MARRIED TO THE HIDDEN BILLIONAIRE

Skyler was startled at first before a slow smile appeared on her face and she patted Ivy’s back. Ivy pulled away from the hug and Skyler helped her to clean her eyes.

“What happened? Come sit down and talk” Skyler and Ivy sat on the stairs while Skyler looked at Ivy, waiting for her to start talking.

Ivy brought out her phone and showed the hate comments to Skyler.

“You know I’m shooting a new movie with Blake Andrews and his girlfriend Regina Wilson didn’t seem happy about it, you know she even warned me to stay away from him and I don’t know why she went as far as to do this interview. Now the whole world thinks I’m a homewrecker” Ivy explained and sniffed back the tears that were trying to come out from her eyes again.

“I know Regina Wilson, I was a fan of her because I thought she was pretty but not anymore” Skyler scoffed and returned Ivy’s phone to her.

“You know, she’s not kinda wrong because I do like Blake. I think it was love at first sight because I got attracted the moment I set my eyes on him in person. I have worked with plenty of handsome actors but Blake is the first because to made me react this way and when I found out he has a girlfriend, I was sad, I thought I wouldn’t like him anymore but it kept getting worse and Regina came to warn me about him” Ivy then looked at Skyler.

“But heavens can testify that I wasn’t planning to steal or sabotage him from his girlfriend. Now everyone is accusing me and I don’t know what to say, I’m putting the family into a dirty rumor” She blocked her face with her palms.

Skyler sighed and held her shoulders.

“It’s not your fault that you liked him, the important thing is realizing you can chase him because he is taken so you shouldn’t let the rumor get to you. I’d advise you to stop looking at your phone so you won’t be affected by the cyberbullying” Skyler squeezed on her shoulders.

“But what if Blake breaks up with Regina in the future and it has nothing to do with me then can I chase after him?” She asked and Skyler just smiled at her innocent look.

“It’s not a crime to do so, you and Regina are not friends and he is no longer seeing her so nothing can stop the both of you from seeing each other” Skyler replied.

“Including the internet?” Ivy raised one of her brows.

Skyler chuckled and tapped her shoulder.

“Don’t let the internet live your life for you Ivy, you came alone and you will live on this earth alone. Your haters or fans won’t enter your cascade with you, they will only cry about you for some time and move on” Skyler replied to her.

Ivy smiled and nodded then Skyler stood up to leave, Ivy also stood up too.

“Uhm.. Skyler, I loved the way your beef soup smelled that night. I’m suddenly craving it, if you don’t mind, can you prepare it for me and also teach me how to make it?” She stylishly asked.

“Sure, come with me” Skyler smiled and began climbing down the stairs while Ivy happily followed from behind.

MY MODELS★

Regina hugged her tiny waist as the photographer took pictures of her in a white knee-length gown that had a long cloth design on both sides, dropping on the floor.

“Yes ma’am, give it the sexy,” the photographer said and she changed her pose to a more sexy one.

The glass door opened for Blake to step in. His hands were dipped inside his pocket as he watched Regina without a smile on his face.

Regina saw him and smiled.

Soon she was done taking pictures, she didn’t change before going to see him.

“Babe, you came today, do you miss me?” She wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned to kiss his lips but he looked elsewhere and her lips landed on his cheeks.

She frowned at him.

“Why are you rejecting me?” She asked and at the same time, slowly taking her arms off him.

“Why did you do that?” He looked at her.

“Do what?”

“That interview,” He answered.

Regina scoffed and crossed her arms together.

“You’re unbelievable, rejecting me for the sake of another woman, how absurd” she scoffed again.

“It wasn’t really necessary!” He said hardly.

“I just wanted to make sure she knows her place” Regina rolled her eyes and began taking off the long cloth design from her waist.

“What do you mean?” Blake narrowed his eyes.

“She’s eyeing you Blake, I think she has a thing for you” Regina replied.

“So you did that interview on purpose?” he looked a bit surprised before nodding his head.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Well… I..” Regina looked unsure of what to say.

“Regina, Ivy is my work partner and the last thing she’d need now is any stress or whatever! Whether you thought she had a thing for me or not, you shouldn’t have done that, you know you went too far!” He scolded her.

“I just wanted to make sure I keep you” She tried holding his hands but he pushed it off.

“Keep me? Do I look like a puppet to you?” He frowned.

“You’re my boyfriend, Blake, I have every right!” Regina squeezed her face.

Blake only just smirked at her before walking away.

“Blake!!” Regina yelled after him but he was far gone.

DELGADOS’ MANSION★

“And that’s how to make a beef soup” Skyler smiled and closed the pot.

Ivy was just relaxing on the counter and watching with an amused smile.

“Why are you looking at me like I just performed a magic trick?” Skyler looked back at her with a smile.

“Because you did, how could you use those ingredients to make all that, now I regret why I can’t cook” Ivy pouted her lips.

“My mom told me that cooking is really important for women. Men can love their wives and can add extra love with her cooking even the kids too” Skyler replied.

“Mason and your future kids are lucky then,” Ivy said with a smile.

Skyler’s cheeks just turned red.

“It’s too early to start looking for a child,” she muttered.

She hasn’t even gotten revenge on Felix yet or fulfilled her dream of becoming one of the most talented fashion designers in the world.

“Ivy!” A familiar voice sounded and both Ivy and Skyler turned back to see Maya with a not-too-pleased look on her face.

“What do you think you’re doing over there? Are you a maid?” She asked angrily.

“Mom it’s nothing, Skyler was just teaching me how to cook” Ivy replied and Maya glared at Skyler the next second.

“And what do you think you’re doing huh? My daughter is not like you! She doesn’t belong in the kitchen so never do this again!” she said harshly.

“What do you mean Mom? Every woman needs to know how to cook because they will get married one day” Skyler replied in a calm voice.

Maya scoffed.

“That saying is for peasants like you, not my daughter! We are the Delgados’ and we already have everything whereby you’re just a Wang! I don’t even know what that means but I’m sure you’re only here to eat my son’s money!” Maya scoffed and rolled her eyes.

Skyler gasped and clenched her fist tight, she badly wanted to say something but she just excused herself from Maya immediately.

“Mom, that was harsh!” Ivy glared at Maya.

“And when did you start liking her, I thought you were on my side!” Maya looked at Ivy angrily.

“I thought she sucked but she’s cool and now I know why Mason married her” Ivy replied and began going upstairs.

“Ivy, come back here! We aren’t done talking!” Maya shouted but Ivy already left.

She rolled her eyes and faced the pot of soup that was already boiling. It smelled nice but she would never admit it.

“Matilda!!” She shouted and Matilda rushed towards her immediately.

“How dare you allow that girl in our family’s kitchen? Do you want me to cut your salary?” She began scolding Matilda.

“I’m sorry ma’am, Miss Ivy insisted” Matilda bowed her head a little.

“That girl is already manipulating Ivy into becoming a nuisance! Anyways, turn this heater off and throw the rubbish in the pot away” Maya ordered.

Matilda slowly raised her head.

“But ma’am, the soup is still fresh, it’ll be a waste” she muttered.

“It’s either you do it or I will wipe off your salary for two months!” Maya glared at her and walked out of the kitchen.

Matilda sighed and turned off the gas then opened the pot. The strong aroma of the soup hit her nose but there was nothing she could do about it.

“Such a waste” She shook her head before taking the pot and began emptying it into the kitchen basin.
