The Billionaire's Irresistible Enemy

Wednesday morning was my wedding gown fitting schedule. I was in the biggest bridal boutique in New York, where they have the widest selection of luxury bridal dresses from famous designers all over the world.

The anticipation of choosing the perfect wedding dress was an incredibly exciting and emotional experience. Having Mom, Sweet, my two grandmas and best friends by my side during this momentous occasion made the process even more special.

"OMG, there are so many styles, fabrics, and designs!" Dulcie was super excited when she saw the racks of gowns.

"Amazing, right? This is gonna be fun!" Sage exclaimed happily. "Are we going to see the entourage gowns, too?"

"Yeah, of course." The sales manager who assisted us said, "and we'll take all of your measurements as well."

My two besties were over the moon, as they were part of the entourage.

"Having no daughter of my own, I never experienced this kind of thing before. I wasn't even invited to join Adonis' tuxedo fitting." Grandma Pia said.

Grandma Celine waved her hand. "I have a daughter, but I wasn't there to help her pick a wedding dress. I wouldn't have allowed her to pick a black wedding dress if I were there."

"Mom, that was a long time ago. Besides, you were there for our second wedding. That's the most important occasion, because Adonis and I were truly in love and got married in our own free will." Mom defended herself from her own mother.

"Totally agree," I said. "Enough about the past. Let's get to my gown fitting, okay?"

I tried way too many wedding dresses and stood on the podium while the ladies checked them out. They were all gorgeous, but I wasn't completely sure which one to pick. I was still trying to find the perfect one that would go with my personality, my style, and make me feel stunning.

I was exhausted and started getting bored. I left it up to the ladies to decide on my wedding dress. I was already hungry because it was almost lunchtime. I was pretty sure the ladies felt the same.

"Choose an outfit you adore, dear. Forget about our suggestions. It's your wedding." Grandma Pia said.

Suddenly, my phone rang. It was Colton.

I couldn't believe it because he contacted me for the first time. Yeah, I saved his number when he gave me his card, obviously for business reasons.

I didn't know why my heart was racing. I saw him last Sunday, and not seeing his handsome face and hearing his deep velvety voice for three days felt like forever.

"Who's that?" Mom asked, making me look at her, and mouthed 'Colton.'

I hit the answer button and turned on the loudspeaker.

"Hey, how's it going?" I asked, and saw the ladies' eyes grew round, looking very interested. They were listening to my conversation with Colton.

"I'm calling to give you a head's up. I'll be sending you some confidential documents. Keep them to yourself."

"Wait, does that mean I can't tell Barry either?"

"Exactly. Check it out and tell me your thoughts." He said, then asked. "Are you in your office right now?"

"Nope. I'm in the middle of trying on my wedding dress."

"I see." He sounded very distant suddenly. "I won't take up too much of your time."

He was gonna hang up, and I wasn't ready to let him go yet.

"So, when are you gonna be back in New York?"
