Special Chapter (The Last Chapter) Claus' Point of View "Seriously, Monteserio? You and Beautrin already have three children but...she still won't accept your proposal?" My jaw tensed at Ythan's teasing voice to me. I glared at him. Euler and Chaos just laughed. "How old is Indie again? She's eight years old. She's almost nine. And Saintesszia Coraline is already 1 year old. And now, she's pregnant with your third child, but you're still not married to her. Dang! You're so weak!" I winced at Ythan. This man's tongue is really carved differently. I gulped down a bottle of beer and slammed it down on the table. It's painful to hear Ythan say that my queen still don't want tl marry even though we already have about four babies. And do you even know what's more ironic? I don't even know what we really are. She let me touch her, kiss her, and make love with her but she couldn't even answer me even as a boyfriend first. In short, we don't have a fvcking label. I courted her, and asked
Prologue"They are getting married,"I looked away from the article I was reading. I sighed heavily before biting my lower lip. It's like something is blocking my chest that completely stopped me from breathing for a moment, and the lump in my throat is hurting me. Tears started to blur my eyes and I wasn't able to stop it when it finally fell on both of my cheeks. It hurts. So much. It was very painful. It's like my heart is being squeezed over and over again. I sighed heavily, hoping that I would calm down completely, but it didn't. I didn't. It's not working. Nothing's working because I'm still hurting.'Gosh, Oleya Beautrin San Diego!'I should put myself together, really! This is not me! I shouldn't be crying!I tried cheering myself up, thinking about some happy thoughts, but my cries only got louder. How can I fucking think about the happy thoughts when he's my happiness? Every time that I think about the happy thoughts, I always find myself hurting too.I'm hurt because I kn
Guilt"Cut! Let's take a break first!" Jade, the photographer shouted loudly as she looked at me with a frown on her face. I blinked a few times and sighed before slowly getting off the platform."What's with you today, Beautrin? You are not yourself. You are too preoccupied that you can't even pose for a nice shot!" She said irritatedly as soon as I got close. Miya, my manager and my friend immediately came to me and immediately grabbed my arm.I sighed.I know how much I've disappointed the whole team today. I'm also disappointed at myself, but I can't seem to focus today. I can't seem to function well, especially since the events from what happened that night are still replaying over and over again inside my head."You disappointed us today, Trin. You should fix this. We are in a hurry.""Jade please, let's let Beautrin rest. She's just stressed out." Miya commented. Jade gave me a sharp look before turning her back at us.Miya pulled me inside the dressing room. When we were alone
LoathDays passed like a blur.It's been weeks since something happened between me and Claus and all I did was to reminisce every bit of it like it just happened yesterday. I can't seem to forget it.I badly want to talk to Claus. But...what if he doesn't remember, right? Because he was too drunk that night and I doubt if he can remember every piece of what happened to us.Shit!I'm going crazy! I don't know what to do anymore, and I feel like I can't face my twin just the same knowing that I had sex with her fiancee! "Tomorrow will be a busy day, Trin. We have a tight schedule so it's better if you rest first."I sighed. "It's okay Miya. I'm used to it.""No. You're going to go home to your condo early and rest. I don't want you to be in the middle of the shoot and space out like a mad girl again. " I sighed again. I didn't complain anymore because I feel like I didn't have enough energy to fight with this girl. She's as hardheaded as me.The service van brought me to my condo. I di
Ring"Your mother called," Miya showed me her phone. I raised my brow at her. "You're coming to the dinner later? With your family and the Monteserio's?"Monteserio. I shook my head. There's no way in hell that I will dine with that f-cking family."Tell her I'm busy." I coldly said. Miya doubtfully looked at me. I know she is confused as to why I declined the invitation."Are you sure?" She taunted with a grimace on her face. Clearly not sure of what I said. She knows that I am slave to my own parents. I sighed and nodded before lying on my bed. I took a break for work. I don't know how long it should be, but I know that this would really take longer. Or I can't even call this a break. I just want to rest. "It's your Mom, Trin." Miya said while looking at me. I just raised my brow again. And if it's Mom? What should I do? Nothing. I don't want to face any of them because I don't want to be more stressed.They will invite me for dinner and what? Embarrass me in front of everyone. T
TruthBefore the two, Tammy and Miya, could return to our table, I immediately fixed myself. I plastered my smile while they were approaching. The two are still glaring at each other which made me laugh a little bit. "My God, Tamia! She looks like a fool while dancing in front! Not even on beat. It's embarrassing." Miya said with a frown on her face before sitting next to me."Shut up. You're trying your hard in pretending that you're demure, but it's obvious from your face that you're not. It's a bar, so I'm probably going to dance. And no one should care whether I'm on the beat or not." Tamia took a sip of the vodka she was holding. I just shook my head, a small smile on my lips is clear. Seeing both of them makes me happy. They are one of my allies who truly love and care for me. They were there when I needed them the most. They are here, by my side, when the world's turning its back against me. They are the ones who stayed. And seeing them, with me, makes my heart warm. I wasn'
Shoot"I don't know what's happening to you anymore, Beautrin! Your twin wanted you to join us for dinner but you keep on declining! Don't embarrass us with the Monteserios, Beautrin!"Early in the morning and Mom's call immediately ruined my day."Get it right Beautrin! We didn't raise you to be rude!" I bit my lower lip, slightly rolling my eyes heavenwards. Mom is really confident in saying that they didn't raise me to be rude, when they weren't there when I was growing up in the first place. I raised myself! That's the right thing to say because from the very beginning, they didn't give me any attention unless it's Beatriz."I'm busy." I coldly promise. I yawned before getting out of bed."Busy!" she scoffed on the other line. I can almost see how disgusted her looks are right now. "Busy with what?! With your stupid work?!"Stupid. Wow. Easy for her to say that I've chosen something stupid. Am I really their child?When I couldn't stand her scolding voice, I immediately hung up. I
Party"Shot!"Instead of going straight to the coffee shop, we ended up inside a bar. It's called Catastrophe. This is a place where the rich people usually go. Most of the customers here are elites and those who have a say in the society. Let's say a name. A high profiled name. "Why don't you drink?" Fabio gave me the glass with just a drink but I shook my head. "You don't drink?" he slightly raised his brow at me. He was sitting on my left while Miya was on my right. We are facing the Coleridge brothers, the owner of Devil's Glass, the liquor that I am currently modeling with Xander, Brandon, and Fabio. Xander and Brandon aren't here. They said they had something to do now so they didn't come with us."I drink, but just not now. I don't feel like doing it right now." I said with a smile. Fabio is actually a gentleman. Well, he's a little bit flirty but tolerable. I think that it's just really his nature. It's his thing. Fabio's a bit tanned and muscular. His muscles are almost bu
