I was hesitant to show to him how I feel. I can never do that unless he would take off the ring in his hand. I'm not the Isabella he was thinking.
Time went so fast. I started to go to the office and I was able to enrolled back in Good Samaritan Medical University. Mr. Hall is looking for another assistant which at first I really don't agree. Lee and Jonah were not anymore staying in our apartment after someone broke out and I was in danger. They were afraid too. Lee stayed in her fiancée's apartment. However Jonah went back home and focus on their business. They have restaurant near her place so she planned to concentrate in her business.
I went home.
I didn't stay in the mansion even if everyone is asking me to stay there while I'm starting to go to school.
I don't like the idea of staying there. I feel bad because I don't have anything to do.

Today is our wedding day. He sent me a box with my white dress. He paired it with a pair of shoes too. It's beautiful. Currently the makeup artist does wonder on my face.
"Please do your best." He said when he arrived. I was very surprised when I saw him.
"What are you doing here? It's not good to see each other."
"What? I'm just worried if you won't come. I feel you gonna ditch me with my wedding. "
"What?"
"Yeah. I can't predict you. Aside from that,it's fine. It's not that serious."
I rolled my eyes on him.
He watched us while the woman is doing my hair.
"I know you have a hard time right?" He said to her. The makeup artist is our closest friend.
"So bad. Get out. You're disturbing her." I told him.
"She's naturally pretty, Dr. Raven."
"Really?" He said. "I couldn't see that."
This time I really wanted to hit him on his stomach again and that he said I could damage his intestine, it would surely happen.
"Fine,I'm going out."
He stood up and left. My eyes followed him on his reflection in the mirror. He is good looking man. He stood 6" 5 tall. He has average body. A fair complexion and a dimple on the left cheek. His hair is well combed and sometimes it is disheveled. He's perfect for someone like me.
"He loves you." Marga said. She's our classmate way back when we were university. She has beauty salon already.
" I don't know."
"He doesn't look at you like that when he's not." She said.
"I'm not sure."
"But how about you?"
"I love him. Even when we were still university."
"Tsk,you're anger has hidden motives. Sos!! " I smiled when I heard it.
I was confused why I have to wear this long gown.
"Why I have to wear this?" I asked them.
"You're getting married." Marga said. My friends are taking care about the reception and the food.
"Wow,every bride is beautiful and you are the most beautiful, Bella." I was wearing a white satin gown with floral white beads.
"Do you want to get married?"
"No. I'm scared." I said to her.
"Take it off. I'm going to marry Raven." She said. She fixed my veil. I smiled.
"You can do it. You'll enjoy your marriage life with him."
I nodded my head. I didn't do anything regarding this wedding. Raven is always telling me to focus in my job.
After a few minutes,we went to the place. We were heading to the church. Church?
Then the car stopped.
"We're here." Marga told me.
"Are you sure? I wasn't informed about this."
"Tsk,should we inform about the surprise? C'mon, come out now,your husband is waiting for you."
"Wait,my heart is pounding so loud "
I put my hands on my chest. I'm getting married. Honestly I'm scared. How should I face our lives together? He never took off the ring in his finger. My tears ran down to my cheeks.
"Bella,why are you crying?"
"I'm scared."
"What?"
"Yes. Can I go back home?"
"Are you out of your mind?"
"I'm really nervous. "
"If you love him,do this. If not,then you can go back home. I'm going to explain everyone."
I was silent for a moment. I could still hear my heart. What should I do?
"Bella,it's time."
I came out but my knees are shaking.
Everyone in the church was looking at me.
"Do I look bad?"
"No,you're pretty."
The wedding coordinator announced that the ceremony will start a few minutes later.
" Marga, I'm scared."
My parents approached me.
"Bella,congratulations! "
"Ma!Pa! I'm nervous."
"Don't worry. He will take care of you."
" I'm scared."
The big door opened. All people were standing and looking at me. My parents walked side by side with me.
"Are you surprised?" My father asked me.
"Yeah."
"Raven wanted this than the civil wedding. He doesn't like to wait until your graduation." My mother said. We are almost at his  location. He is standing there waiting for me handsomely.
"He is right for you. You should take care of him."
I nodded my head.
Then when we reached where he standing, my father handed me to him.
It was like a dream. I just go with the flow.
I feel my mind was out of the blue. When the priest asked us I just answered I do and everything is done. We signed the contract together.
During the reception, I was sitting there beside him.
"Are you okay?" He asked me.
I nodded my head.
"Just hold on,you can take a rest when the visitors are gone." He said.
Lee and Jonah made a message for me. That was the time when I cried. I missed our days.
"Don't worry Bella, you have a home with Raven. He is right for you and he would shelter you from harm. From this day forward,he will stand by you. You are not alone anymore. To any tough undertakings,you have someone to hold,to share and to be with. May you have a blissful years ahead. Cheers yo the newlyweds!!" They raised their glasses.
I looked at him who is now smiling watching everyone around us. Am I doing the right decision for myself? Will he love me forever?
I don't know. He never told me again that magical word. The last time he did when he is about to sleep when I had a sleepover in their mansion.
My tears began to flow down in my cheeks.
"Are you okay?" He asked me. He hugged me.
"I'm fine."
"Really?"
I nodded my head.
After a few minutes, our parents approached us.
"Bella,why are you crying?" His mom asked me. I wiped my tears.
"I don't know. I feel I'm scared."
"Don't be scared. You have Raven now. Don't worry. Promise to me son that you won't hurt him." She said to him. He nodded his head and put his arms around my waist.
"I won't." He said and kissed my head.
"Bella, I know you don't like to get married but here you are. You made us believe that you are an independent person now."
"I am."
"Don't cry now. You are like a baby." My mother said. I laughed. The music started. Our parents danced on the center of the hall. Lee and Jonah made the same way with their partners. Jonah found new one in her company. They are co workers. I smiled at them.
Raven dragged me too.
"I don't know how to dance." I told him.
"Me too. Let's try."
We danced together. He put his arms on my waist and my hands are on his neck. He kissed my forehead.
I saw his hands that there are already two rings. Every time I saw and remembered it,my heart tightened. A pang of jealousy hit my mind and heart.
I don't want to feel this way. But why I always did?
The music continues as everyone dance with the beat. I hid my tears as I leaned on his chest. I love him. I really do. So I need to hide this feeling and we can have peaceful living. That's what should I do.
"My crying wife!" He whispered. I smiled.
"Do you want a hit?"
"No. No."
"Are you happy?"
"Of course-------"
His phone rang.
"Excuse me." He dragged me to the other side. It was the nurse in the hospital.
They were talking right now.
"I'm sorry but I need to go to the hospital. I am needed."
"It's fine."
I answered. He told his parents that he will go to the hospital. He sent me to his house. Our family and our friends take care of the after party.
I was left alone in the room.
The house is not so big but beautiful. I love it.
After I changed,I roamed around the house. All the corners are very detailed. I like the lanai. I can see flowers and green lushes of grass. The soft air will perfectly get inside as the wide window is opened.
There are three rooms on the second level. The masters bedroom is great too with the white and black match up. It was not so minimalist. There is a hairdresser which is intended for me. The wardrobe is full of clothes. The comfort room is not just simple but a big bath tub in there. I love it because I can see the city lights while I'm relaxing on the bath tub. Wow! Billionaire's home is one of a kind.
Two bedrooms were vacant. Other  room is for entertainment where I can watch movie. It is not so big.

I couldn't notice the time. It's 12 midnight. My phone rang. It was him.
"Hello?"
"Hi. Are you still awake?"
"Hmm."
"I'm going home."
"Okay."
"Did you like the house?"
"Of course. "
"Thanks. I'm glad to hear that."
I smiled.
I went down and wait for him in the living room. I turned on the TV. It was our favorite documentary show.
Then the door opened. He put his jacket on the sofa and sat beside me.
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations to you too!" I said. We both stared at each other.
