The Bride Of The Billionaire novel Chapter 24

"If you really love someone, you have to fight for them but if they're not worth fighting for, just let them go!"

Unknown number: Your life countdown starts now.

Why I keep on receiving some threats? Someone hate me?

*Kring

Fuck!

My alarm ringtone rangs again but Raze isn't here yet, it's already 2pm.

"Ranz I'll go now, tell the girls!" I said and pick my body bag.

Where did Raze go? He's making me more nervous.

We have an agreement that he'll be here after his meeting at his clothing industry, it's already 3 hours had passed since he tell me that their meeting starts. Damn!

"I'll wait you at Royale place! I'll go now take care!" I texted him.

Royale place was one of the most high class mall here in Cazila. Fuck! I'm going to Royale place now alone and I'm fuckin' worried about what might gonna happen later.

"See you tomorrow Cath!" Ranz wave his hand so I just nod and leave. I just booked a grab taxi and I'm heading now at Royale Place with my intense heartbeat.

"Where are you Raze?" I thought that for a hundred times and I feel like my heart won't calm without him. Damn! I take a deep breath before I enter Royale Place

The place was filled with different colors. The mall has a 19 floor and the ground floor has a fountain and the waters height almost reach 2nd floor level.

I was amazed, I never saw like that before.

As I look at my right I see a high library that looks like a walk now. I walk and instead of choosing elevator I just rode on escalator to see more the beautiful view of that giant bookshelf. I love it!

Whooo~

At the second floor I see a lot of stuffs like for me and women's essentials, cosmetics, sports wear, fashion clothes and some other interesting things. The display around was very fascinating, from the lights, products organization and everything I just saw, I love it all.

I squinted at a huge shop near the cosmetics area. 'ICE THRILL' I read the shop name and I peer at a poster at the glass wall, it's Raze.

He's wearing a shirt like he's promoting it.

His smile was different in the poster, it seems a business kind of smile, seems forced but he looks so cool yet more dashing at his first smile I saw.

I still remember his intimidating aura that made me scared as well as challenged but later on his smile change everything. He's not scary actually, at some unknown reason, looking at his picture calm my heartbeat, suddenly...

"You like him?" a woman with a black and combination of brown hair ask me as she caught me staring at Raze's poster.

She looks like she's around 40's, I saw some few wrinkles on her face but she's lovely. She remind me of Raze. Damn! Raze won't go out of my mind. I'm really imagining things right now but this woman has a bit resemblance of Raze.

"More than that ma'am" I'm still looking at Raze's poster with a wide smile.

I never realized that I love him damn very much that even his poster can make my heart thump wildly like he's just staying by my side.

"You admire him for how long?" she's a total stranger but I don't know why she's interested about that, about Raze.

"Since I met him!" I can't tell her that we just know and fall in love with each other for just a couple of of weeks,she might think that I'm Raze's number 1 fan and I am, that idea was much better.

"You met him?" she's really curious.

"Yeah!" I answer shyly, I remember again our epic first met.

"You're lucky then, he's not really into having new friends and he totally close his heart."

"That's absurd, he was one of the most nice, friendly, and gentleman I ever know ma'am, his heart isn't close to receive love and his hands were not clenched to share his blessings. I admire everything about him ma'am." I explain and show him a timid smile.

I feel so much comfort while talking to her and while having a conversation with her my eyes was pierced at Raze's poster.

She receives a call after a moment and I received a message from Raze too, he is coming.

"He is your boyfriend right?" I look at her smiling face with a curiosity yet after the recovery and wondering why she ask that, I proudly say YES!

"I'm so lucky, right ma'am? He is a kind of man that'll scare you for the first time you met him since he is intimidating but first impression didn't really last. He has an ordinary side too, he can make you laugh, he can make you cry, he can make you excited, he can do all and he doesn't lack of surprises. He can spoil you, sadly, I only have one thing in return and that is to love him with my all though it seems like there's something that hinder that." I was happy to tell her that and at the same time I felt sad.

I don't know what fate has said but I want Raze for me, forever, if it exist, maybe in heaven.

"If the two people was truly destined for each other, destiny find ways for them." she whisper and look at me like she's scanning every bit of me.

"You're right ma'am, anyway, we're talking for long and I didn't introduce myself to you formally yet. I'm Lorence Catherine Celo" I said smiling and extend my hand, offering for a hand shake.

"Rousey Blaire Coleman" my lips parted, ideas baffled into my mind that followed by my fast heartbeat band I even blushed furiously.

I suddenly feel shame, what am I saying earlier? Who's she? Raze aunt? mom? What? The answer will make me nervous to the 10th level for sure.

"Nice meeting you Lorence" she said, still in smile and shook my hand.

"N-nice meeting you too!"

"Don't be shy, can I invite you now? My son's going to arrive in a few minutes."

My hunch isn't wrong after all, she's Raze mom.

She's beautiful like she have a royal blood.

"H-huh? W-wher--"

"Mom!" we both look back at newly arrived handsome man at the planet, for me and for his fans. Lol!

"Love!" he said and kiss her mom before he wrap his arm around my waist and kiss my forehead.

A lot of shoppers was looking at our direction, maybe because of Raze's presence.

"Son, you have a nice and beautiful girlfriend" I was surprised by that, she mean it?

"Absolutely, where's dad now mom?" Raze ask her seriously.

Whoo! I felt relief since he's here now.

"He's already at Garifo, let's go!" she exclaimed happily and sounds excited.

Raze just smile at me before we continue walking. I felt a little nervous, maybe because I'm going to meet his dad.

"How's your work?" Raze ask me as we get inside the elevator.

"It's fine as always!"

"Son can I take the two of you a picture? Both of you looks good together."

"Ha?" I reacted, I didn't expect her to  say that.

"Mom you're making her uncomfortable!"

"Is it fine hija?"

"A-ah! O-okay!" shoooot! I'm not ready.

"S-sure" I said before she took out her phone and Raze pull me even closer that made me smile naturally.

"Son when did you learn to do a wacky pose?" his mom laugh and show me our picture. I laugh too as I see him pouting while his eyes were crossed.

"You're cute there!" I whisper while laughing.

He's a billionaire who can be as crazy as he want. I thought he can only be a serious man all the time.

Everyday, I fall for him, I hope he feel the same way too.

His mom took another good photo and do a selfie with us then start to praise us that we really look good together and wish that we can pass the challenge together that made me wonder because she seems like giving a clue or something or I'm just hallucinating but behind that Raze warm hand sent security like it locks our hearts together.

"We're here!" she utter but this time her aura change and became more serious.

"Reservation for Rance Kyle Coleman!" She ask the receptionist fiercely.

"VIP room number 10 madam!" she answer formally.

"Thanks!"

Mr. Rance Coleman really reserve a VIP room, I bet this meeting is really special.

I was really agitated while walking and I don't know why.

Raze twist the knob and the door exposed an elegant designs inside and a man who's sitting at the couch while talking to a familiar man, looks like same as Rance age, I guess. He was.. Wooaahh! Sabrina's dad.

He will join us? Obviously! Aish! That made me more anxious.

"Finally, they're here compadre" Rance stood and the man follow him.

"Sweetheart!" Mrs. Coleman hugged him and he kiss her cheeks, that's sweet tho.

Raze didn't greet his dad formally, he just say 'Dad' in a cold voice, I can feel the tension right now like it's better when we should get home already.

In the room, there's only one regular table with seven chairs. Why he had to choose a lot tho?

The atmosphereis making me nervous and kind of suffocating. Gush! Why I have to feel this.

"Good afternoon sir!" I greeted his dad and how for the two gentleman, I hope.

"I see, I saw you already. You're a helper, right compadre?" Sabrina's dad says that, absolutely degrading me.

"It seems like you came from a surgery Mr. Andrew Davis and the stitches on it seems like isn't healed yet! I didn't like the words came out from your tongue" Fudge! This is why I'm nervous. Raze was pissed.

"Look compadre, your son is being disrespectful again!" he complain like a kid.

"That's what he got for choosing that woman!" Rance snort, why I'm being involved here? They are crazy!

"Why are we here anyway? To look down my woman? In that case we may leave first!" Raze coldly said and there, his mom interfere.

"Boys! Chill! Take your seat and let's all have our order!" Mrs Coleman have that neutral and chilly vibe, after that she just look at me with her apologizing smile.

I expected that this day would come but I didn't expect that it'll come this fast.

As always, as a gentleman, Raze pull me a chair and let me sit first. He's at beside me and at the front there's his dad, at his dad's left Mrs. Rousey occupied the seat and at Mr. Coleman's right was the bald man with a creepy beard, he is Mr. Davis that looks scary.

The crystal table is rectangular with a soft high chair, the wall was colorful, it's painted with a pastel color and such a lovely painting was hanged in the wall, it's lovely. I may appreciate it fully if I'm with a right person around me, I guess we're out of the circle, for now.

Mr. Coleman call a waiter through a telephone and the silence was really suffocating like at any moment I may hear a sound of a timer then the bomb will explode.
