FINDING TRUE LOVE(Beyond Beauty)
“When you’re done shedding your tears, don’t forget to close the door behind you.” Those cold disdainful words shattered Starr’s world.
Fleeing the scene of her lover’s betrayal, she is left ruined and wrecked by the man she once trusted, who now lies in bed with another woman, indifferent to the pain he has caused.
Starr had poured her heart and all into building a life with Charles, only to discover that her love and sacrifices were used to build a life that she was never included in. Betrayed and broken, she learns that Charles only saw her as a way out of poverty and a means to support his true love and their unborn child.
Determined to reclaim her life and shut out the pain, Starr seizes an opportunity to start over in France, taking a job offer from her boss that promises a fresh beginning. But as she navigates this new chapter, the wounds of her past linger. Can Starr truly move on and find the love she deserves, or will the scars of betrayal keep her heart closed forever?

Chapter: CHAPTER 99Should I be scared? That was the only question that reeled through my mind as my heart began to pound really fast.“Congratulations Starr. I’m so happy for you.” She commented immediately she pulled back with a huge smile that somehow plastered on her face.I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me she was feigning it. Clearly, it is fake.“Thank you, babe.” My hands found hers as I rubbed on it with the ring grazing her eyes.She wouldn’t stop looking at it till a hand snuck into my waist from behind and plastered a short, alluring kiss on my neck. “Come on, let’s go sit.” Seven motioned, and everyone quickly found their way to their seats.Teases and conversations cut through the hair with a little of mockery to Jude who’s secretly pursuing a girl. Chris found out and ever since we started eating, he hasn’t stopped mentioning the girl’s name and how stubborn she is to Jude earning laughs at intervals from all of us.“Man, come on, that’s enough.” Gab interfered and everyone bursted into

Chapter: CHAPTER 98“Baby…” He began, pausing briefly to check my expression before continuing.I took in a deep breath as I continued to stare without taking a leap of break for a second. My eyes were just fixed.“From the very first moment I laid my eyes on you, I knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you.”For a moment, I shook my head and blinked my eyes repeatedly as I continued to jog my memory, wondering if the cold has finally found a way to sway into my small head and I was imagining things.In that process, I turned around to stare at everyone in the restaurant, and I then noticed that the covered board had been opened.The silky cloth cover was gone, and it was decorated with, “Marry me, please.” And lots of balloons.My hands found my mouth to hold it from squealing.But I flashed him a small smile to see if it was real. “Starr, I cannot imagine a day go without you by my side. You’re everything I’ve ever wished for.”Smiling widely as a tear fall from my eyes. “You’re so beaut

Chapter: CHAPTER 97•••••••••••••••••FOUR MONTHS LATER⏰Steadying my trembling fingers, I applied Seven’s favorite lipstick, just as Lizzy instructed.I sighed for the fourth time since I lowered my butt on this chair.“Argh,”… I whimpered since I couldn’t still get it right even after trying for the third time.Currently, I was trying to draw my brows. Boss Lizzy said I had to put on makeup to wherever she was taking me. I was consumed by ultimate complaint when she stormed into my room, annoyance evident on her beautiful face.She has made herself up too and suggested that I do the same too, but I refused and after much argument, I placed my butt on the chair and started doing what I didn’t know.“Give me that.” She grabbed the eye pencil while I chuckled and placed my hands on her ass, settling my face properly for her to do it.The one I knew how to do was a neutral one, but for some reasons unknown to me, she said she wanted something different tonight.“Okay, Elizabeth, I don’t want to look good

Chapter: CHAPTER 96The room atmosphere wasn’t awkward because everyone felt love was present until Ella spoke up.“Uh…. Starr, what did the doctor say? Is it your normal illness that made you sick?”Then Seven chipped in with Lizzy’s and Tania’s eyes roaming to everyone’s faces. “Yeah, she had a little head concoction. The doc said it’s because of her memory loss. Her lost memories are probably fighting their way back and she took her drugs without eating, too.” He explained, and Ella crinkled her face like she doesn’t know everyone is trying to hide it from him.“Really? Memory loss? I thought it was……”I quickly chipped in, glaring hard at Ella with a pleading gaze. “Yes, it was memory loss.”“Really, Starr?” She inquired again, her face filled with a wicked glare.My gaze went to Seven’s immediately. He leaned forward from his chair, suddenly interested in what was going on. “What do you mean by that, Ella? Or is there something else?”“Baby…” I trailed off.“Ella, can you please stop that?” Lizzy qu

Chapter: CHAPTER 95My pale face stared back at him till I found the least of my courage and finally said something. Though my voice was a little low but sharp. “Is everything okay?”His face was still as straight as a frame till he bent his head momentarily, flipped his wet tongue over his full lips, and spoke to me. “You tell me.”That was all I needed to hear for my heart to pound faster. My heart began to race as I stared at him before shrugging my shoulders to act nonchalant. “I don’t understand.”Every minute that passed with the eerie silence he pushed felt like a sword piercing through my heart, as I couldn’t wait to hear what he had known.He lowered his head again, temporarily. Down to his folded hands before fixing it back in my direction. “The doctor instructed that your drugs should be taken with food, and this morning you took it without eating.”I arched my brows as he let that half out, waiting for him to continue, but he took a pause. “Starr, when were you going to tell me you have issue

Chapter: CHAPTER 94I snapped my eyes open, moving my fingers to trace the blood. Not knowing what to do, I plastered a small smile on my face before I narrowed my eyes to meet his worried face.“I’ll be fine.” I muttered as I tried to take another step, but stopped abruptly the moment I saw the entire room rolling in circles.Hearing his voice that sounded distant, I knew I’d be on the floor any moment from now. “Baby, hold on a minute. I’ll get my car keys and take you to a hospital.” His shaky voice cut through the air.My hands clenched into a fist as I hastily shook my head in disapproval. “No. no. Babe, I’m fine.”Swiftly, he leaned closer and held me by my waist to grip me. “I’m definitely taking you to the hospital right now.” He urged, his tone filled with command as it echoed adamantly.My hands that laid on his arms fell in defeat as realization hit me that he would definitely not take no for an answer, especially in this condition of mine.So I nodded my head in approval as he motioned that I
