MARRIED TO THE HIDDEN BILLIONAIRE

“Bro!!” Ivy flew from her chair and rushed to hug Mason who just stepped foot inside the living room. He only parted her back twice, there was no current expression on his stoic face but he was happy to see his sister.

Ivy hugged his waist and looked up at him.

“Look at you, you have changed a lot now, you’re so handsome and I’m proud. Hey bro, do you know that everyone is looking for you? Many years back, no one cared about you but now…

“Ivy, your brother just got back from Paris, allow him to go freshen up in his room and come down for dinner before you bug him” Maya rolled her eyes from where she sat.

Ivy pouted and stepped away from Mason but hugged his arms tight.

“I haven’t seen my brother for close to seven years, it’s normal for me to act this way” she pouted her lips.

Mason didn’t mind her, he just walked over to the dining and bowed to old man Mario.

“Grandpa, mother, father, uncles, aunties and cousins. My greetings to all of you” he greeted them.

“Welcome back cousin” Hudson smiled at him but Mason didn’t mirror it.

“Cuz is this you? You look so handsome” Carson admired him but as usual, Mason didn’t look bothered about the comments.

“Welcome back, Mason” Edna muttered to herself but Mason wasn’t even looking at her.

Jacob didn’t say anything.

Maya stood up and hugged him, she cupped his cheeks and took a good look at his face.

“You look so stressed, you’ve been working extra than usual, try taking a little rest so you won’t collapse,” Maya said gently.

“I’m fine Mother” Mason took Maya’s hands away from his face.

“You should go upstairs and shower then come down for dinner” Dylan didn’t spare his son a glance when he spoke.

Mason just nodded.

“I will show you your room bro, I had the maids clean it all up for you!” Ivy hugged his arms tighter before pulling him towards the staircase.

Maya only stared at them with a smile.

“Ivy is really happy to see her brother” she whispered to Dylan and Rosa just rolled her eyes.

A few minutes later, Mason came back with Ivy. He was dressed in an ash-colored long-sleeve-fitting t-shirt that brought out the muscular view of his body, a black jogger with black Gucci slippers.

“Come sit beside me bro,” Ivy said to him but Dylan glared at her.

“Don’t worry Dad, I miss my sister too” Mason muttered and she smiled as he sat beside her.

“Since we are all complete, I’ll start the prayers so we can eat and after dinner, I want to talk to Mason and Hudson,” Grandpa Mario said.

Hudson looked at him and nodded but Mason kept a blank face.

“What about my son?” Rosa frowned.

“He’s still too young to have a meeting with father” Maya gave her a mocking smile.

“You-

“Can you not start now Rosa?” Antonio, who had been quiet all along, finally spoke.

Rosa glared at everyone before keeping shut.

SKYLER’S PLACE★© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Who can join me in counting the stars? One, two, there…” Skyler counted nothing on the air and laughed drunkenly as Ashely and Wendy knocked on her door.

They partied to their fullest last night and Skyler got drunk.

The door opens, revealing a middle-aged but beautiful woman putting on glasses. Her eyes went to Skyler and she gasped.

“Sorry Aunty Kiara, she had a lot of fun,” Wendy said.

“Yes Mom, I saw Queen Elizabeth, she attended my wedding” Skyler replied in a drowsy voice.

Kiara took Skyler from the girls.

“Queen Elizabeth is dead and you haven’t done your wedding,” Kiara said and Skyler looked at her face in surprise.

“I haven’t done my wedding and the queen is dead? No!!” She began crying and Ashely shook her head.

Kiara just smiled and then faced the girls.

“It’s getting late, the both of you should go so you would wake up early and get to the wedding venue on time,” Kiara said to Ashley and Wendy, ignoring the way Skyler was crying.

“Okay aunt, good night, we can’t wait to see Skyler tomorrow” Wendy waved and Ashely nodded.

The girls left and Skyler was already singing Dynamite by BTS ( her voice sounded horrible )

“Shining through the city like the little funk and soul, so I’mma lights it up like a dynamite!!” She sang as Kiara dragged her to her room.

“Dananana yeah! Dananana yeah!”

“Can you shut up!” Kiara groaned and dropped Skyler on her bed, she took off the heels Skyler was putting on.

“I’m getting married tomorrow mom, how many grandkids do you want?” She pouted.

“You are already thinking of grandkids? Gosh!” Kiara shook her head as she helped Skyler take off her dress.

“Mom!!” Skyler pouted when Kiara pulled her up and dragged her to the bathroom.

She put her in the bathtub.

“Shower first and feel comfortable in your sleep, I wonder why you drank so much” Kiara muttered as she went to grab her makeup cleaner.

“Ashely and Wendy made me do it” She dragged so much on the ‘Made’

Kiara rolled her eyes and cleaned her makeup before helping her to soak up and take her back to her bed.

Skyler hugged her pillow and looked elsewhere as she pouted her lips while Kiara’s eyes went to her sketchbook that was open on her table.

She smiled as she stared at it before closing the book and turning off the light.

DELGADOS’ MANSION★

In the old man’s study room, Mason and Hudson could be seen sitting opposite Grandpa Mario.

“I’m sure the both of you must be wondering why I called all of a sudden” The old man looked at the both of them.

“We don’t know anything Grandpa” Hudson replied since he knew Mason didn’t have any knowledge about why their grandfather called them.

Mario brought out a file and passed it to Mason, Mason took it and opened it immediately and as he was going through it, Hudson stylishly put his head to look at it.

“No way! You’re allowing Mason to be in charge of D•S styles” Hudson gasped and Mason looked at the old man.

“Why are you giving me this?” He asked calmly.

“Yeah, you never let anyone go inside grandma’s company but you’re suddenly giving it to Mason?” Hudson looked surprised.

“He has shown his capability to finally handle D•S by his success throughout the years’ ‘ Grandpa Mario answered Hudson before facing Mason.

“You made a wise choice when you went to complete your school in Paris seven years ago” Grandpa Mario looked proud.

“What about me? Why did you call me here? Is it to make me feel like a fool?” Hudson pouted, looking a little offended.

“No, you’ve also worked hard but not enough and I’m giving Mason the privilege to give you a good position if he gets the company” Grandpa Mario replied.

Mason looked at him immediately. He was wondering what Grandpa meant by “if he gets the company”.

“I need to make sure you’re legal enough to control the company,” Grandpa Mario said.

“What do you mean grandpa?” Hudson asked and Mason kept his eyes on his Grandpa as he was interested in knowing the answer.

“You have to prove to me that you aren’t gay” Grandpa Mario finally let it out.
