'Your beauty begins when you decide what you want to be yourself.' . Beauty's POV . I felt like my heart would pop out soon. The crowds noise outside dominated while we were all waiting for the show to start. There are many people today, and the whole studio is full. All the models were busy with their dresses and makeup. The dome has reporters and media coverage, and a live telecast will be aired soon. I inhaled deeply and looked at myself in the mirror. I haven't put on my gown yet. I am still wearing my skinny jeans and a white off-shoulder top. My makeup was done by one of the famous makeup artists. Bobita was busy, and I could only smile at him. He juggles around, giving instructions, organizing the gowns, and checking everyone on his team. And after two hours, the show started. I still have an hour to wait for my turn. I was amazed at the performance of the exclusive models of Monde Fashion on stage together with their mentor at the end. They cater to the new products th

Chapter 24. Guard

Drew's POV.My brain froze as I stared at her intensely. Hearing the words I long to hear from a woman I like made my body afloat in heaven.It's a beautiful feeling, and it's hard to explain."Embrace yourself, Beauty, because you can't run away from me from now on. I like you more, and I'm deeply falling in love with you, darling," I said while holding her body against me.The sweet smile on her face and the flush of her cheeks indicate no regrets. We are both into this."You can't take away Beauty from me!" Jasper pulled my body away from Beauty, making my body out of balance. His right fist flew fast, aiming to hit me in the face, but I dodged it. He missed his target.Fucking, bastard.He reeked of alcohol.

'Then, get used to it. I have no plan to run away from you, nor will I let you get away from me.'-Drew Mondragon-.Beauty's POV"Where?" My forehead creased as I looked at Drew. We had a nice dinner together at Blue Bells Café. He booked a private room for us where no one could see us, and now, we just got home."In Tokyo," his eyes beamed, and his body moved closer to me. "Let's get your stuff." He held my hand and looked at me seriously.I twinkled my eyes, trying to clear up my not-so-good mind.Is he for real? Is this some kind of a joke? To Japan? Seriously?I found myself unable to blink my eyes when looking at him. A thin smile grew bolder on his lips as he gently squeezed my hand."Drew?" I let out a slight sigh as I looked at him. I honestly love to go with him, but I'm worried.As much as he hated to keep our relationship secret, he had no choice but to agree to what I wanted.This is what I want for us at the moment. I don't want to be the talk of the entire country. Bein

Chapter 26. In love

Beauty's POV . "My goodness, Beauty! The news all over about you and Drew is driving me insane!" He exclaimed in excitement. Bobita's eyes sparkled with joy, and the smile on his face was radiant. We are on a video call. I thought it would do his head in, but it was the opposite of what I expected. It seems like he was having a ball with what's happening over there. "Drew Mondragon is an ideal boyfriend for me, you know," his eyes sparkle, "Imagine? Tokyo escapade! How did he know that the media would haunt you? You should check your place, Beauty. There are many reporters outside, but luckily nobody was home." I was taken aback. My eyes widened in surprise. I never imagined that things would turn out this way. Oh, God, I hope my sister will not kill me for this. "Oh my, I hope my sister, Amalia, won't kill me," I uttered. "Don't worry, Beauty. She's busy at the moment, and I just finished talking to her.". It seems like your sister does not know what's happening around there.

Chapter 27. I love you

Beauty's POV . Drew's warm embrace makes me feel complete. He was late for our dinner, but still, I waited for him. I had nothing to eat because I wanted us to eat together. He gave me a quick kiss, and I could smell the alcohol around his lips. "I'm sorry, darling, it's hard to refuse the Japanese investors. We had a few drinks. That's why I didn't take you with me today because of this." His body deflated beside me, and his arms looped around my waist. He slightly rested his head on my shoulder and buried his face between my neck. "How did your meeting go? Is everything okay? Have you eaten?" I gently touched the side of his face while his eyes were closed. "Yeah, it was good." He tirelessly sighed. "I didn't eat anything because I wanted to have dinner with you after the meeting. But then we had a few drinks, and I was late. I'm sorry, Beauty. . . Have you eaten?" He is now looking at me in the eyes. "Not yet. I was waiting for you." We both look at the table ahead. I cover

Chapter 28. First Date

Beauty's POV . We roamed around the town and tasted different vendor foods on display. We tried the Sushi's on Sushi no Midori. It was good, and I ate a lot. Afterward, we walked around again, adoring each display, and trying different varieties of their delicacies. Drew is not fussy when it comes to this. I thought he would, but to my surprise, he can blend in well, even with the lowest living organism around. "Here, have this," he offered. I open my mouth as he feeds me the food by hand. "Hmm, this is good. Have you tried takuyaki balls?" I smiled while chewing. I felt the sauce on the side of my mouth and was about to lick it. But Drew was quick to wipe it for me using his hand. "Yes. It was my favorite when I was in secondary school. There was an authentic Japanese stall in front of the university, which was always busy during peak hours. The chief happens to be my buddy. She always packed a decent lunch for me." He winked wickedly. "She? Your buddy?" One of my eyebrows sl

Chapter 29. Marry me, I love you

Beauty's POV."What's your greatest dream?" Drew looked at me seriously. His eyes have no shadow, and what he asks hits me.I want to smile, but I can't force myself to do this. And instead of giving him the satisfactional answer he wants to hear, I choose to look away, avoiding his gaze."What about you? What's your greatest dream, Drew?" I asked, and my eyes were focused on the TV now.The smirking noise he let go started the tension between us. We both went quiet.There's a comfortable couch in a bed size behind us. We are leaning against it. I like sitting on the carpeted floor, expanding my feet, relaxing my body, and making myself comfortable like I am at home while watching TV. Drew joined in and sat down behind me in a spoon-cuddle position.He squeezed my body closer to his frame and rested his chin on my shoulder. I felt the tingling, warm sensation crawl inside me once again."To have a family with you, Beauty. . . . That's my dream. I want to be with you for the rest of m
