CHAPTER 46: The Proposal
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56CLAIRE’s P.O.V.
After we asked for grandma’s permission, she let us leave. We are now on our way to the park, where Darren said that he asked someone to help him set up a small picnic there. Alexa was happily sitting in the passenger seat, eating tons of popcorns while me and my daughter are currently sitting on the backseat. Cloey is now asleep, and I’m thankful for that because she’s saving her energy for later.
I often caught Darren glance at me in the front mirror. I’ll just smile, before I saw him blushing like a silly teenager. I’ll just laughed to myself, afraid that if ever Alexa, my little sister, hear it again, she will teased us nonstop.
“We are almost there,” Darren announced, looking glad by the sound of his voice.
“Yay! This is my first time going into that place! I wanted to see how does it look like!” Alexa energ

DARREN’s P.O.V. I didn’t saw her walking down the isle. I didn’t saw her wearing an elegant gown or whatsoever. We didn’t have a grand engagement party, nor a nice venue or a huge crowd for visitors. We didn’t have the wedding everyone’s been dreaming of. But we got married. A simple, yet full of love marriage. Holding her hand, in front of our few witnesses while we vowed our promises to each other, it is the most amazing feeling I’ve ever had in my whole life. It’s not about how grand the wedding is. It’s about the person whom you’re gonna share that moment and the rest of your life with. And if it’s Claire, money doesn’t have a value for she is the most precious treasure that I have.“You are now officially husband and wife,” the judge announced, after we signed our marriage contract. “You may now kiss

CLAIRE’s P.O.V. We are currently on a trip, waiting for our plane to land in order to see our home again. The country we’ve come from. How I miss the fresh air and the very accommodating people. Because of Darren, I finally got the chance to feel that again. Speaking of him, he’s now sitting by my side while our daughter is in another seat next to him. She was looking out of the window, while Darren is staring intensely at me.“What?” I asked, confused at his stares.“Nothing. Just let me stare at you for a moment.” I just chuckled before giving him a quick peck of a kiss on his cheeks. He instantly blushed, and that made me laughed.“What was that for?” he asked.“Uhm... Nothing? I just wanted to kiss my husband.” Again, I saw a

DARREN’s P.O.V. I looked at Claire, who is now nervously staring at her reflection on the mirror. I almost laugh as she trembles when my hands touches her shoulders.“Hey...” I greeted her, trying to suppress my laughter.“You startled me!” she complained.“Sorry, wife. Just, don’t be nervous, okay? Dad will be the one who supposed to be surprised so please, stop worrying now,” I assured her.“Okay... I just... What if... What if he doesn’t like Cloey? Or what if... He’ll be mad because you didn’t come home for over half a year here...”“That wouldn’t happen. Everyone loves Cloey. And hey, I promised to him never to come back here if I still haven’t got you yet... So I’m sure he will be glad to see you... With a bonus, of course. A grandchild he’s been waiting for.”“Okay, okay. I ca

CLAIRE’s P.O.V. Looking at Mr. Herrera with Cloey in his arms, I couldn’t hide the happiness that I’m feeling right now. It’s like when Darren first met her, the emotions were mixed with each other. Cloey deserves to have a complete family.“Yey!” Cloey beamed as her grandfather put the last piece of the puzzle on the board.“Do you want us to build another one?” Mr. Herrera asked and my daughter quickly nodded. He took a week off of work just to play with Cloey. We are now living here in Herrera residence. Dad decided that Alexa and him will stay at grandma’s house but they promised that they will visit us here very often. That wasn’t a problem for Darren and Mr. Herrera owned a private plane and chopper. We can easily pick them up if ever.“Hey,” Darren greeted as he sat beside me on the couch opposit
His Epitome Of Beauty CHAPTER 01: The Condition
DARREN’s P.O.V. For a countless time today, I just sighed. I remembered everything that Dad told me earlier. Every single condition that I need to fulfilled and rules to be followed just to take over our company.“Why can’t you just give it to me, Dad?” I asked furiously to him. My father, Darrel Herrera, is the CEO of Herrera Corp. How I wish that he would step over his position and let me run the company.“I already told you, Darren. I can’t entrust the company to you until you get married.”“But why?” I asked out of frustration.“Herrera Corp. is like a big family. Every single department has its own duties. And being the CEO means that you are the father of that family, Darren. The family I struggled to build for several years. How can I make sure that you can handle seven thousand employees if you can’t even raise yo
His Epitome Of Beauty CHAPTER 02: Welcome Party
DARREN’s P.O.V. I dialed Elijah’s cellphone number before fixing my hair. Again, he didn’t answer my call. I sighed as I repeatedly type his fucking number. I left my phone on the counter near the bathroom sink as I continue putting a wax on my hair. I wonder why he isn’t answering my calls. I looked closely to the mirror, seeing a man that resembles my mother. The only woman I love in my whole life. Blue eyes. Brown hair. If only she’s still here. Maybe she would be proud of me.“Bro? Your name was all over my inbox!” I immediately picked up the phone when I heard my bestfriend’s voice, Elijah Ramirez.“Hey, asshole. Why aren’t you answering my calls, huh?”“You sound like a jealous girlfriend.”“Tsssk.”“Okay, okay. I’m sorry, bro. You know I&

DARREN’s P.O.V.“Shit! Elijah! Please answer the phone!” Damn it! I throw my phone away as I heard the beeping sound, indicating that he doesn’t answer my call, as usual. Since the evening of the welcoming party, I cannot contact my bestfriend. I don’t know why. Maybe he change his mobile number or something. Shit. I badly needed his help. I was on my way down the stairs when I heard my father’s voice, calling my name as if he was looking for a missing thing.“Hey, Dad.”“Darren. Thank God you’re here. We have an emergency meeting, with Kate and her whole family. We’re gonna fix everything about your wedding.”“Do I really need to be there, dad?”“Of course, son! You’re the groom, by the way...”“But I need to find Elijah. He’

DARREN’s P.O.V.“Are you sure about that, Darren? I mean, no offense but... Finding a woman that will act as your wife? Seriously?”“Well, how bad could it be? Any woman would love to play along as my wife. And in fact, I will be paying whoever it is.”“Don’t be so full of yourself, bro. I have read tons of stories about this kind of situation and stuff and guess what?”“What happened?”“The protagonists fall for each other in the end.” I chuckled before answering him.“That’s hilarious. I will never fall for anyone below my level. That kind of story will never happen to me, Elij.”“Yeah. Whatever you say, bro. But just so you know, I’m not sure if I can find that someone you are looking for in just a short span of time.”“Yes, you can. Just show them the money and I’m

CLAIRE’s P.O.V.“That’s it. Let’s stop apologizing to each other now... I-I... I love y-you, Claire. I haven’t told you that before you leave and I know that I’ll regret it again if I didn’t tell you that phrase right now. I love you, ever since I saw you standing in the pouring rain that night in front of the school. I’ve been loving you since that day and until now... Two years had passed but nothing changed. I’m still into you. I love you so much. Please, don’t leave me again, wife.” After he said those words, I couldn’t suppressed the sadness mixed with joyous emotion inside of my chest. I cried, half happy and regretful at the same time. If only I didn’t leave. But that doesn’t matter now that Darren is already holding me securely in his arms again.“I’ll do everything to earn your trust again, Claire. I’ll do everyth
His Epitome Of Beauty CHAPTER 44: Second Chance
CLAIRE’s P.O.V.“I wouldn’t leave you and take our daughter away. You know I’m not that kind of guy. So please, stop worrying.” After he said that, I felt guilty. He didn’t trust me before, so I’m having a hard time trusting him now. I just nodded towards him, still silent when he opened the door of his car for me. The first time I saw him in front of the mall, I felt nervous, and I didn’t wanna told him the truth. I’m afraid that if ever he found out about Cloey, he will take her away from me using his money. But he didn’t. He stay contented at the fact that I only allowed him to meet my precious daughter along with me. We spend the day buying Cloey’s stuff. Anything that she wanted, Darren bought it for her. He also tried to give me some money for Cloey’s expenses but I refused to

DARREN’s P.O.V. Today is the day I’ve been waiting for. I’m going to meet my daughter. I woke up early to fix myself. I want my daughter to like me. I want her not to be afraid or anything when she meet her Dad. I’m also excited to tell this to Elijah and my father, wanting to know their reaction. But for now, I’ll just keep this to myself. I drove to the place written on the tissue paper. When I arrived there, Claire isn’t still there. I patiently waits, knowing that I will see my daughter and the woman I love in just a few hours. And I wasn’t wrong for after a half hour or so, Claire entered into the shop, carrying a little girl on her arms. Mixed emotions overwhelmed my system. I didn’t know what to do, and I can’t also open my mouth to speak any words.“Darren... Meet Cloey, your daughter.”
His Epitome Of Beauty CHAPTER 42: We Met Again
DARREN’s P.O.V. It’s been exactly twenty six days since I started to stay here, in front of the mall. I’m still hoping to see her, even if it’s impossible to know if she came here for the thousands of people who passed me by. I’m currently sitting on the bench, taking a sip from my drink. I looked closely enough to the people to identity whether they are my love or not. I’m wearing a hoodie and a sunglasses so that if ever Claire saw me and she’s still mad, she wouldn’t run away just like what she did before. My attention gets fully occupied when I saw someone walking... Like Claire. I instantly stood up, not wanting to missed this chance if ever. I ran after her, grabbed her hand and called her name.“Claire, wait!” I received a hard slapped coming from her.“Who the heck ar
