Chapter 21. Escape

Betty's POV.I feel like a worm that has been salted—uncomfortable in what I’m wearing. The skimpy dress clings tightly to my body. It's too short, and my legs are too exposed. I'm not used to wearing a dress like this. It feels like if I bend over, I might expose myself. I keep pulling it down, trying to stretch the material to cover more."Look at you. You're so pretty, Betty! My God, Drake is so lucky to have you."I force a smile at Carmella. Her eyes sparkle as she takes in my entire outfit."I'm honestly uncomfortable with this, Carmella. Do you have another dress that could cover my legs?""No, I don't have anything, and I suggest you keep that dress. You look beautiful in it.""You think so?" I replied, feeling uncertain."Yes, you do, Betty." She leveled her gaze at me, standing a bit taller."Tell me, Betty, when was the last time you went out and partied?"I shook my head slightly.It's embarrassing to admit, but I've never been to a night party. I have no experience with

Chapter 22. Frog Prince

Betty's POV"Are you sure this is going to be okay, Carmella? We should tell Drake."“What?” she laughs as we sit inside the taxi heading to the bar."You don’t know Drake, Betty. He can be very protective and possessive at times. It’s better not to tell him where we are going. He will find us later anyway. Don't worry.""He will? How?" I ask, staring at Carmella in confusion."There's nothing Drake can't do. I've experienced this before, and no matter where I go, he always finds me. So don't worry. You'll be surprised later. But before that, let's have some fun first!""O-Okay..." I pull down the side of my dress again."What does Drake do in Italy, Carmella?""Oh, well, he manages some businesses over there. He’s quite good at it! He even managed the businesses of the person he was in love with back then. It was so foolish of him. Drake is such a fool when it comes to love. He’s not the type to give up easily if he cares for someone. He will walk with you until the end of your journ

Chapter 23. My frog prince

Betty's POVSomeone rescued me just in time."I'm sorry…""It's alright. Are you okay?""Y-Yes, I'm good."He helped me sit back down and knelt in front of me, looking at my feet.I felt dizzy. I thought I was okay, but I was wrong; the drink was too strong, and I lost my balance."Ouch..." I wiggled my right foot and felt a slight pain in my ankle."You sprained your foot. Let me help you a little bit."He smiles when our eyes meet, and it's an enchanting smile—handsome and neat in every way.He’s the complete opposite of Drake, with no tattoos on his hands or neck. His hair is slightly disheveled, and his tie hangs loosely. I feel the warmth of his hand as he unexpectedly takes hold of my foot and twists it."Ouch!" I bit my lower lip when I felt it."It's better now," he said, releasing my foot so I could wiggle it."Yeah, that fixed it. Thank you," I replied with a smile.He stood up, and I looked up at him. He was tall."Glenn Mondragon," he said as he extended his hand for a han

Chapter 24. Embarrass

Betty's POV I open my eyes, feeling a bit groggy. I roll over and reach for my pillow, covering my face with it.What did I do last night? Why does my head feel like it's going to split in two?Oh, right, I remember now. Carmella and I went out partying. I can’t help but chuckle as I think about what she said regarding the frog prince."My frog prince..." I bite my lower lip, thinking about it. I can still feel his lips on mine, and it feels wonderful."My frog prince?" Automatically, my eyes open and my body jerks up."Drake?"My heart races as if I've run a marathon. I remember what happened. Drake kissed me!"Oh, God."I rub my eyes and look around. My face is flushed red, and everything around me feels unfamiliar."Hang on, where am I?"The room is partially dark, but light filters through the drapes outside. There’s no clock on the wall, which gives the space a cave-like feeling. A masculine and alluring scent of aftershave lingers in the air until my gaze falls on several large

Chapter 25. New Journey

Betty's POV .No, I don’t want to think about it. Today is my graduation day, and I will focus on that!After I shower and get cleaned up, I put on my uniform. Mass starts at 8 AM, so we still have an hour to go. Mom and Dad will come with me, but Drake doesn't need to. I don't think he's interested in attending Mass. He probably doesn't have any religious affiliation to begin with.It's alright! People who live on the other side of the world don't focus on religion. They have their own beliefs and faith, and it's all up to them as long as they don't hurt anyone. However, here in this country, our religion plays a significant role in our lives.I look at myself in the life-size mirror, still thinking about Drake. His image from earlier, wearing only a towel, lingers in my mind and plays on repeat.“Don’t be stupid, Betty. You know the rules,” I remind myself, forcing a smile.Just then, Carmella walks in, smiling brightly."Are you ready?"I nod as she looks at me from head to toe an

Chapter 26. Formality

Betty's POVJason left, brokenhearted. I sighed, feeling hurt as well. I understood what he was trying to do. He had already told me that he liked me. However, I couldn't reciprocate those feelings. It’s not that I have to—I just don’t feel the same way. I see him not as a romantic interest, but as a brother.I felt sorry for him because of that. I don't know if I will see him again. Probably not. Who knows?After the mass and lunch, the graduation march began. It took quite some time to complete the entire program because thousands of graduating students from all departments needed to walk across the stage. In my department, I also delivered a speech of thanks and encouragement.On the way back to Drake's mansion, I was quiet. Mom and Dad constantly talk about everything. They are very happy. Diego keeps them happy too with his silly jokes as he drives us back.It's a long day, and I'm already tired. I can't wait to jump in the hot shower and sleep on my soft bed.I consider myself l

Chapter 27. Regret

Betty's POVEveryone is having a great time, including my parents. My dad, along with Drake and Diego, is drinking, conversing nonstop, and laughing. My dad is talented at playing the guitar. He showcased his skills by singing and playing. Diego dances to the music while Drake laughs and listens to them.On the other side of the room, Carmella is having a great time. She already seems a bit drunk, and she’s with a group of people I don’t recognize.“Betty!” she calls out to me. “Let’s have another toast!” She raises her wine glass, and I do the same before we both take a drink and laugh together.I received a few messages from my classmates and from Jane. She apologized for not being able to make it today and mentioned that her father is in the hospital. I replied, telling her that I would visit tomorrow.It's almost midnight. Carmella and the others are all inside. Mom and Dad are asleep now, and everything is quiet. I can't sleep, so I head out to the garden.The lights still glimme

Chapter 28. The daughter they have

Drake's POVA mistake? What a fucking mistake.I let out a soft laugh as I finished my whiskey. I shook my head and smiled wickedly.Elizabeth del Canor, known as Betty, initially didn't capture my interest, but now she occupies more than half of my thoughts, and I can't seem to get enough of her. Whenever I think of her, a smile appears on my face for no reason at all.At first, I believed my interest stemmed solely from the mission assigned to me by Eagle. However, as I learned more about her, it became clear that my feelings have deepened each day as I uncover more about who she is.It's fascinating. Now I understand why Eagle wants me to marry her. Betty is not just an ordinary girl. She's the missing piece of the puzzle that Eagle has been searching for years."So, what are you going to do now?" Ace looks at me seriously."Keep digging for more information about her mother. I want to know what really happened in the past.I assigned Ace the task of investigating Betty. About six

Chapter 29. Fittings

Betty's POVEverything happens too fast. Time flies by quickly, and a lot has happened over the past week.I’m back at school to obtain my credentials and handle other matters. I’ve finalized everything, ensuring that I have no outstanding work left to do. However, I haven’t seen Jason. I tried calling his number, but it went unanswered. I can’t reach him anymore, and I haven’t seen Maxine either.I had several meetings with the wedding coordinator, and I expressed my preference for a simple wedding. They suggested that a garden wedding would be ideal, and I agreed because I love garden weddings!“Are you coming with us, Drake?” Carmella asked him.“I'll be there soon. I have some important things to take care of first. I'll catch up with you later,” he replied.I look at Drake, and he gazes back at me seriously. He isn't coming with us for the wedding dress fittings. It will just be me, Carmella, and Diego as our driver."Make sure to be there later, Drake," Carmella said as she pulle

Chapter 30. The woman tatooe on his skin

Betty's POVMy eyebrows furrow as I see the final wedding dress. Shammy, the wedding coordinator, stands in the corner with a smile.“I choose number 1, right?” I ask Regina.“I know, Betty, but you look stunning in this dress. Drake wants you to wear this one too. Don’t you like it? I saw you earlier, and I know you like this one more than the others. Am I wrong?”She’s not wrong. I honestly love this dress, but I forced myself to pick number 1 because of Drake earlier."Okay, let's settle on this one. I like it too!" I exclaimed."Great! That's a good choice!"Drake and Deigo were waiting outside, laughing and chatting until they saw us coming out of the shop. Carmella waved at them, slightly drunk as she finished off a whole bottle of champagne.Sometimes, I wonder about her. Why does she always drink all the alcohol like it's water whenever we go out?"Drake!" Carmella ran toward them, and I followed her."Oh, you're going out on a date! That's so sweet," Carmella said, glancing b
