The Bride Of The Billionaire

Chapter 15-1: Sad melody

♪♪I couldn't,

I couldn't erase you in my head

I shouldn't,

I shouldn't love you the way now I did

and now I'm hurtin',

hurting my heart and self instead.

Can you hear me?

Hear the tears that silently flowing on my bed.

Baby!

I'm inlove with you but you're inlove with her~

Listen to the sad melody,

as I strum my guitar.

Baby I close my eyes,

as I sing, you're in my mind.

Your image here won't go away,

chasing me on my dreams,

through that I can't fall asleep easily. ♪♪

"The universe planned to make us fall."

"I'm sorry" he utter.

He's looking at the stars.

"It's fine Raze! ah! I mean señorito. Sabrina's waiting for you, you may go!" I'm not pushing him away, I'm just being honest.

He check his wrist watch.

"It's already 9:00pm, maybe she's already sleeping. She was used sleeping early plus tomorrow our parents will visit here." that made me sad but instead of acting like one, I smile widely.

"Congrats!" I remarked. Yeah! That's it. I have to move on.

It's a lovely experience, a feeling for a boss is quite painful yet exciting.

Imagine, a lot loves him and I have a chance to go near him. I always have a chance to talk to him, a chance to look at his lovely intimidating face and a chance to work for him, also, I was once able to stay beside him and I enjoyed those moments where we are like a real lover.

Our first met, that's unforgettable.

"Hey! Chump! You're spacing out" he snap his fingers, making a sound that make me look at him.

"Huh? what did you say?" I asked

"I said are you pushing me away?"

"Ha? I-I'm not. I just thought that she might feel bad if she'll saw you with me. " Aish! truth hurts right? because the truth hurts me, the truth that someone powerfully owned him, someone who's much deserving for his love. I sigh!

"I'll get inside now!" Actually, I just feel bad with the thought that he kissed me for no reason so it means my first kiss was like a joke to him? Heck!

"Can't you stay for a while, can't you seize this moment?" he is cold, I don't know what's his point.

"Why are you making things hard for me? You're the boss but please, my feelings is not a toy that you can play and my heart, this is pretty sensitive. My heart fall and cry so easily. Are we clear?" I said but my heart was blutantly ranting.

I hear how he feigned a gasp but it won't work for me.

"What if I really like you? that in our first met I already laid my eyes on you?" he said that make me stiffened for a moment.

"It's because you have your eyes, it's natural that you laid your eyes on me!" I fired and turn my back.

"I-I love you" he coldly whisper and that's my first time I hear him stutter.

"Hey!" he catch up.

"Read this later!" he put something on my hands.

"What's this?"

"Just read it later before you sleep" he whisper and suddenly pull me closer and stole a kiss on my forehead.

I sigh, he's really playing around.

"Good night Chump, te amo!" he whisper once again. Why he never fail to make my heart thump crazy?

Why his single actions can make my heart beat wildly? The same thing right?

"Okay!" I was dazed.

Hell him for making me feel this way!

As expected,it's hard to fall asleep. I'm thinking every scenarios happened today and that's kinda weird that make me feel in mixed emotions.

I open my Instagram account, it's private so I see a lots of follow request.

Oh? Razekhen, my heart reacted as I read it so I check his account, it's also private! Damn! How come that he has a 40M followers though his account is private? That man is a beast.

I'm curious about his post but I'm shy to follow him back, yeah! I confirm his request. I feel shy suddenly because I only have 5k followers and he has a lot like a celebrity, more than to some celebrity.

A message from..

Razekhen: Follow me back.

Oh! okay! it doesn't matter right? It's only my pride who's interrupting me.

I follow him back and scroll to see his post.

Woah! Texno has a 20 PC lucky giveaways. He's really a billionaire.

He has a lot of hot pictures including his photo on the pool.

He was half naked and suddenly I unintentionally heart his photo. Shit!

Razekhen: It's obvious that you're stalking.

My phone dropped at my face as I read it.

"Holy shit! Ouch! my nose hurts!" I complain, massaging my nose.

"Assuming!" I reply and logged out to escape from his playful replies and I don't know how to explain why.

Aish!

~FLASHBACK~

After dinner I walk at the pool area, it's bright out there since the only light came from the pool and some Christmas lights on the trees.

This maybe my new place for hangout and rest.

Raze and Sabrina were at the attic, they eat their dinner there, I don't know who set that but it was romantic.

Petals of roses were on the floor, romantic music was playing...that was a lovely candlelight dinner and maybe they're on their next activity which is the star gazing right now.

I look at the sky, there's a lot of stars tonight, it seems like they're celebrating for something and glow like a gems. Well, how do I know that the attic looks like that? It's because I help to serve their foods. That's a torture right?

I sat at the edge of the pool and soaked my feet at the water, it's cold. Around, 8:30pm I go in front the man made falls, I never noticed that there's a fish pond here.

"Ahem!"

"Who's-- ah!" it's the boss, so I stand and slightly bow like what others do when they see him.

"Señorito, I'm sorry!" I utter in my monotone voice, looking at the ground while waiting for a response.

"No, I'm sorry!" he said that made me look at him. Why?

"I'm sorry because I humilate you earlier without clarifying if you really do it! I'm just mad because that's a personalize hero I made, I spent years to create all of those" he utter sadly.

"Why you let her clean my room?" he continue. I was shocked.

"I'm really sorry... b-because s-she wants to!" I can't look straight at him.

"D-did mother Sharn tell you?" I asked nervously.

"No! I checked the CCTV footage today. I'm really sorry, I didn't stay cool earlier!"

"I understand! You personalized those and you work for it. You have a right to get mad." I whisper, what a relief.

~END OF FLASHBACK~

Later that night, I woke up, feeling alright.

My phone was beside me though I used to put it at the side table. aish!

I stretched my body and fixed my bed. I do some exercise so that I'll be ready for everything today. I'm working here for a week now, I'm glad.

Around 5am I take a quick shower and wear our black and sky blue themed uniform since it must be our free uniform day.

After preparing I swung the door open and strolled out. Oh? It's Sabrina who sleep beside my room? We isochronally open the door. What a nice coincidence.

She's beautiful, she wears expensive dress and heels, I see, she's short. I guess, we have the same height though she wear heels.

At least I won when it talks at our height.

She has a straight hair but curls were much better right?

I wish I can free my curly long hair, maybe tomorrow if I'll go shopping and meet Cynthia.

Sabrina look at me with her confused eyes. Why though?

"You're sleeping at that room? Why didn't you sleep with the other helpers?" She sounds mad.

"I don't know! I see, we're on the same level" peace! I just want to annoy her.

"Same level your face!" she reacted and head upstairs... maybe to wake up Raze. I'm going to the babies room and free them.

"Good morning babies! Want some foods?" they bark, the ragdolls were sleeping at Raze room so they're not here, luckily, the huskies didn't hate them.

They have a bowl each but Vyan share with Red's foods, they are so cute so I get my phone and took them a picture. Kyaahhh! They're so cute.

After that I hurry to clean because the visitors may arrive around 7am, I heard that they will have their breakfast here.

I also heard that we won't eat with Raze-- ah! Señorito like yesterday because his parents were scary and don't like to eat with the helpers, like Sabrina do.

They're crazy so now, I realized that Raze is different than other rich.I salute you Raze.

I'm done cleaning all rooms except Raze-- señorito's room! Aish! I have to train my mind not to call him by name, others may misunderstand it!

I check my phone, I have to ask him if I have to clean his room. He was online so I chatted him.

To Razekhen: Do I need to clean your room?

I waited for a couple of minute before his reply arrived.

Razeshen: Good morning. Just bring the vacuum!

Suddenly I felt shame because I'm the maid yet I forget to greet the boss.

To Razeshen: Sure, good morning :)

I greeted and put my phone back at my pocket.

•••

As the door opens, I see nothing I mean I didn't saw Raze but I hear an argument.

"I never told them to come!" it's Sabrina, she sounds defensive.

"Mom told me that she receives your invitation to come here since you're here!"

"Why are we fighting about this? We already talk about this yesterday!" she yell

"Because I can't understand you! I already told you that I don't love you!"

"I know but you'll learn to love, right? The engagement will be held soon!"

"I refuse! If you want then be hooked with my parents especially dad because he badly wants that fuckin' engagement and marrying you!" I hear it! I can't believe that.

Why rich people often choose money? They're weird!

I tried not to listen so I focus on vacuuming and after that I change the bed sheets, pillow case, comforter and his curtains.

"Hello? can I ask someone to bring a laundry cart here at Ra- ah! I mean señorito's room?"

"Lorence! Is this you? This is Lian...Yieee! your voice sounds great as ever." as always she's hyper.

"Thanks Lian!"

"Sure, see you!" then the line cutted.

I was folding the fabrics when Lian came.

We leave the room without making Raze and Sabrina make us notice. They're busy arguing. Raze parents wants Sabrina for him because she's the heiress of the famous clothing industry. It seems like Raze can do nothing against it.

That's a selfish idea right? Comment down if you guys agree.

We head the laundry room and leave the cart at Jane, Trish and Diane since they're assigned to do the laundry.

I was watering the indoor plants when I see Raze walking downstairs, it feels like this is my first time seeing him, he is handsome as ever that made me everything work in slow motion, his hairstyle was like a K-pop idol yet he stood like a boss, well, he's really a boss.

I suddenly member the hand written note he hand me... it says... "Wait for me"

"Hey! You're only watering the floor!"

"Ah! hi Nely! I'm sorry!" I said and smile weirdly.

"I feel bad for señorito! He go to a wrong girl" she started.

"Why?" I asked you of curiosity, well, two of them looks good together, that made me sad but that's true.

"She used to stay here before, we don't like her because her attitude sucks!" she said.

"Ah!"

"Hey! Two of you! please help to out the foods at their area. Their parents arrived already!" it's mother Sharn.

"Ah! wait! Lorence! Please hide the dogs again and the ragdolls! Sabrina was allergic to dogs and madam Elyora was allergic to cats."

"O-okay!" I see, she was allergic to dogs.

I rush to find the huskies first since the ragdolls only stay at the sofa or at the cozy cushion nest swing outside but often at their dads room. Cats love soft and warm things? I guess.

"Baby! come on! Where are you guys?"

"Baby~/ Baby!" we said in unison. He's now at my side.

"Let me help you!" he said, I stiff.

"O-okay!" I froze for a second, looking at him who call his pets 'baby!' why baby?

"Brix! baby!" I saw him, running on my way while Ruth and Cyan directly run at Raze.

Marking their dad's slacks their paw print.

That's cute though.

"Come on boys! Baby!" I call, Raze whistle as he walk and his girls were running after him, heading the cage.

"Why we're going to bring them at the cage?" I mean it's their dog house. Either way.

"Mom don't want to hear a bark!" I just nod.

"How about the cats?"

"I'll put them at my room, they love it there!" We walk slowly until we reach the cage, no one try to speak but the silence sends a message and the atmosphere says that he's sad.

After that we move to get the ragdolls.

"Señorito! Ma'am Sabrina ask you to go back!" it's my co-helper.

"Tell her that after 10 minutes I'll go back" he replied

What's the meaning of the note? It really drives me crazy! I wonder why I have to wait for him!

"Cally! You're here. Yieee! You're so lovely!" she smear her fur on my shoes, trying to catch my attention so I get and carry her.

She's a bit heavy.

"She loves you huh!" he suddenly said.

"M-maybe!" I answer

"She choose you, like I did!" he whisper, he's now carrying his two ragdolls and the two loves his embrace.

"This is Rain and this is Raisins, babies, greet her" he said then they let me hear a lovely meow, it's like a warm greetings then Cally licked my fingers like saying she wants my attention too.

I smile and gently touch her fur.

We walk back, he's talking to Rain and Raisins like crazy and the cat's meowed like they understand it. I laugh, they're so cute. I never knew someone, I mean a guy that both loves dogs and cats.

There's really something in his personality. Until now I can't believe that I'm already here in the city and inlove with someone that really hard to get. I sigh!

"Just put them here!" I see, we're already at his room.

"Hey!"

"Huh!? ah! yeah!" I respond though I didn't hear clearly what he say.

I-I saw our portrait, why I didn't notice that earlier or he just put it after I leave. He display it near his bed.

"I see, nevermind that. I'll go first, they're already waiting long!" I just nod and he leave first.

"Why your dad guys display that portrait? my face really says I'm inlove"

"Do you think?"

"Holy shit!" he startle me.

"Why you're here?"

"This is my room!"

"I hate philosophy"

"Okay! I forget something, well, I love it when you're not telling what's your point directly." he whisper and remove his coat.

I look away.

"I forget to change my coat, mom hates to see a cats fur on my coat"

"Okay! I'll go now!"

"Lorence!"

"Hmmm?" I look back, wondering.

"You can call me Raze, when it came from you, it sounds the sweetest!" we seriously utter.

Here he is again, he's making me confuse. I already told him that my heart isn't a toy right? How come that he forget it easily or he didn't listen at all?

"I already train myself to call you señorito,that's more appropriate right?" I said and smile at him before I leave.

I don't know but I'm smiling while walking downstairs.

"Hala! bag-o palang ko ka kita salakyan nga limousine" Ghera said that, it sounds good and at the same time funny because I never heard that kind of tone before.

"What do you mean Ghe?" Nely asked her.

"I mean, it's my first time seeing a car like limousine. I use our dialect. I'm Ilongga" she proudly share. I see, she came from Iloilo City. ( Try to search about Iloilo city, you may want to visit it one day. Iloilo, Philippines)

"How to say I love you in Ilonggo?" Rina asked her.

"Palangga taka, see, it sounds sweet" I see some thrills on Ghera's face.

They're really having fun.

"Yieee! I'm gonna tell señorito that palangga ta ka señorito, yieee!"Teresa said that the reason why Erika strike her head.

"He's mine!"

"Yeah! but ma'am Sabrina own him. huhu! My fantasy now dissolve on the air like POP!" She's funny! She even make a sound like the balloon got blast.

I continue walking and I found myself at the kitchen, I saw mother Sharn there too.

"Good morning chefs!" I greeted

"Good morning pretty!" it's Kyle.

"Good morning Cath, want some Dalgona coffee?"

"Yey! sure chef Markus"

"How about burger!" it's Kyle

"Mother Sharn, can I?" I asked then show her a beautiful eyes.

"Eat a lot, you're too skinny!" I laugh when she said that. Am I skinny?

For me, I'm fine.

Chef Markus was preparing my dalgona and Kyle is frying a pattie.

"Here! try this onion rings!" -kyle

"Wow! My favorite!"

"Oh? You love that too? Señorito requested that"

"I see, yeah! I always cook onion rings back at the province" I spoke and smile awkwardly. Why they have to insert Raze at the topic?

Conscience: Because he's the boss

I don't care!

Conscience: Crazy!

I know!

Conscience: I'm not asking

So? Why you sounds like you hate me?

Conscience: I'm not!

Then suddenly Raze's voice that saying "Chump" echoed in my mind. Hell!

"Here's your dalgona, enjoy it"

"Yey! Thanks chef Markus!"

"And here's your burger!"

"Thanks Kyle, chef Kyle" I said and wink.

"My pleasure!" he respond and continue doing his thing.

The dalgona taste great, it taste like a strong sweet drink, it's moody if it's compared to a person.

"I want to be a cook this time, so everytime I cook, I can also eat. There's no hungry moment, right?" I said then the boys suddenly laugh.

"Why you guys laughing?" I pout

"Here!" Kyle get a tissue and out it on my lips, it didn't fall... it sticks.

"The dalgona loves my lips" I said and laugh then wipe the dalgona that spread above my lips.

"You look a kid!" Kyle commented.

"So, am I cute and irresistible like a kid too?" I bluff.

"You are!" I look back after hearing a familiar voice, señorito's voice.

"Lorence, you're going to serve the desserts now, please!"

"A-ah! okay! I thought you agreed!"

"Agreed what?"

"Nothing, right boys?"

"Yeah!" they answer, laughing!

Kyle transfer the strawberry sliced cakes that already distributed in 6 plates on the food cart and put also the shake.

Rich are weird, why they love cold stuffs in the morning? Well, I don't have to meddle about their taste. It's their choice anyway.

"I'll be back!" I said and push the cart away while Raze walk beside me.

"You seems very happy!"

"Yeah!"

"What did Kyle do?"

"He cook perfectly that the taste left on my tongue, he's sweet and funny too!"

"I see"

We arrived at their private dining area with the tension around and the atmosphere isn't good.

"Where's mom?" he asked.

"She go to the comfort room" it's Sabrina.

"okay!" he answer and help me placing the desserts.

"Raze! That's not your job!" his dad scolds him,his voice we're alarming and intimidating, somehow like Raze in a different way.

"I just want things work faster!" he coldly answer.

He mean that I'm a slow worker? Damn him!

"Excuse me!" I said after we finish placing the food and I head now for my exit.

"Where's mother Sharn?" I asked them.

"She call others to have our breakfast here together!" chef Markus answered while transferring the chicken adobo at another food container.

"Yey! I'm really starving!" I commented and take a sip of my dalgona

"I miss this!" I said and have a bite of onion rings.

"I'll cook you everyday then" Kyle said and eat fried.

"As if, hey! that's spicy?" I asked pertaining to the fried chicken.

"Yeah! want some?"

"Sure!" then I nod like a kid.

I open my mouth and he give me some.

"Hmm! I love it" RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

"You always love everything, Bro! She's kidding you" Chef Markus commented while laughing.

"Oh? I'm not! I swear!" then I smile.

"Good morning girls!" chef Markus greeted the new comers.

The kitchen is wide enough and even have the extension so we're all fitted inside yet the chairs isn't enough.

I see, the guards bring their own chair while others said that they'll stand while eating so they'll get full easily.

I laughed at that idea.

After that we eat, we're happy while sharing the foods the reason why I miss the workers at the farm and my family.

We're like this way back in province.

"Cath try this!"

"What's that?"
