MARRIED TO THE HIDDEN BILLIONAIRE

Skyler just finished working on some parts of Edna’s dress before covering her book and stretching her hands.

The telephone began ringing, she looked at Mason and he was still walking, she sighed and went to pick up the phone.

“Hello?”

“Mason” Maya’s voice sounded.

“Mason your mom” Skyler faced him with the phone.

“I’m busy, let her tell you all she has to say to you then you’ll tell me later” Mason continued pressing his laptop.

“Don’t worry, Skyler it’s you I want to talk with, please forgive me, I’m sorry for calling you jinxed and when you’re back, please plead with my dad on my behalf” Maya said in a hurry, without waiting for her Skyler to agree or disagree, she hung up.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Skyler just shook her head and put the phone back on the stand.

“What did she say?” Mason closed his laptop and stood up.

“That she’s sorry for calling me jinxed and I should plead with Grandpa on her behalf” Skyler replied and Mason scoffed.

“That’s not how an apology is done, I’m not accepting it” he shook his head.

“But she’s your mother, just let it go” Skyler pouted at him.

“Look at all the fûcks I give” he replied and Skyler just sighed, not knowing what to say.

“So ready for the walk?” He asked and she nodded happily.

He stretched his hands out for her which she accepted before they both left the room.

LIGHTHOUSE HIGH★

Carson just rested his head on his table, looking at Mr Brown ( their math teacher ) facing the board and solving some math. He couldn’t understand or even hear what Mr Brown was saying.

His eyes were closing and opening, he was dozing and trying not to sleep off but it wasn’t helping.

Mr Brown turned to face them and he suddenly transformed into James. Carson’s eyes cleared in an instant.

James smirked at him and threw the chalk away before walking towards him in slow motion.

“James, what are you doing?” Carson looked confused.

James just smirked and brought his fingers to raise Carson’s chin. He leaned closer to his face and smirked even more.

“Admit it, Carson, you want me” he whispered, still leaning closer to Carson, and Carson slowly closed his eyes.

“Carson”

“Carson!”

“Carson!!” Mr Brown flicked Carson’s head this time and Carson woke up from his imagination instantly.

He looked around and noticed the class was laughing at him.

“You’re sleeping in my class and pouting your lips at me, are you kissing a girl in there?” Mr Brown said and the students laughed even more.

Carson felt his cheeks burn red in embarrassment.

“I’m sorry sir” he muttered.

“Sorry for yourself, it’s either you sit straight or leave my class” Mr Brown scoffed and went back to the board.

Carson began rubbing on his temple wondering why his moment with James won’t leave his head.

‘If those guys didn’t open the door, would I have kissed him?’ he thought to himself.

“Hey Carson, are you okay?” Fred moved closer to him and whispered.

“Who were you kissing? You almost kissed Mr Brown” Simon whispered and he and Fred laughed among themselves.

Carson glared at them before stylishly turning back, he saw James sitting somewhere there and giving him that dark smile, he quickly faced his front.

EVENING; REDLOCK HOTEL★

Mason stood in front of the mirror, arranging his tie in his well-ironed suit properly, he picked up perfume and sprayed it on the sides of his neck.

Someone rang the bell in their room and he dropped the perfume before going to see who it was. A female attendant stood, holding a medium-sized pox.

“This package came for you sir,” he said and Mason collected it from her and then closed the door.

The door by the left opened and Skyler came out pointing a blue dress on her body.

“Mason you’re a fashion designer too, how does this look on me?” She asked with a type of nervous smile.

Mason stared at her from head to toe. “Hideous” he replied without beating around the bush.

“Excuse me?” Skyler widened her eyes and he stretched the box he was holding to her.

“What’s there?” She narrowed her eyes at him.

“Why don’t you first find out” he replied and she opened the box immediately. What welcomed her was the sight of a good-looking red designed dress.

She gasped and brought it out.

“Mason.. this..” she didn’t even know what to say.

“Do you like it?” He asked but she was still too shocked to reply.

“I got it for you because I thought it would look really good on you, try it and see for yourself that I’m not wrong,” he said proudly.

“I… thank you Mason” Skyler smiled at him before going back to the bathroom.

A few minutes later, she came back dressed in a red gown with some makeup, her hair was let down, and a few accessories on her body with silver heels.

“Well?” She asked nervously but Mason was just looking at her without saying anything.

He thought she looked really beautiful, if he had seen other women in the past including Linda but he was sure that they were nowhere compared to this woman standing in front of him.

“I look horrible don’t I” Skyler pouted her lips sadly and Mason came back to earth immediately. He cleared his throat and put his hands in his pocket.

“Sincerely speaking, you look really beautiful,” he said with the most sincere look ever and if Skyler wasn’t wrong, she could see some sparkles in his eyes.

Skyler only just stared at him, not knowing what to say. That was the most sincere look she had ever seen, even Felix had never looked at her this deeply to compliment her beauty.

“Thank.. you” she smiled at him before taking her small handbag and moving towards him.

“So where are we going for dinner?” She asked with a type of smile but Mason’s eyes were on her deep red lips, a little part of her lipstick-stained her face and he brought his thumb to wipe it off.

“Surprise” he replied while Skyler just stared at his face without blinking.

“Let’s go” he raised one of his brows and she blinked before nodding.

And they both left the room.

DELGADOS’ MANSION★

Maya was sitting on a chair in her room and looking at her face in the mirror when someone knocked on her door.

“Who’s there?” She looked from the window and the door opened before Ivy stepped in with a tray of food.

“Mom, here” She hurriedly stepped in and dropped the plate on the bed.

“Ivy” Maya stood up and hugged her daughter tightly.

“Ivy your mother is suffering, look at me I’m not eating well or using good skin products. I’m getting old and ugly” Maya cried.

“No Mom, you’re not, Skyler will come back on Monday, just apologize to her and end all these” Ivy cupped her mom’s cheeks and dried her tears.

“Skyler again? Can’t you see she’s the cause of my problems!’ Maya cried out.

“Skyler is a cool mom, you should be glad Mason found her,” Ivy replied before stepping away from Maya.

“I won’t be having dinner with you guys, my director is treating us for one so I’ll see you later. I already talked to Grandpa and he said I can go, goodnight and make sure you eat” Ivy waved at Maya before leaving the room.

Maya burst out in tears and fell back on the chair.

DINE WITH ME★

A big signboard with some shining light that says dine with me could be seen as Mason’s car stopped at the parking lot and he came down then helped Skyler with the door.

Skyler gasped at seeing the place.

“You brought me to dine with me?” Skyler looked surprised.

Dine with Me was one of the biggest restaurants for rich couples to have dinner. She used to admire the place on magazines and YouTube but would she be coming here for real? What a life.

“Now is not the time to drool, let’s go” Mason showed her his elbow which she smiled and accepted before they began going in.

The glass door opened automatically for the both of them but Skyler bumped into two unexpected people.
