CHAPTER 49: Finally Home
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&
His Epitome Of Beauty CHAPTER 03: Arranged Marriage
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’
His Epitome Of Beauty CHAPTER 04: The Plan
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
His Epitome Of Beauty CHAPTER 05: Anything?
CLAIRE’s P.O.V. After stirring my coffee, I inhaled the rich aroma coming from the black hot liquid inside of the cup. I savour the bittersweet taste before I came back to my senses. I need to start walking from our house to the school building that I was working at now.“Alexa? Did Dad already took his meds?” I called out to my little sister.“He’s done!” she proudly stated, revealing a thumbs up out of her tiny fingers.“Please take care of him. I’m gonna go to work now. I’ll be back soon.” I kissed the top of her forehead before picking up my stuffs from the small chair behind our door. I sighed as I started walking towards our school. Our life may not be as good as others but I can proudly say that I worked very hard to provide our daily needs. There’s no shame in that. And one more thing, I
His Epitome Of Beauty CHAPTER 06: The Offer
CLAIRE’s P.O.V After my class, I went to the teacher’s lounge to meet Teacher Elijah. I thought I was late but when I saw him standing there, flashing a nervous smile, I instantly know that something was up.“Hey. Why are you smiling like that?” I suspiciously asked.“Nothing. Maybe we should go. My friend was already waiting for you.” I nodded before motioning him to start walking. I can’t help but to think that Elijah was hiding something from me. What’s the deal with this guy?“Are you really sure about this, Claire?” he asked, for several times I guess.“Yeah. But if you’re hesitating like that, there’s a higher chance that I will cancel this meeting.”“I’m sorry for being uneasy. I’m just nervous. Anyways, let’s go.” We got insid
His Epitome Of Beauty CHAPTER 07: Heart Disease
CLAIRE’s P.O.V.“Are you okay? You want me to get you a food or something?” Elijah asked me, for a hundred times I think.“I’m fine, Elij. You can leave us here. I know you’re tired. Get some sleep. I can handle this.”“Are you sure?” He looked at me, worried.“Yeah. And thank you for helping us.” He nodded before walking towards Alexa.“Hey,” I heard him greeted my little sister. Alexa just smiled at him. A few moments later, after he realized that my sister wasn’t planning to say a word or anything, he just tap her head before saying goodbye.“Bye, Alexa. Bye, Claire.” He waved at me and I waved back. As soon as he was out of sight, Alexa came near me and hugged my legs. I instantly knew that she’s crying because my jeans was starting to
