? Chapter Seven?
Beauty went to the Granny’s house earlier than expected. She wanted to do anything to please her so that she could get her beauty back.
She wondered what Dylan was always doing there.
“Here’s your breakfast granny” she said and placed the tray on the table before her.
“Bless you my child. Get some for Dylan” she said and started eating.
Beauty shot him a glare and walked towards the kitchen.
She came back and gave him some food.
He ate slowly as he was busy on his phone.
Beauty went back into the kitchen and ate a little.
.
Sally and Leo were busy chatting outside the house.
“What really happened to Beauty?” She asked.
“I think it’s the weird granny. Beauty insulted her and she laid a curse on Beauty” she replied.
Leo shook his head and stared at the house.
“She’s doing anything to get it back. Poor Beauty” he muttered slowly.
“Do you know her?” Sally asked.
“No, no I don’t. I’ve been following her on Instagram so I really like her a lot”
“Ohhh” Sally rolled her eyes.
.
.
“I’ll go have a quick nap now. Don’t leave till I wake” granny said to Beauty as she walked into her room.
“Yes granny” she replied and tiredlessly sat on the old chair.
Beauty stared at Dylan and brou-ght out her phone from her pocket.
She pretended to be busy to avoid getting into any conversation with him.
She remembered what happened yesterday when he saved her.
She decided to thank him again so he won’t think she’s rude and proud.
“Thanks for what you did for e yesterday” she said softly.
He raised his head and glared at her.
“It’s nothing” he replied.
Beauty nodded thinking about something that she wanted to ask.
“Yeah ummm, you told your @$$istant something yesterday to blacklist those girls. They are just mocking me..just jokes” she tried to cover for them.
“No, they’ve been blacklist and that’s final” he said not sparing her a glimpse.
“How did you do it? Do you have any power at the company? Are you in anyway related to the king of the model industry?”she asked smiling.
“What do you know about him?” Dylan asked.
Beauty scoffed and leaned on the chair.
“I don’t know. He doesn’t reveal his personal information about him. I think you may be related to him… Wait no, he is Dylan. You are also Dylan. Tch, it’s not possible”
Dylan smi-rked and stared at his phone.
“I also wish to meet him one day”
“I also wish the same thing. I mean, why would he only hide his identity that only his wife and children. He is such a bu-tthead”
Dylan shot her a glare and hissed.
Beauty phone rang, she quickly grabbed it.
“Mom? Ah jeez, she’s gonna scold me if she find out that I’m here”
She swiped the answer bu-tton and placed the phone on her ear.
“Hey Mom”
“Beauty, where the hell are you? I’m home but no one is here” Mrs Jones yelled at her throu-ghthe phone.
“I’m sorry mom. I’m currently busy and.. I won’t be home till late in the night” she replied slowly.
“Are you alright Beauty? You are feeling comfortable with what’s happening to you”
“Look mom, everything has happened. What can I do? Nothing! I’ve accepted my fate already”
Mrs Jones sighed de-eply.
“Okay Beauty. Just don’t do anything stupid okay?”
“Yes Mom. Love you” Beauty replied and disconnected the call.
.
“Why didn’t you go see your mom?” Dylan asked as if he cared.
Beauty rolled her eyes and stared at him.
“Granny said I shouldn’t leave. I can’t dare to disobey her if not she will curse me again”
Dylan smi-rked again and stared at his phone.
He closed it and stood up.
“Let’s go out”
“What?! Granny?” Beauty replied.
Dylan knew granny wanted them to be together for some time to get to know each other.
“She’s not gonna wake up till evening. Let’s go”
Beauty slowly stood up and stared at him.
“You don’t mind going out with me like this”
“I don’t care if you are ugly. Let’s go already”
Dylan grabbed his phone and walked towards the door.
Beauty quickly followed him behind.
.
Sally and Leo stood up when they saw them coming out from the house.
“Boss… Are you..?”
“Move, I’ll drive. You both should wait here” Dylan interrupted Leo.
Leo nodded and gave Dylan the keys.
“I’ll be back Sally”
“What about your scarf?” Sally asked pointing at her car.
“I don’t nee-d that” she replied and entered into the car.
Sally nodded and stepped back not to get crushed by the car.
Dylan started the engine and drove off.
Granny stared at them throu-ghthe window and smiled.
“Now, let me take my nap”
She yawned and went into her room.
.
Beauty and Dylan went round the city checking out cool things.
Dylan suddenly stopped the car.
“Why did you stop?”
“Get down. Wanna show you something” he said and came down from the car.
Beauty exhaled de-eply.
She didn’t want to get down from the car at all. But she just have to.
She came down and walked towards him.
“I’m here already. Where are we going?” She asked trying to cover her face.
“Look!” He nodded towards a board opposite him.
Beauty stared at the board and frowned.
“Do you know these people?” He asked.
“No, I haven’t” she replied slowly.
“These people are ugly naturally but still decide to put their picture here for everyone to see. They are not ashamed of the own kind of beauty. So, you should not be”
“But I wasn’t born like this” she replied almost yelling.
“Beauty. You can live your life like this. Nothing is stopping you” he placed his hand on her shoulder.
“Standing in front of people is not my problem. Other models who call themselves my enemy. People that were envy of my beauty are the ones I can’t face now”
“You just have to try” he said.
Beauty beat his hands off her shoulders and ran to the car.
She started to sob softly.
Dylan shook his head and but his lower li-ps.
“I hate this. Why her granny?” He murmured and went into the car.
“I’m sorry Beauty” he murmured and drove off.
.
Beauty arrived home and saw that granny has woken up.
She stood by the door staring at her.
Dylan walked into the parlour and sat on the chair.
“I’m sorry granny, I didn’t know you would wake up early and.. I..” she stammered.
“It’s okay. It’s almost late. You can go home now. Be here tomorrow morning. Don’t be a minute late” she said to Beauty.
Beauty nodded and quickly left the house.
She wanted to see her mom. She missed her a lot.
Beauty came out of the house and quickly went to the car.
“Let’s go home Sally. I’m free already”
Sally started the engine and hit the road.
.
Granny diverted her gaze to Dylan who was always on his phone.he was probably working since he couldn’t go to the office everything.
“How was the outing?” She asked him.
“It was awful. She cried on the first day” he replied not sparing granny a glance.
“Why did she cry? Did you make her cry?”
“No granny. I was just telling her o forget about the fact that she is ugly and move on with her life. That’s all” he replied.
Granny sighed and shook her head.
“Children will always remain children. Fine then, you will go out with her tomorrow again and get to know her better. Don’t make her cry again! You have to propose to her by the end of the week”
Dylan frowned.
“Okay granny”
He couldn’t say no to the woman that saved his life and made him who he is today. The king of all modelling industry!
Everyone feared his name let alone him. They haven’t seen him but they know what he is capable of.
Most people think he is married and probably has kids. But no, he was single and not searching.
But granny was busy searching for him.
He remembered when he made a promise to granny telling her that he would marry whoever she wants him to marry.
He couldn’t break that promise.
He has tried a lot of things to get her out of that creaky cottage but she doesn’t want to leave.
She wants to remain there because her parents left the house in her care. She was born and breed here.
Dylan built a hu-ge mansion for her but she rejected it and scolded him.
He bought her a car but she rejected it and scolded him.
She said all she nee-d was to see him happy.
That was why Dylan loved and cherish her more than his own father.
Sometimes, he believed that his Kate mom se-nt her to him.
He didn’t want anyone to know about his true identity at all, especially his father.
The car he drove was a gift from his father but he just have to accept it to show how grateful and poor he was.
He wants them to think he is living a wretched life.
Sometimes, his stepmom would call him just to insult him.
She would say that he should sell the car and buy himself a meal to eat because he doesn’t even deserve it.
Dylan would ignore her. She didn’t know what he had.
He was capable of blacklisting her son, his stepbrother from the modelling industry and she would do nothing.
He’s just waiting for the perfect time to strike.
