have to worry. I’ll be fine.” I said fast and walked to the front door.Sighing, I dialed his line. It rang for some seconds before he picked up. “Kay, please, can you come pick me up? If you are not busy.”I heard him respond quickly, “Yeah, sure. Where is the place?” He asked, and I gave him directions.Minutes later, my phone rang, and I hastily walked out of the gate and approached his car before stepping in.He noticed my withered makeup that was scattered because of my seared tears, and I quickly lowered my gaze and looked out of the window.There was no doubt that he noticed, but I’m sure he remained calm because he knew I would probably not give answers to his pending questions, and trust me, I was glad.The drive was fast to his place, and I was

Pushing my hair slowly away from my face, I took a step forward while he just stood there staring at me intensely before he turned around and moved to push the gate open to go in.I thought he was leaving just now? Why did he go back inside? I thought to myself as my face crinkled in confusion.I walked behind him going inside till we got to where my car was parked, so he leaned forward and bent his head while he squeezed his hands, making his knuckles turn white from it.He was clearly angry. But I’m the one that’s supposed to be. Then why is he?Without thinking, angrily, I hissed and hastened my foot to the front door. He shoot up and turned to me. I could feel his eyes piercing my skin as I walked, but I didn’t care.Till he shouted my name, coming behind me. We pushed the door open, revealing Lizzy that was with a glass of juice about going up, but paused the moment she saw the door fling open with me marching inside and Seven coming behind me, fuming and yelling.“Starr? What th

Still contemplating, tears continued to spill out of my eyes, and I quickly took my hands to wipe them out. Slowly, I turned around to look at Lizzy. She glanced at me without saying anything. Giving me the expression of, do whatever it is you want, she moved her step to reach the stairs, going up. Lizzy’s behavior dumbfounded me, because she had never acted like that before. She left me alone to face this all by myself. Sluggishly, I nodded, picked my bag from the couch and went straight to the wine cellar to get a full bottle of wine before moving to my room. Slamming the door shut, I didn’t bother to take another step. I just slumped to the floor and wrapped my knee close to my face and cried my eyes out. I was selfish. Maybe I should have trusted him and now he has left me. I did this to myself. I let anger and jealousy fuel inside me so badly that I didn’t see who he really was. How true of a man he has been to me. I stayed there, on the ground and cried for hours an

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

Her face dropped dead immediately. Shock was written all over it. She was scared, but quickly milked it up with a small smile.She cleared her throat before responding. “Uhhh… they’re nothing, it’s just you know... menstrual supplements.” She struggled with her words as she stuttered.“Okay.” I gave a curt reply.She took her eyes momentarily to the closet and then back at me, before taking the picked clothes in her hands and moved to the bedroom.I just strolled behind her. She took off the towel while I just leaned my body on her cabinet whilst staring at her, wear her bra to her heels.She didn’t even bother to put on makeup. She just brushed her hair and applied some nude lipstick.Instantly, I stood up and approached her by the dressing table. I took a wipe and wiped the lipstick off, then picked a red one, placing it on her palm.She chuckled and slapped my chest softly. “You love red lipstick, huh?”I furrowed my eyebrows and smiled. “You’ve no idea how much it looks good on yo

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
