MARRIED TO THE HIDDEN BILLIONAIRE

A few weeks have passed since Mason announced the sales party coming up next month, though it wasn’t up to a month one more week would equal a full moon youth.

The fashion students were doing some hard work by working on dresses for models. Each of them was given their models that would wear their clothes.

Currently, Skyler was in an empty tailor’s room, working on her current dress. From her face alone, it looked like she wasn’t feeling well.

“Hey Skyler, can you lend me some scissors?” Jasper walked in and met Skyler coughing.

“Hey, are you already?” He rushed to her and held her back, looking worried.

“I’m fine, it’s just the sales party stuff is stressing me out, what do you want?” She asked him.

“I wanted scissors but I saw you didn’t look too good, if the sales party stuff is stressing you out like this then you should take a little break for yourself, your health is more important,” he said softly.

Skyler didn’t want to take any break because she didn’t want to disappoint Mason. She wanted her dress to stand out so Mason would be proud of her.

“I’m fine, here you go” she passed him the scissors.

“But Skyler..” Jasper didn’t collect the scissors because he was worried.

“Can you just take it, I told you I’m fine!!” Skyler snapped at him.

Jasper stared at her and scoffed.

“I was only worried about you so you don’t have to take your frustration out on me and where is your husband by the way? Can’t he see that you are unwell?” He rolled his eyes and took the scissors before leaving the tailor’s room for her.

“He can’t see that, I don’t want to let him down for the sales party and I don’t wanna disappoint myself” she muttered to herself.

Felix could be seen standing in front of D•S and looking around. This past week, he had bombarded Skyler’s Instagram with likes and comments, he even messaged her sometimes and she went into a full snub mood with him.

“Baby, you came” his thought was Interrupted when an arm wrapped around his neck and a lip landed on his.

It was Lilian, his new girlfriend now.

“I’m done with work, let’s go” she hugged his arms.

“Oh.. and I wanted to go in and look for you,” he said with a nervous laugh.

Lilian also joined in the laughter before pushing him forward.

“Let’s go!” She said with a smile.

Felix let out a smile too and began leaving with her but it turned back to D•S to take a look. Skyler was there and she was the only one who could help him but since he was dating Lilian, he could also give him some tips on what they have been doing so he can get ahead of them.

DELGADOS’ MANSION★

“Hi, any news about her?” Jacob asked on the phone while sitting on the bed.

“She’s doing fine but she’s still asleep” the doctor in the hospital that was in charge of the girl that got hit, replied from the other end.

“Why is she sleeping for so long?” Jacob groaned, feeling frustrated.

He hit her by mistake, took her to the hospital, and paid her for her treatment but she won’t wake up so he can compensate her so there wouldn’t be issues but she won’t wake up.

A knock sounded on his door and he immediately cut the call.

“Yes, come in,” he said and the door opened revealing Rosa.

He should have asked who it was before telling the person to come in.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Rosa looked a bit nervous to talk to him so she stared by looking around the room.

“How, you’re one tidy man,” she said with a nervous smile but Jacob didn’t say anything.

She sighed and moved closer to him.

“Jacob, my son…

“So I’m your son now? It’s funny because when did you start acknowledging me as your son?” He cut her off and narrowed his eyes as he asked this question.

“I’ve always acknowledged you as my son Jacob!” She replied.

“Oh, I didn’t know that,” Jacob scoffed.

“I get it, you have every right to be mad at me because I’ve treated you so badly, I’ve been the worst mother and never considered your feelings in the selfish things I do because I only wanted to make you tough, I wanted to push you up and I wanted you to be as active as your cousin, I didn’t realize I was being too hard till you stayed away for more than two days and it kills me to think that you were fed up of me and went to do the exact thing your father did” she burst out in tears.

Jacob was really surprised to see his mom like this. Does she care about him or was she putting on an act?

“Why are you suddenly trying to be good?” He then asked.

“Because I talked to Skyler and she made me realize my mistake. If I had supported you like every other mother would especially after your father’s death then maybe by now, you would own your hospital. No one can encourage you more than me, I believe you can go out there, push your fears aside, and finally be what you want to be, and trust me, I’ll be in the front row, cheering for you, I promise” she said and wiped her tears.

Jacob didn’t know what to say. What his mother did was something he had never imagined her to do in the next hundred years to come, how did Skyler manage to talk to her?

“Thank you Mom” he muttered and Rosa smiled.

“Thank you too for forgiving me, I’d leave you now, love you” she smiled and Joshua found it hard to say it back to her because they had never exchanged words in almost twenty years of his life.

He just cleared his throat and nodded, Rosa understood him so she didn’t take it as an offense when she left.

Jacob smiled and took his phone, he searched for Skyler’s name and began sending her a text message to thank her.

‘Mom came to talk to me today and she said you gave her some advice. I’m grateful sister-in-law, thank you

EVENING★

When Skyler got back, she was feeling so sick that she couldn’t talk to anyone so she went straight to the room to lay on the bed and wrapped herself with a big blanket.

Mason came back some hours later, looking tired too but what bothered him the most was Skyler not replying to his text or picking up his calls.

He was surprised to see her lying on the bed and wrapping herself in the blanket from head to toe.

“Beautiful?” He creased his brows and went to sit on the bed, after touching her forehead, he immediately withdrew his hands.

“That burnt, why is she burning up?” He muttered and tapped her gently.

She slowly opened her eyes to stare at him, she didn’t even have the strength to talk to him.

“Beautiful, are you sick?”
