The next day, Beauty woke up early, though it felt like she hadn't slept at all. She had tossed and turned through the night, her mind a swirl of thoughts and frustrations.Bruno had moved on so easily, and that thought alone left her feeling heartbroken.To make things worse, her mother kept bringing up Eric, talking about how handsome he was and how they would make a nice couple.Could Eric really be the one who has been sending those gifts and supportive notes? Beauty wondered.She had tried asking Bruno once, and he had said the gifts were from him. But now, thinking back on it, maybe he said it just to take credit for something sweet.Bruno isn't that type of person, she thought.Her phone rang, interrupting her thoughts. It was Jessie calling.She sighed and answered on the second ring."Hello...""How are you feeling?" Jessie asked softly."Better. Thanks for yesterday. I'll be on my way to the company soon," Beauty replied."All right. I'll see you soon. Take care," Jessie sai
She found Bruno and Kathy in an awkward, close position that looked somehow intimate.Kathy's hands rested on Bruno's shoulder, her lips near his ear while his hand lightly clasped her wrist. Beauty was unsure if he was putting them on her or about to put them away from her.For Bruno to let Kathy get that close to him, something must be going on between them. Kathy may be a desperate type, but still, Bruno had kept his distance until now.Is he trying to move on with Kathy? Why Kathy?Kathy's eyes met Beauty's wet ones, and she smirked."Well," Kathy drawled, "how may we help you?"Beauty swallowed, fighting to keep her composure. She turned to Bruno, ignoring Kathy completely."Sir Bruno, may I speak with you privately? Could she excuse us?"The fact that she referred to him as Sir Bruno triggered him. But he had to swallow it anyway; he was the one who said they were over with the relationship between them.However, it seemed like she was moving ahead very fast. Too fast for him to
Kathy turned to her, a bit surprised by the tone in her voice. She found Beauty smiling."Oh, I see, trying to seduce Mr. Bruno has given you some boldness.""You are just mad; I am better at it than you. You have been trying to seduce Mr. Bruno... well, you should stop forcing it. He just doesn't like you... he doesn't like skinny," Beauty replied boldly, giving her a look.Kathy scoffed, a bit triggered."I am not doubting it. You should walk the runway better too; I am sure people would love to see a hippopotamus on the runway."Beauty smirked."They can handle it; a walking skeleton is a lot scarier and weird."That triggered her even more."I am sure you are not referring to me as a skeleton, darling. You better not want to be my enemy.""I would never be your friend. I will take being your enemy as a compliment, and before you threaten me, you should eat more; I did crush you with my weight.""Oh, I see you've been taking therapy sessions. Someone must have told you that you are
A few of them coughed to cover their chuckles, while others glanced at each other, sharing silent gossip with raised eyebrows but tightly pressed lips to keep from laughing out loud.Kathy stormed toward Bruno's office to report, her broken heel causing her to limp slightly."It wasn't even a fair fight. She knew she was going to win with that stinking weight," she muttered to herself."She will pay for the damages. I'll make sure she pays for every damn scratch on my skin!"Without a second thought, she flung open Bruno's office door, limping inside and slamming it behind her.Bruno looked up, startled. He stared at her, from her disheveled hair to her missing shoe, with her toe pressing on the ground and the sole barely hanging on."Halloween costume?""Haha, funny!" she snapped back, tears glistening in her eyes."What... what happened to you? I am absolutely speechless," Bruno said, trying hard to keep from laughing."That monster you call an employee! That fat whale, Beauty, atta
"I can't do anything if you don't tell me the truth. What brought about this fight between you two?"Kathy rolled her eyes, avoiding his gaze. "Well, maybe she just couldn't handle the truth."Bruno looked up, now serious."The truth? What 'truth' did you tell her?"Kathy went silent, clearly realizing she'd said too much. She shifted uncomfortably, looking frustrated but unable to respond.Bruno felt a pang of concern, imagining Beauty being emotionally abused by Kathy."You abused her again, didn't you? And then you two fought?""It wasn't even a fight. She hit me before I could see clearly-I was on the floor. She may look innocent and like the victim, but she is a monster! She's just... jealous because we're together."Bruno's jaw dropped."Hold on-are you saying she hit you because she was jealous?""Yes!" Kathy snapped."Well, that's interesting. It made my day... much, much better..." He smirked."What are you talking about?" Kathy replied impatiently."I mean, knowing that Beau
As Beauty walked back to her desk, the only thing ringing in her mind was Bruno's words."Good luck."Just good luck!Well, what was I expecting?He will kneel down and ask me not to leave him?Suddenly, she noticed the whispers and glances from her colleagues. It was clear the whole department had heard about the confrontation with Kathy. She drew a deep breath and managed to walk to her office desk with her head held high, pretending not to notice, but inside, she felt both a bit embarrassed and oddly proud.She took her pieces of design and started working on her rough stitches."Beauty!"Jessie's voice distracted her focus, and she almost poked her skin with a needle.Jessie came rushing over to her, grinning from ear to ear."Beauty! I heard what happened," she whispered excitedly, barely able to contain herself. "Finally stood up to her. I am so proud. You should see how the pest was crying in the department. She will respect you from now on."Beauty sighed, opened her mouth, b
"Oh, really? Can you see? She's threatening to do more," Kathy snapped."Ms. Kathy! Listen," Ferdinand yelled in annoyance."This is not the time for your tantrums and IT girl special treatment. This meeting is for the upcoming tour. I will ask you to keep quiet and focus on the meeting.""You're embarrassing me in front of everyone! This is not how you handle things! This isn't fair! Y'all hate me because I am pretty. You think that I can't be the victim?" Kathy snapped back.Jessie scoffed and rolled her eyes.The meeting continued, with Ferdinand moving on to the next agenda item, and everyone's attention focused on their preparations, ignoring Kathy.She sat there, grumpy and muttering words to herself."I am sure she is crying inside right now, poor thing ... knowing that these two dated in the past made it so much more satisfying," Jessie whispered to Beauty and laughed quietly.Beauty looked toward Kathy's direction; seeing her cry silently made her feel a little guilty.She is
On Monday morning, Beauty woke up early, dressed for work, and checked her notifications as she grabbed her phone."This week is our trip! To Puerto Rico!" flashed across the company's group chat.Panic set in as she scrolled further, realizing she'd missed yesterday's online meeting.Ferd is going to kill me.Quickly grabbing her bag, she hurried outside to catch a cab. A speeding one finally slowed down, and the driver rolled down his window.Leaning forward, she requested, "Hathaway F&F Company, please.""You know the price," he replied with a smirk, opening the door."Sure, thanks," she said, hopping in as he sped off.At the company entrance, she arrived just in time to see Bruno stepping out of his car. She immediately pretended not to notice him, casting her gaze anywhere but in his direction. She watched as his assistant took his suitcase, and his bodyguard followed him toward the entrance, a perfect picture of confidence.Ugh, why does he have to look so good?Beauty sighed,
Beauty got down from the bed, her bare ass jiggling as she walked over to Bruno, who stood with his poor virgin shaft throbbing endlessly."It's my turn; that must be painful by now," she whispered huskily into his ear.Then she kissed him before pushing him down on the bed. Bruno sat there, his heart suddenly racing in anticipation.She tied up her hair and knelt down before him.It stood taller than her face, which made her eyes widen at the weird sight."It's so big... like it grew. Can I touch it?""What the fuck... (chuckles) Baby... it's been yours only since the reunion night... do you like it?"He whispered the last words, his fingers clenched nervously.His breath was heavy; he could feel his shaft begging to offload its load as soon as she made contact."Do I like it?"Beauty whispered and touched the side of his shaft with the most tentative of touches with the tip of her finger.Gently, she ran her finger along the thick, angry vein that traveled down his shaft to the base
"Am I doing it right?" he murmured, staring at the beautiful flower made by the blades of her inner lips and her round, dark pink feminine hole, shiny with his saliva."Yee...esss...please continue," she trembled.The hell is he asking that for? How is it important now? Besides, she is yet to experience this... she fucking loves it! Beauty thought.Nestling under the neatly trimmed V of her pubic hair, her clitoris peeked out from its cover, a tiny pink button. Spreading her lips again, Bruno stuck out his tongue and ate from the bottom of her gash slowly up to the top, flicking at her clit.Beauty squealed loudly at the contact."Ohhh fuck... yesssss!... Stop!" she giggled.Bruno stopped and looked into her eyes, confused and curious."Do you want me to stop?""Hell no... it's just your beard really tickles," she giggled again.Bruno wasn't planning to stop anyway."Okay... then," he replied, and his head dipped down.He slowly licked again from bottom to top, top to bottom, and back
With arched brows, she typed her own tweet.@Shelley_cherry"To all the toxic Bruno fans hating on Beauty Hills: She is very beautiful, and you know that. Y'all are just jealous because Bruno loves her. Give her a break. I love Bruno too, but I will support them."She posted and sighed heavily, with her eyes closed._________As they pushed through the presidential suite door, their breaths heavy and hearts racing, there was no holding back.Bruno pushed the door shut with his foot, pulling Beauty close, and their lips met in a kiss that was fierce and unrestrained, filled with the energy of everything they'd held back in the car until now.Bruno was out of control, and Beauty led him on.She barely had time to catch her breath before his hands were all over her. His hands moved to Beauty's waist, pulling her close as her fingers tangled in his hair, deepening the kiss with an intensity that left them both breathless.Bruno's fingers trailed to the zipper of her dress, lowering it in
Shelley was sitting at her mother's bedside. It will be alright, she always told herself, but the fear that she would lose her mother was greater than the hope that she could survive this.She felt a tear drop down her cheek. She might not be her biological mother, but it was still heartbreaking and hurt so badly. She was the mother she knew, and no one could replace her.After checking her mom's temperature and making sure she was comfortable, Shelley scrolled through her phone, needing a quick distraction from her anxiety and worries.She absentmindedly tapped open Twitter, where her timeline was buzzing with trending topics.Bruno Hathaway's girlfriend revealed!Bruno Announces Relationship with Beauty Hills!There were many of them! If it was confirmed, her chance was zero if he was in a relationship.Her heart skipped, and disappointment went straight to her heart and crushed it.He was dating someone?The feeling was ridiculous, she knew; he was a celebrity she'd never met, and
Mrs. Lola spotted them just as they were sneak away from the party."Where is he going?" she murmured under her breath.Her niece, Elena, looked up for the first time since her sadness over Bruno."I will be right back," Mrs. Lola said and wove through the throngs of people, catching up to them just before they reached the door."Bruno! Wait a second!" she called, slightly breathless.Bruno paused and cursed to himself; he knew she would do this."My God, the party's not over yet! Everyone's still here, and they're dying to spend more time with you!" Mrs. Lola said.Bruno turned to her with a polite expression. He knew Lola had put her heart into organizing this event, and he appreciated her, but he also needed a moment with Beauty."I know, Lola," he replied, his voice steady but kind. "It's been a fantastic night, really. But I just need some quiet time with Beauty now. I'm sure you understand."Mrs. Lola glanced from him to Beauty, whose cheeks were burning. Her gaze shifted downwa
The room fell into stunned silence, each face frozen in shock as Jessie's boom echoed through the room."Well, this is getting interesting."Kathy murmured."Out of all the women ... he chose her?" a voice whispered."Well, she's beautiful," someone else replied.Elena's face was drained of color.She took a step back, her eyes flicking between Bruno and Beauty.Bruno's hand still held Beauty's arm gently. Beauty could feel her heart racing. She wasn't sure if she'd heard him correctly or not.Until Bruno looked her straight in the eyes.His fingers brushed her cheek, and she felt the softest touch as he wiped away the stray tear that had slipped down.His touch didn't just silence the room; it silenced every insecurity that had haunted her the past few minutes."Bruno," she whispered.She wanted to thank him, to ask if he really meant it, but no words came out.However, Elena was there to ask on her behalf."You don't actually mean that, right?This must be a joke."She chuckled awkw
Elena's face twisted in shock, her mouth opening as she stepped back.Kathy and the F&F team members in the room glanced at each other like they shared a secret message."Is that not Beauty?"Lola Cruz's team member, asked."Designer Beauty kissing Sir Bruno?" an F&F model added."Well, I knew this would happen," Kathy murmured, rolling her eyes and taking a sip of her drink.The room fell silent for a moment before shocked gasps and murmurs rippled through the air."Who is she?""Where are the security guards? This is a crazy fan.""She is too big; she's going to swallow him up."Beauty heard the last comment, snapping her back to reality. She pulled back and looked around.The cameras were flashing. None of the faces looked excited or impressed-they were filled with disgust.She looked at Bruno, he had his hand over his mouth, eyes down, like he would puke. He hated her that much?Why did she think this was a great idea? She slapped him back when he kissed her without a proper apolo
She could see the giant throne chair, the cake, but not the celebrant. He was tall enough to be noticed.Before long, she heard cheering at the center of the hall. She hoped it was who she was looking for."We have a surprise artist in the building tonight, ladies and gentlemen! Welcome, Luis Fonsi!"The DJ announced, calling all attention.The guests went crazy as the artist started performing his famous song, Despacito.Jessie let out a squeal, tugging Beauty's arm."Oh my goodness! I love him!"Beauty smiled, amused at Jessie's excitement.Jessie sang along enthusiastically, losing herself in the lyrics as Fonsi worked the crowd with a charismatic grin.Beauty glanced back at the center of the room and finally spotted Bruno, dancing with a woman with a stunning figure, moving her hips to the music and giggling at Bruno. They were surrounded by an admiring crowd. A knot of jealousy tightened in her stomach. She couldn't look away, her wet eyes fixed on Bruno and Elena as they swayed
EAST ASIAShelly adjusted the blankets around her mother, who lay on the bed sick and bald. She was just finishing her mother's tea when her phone buzzed, the screen lighting up with a notification-a trending video of Bruno's pre-birthday bash in San Juan, Puerto Rico."Mr. Bruno? But it's not his birthday yet."She scrolled through the feed and found out it was a pre-birthday party organized for his Puerto Rico fans. She let out a sigh, a tight feeling of disappointment settling in her chest.Her mother opened her eyes slowly, noticing Shelly's expression. Gently, she reached out and placed her hand over Shelly's."What's wrong, dear?"Shelly forced a small smile, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear."It's nothing, Mom. Just... just Bruno Hathaway, the guy, you know... I told you I had a crush on. He's having this big pre-birthday party in Puerto Rico, that's all."Her mother's eyes lowered sadly."You should be there, if you didn't need to take care of me. I know how much you l
