💋 Chapter Eleven💋

As Dylan drove the car speedily, he stared at Beauty.

"Do you want to go and tell you mom about...?"

"No, I don't want her to know. I just want to live a secret life" she replied lowering her gaze.

"Okay" he replied slowly and focused on the road.

He slowly drove into the compound and pulled over.

"Thank you Dylan"

"For what?" He asked.

"For getting married to me" she replied wanting to cry.

Dylan smirked and left the car.

Beauty sighed and came down from the car.

They both walked towards Leo and Sally who was staring them.

"Granny was looking for you" Leo said slowly.

"Go see her already" Beauty said staring at Dylan.

"No, she wants to see you Miss" Leo said again.

"Oh me" Beauty said slowly and walked into the house.

She was wondering if she wants to get her face back.

"Granny?" She called out.

"Oh Beauty. You ar back! Come, my legs are aching. Help me massage it a little"

She said stretching her legs on the table.

Beauty sighed and walked towards the table. Granny picked up the remote and switched on the television.

Dylan suddenly entered into the house and hugged granny.

"My baby!" She drew her head closer to her and pecked his forehead.

Beauty watched him as he threw himself to the chair and leaned back, staring at the television.

Granny kept on changing the channel till she found a clear station.

Beauty was focused on the leg she was massaging till granny shouted.

"There!! Beauty is on the television!"

Beauty turned her head to the television and saw the commercials she shot with Jason.

"It's now on TV. They didn't invite me to the opening night" Beauty thought.

Even if she was invited, she won't go. She continued with the massage as granny and Dylan watched the television with keen interest.

Dylan was getting angry seeing his stepbrother on the television dancing his fingers around Beauty's skin.

The commercials finally ended.

Granny stared at Beauty and knew why she was so concerned about her beauty.

"You are a model my dear?" She asked.

"Yes granny" she replied.

"I never knew. Now, I'm feeling bad because you've suddenly turned ugly"

Beauty lowered her gaze and squeezed her face trying her best not to cry. But no, she couldn't stop it.

She sniffed in and ran into Dylan's room.

Dylan watched the commercials and loved what he saw.

He has been hearing about Beauty since the past years but he didn't know who she was till he found her on the internet.

He raised his head and stared at granny who was staring at Dylan's room where Beauty ran into.

She sighed and stared at Dylan.

"I feel bad" she said.

"No granny, don't feel bad. It wasn't your fault. Just undo the curse" he said.

"You know I can't do that" she said and slowly dropped her legs from the table.

She stared at his room again and stared back at Dylan.

"Go and check on her"

Dylan nodded and stood up slowly. He walked towards his room and threw the door open.

He saw her laying on the bed facing the small window.

"Beauty" he called out.

"I want to be left alone" she quickly replied.

"I'll leave you but I have to tell you a secret" he said again.

Beauty remained quiet.

"I know you want to.."

Beauty sat up and stared at him.

"Why do you want to get married to me? Because I know you won't just want to. Is it because I'm rich or probably ugly?"

Dylan sighed and sat beside her.

"Because you are natural"

She raised her face and stared at him.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"Look Beauty. I know you think I'm stupid to get married to a person like you. Well, I mean your condition. But it's rare to find people like you out there. I don't care about your beauty. I'll marry you"

Beauty sniffed in and threw her arms around his neck.

"Thanks Dylan" she whispered.

"You should probably get some rest now. We are going to the court early"

She nodded and laid down to sleep.

Dylan went outside and sent Sally into the house to arrange Beauty things.

Without hesitation, she ran into the house.

Leo stared at Dylan.

"Is there any matter boss?" He asked.

"I'll be getting married to Beauty tomorrow. Tell the butler to make sure the mansion is clean and prepare some food for her especially chicken"

"Yes master. But Beauty?"

"Do you want to question my wish?" Dylan yelled softly.

"No master. I'll go tell him now!" He entered into the car and drove off.

Dylan dug his fingers into his hair and sat outside.

"I hope I'm doing the right thing getting married to her" he murmured.

Sally arranged Beauty things slowly not to wake her up.

She wondered why she was packing her things.

"Does he wants to throw us out? Is he planning to run away with her?" She murmured.

"Something is definitely wrong somewhere. I can't wake lady up, she would scold me. I can't take that risk. I'll ask her first thing tomorrow morning" Sally thought and kept on packing the things.

.

Granny walked out to get some air, she saw Dylan sitting alone on the porch.

She walked towards him and slowly sat close to him.

"Dylan, what are you thinking about?" She asked.

"A lot of things granny. My family, my job. I'm thinking about you granny, how are you going to be faring when I'm gone"

"You shouldn't think too much. For the past years you've been in Australia, I've been on my own. So don't bother about me" she replied smiling.

Dylan shook his head and sighed deeply.

"How am I gonna tell her everything? What would be her reaction?"

"Just let the words come out from the inside of you and not your mouth only. She would understand, i know Beauty is a calm girl"

Dylan bit his lower lips and nodded.

"Yes granny. But what about my family? Tara? When will I tell them everything?"

"Dylan! Like I said, let's fate takes it's place. Everything that will happen after you are married is for a reason. So, don't blame anyone"

Dylan smiled and placed his hands on granny's shoulder.

"I'll miss you granny"

"I'll miss you too. Always check on me okay?"

"Of course I will" Dylan replied and hugged her fully.

.

.

Beauty woke up and yawned tiredlessly as she walked out of the room.

She saw them eating breakfast already.

She slowly sat with them and greeted them.

"Good morning granny. Hey Dylan"

Dylan stared at her and nodded in reply.

"Good morning my dear. How was your night?" She asked.

"It was fine granny" she replied, lowering her gaze.

"Why don't you join us for breakfast?"

She nodded and joined them. She poured some tea into the cup and took a toast.

Dylan placed his cup on the table and stood up.

"We have to get there before 12pm. I'll go take a shower"

Beauty nodded and made way for him to pass.

She slowly ate thinking about the fact that she was finally going to get married.

"Beauty?"

She returned back from dreamland and stared at granny.

"Huh?"

"You are getting married now. Make sure you always to the right thing. I wish I could write down the things he like and doesn't like but I'll leave that to you to ponder on. Always stay away from other men, Dylan is a jealous type. He sweats even during winter but don't forget to cover him up. And I think he is a virgin" granny whispered the last part.

"I heard that granny!" He yelled from the bathroom.

Beauty managed to smile.

"Well, that I'm not sure. I don't know if he is seeing someone else

Just be yourself okay? You've done the best thing by been polite, that should also apply in your marriage"

"Thanks granny" Beauty said.

.

.

She had her bath after Dylan came out from the bathroom.

She picked out her outfit that was when she discovered that her luggage has been arranged.

She squeezed her face wondering how it happened.

Suddenly, Dylan barged into the room.

"Let's go already"

"Are we leaving from here?" She asked.

"Yeah. We will be staying at my place" he replied.

Beauty scoffed.

"I thought you actually live here"

"Is that why you also moved here?"

"No!" She yelled and pulled the box out if the room.

Dylan smirked and collected it from her.

"Move!"

She rolled her eyes and walked out of the house.

Granny was standing outside the house waiting for them.

She hugged Dylan warmly and kept on kissing his forehead.

"Miss you already"

Dylan smiled.

He's my also stretched her hands and hugged Beauty.

"Be yourself Beauty"

She said and pecked her forehead also.

They got into the car and waved.

Sally and Leo drove Beauty's car and drove to the court.

Dylan stared at Beauty and realize she was feeling uncomfortable.

"What are you thinking Beauty?" He asked

"Nothing. Just the marriage" she replied.

"Don't think too much. Don't worry I won't kiss you" he said jokingly.

Beauty rolled her eyes.

"Shut it Dylan"

He smirked and increased the speed.

They arrived at the court and went in to sign the papers.

Sally smiled.

"I knew those two were up to something"

Leo stared at her and chuckled.

"Well, you haven't known anything yet"

"What are you talking about?" She asked.

"Just wait for it sweetheart" he said jokingly.

Sally jerked her head and slap his arm.

"Don't call me sweetheart!"

"Okay sweetheart. Oops, my bad" Leo said and laughed.

They came out few minutes later holding the papers.

"Finally!! I'm married!!" Beauty yelled.

Dylan opened the door for her.

She got in and kept on staring at the paper.

Dylan signaled Leo that they were driving to the mansion.

Leo got it and started the engine.

Dylan started the engine and hit the road.

"We could actually stay at my house you know. It's bigger and comfortable" Beauty announced.

Dylan stared at her and smiled.

.

Beauty kept quiet and kept on staring at the papers.

She realized that he was driving slowly till he got stopped.

She raised her head and saw a beautiful huge white mansion in front of her.

"Where are we?" She asked.

"Welcome home hunny"
