CHAPTER 11: Old Friend
CLAIRE’s P.O.V.
I wake up at the smell of roasted bacon and garlic fried rice. What a great way to start anyone’s morning. I slowly sit up from laying down the bed. Darren’s not in this room anymore.
I decided to use his bathroom since he’s not here and I wanted to prepared myself before seeing his Dad. I grabbed my towel and toiletries before opening the bathroom door.
“What the hell?!” It was Darren, half naked.
My eyes widen as I saw his wet masculine body. The water streaming down from the shower also make an intense effect to the view I am seeing right now. I can’t help but to bit my lower lip.
“I’m s-sorry.” I stood there like a statue, unable to move my feet.
“Stop watching!”
I closed my eyes shut and run as fast as I can away from him. I slapped my

CLAIRE’s P.O.V.“So... Who’s Gabriel?” he asked, looking at me while patting a bag of ice on my cheek.“Do we really need to talk about this right now?”“It’s fine if you don’t wanna answer my question. I’m just... Curious.”“Why are you so curious about it, anyway?”“Hmm... Just look at what happened, Claire. If only I knew about this earlier, we could have avoided that scenario at the office.”“It’s your fault. You didn’t tell me that you’re engaged to Kate. You should have told me that at the first place.”“Okay... I’m sorry. I just didn’t know that you two have already met before.”“She’s my high school bestfriend...”“So what’s the story between you two? I’m badly curious about it. Don’t you think I deserves to know the truth after w
His Epitome Of Beauty CHAPTER 13: Meet The Parents
CLAIRE’s P.O.V. After lunch, I still couldn’t compose myself properly. Darren and I bid our goodbyes to Alexa before deciding to leave. I just let our Dad sleep as much as he wanted and we didn’t bother to wake him up. He needs to rest as much as possible.“Stiff at my presence?” Darren arrogantly asked while driving his car. I didn’t answer. I just rolled my eyes on him instead.“Don’t worry. Whatever it is that I’ve said earlier, it was all for a show.” I was stunned for a moment. I shook my head at how stupid I am to believe in his lies. He’s right, everything that we’re doing is only for a show. For the sake of our fake marriage.“Are you alright?” He sounds worried but maybe I was just assuming and imagining things again.&l

CLAIRE’s P.O.V.“Knock-knock!” Alexa and I turned our gazed at the door, where a man is currently standing while looking at us. He grinned before waving a tons of shopping bags at our faces.“Darren... You’re here... Again.”“Looks like you don’t want me to be here.”“Well, if Claire doesn’t want you to be here, then you can visit me. I would like you to be always here in our hospital room,” Alexa stated as she run towards him.“Hey... I bought something for you,” Darren smiled widely at her before giving her almost half of the bags he had. Alexa happily took it all before thanking him. She opened the bags and surprise was all over her face. It was full of branded clothes, chocolates, toys, and more. I could see the happiness in her eyes.“Thank you so much, Darren!” She hugged
His Epitome Of Beauty CHAPTER 15: His Approval
DARREN’s P.O.V.“Hey, bro,” I could feel the sleepiness in Elijah’s voice.“Hey...” I smile for apparently no reason.“Why did you call me at the middle of the night?” he asked.“Nothing... I just... I couldn’t sleep.”“Why? Is this about Teacher Claire?”“How did you know that?!” I sit up from laying on my bed.“I can sense your happiness over here.” He chuckled. “Claire was just like that earlier this morning. I often caught her smiling to herself while we’re at work.” It felt nice to heard those words coming from Elijah. Thanks to him, I could finally sleep now knowing that our feelings are mutual.“Bro, you two are in love!” he shouted at his phone. I pulled mine away from my ears because of his high pitched voice. Is he reall
His Epitome Of Beauty CHAPTER 16: Acting Skills
CLAIRE’s P.O.V. I was dumbfounded when I saw Darren inside of the teacher’s lounge. I am supposed to be packing my things up right now so that I can go home early. But I couldn’t, because he was sleeping peacefully at my chair and I didn’t wanna ruin this beautiful view.“I don’t know why I keep holding on to this stupid deal... But I know one thing’s for sure... I don’t want to end this set up of ours... Not yet...” After I whispered those words, I saw him slowly opened his eyes.“Hey,” he greeted me with a smile.“What do you think you’re doing here, Mr. Herrera?” I questioned him. He chuckled before getting up into a sitting position.“What’s with the attitude?” he asked, confused. I rolled my eyes on him before gr
His Epitome Of Beauty CHAPTER 17: High School Reunion
DARREN’s P.O.V. Weeks passed. Right now I’m preparing myself for Claire and Elijah’s high school reunion. Later today, I will finally meet that guy named Gabriel. I’ll admit it, I am badly curious about him. I badly wanted to saw his face and how he act towards my wife. Yes, my wife. I’m claiming Claire as my property. I dialed her number out of excitement. Luckily, she answered my call after a several numbers of rings. I couldn’t say a word because nervousness suddenly invaded my system as soon as I heard her voice.“Hello?”“It felt nice to hear your voice,” I complimented. I smile unconsciously as I heard her chuckled on the other line of the phone.“Are you ready? I’m gonna fetch you up later. Just wait for me, okay?”“Yeah, yeah. Whatever, Mr. Herrera. Why di

CLAIRE’s P.O.V. Although I already knew he’s coming, I’m still shocked when I saw his face again. After all these years. I finally meet the man whom I entrusted my bestfriend’s heart, but ended up liking me. The reason why everything about me and Kate faded away. The reason behind why my previous friend loathed me the most.“Are you alright?” Darren asked, looking worried at me.“Y-yeah.”“Are you sure? You look stunned. I could take you home if you wanted.”“No, no. I’m fine. As if I’m still affected by the past. Don’t worry, Darren. I can handle this. And besides, Kate is here. I highly doubt that Gabriel could even talk to me.”“You sound disappointed.”“I am not!” I answered too quickly. Darren averted his gaze towards the stage. I saw him sent death raging
His Epitome Of Beauty CHAPTER 19: Uninvited Visitor
CLAIRE’s P.O.V. I look at the yellowish bruise at my arm. It’s been a week since Darren and I fought. Ever since that day, we never talked. Elijah wasn’t telling me anything about him either. I feel lost... Not knowing what do to next after that day until now.“Okay, class dismissed,” I announced after seeing the time on the clock hanging by the wall.“Bye, Teacher Claire!”“See you tomorrow!” I gladly waved back at those students who smiled widely at me while making their way out of the classroom. One of the reason why I chose to be a teacher is that because children can temporarily relief the tension and sadness. The smile on their cute little faces will make anyone’s heart melt in awe.“Claire!” I saw Elijah running towards me, looking worried.“What?” A
