The Bride Of The Billionaire

Chapter 14: You and I

You're the light

You are the night...

You're the color of my blood.

You're the cure,

You're the pain,

You're the only thing I wanna touch.

...

I'm currently cleaning the studio number 3 found near the movie room.

I sigh! He's my light, a light that was pretty bright for others world. To the world that really suits for him.

Last night was the weirdest night since I came here. I remember that we used to hangout by coincidence at the swing or at the outside around 9:00pm or dawn, I guess that wouldn't happen anymore.

I already start to take a steps away from him. Earlier, Erika was pretty happy as I let her to clean Raze's room, using my face, my voice and finger print she can get inside her precious Señorito's room.

I hope we can be friends since I do her a favor, I don't want her to hate me forever.

♪You and I can be Aladin and Jasmin, Let's make it happen♪

I wipe my sweat.

"Lorence come here!" it was mother Sharn who looks excited.

"I'm done here mother Sharn, what do you need?" I formally asked.

"Please clean the attic and please help Christian to assemble the telescope because señorito message me just a while ago that he has a visitor" she continue

"Star gazing?" I guess

"Maybe!"She smile and walk off.

Holding some equipments for cleaning, I immediately go at the attic and start cleaning and after that I can have my free time until noon, I can do what I want.

While cleaning I play a music with a dulcet tone that made me sway with the rhythm.

After cleaning I call Christian, the personal maintenance of things here at the mansion.

The time did run, I can't see how time did it yet as I check again, it's really like advanced.

We're done doing the assigned task around 11:30am so I stay at the kitchen with other maids to help the chefs. We eat breakfast around 12 and then I took a warm shower again,blow dry my hair and finally rest, I sleep at the cozy cushion nest swing at the backyard after playing with the huskies and I even sleep with a ragdoll named Cally.

"Cathrine! Cathrine!" someone's shaking my shoulders that made me slowly remove my eye mask and try to adjust my eyes at the light.

"Why?" I asked, creasing my eyes because I see things blur maybe because I just woke up.

"Señorito already arrived, he's mad. We don't know the reason but after he go outside his room, he's yelling your name in fury!" she explained, I suddenly felt nervous so I walk hurriedly.

"W-what's wrong?" I ask one of my co-worker but she just shrug.

Most of them were curious and just like willing to listen at any moment.

"CHUMP!" it's a loud mad voice that echoed.

He's really mad, what did I do wrong this time?

"R-raze?"

"CALL ME SEÑORITO!" Hell! What did you do? " I hurriedly go in front of him, calming myself not to cry, I'm not really used getting scolded infront of others plus my personal feelings were involved.

"Don't call me señorito. That's unusual if it came from you" his line suddenly popped up.

"S-señorito! Why you're mad? What did I do?" I asked like begging.

"What did you do to my Heiress Hero action figures Collection? You RUIN all of them!" His eyes were dark as he told me that.

My mouth were half open, I couldn't believe. I do nothing though.

"I-I do nothing señorito, I never do that!" I explain. What should I do? I can't tell him that maybe Erika ruin them because it's only a secret that she clean Raze's room instead of me.

"That's bullshit! You're bullshit! All of my collection were very precious to me! I trust you but what did you do? " can't he stop yelling? My tears will almost fall, only few bad words left then I can't hold any longer.

I look at Erika like asking if she did it but she looks innocent and fierce.

"I swear! It's not me señorito!" I mumbled

"Then who? This! Look at this!" he get a box

"You did this right? it's only you who clean my room! Don't fuckin' deny it!" He was really mad to the point that he throw the box at me and the box exposed a broken figures at the floor now!

"I-It's really not me señorito... Erika!" I explain and call Erika's name, hoping that she'll help me but instead.

"That's your fault, bitch!" she whisper that made me cry while picking up the broken pieces of his collection.

"Then you'll cry? STUPID!"

"Señorito! Hijo! You go too far, relax!" It's mother Sharn

"For what Masha! She ruin my collections" he reported

"But enough! Everyone! please go back to your work! Stefanie please get a broom and clean all the mess. Lorence! Come on, explain everything to me!" she said

"Mother Sharn, let me finish this!" I protested while picking up the part of his hero collection and put it back to the box.

"No, come on!" she insisted and grab me out there.

Do I have to cry hard? I was very happy earlier though.

Why Raze accused me so sudden? Why he didn't asked me first about it? He's being irrational! Why he didn't make sure about it first? Why I let Erika to clean his room anyway?

I'm completely fool and I thought Erika was nice yet she just show me her true colors.

I feel being played and rejected.

She bring me at the quarters area.

"Mother Sharn!" I utter between my sobs.

"I-It's not me! I-I'm really sorry!" I cried, trying not to make a loud sound. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

She's groping my back...

"Shhhh! tell Raze about it!"

"Mother Sharn! I can't, he'll hate me!" I cry and look at her like begging.

"Sorry mother Sharn, I let Erika clean Raze's room because she wants it! I can't tell Raze that or else he'll hate me even more" I don't know but I'm crying hard.

"Enough crying, let me explain it to him" She's very nice, she's acting like a real mother and the balance between two things but I can't let her involved, it's all my fault.

"It's fine mother Sharn, let me handle this. I'll talk to him if he's no longer mad" I continue and wipe my tears.

"Sure thing, for now don't do anything that can make him mad. His future fiance was with him" She spoke that made me realize that the sweet yesterday's were just a sweet accident.

Luckily, I never hold back at those time so I never regret that I may always see him with another woman starting now.

Why I'm saying this?

I really sound like I'm letting go someone I owned which is not anyway. He just give me a false hope that made me suffer later.

What was the kiss last time?It's just a joke?

His warm hug?

His heartbeat?

His smile?

Everything he do?

What was that for?

Is he playing around?

Why I didn't notice it from the start?

I hate myself for letting him hurt me.

"Lorence what's wrong?" yeah! She was still in front of me, witnessing how ugly I am when I'm crying.

"Your tears flow silently, it means you're really hurt. Everything will be fine. I know that Señorito will forget everything, he's not really that hard hearted man, I told you... he's a gentleman." she's trying to make me calm.

"Yeah! Maybe you're right mother Sharn" I utter sadly. I'm being dramatic since yesterday. Heck!

"Okay! I'll go now. You'll be alright" she tap my shoulders before she leave.

I wipe my tears and force to smile infront of the full length mirror.

I'm his maid and my only role was to serve him...not to love him. RIGHT!

I go out and act like nothing happened.

"Lorence are you scared of dogs?" it's Haylee who asked me.

"No, why?"

"Can you bring the huskies inside?"

"Ah,sure!"

"Thank you! We're scared because their handler, Arron wasn't here today!"

"Where are they?" I asked

"At the backyard"

"Ok! I'll go now" I leave her and after that I get some toys at their room and head the backyard.

Owh? Why they had to bring back the dogs inside? Wait!

I'll put them back inside? or inside the room or at the cage?

Aish! I think I need to use the remote like phone or should I call it Texnobile since that's what I see on the label. Ok, texnobile.

I press the 4 digits and it's only buzzing. I try again and it works, finally.

"Yo! do you know if where I should put Raz-- ah! I mean señorito's huskies?" I ask

"Wait! Shit! Why they ask you to do that? Just put them back at their room!"

"Okay, thanks!" I'm about to end the line yet...

"Don't cut the call, I'm watching over!"

"Huh? Where are you? Can't you help me here?" I asked

"No! Well, Brix was the one with a blue lace, Vyan with the pink lace, Red the one with the black lace, Ruth has a yellow lace, Vexx wears orange one and Drey uses gray"

"O-okay, thanks by----"

"I said don't cut the line!"

"O-okay!" Is this Raze? He sounds like Raze.

I look at the mansion but my sight couldn't find him.

"Come on Brix, I have a toys here!" I said and show them what I've got.

It's a duck that sounds, a snake stuff toy and a ball.

"Here, come on" I said and call each names and they bark sweetly.

"Sweetheart, what are you doing? Who's that?" I heard a voice, so it's Raze and Sabrina.

"Nothing, let's go! Hey! Call them baby" he said and end the line.

Don't cut the line your ass!

"Baby~" I call, ah! That's awkward but it works.

They give me the attention and chase me instead.

I also run so that we can reach the room fast yet suddenly. Brix jump on me, I was so unprepared so we both drop at the Bermuda grass.

Instead of being mad I laugh out loud as he lick my face and smear his fur on my face.

"So it works huh! Baby~" I whisper then he bark, stole the snake toy and run inside, maybe he know where he can play that toy properly.

I stood while laughing and shake off away a fur that left on my uniform.

"Come on! Baby! Boys! Vyan! Baby Ruth! Chase me!" I shout and raised my hand that holds their toys, waving it to catch their attention.

This is fun!

I never thought that they're very easy to deal with.

"Lorence! Stop running. owh! Shit!" I don't know if who's that because I only focus on the dogs and on my way.

We arrived at their room, I'm laughing hard. That was very relaxing. They play while I throw myself at the bed. My mood restored.

"Thanks babies" I utter the suddenly, like a human,Brix lay on my right, Vexx was beside him and Drey while Vyan at my left part sitting like she's innocent and red starts to lick my shoes so I laugh, while Red and Ruth was still playing and barking like crazy.

So, this is the feeling to be surrounded by dogs,it's lovely.

After 10 minutes I go out. I found myself in the garden.

"Aha! I know what to do now!" I rush inside and search mother Sharn.

"Where's mother Sharn?" I asked Lian

"She's at the visitors area Cath!" she answer lively

"Thanks"

I hear a lovely sound...

As I reach the area,

"Mother Sharn! owh!" I call and froze for the moment.

Raze was playing a piano and Sabrina was beside him, smiling sweetly. I thought the sound was just an instrumental music but it's actually a live perfect play.

I stood, waiting mother Sharn to draw near me but the play ends yet mother Sharn still entertaining them.

I don't know what they're talking about, obviously because I'm on the entrance.

"Ahm! Sweetheart, wait!" Sabrina stood up.

"Hey! you're the girl with sweetheart at the shop, right?"

I see, I'm her intention.

"Y-yeah, hi!" I greeted.

"So, you're just a maid. hmm? And I thought you're my big rival but thanks goodness that you're just" she said Ang look at me from head to toe.

"a maid!" she added full of sarcasm.

"I'm not just a maid!"

"Yeah! right! You're not just a maid because you're trying to stole my place!" she roll her eyes and turn her back, that's rude.

She must not do that to me though she's rich and not wearing a maids uniform. Tsk!

"Lorence? you need me?" mother Sharn already taking a steps to leave so I walk with her.

"Can I water the flowers and plants at the garden?" I asked, I put my hands together like I'm an excited kid.

"Sure! What did she say to you?" she asked, concern was on her voice.

"Ah! nothing, yeah! nothing!" I lied then laugh a bit, to cover up.

•Bzzzt! Bzzzzt!

My phone vibrated and I check it first.

It's a message from unknown number.

"Sorry"

"Let's talk later"

It's only two messages that stabs my heart because he's going to make me fall deeper and hate me after that.

I hate this feeling.

I was broken before, I hope I'll encounter the right man this time.
