The Bride Of The Billionaire

Chapter 29: The crowd and the ring

I felt sleepy as the performance goes on.

"Cath! Wake up. ICEcore will be called next!"

"Eh? S-sorry!" I didn't know how I end up sleeping. I wipe my face and focus at the performer, they are singing. Singing again!

I check my wrist watch, it's almost 9pm. Aish!

"The last and most awaited performance, the highlight of the night (Audience cheering laudly) Please welcome, ICEcoreee~" The host proclaimed.

I see the excitement on their faces and I am, I can't explain my feelings.

I felt excited, thrilled... ah! It's mixed so I took a deep breath, at least it comforts me.

The music starts, there's a fire blast instead of smokes.

He is dancing, wearing a white and glittering gold suit while his back up dancers was wearing all black.

His every moves make my heart thump, there's a loud cheerings too and everyone is enjoying his performance.

It's an evolutionary dance in hip-hop, it's start in 90's music I guess. I familiarize some because my dad loves old songs.

He is so cool that make me yell too "Kyaahhh! ICEcore" like everyone did.

After that he stay at the stage and the hosts approach him and hand him a microphone, he is slightly panting.

What are they going to do?

"Good evening ICEcore!" the hosts looks like inlove, their smiles infront of him was priceless.

"Good evening ladies, Good evening everyone!" he shout and everyone greet back too like it's their credentials.

He really stands like him.

I'm thinking of him again.

What if I'm with Raze? What I'm gonna feel right now if he's here, holding my hand while we both cheer for every successful YouTuber? I miss him.

I just miss him so I'm acting weirdly.

The crew put a safety belt on ICEcore and he is now standing at the tiny metal footrest that connects at the pole he is holding, I was terrified while looking at him.

I love being on a high places and extreme rides yet I guess I can't afford doing that one, I even felt scared looking from Raze office down the road. Maybe because of the height difference.

The pole starts to move upwards then he starts to sing.

I was stiffened, his voice sounds like him. Aish, my heart is going to explode.

"The moment I saw you,

the fate clearly say it would be you.

It would be you,

the woman for the rest of my life.

I offer you my heartbeat,

I'll be with you always,

to keep the beat fast and my heart live.

You're the only one,

say we can be as one.

Please don't break my heart,

I'll give you my half,

please take care of it.

That's so special,

yet, that's priceless,

Baby, you are the reason why it's worth to live.

I have three words,

8 letters for you.

I love you.

Can you give me 11?

I know it's automatically means

I love you too."

he sing while the pole is continuously yet slowly moving around so everyone especially from distanced seats can see him though his face was reflected on the wide screen at the stage.

Whoo, my heart! Everyone was swaying like ICEcore was the wind and they, the audience was the dancing trees.

They are swaying because of him, the melody he created and through the rhythm he made while I, stayed still on my place.

After the song the pole move back, I heard a loud applause.

"Face reveal!" everyone yelled including Cynthia while I'm here, agitated and trying to understand why I'm trembling because of nervousness.

"Alright! Good evening once again! Who's excited for the first reveal?" he chuckle after asking, he sounds like a kid and again, I remember him and imagine him on stage as ICEcore.

I snap my forehead, I have to forget him at least this time. Argh!

I want to know what he looks like, he is wearing his mask since the first time his feet touches the stage but the color o his mask was completely different from the video.

It's half white and half gold with the touch of black now, honestly, it's cool.

He make the crowd wild and more excited once again.

"First and foremost I'm going to show my gratitude to all of you especially for those who planned and the organization who do their best to make this day happen. We're doing this for all of you and now we're celebrating my 8th year anniversary with the support of you guy as well as thank you because we

reach 95M subscribers now, without you everyone everything will be impossible and with out you guys this celebration will not gonna successfully happen."

Then, again, there's a loud applause.

There's a video playing now on the stage screen, it's the video from his first vlog. I guess.

"As promised, I'm going to show my face but first I have this message for someone. Since the day I saw you, I already knew. You're the right one for me, just don't as me why I say so because I don't know it too. My heart refuse to explain but I'm certain into one thing, I love you. You're the one I've been waiting for a long time and finally, as you came, I didn't feel odd and being incomplete, I know, it's you!"

"Awww!" we reacted.

That girl must be very lucky.

"Anyway I want to say thanks for this someone too, without you I'm not here so thank you so much! I hope you'll stay patiently with me because I'm quite hardheaded and stubborn. I know you won't give up on me!" Some laugh.

The light turns on and off like a ghost was operating it until it's completely dark.

"What's going on?" I ask Cynthia because suddenly the sounds stopped too.

"Shhhh" she just replied

*BOOM!

The light slowly glow, dim to brighter and I can see ICEcore, he's slowly removing his mask that make everyone scream and persistent to create a wild cheerings.

"Kyaahhhhhhhhh~ " they reacted

H-he truly revealed his face now. It seems like my heart stopped beating. I was froze like some pour me a freezing water. My mouth parted. I can't believe it.

"Pryce Raze!" everyone utter his name like they can't believe it too, a famous successful man, a business tycoon is a YouTuber, not just a YouTuber, a famous YouTuber.

After everyone's recovery they wildly call his name again and again while I'm still stiffened in my position like I was glued and simply cemented. Darn it! I'm hallucinating?

"A woman I treated my queen, the only queen who's not wearing a crown yet my love serves as one. Thanks for coming here tonight, thanks for accepting my invitation!" he started, smiling like a falling angel.

He is looking around like he's searching for someone and the spotlight moves around in circles too, waiting where the gaze of the superstar will stop.

Invitation? Is he cheating on me? I never had an invitation from him.

The spotlight stopped at someone, that's shocking and almost tear my heart.

The spotlight stopped at Alona.

"I-I'm going to the comfort room!" I said but Cynthia stopped me.

Alona is smiling while walking now, walking up the stairs and Raze is walking towards her too.

That scene is killing me softly.

My tears, it'll fall at any moment.

Alona stood beside him then kiss his cheeks.

"Congrats" she said before she crouch down and press something on the floor.

Everyone was shut in silence, like me, waiting for the next thing to happen.

A small part of the floor move upward, it was a crystal in a rectangular size. There's a beautiful bouquet to different kinds o beautiful flowers inside.

"Thanks manager" He said. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

I can't understand it, manager?

He get the bouquet and Alona press something again to make that part back to its original place and leave the stage after that.

"Thanks for everything!" Raze said and she just nod before going down.

"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."

I remember our first met. I yell at him back then though it's my fault. Embarrassing.

"The fate made us fall in love,

you help me pick my pieces and you own now my half,

the half of my heart." he is walking at the runway, he pierced his look at me like he never search for me because at the first place, he know where I belong.

The spotlight pass by me, no, it stopped, it's blinding.

"You can call me by name, you only can.

You are mine, the fate says for the rest of my life."

He's here, singing in front of me.

"Hold my hand, let's run away together.

Listen to my heart, it's singing your name."

He hold my hand, everyone starts the chaos again.

I can't recover yet, I can't digest what's happening... all I know is that, I'm holding now the flowers and I'm walking with him while he is singing a love song like it's really written for me.

Suddenly, as the songs end.

"I want you to be my other half forever" he said and now on one bended knee infront of me, infront of thousands of people.

We're surrounded by chaos and the rant of my heart.

"... Will you marry me?" he said and show me the ring on the red box.

It's shimmering, a diamond ring.

My heart reacts to it when my mind stops working. I went forget that I'm sulkier.

"YES!" everyone yells.

My mouth literally parted.

"Sissss, Yohoooo. We're here! Sissy say yeessssss!" that was the loudest and catchy voice I heard that made me search where it came from.

I couldn't believe what I just saw, it's Stacey and the whole family. She's happily waving her hand. I saw Toby with dad's embrace, he's smiling with innocence while holding a light stick.

I look at mom, she smile like I got her permission, the same as dad then I look at Raze. I made up my mind.

While looking at him, I saw hoping in his eyes. My tears fall down, I'm in a silent tears stream right now.

"Raze, Yes! It's a yes. I'll marry you!"

"Whoo!" they chant.

"Yes! YES!" he reacted and throw the red box and put the mic down the floor before he sweetly slide the ring on my finger then he stood and kiss my forehead.

"8 letters for you love. I love you!" he said with so much affection and hugged me tight.

"It's 11 letters for you, I love you too."

Everything vanished, the sadness, jealousy, doubt and displeasure, it was replaced by security now that he proposed.

He made me cry and now he is explaining to his fans why he hide for so long, maybe it's waiting for this day.

I love him and he is the reason of my rare heartbeat.
