Chapter 38: The exchange
Chapter 38: The exchange
"New helper?" I ask yet she look away like she didn't hear me, maybe she's shy about the accident yesterday. She looks like an angel and like a cosplayer. Cosplayer? Aha! I'll choose her as my cosplayer. Problem solve now!
I want to tease her and play around spoke her to do the house chores alone whole day.
"Seriously?" She can't believe it yet I want to test her as well.
She thought that was my revenge and I guess that's counted.
I cancelled all my meetings to watch her doing her first ever job at house.
"Felix, give this cold bottled water to Lorence" I commanded, she's really sweaty now.
I look from a far.i know she's tired yet she get to laugh as she talks with Felix. She catch me looking at them.
"Andy, tell her to go inside now!" My guard just nod and leave. I guess I'll let her access to the system, she can open my room also using the scanner. Are you sure Raze?
I touch her hand for the fingerprint and for the first time, I feel like there's a volt transmitting a ticking energy at my body. Fuck!
She's risible, her smile was so sweet and she's cool, she's the only person that calls me Raze in a different way.
It's kind of soothing and like the best remedy, her voice does and for the first time again, I eat tuna and she cooked it very delicious and the taste was really unforgettable and enough for me to request her again.

"Are we friends?"
"Why? Can't we be more than that?" It was a joke yet my heart thumps unexpectedly that causes my mind began to think about it and who is she? Why she made me feel that way?
It's already 9 pm and I checked her, she's peacefully sleeping.
'Sorry I made you tired today!' I made you tired today!' I smile before I left her. I can't sleep, I'm done with my new vlog around 11pm but I still can't fall asleep so I end up editing the video. I'm going to upload it by tomorrow.
I went outside and cool my mind there yet suddenly I hear someone singing and it's her.
I had fun with her, I just found myself loving to talk to her and my all was at ease when she's around. I found myself smiling because of her.
One day I told myself that I want her to be the happiest person in the world, I want her to be a part of my journey, my dreams... I want to celebrate everything until I realized that I already fall in love with her. She's a masterpiece that I want to keep for the rest of my life yet I'm still worried, I know that dad would against us.
Choosing her was easy yet I also have to consider dad... he don't like my decisions for sure because for him Sabrina was the only woman who suits for me.
She's the reason of my smile and she's the reason of the new me yet I still don't have enough courage to tell her that, I'm still between her and dad's reaction. Dad again!
"Please don't stop yourself from doing something just because you think that's not best nor you're not worth for it!" I remember what Lorence said before. I think I got it now! She can only made me jealous,
she can make me extremely happy, she can cheer me up, only her can. It's not weird, I just know the true meaning of love because of her. She taught me so much of things that made me fall more and say I love her infront of her beautiful face when she's sleeping.
It's started when I always go speechless yet now I'm here, pranking her a bit for a confession.
"You're the woman I want to be with me at the rest of my life."
"I love you Chump!" She gave me everything and I want my all to give at her too.
"Lorence, can you be my girlfriend?" One of my unforgettable moment was the time that she say 'Yes' that made me ask myself what I really feel because my feelings was totally mixed.
She was like my coat at winter, my ice-cream during summer and someone who wakes my sleepy heart.
Dad wants to meet her and as expected dad dislikes her but at least mom loves her. Dad and I had a little fight, he overly humiliate her... this time I stood against dad though I usually follow him. I can't let him do that to my happiness. I really can't.
"Señorito! Glad you're here. Your new song was polished for you fans fest." It was one of my music editor.
"Thanks bro! Just send it to manager Alona and to me later. I'm just here to pay"
"Your secretary's not with you?"
"Tyron?" He is managing some things on my behalf with the YouTubers fam." One of my expected moment and that's going to happen at the face reveal. I'm ICEcore, it was so hard to ignore Cath yet I have to in order everything to be successful. I felt sad for hurting her, her expression breaks my heart yet I know it'll be worth it.
"Razeeee!" She's yelling, I'm about to leave when she catch me. I just look at her blankly stoping the urge of hugging him.
I can't take it long so I have to leave. That day I hired someone to trace who's sending some threats to Lorence and she's not telling it to me.
I keep myself busy so I won't slip my tongue and emotions away or else the mission will fail. Everything went so smooth.
I contacted her friend Cynthia to bring her at the fan fest and she luckily agree while I'm with Alona Sanchez all the time and I just go home when I receive a message from Masha that Lorence was sleeping already. Leaving a flower at her side table was enough for me, at least I feel peace.
The most awaited moment comes, I'll perform not just for my fans but mainly for her. She's sitting now with her friend, at the seat I prepared for them...I she sleeping? I guess yeah! Cynthia wakes her up since it's my turn next. She's adorable as she yawn and adjust herself.
"The last and most awaited performance, the highlight of the night. Please welcome, ICEcore!" I'm called so I step for an entrance. The music starts with the loud voices from the crowd and with my back up dancers I start my first performance.
I was the star of the night but she was my star who give me a perfect dim light.
"The heaven give me a chance,
To feel love and be loved.
The heaven gives me a chance,
They lead your path towards my palace."
She looks blank and can't understand what's currently going on.
"The fate made us fall in love,
You help me pick my pieces and you own now my half, the half of my heart." I look at her while walking at he runway. She's beautifully wearing my merch, I'm now excited to see her in wedding dress.
"You can call me by name,
You only can.
You are mine,
The fate says for the rest of my life." I'm now infront of her, she's blushing yet she still looks innocent and questioning.
"Hold my hand,
Let's run away together.
Listen to my heart,
It's singing your name."I hold her hand after giving her the bouquet of flowers. I sing while pulling her out of her seat and now we're at the stage. It's time.
"I want you to be my other half forever!" I said and bent down on knees in front of her.
"Will you marry me?" I ask and show her a diamond engagement ring inside red velvet box.
I'm nervous, I'm scared as well that she might say no! I can't afford that.
Everyone tells yes! Her sister tells too. I did bring them here, I can't let them missed a beautiful moment of their Princess.
"Raze yes! It's a yes! I'll marry you!" Her answer made the night more special. My scared and hazy mind became clear because the woman 8 love the most accepted my heart. She's my heartbeat, without her it won't beat differently again so I won't let her to slip away.
New moments with her and with her family. I'm the most happiest man on earth...just having her by my side is enough.
I enjoyed so much and became a busy man after those unforgettable moments. I'm busy fixing things for our good and I thought no one can separate our ways yet I woke up one day feeling her absence and her place on my bed turns cold like she left as I sleep tight... I'm still assuming that she's with me. She just left me with our memories that turns a clouds inside my heard and cause me in tears.
"Hijo! Lorence said she quit. She already leave and here, she wants me to give you this letter!". I can't stop myself, I tear the white envelope apart and cry. I can't understand if I'm sad, mad or what... it's just that I can only feel pain inside my heart.
Is this the reason why she wants to spent a weed with me? If I know I'll ask her for more until she won't ever go.
I don't understand why she left then suddenly there's a news about her that spreads. She's not a gold digger!
"Hello? Tell the broadcasting line that I'll file a case if they don't delete all the news about Catherine immediately. I can really kill this time!" I told Tyron.
Dad told me to manage our business in Spain yet I declined his offer for her, I just want to stay with her but she ends up leaving and I end up leaving too while carrying the heavy pain inside my heart. I want
her back, I want to run after her yet I have this chain and leash on my neck again.
"Sweetheart, let's go!" It's Sabrina. I'll go with her.
I left my company at my cousin, I trust him and Tyron was there. I'm so lonely, my tears were dry now, I already tell all of them out.
Why days have t run fast? I can't explain what's happening. I feel betrayed. I go at the church believing that I'm just going to attend a wedding of dad's friend in business yet I'm wrong.
"Sorry Sab!" I just said and go away, leaving everyone shocked.
I eventually lose my properties. I pay 1M to the news and broadcaster stations and to the newspaper Inc. The next day Sabrina's parents ask for compensation, they don't need cash nor cheque... they want my investment company. At first I refuse and offer them my clothing company yet they still don't accept it. Why I have to pay when I was the victim?
I have no choice but to give what they want though it's against to me.
I do everything for that business yet it easily fades away.
I'm still a billionaire but I feel like I'm still the poorest creature on earth... that's because she's not here with me.
Dad apologizes and as always a son will always be a son to his father, to his parents. I understand now why he's so strict and underestimate me and that's just for me to do my best.
Dad explained my why he really wants me for Sabrina and that's because they had an agreement and Mr. Andrew scares dad. That's simple to make my life very complicated.
"Go after her!" Dad told me. Before that I read Catherine's letter and she made me cry again. I read it late. I go after her without hesitation yet still I don't have a chance. I saw her with a man. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
I stay at Lahzon for a week and she's always with him that made me decide to leave. If she's for me then we'll meet again. If not at this life then see you at our second chance, my love!
I can't measure how painful leaving her was because the pain spreads inside my body and it ingest all my energy.
I missed her.
A year later, everything's still fresh.
"Señorito I received a letter from Xgames company. For a project proposal" it's Venise since Tyron was at his precious vacation with his wife now.
"Hmm, tell them to see me at my office!" I replied. She's currently working at that company. I want to meet her again.
I know all of her activities since I received a news that she work here at Cazila. She's more beautiful now and a lovely lady. I often saw her but I don't want to come near her.
Fate take her away and fate is responsible to bring her back to me.
Later that day, she came with her boss. It's me being selfish to act tough when it comes to her and to act like I didn't know her... like she's just a mere employee. Sadly, I still love her and there's a lot of men wants her too. Why she's very attractive?
"Please give this foods to Ms. Celo!" She's avoiding me. She keeps doing her job hurriedly and leave early and do it again the next day until I get her out of the bar. She's totally lost herself and there, I know that she still loves me.
I don't want to stay coward so I tell her how much she means to me. I ask her hand to her parents and they're happy for us. That's how fast the time, she leaves then she came back and now I won't allow her to leave again.
The wedding day is settled, everything is settled.
Sooner, I can call her wife and I'm excited about that.
"Bro! This is Lorence, your future sister in law."
I introduced her my brother, Trivian. I know that if he still leave he'll be the happiest person for me. I'm really sorry bro. One day I'll meet you and talk to you endlessly. I missed you.
"Love, I'm just going to buy a new set of pencils today. You don't have to accompany me, okay?" She said. She's wearing the dress I gave. She's lovely and she's like a living doll.
We're going to have our pictorial tomorrow and I'm excited. Soon...
I let her go on her own then I just play with his brother at the meantime.
It's already 6pm, where is she? I called her for many times yet she's not answering it. I told my parents and her too so they're now worried like me now.
Fuck! Where is she?
*Krrrrnggg!
It's Sabrina so I rejected the call, I can't talk to her while we can't find Lorence. That girl!
I'm in the middle of locating Lorence area through GPS yet I received a message from Sabrina.
Sabrina: Answer my call if you want to know where she is!
Fuck! This woman always bring trouble. She once ruined my life. Heck!
I made friends with her after them getting my company and now! Fucking hell.
I didn't wait her to call, I call him.
"Oh! Hello sweetheart! Can we do an agreement?"
"What's that?" I coldy reply. My heart's thudding harshly.
"Give up all of your properties in exchange of your future wife's life!"
Did I hear it right? My world fall apart yet I'll do everything for her. I can give up everything for her.
