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

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

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

CLAIRE’s P.O.V. We decided to use Darren’s car instead of Kate’s. This is my first time going on a date with a third wheel. How can my old bestfriend endure all of this painful scenes? Does she really that good at keeping her feelings hidden?“So, where should we go?” Kate asked curiously.“I’ll bring my wife to a special place.” Darren reached and held my left hand. His other hand is still focus on the wheel. Though he didn’t look at my direction, I felt him squeezed my hand.“Where are we going exactly, Darren?” I asked, not wanting to waste another moment to find out the place. It was like he’s the one asking for the same exact question earlier and now I’m the one drowning myself into curiosity. He didn’t answer. He just gave a small kiss on the back of my hand he is

DARREN’s P.O.V. We decided to go home right after what happened to Kate. I don’t know why she’s being like this even though we barely even know each other. She look like a broken hearted gal, unable to control her emotions before running away from Claire and I.“So... What do we do now?” Claire asked out of nowhere.“Let’s see if she took her car from our house,” I answered as I started the engine. We drove home, still thinking about Kate. As we reached our mansion’s towering gates, I saw that Kate’s car wasn’t there anymore. Claire rushed outside of the car looking at our parking space.“Where is she?”“Don’t worry. I think she went home already.”“But what if...”“Calm down, wife.” I held her hand and she did calmed down.“Darren...&r
His Epitome Of Beauty CHAPTER 22: If You Fall, You Lose
CLAIRE’s P.O.V. If I fall, I lose. That’s the first thing I thought when I entered Darren’s world. But if it’s him, I’m willing to take the risk. Having him wasn’t so bad after all. Playing his game is worth it, I’ll admit it. And there’s so much more possibilities that’s waiting for the both of us. But one thing is for sure... And that is I already fallen in love with him.“Where have you been?” Dad asked, as soon as I stepped inside of our house. Thank God he’s fine now.“Uhm... Work?” I answered, unsure.“And what exactly is your work, Claire?” he asked, his voice was full of authority.“I’m still a teacher, Dad.”“Then who sent us those items?” He pointed towards our kitchen table, full of goods and other stuff.“I did.”“How come?”“Dad

CLAIRE’s P.O.V. I still couldn’t believe the fact that Elijah and Darren made me believed about that accident prank. But even so, I feel relieved seeing Darren standing at the hospital’s rooftop.“What are you thinking?” he asked, cutting the steaks for me.“Nothing... I just couldn’t believe that I bought that accident prank of yours.” He chuckled, raising the fork in front of my face.“Try this.” He smiled at me. I did as he said, and he’s right. The food taste so good and the meat melts in my mouth because of tenderness.“So?”“It’s good.” He played with my hair while staring intensely at me. I couldn’t help but to blush because of his actions.“Claire...”“H
