MARRIED TO THE HIDDEN BILLIONAIRE

Jacob had a disappointed look on his face as he drove back home. He was coming from the hospital with the same problem he usually has, he failed his test as a doctor due to fear.

“I don’t know why I’m such a loser” he sighed and shook his head and continued driving but he suddenly hit someone without knowing.

He didn’t understand how it happened because it happened so fast. The hit seemed hard because the person’s body flew above his car and landed somewhere behind him.

Jacob stopped driving with his eyes widened. He didn’t just hit someone right now, did he?

He opened the door and came down then rushed behind his car to see who he hit. It was a woman, blood was already coming out from her head and he put his hands on his head, feeling shocked.

How could he do this?

AGNES’S PLACE★

“Baby!!” The entrance door opened and Agnes rushed in to hug Hailey who was sitting on the couch and watching the model run away.

“I miss you so much, why didn’t you tell me that you’re back?” Agnes pouted.

“Because I wanted to surprise you” Hailey smiled and Agnes hugged her even more.

After a while of hugging and greeting they both stepped away from each other.

“Why didn’t I see you at my graduation Mom? All my friends were with their parents and I was alone” Hailey suddenly turned angry at her mother.

Agnes let out a nervous smile. She didn’t have any valid reason not to show up at her daughter’s graduation so she just admitted she was wrong.

“Okay okay I agree that I was wrong but I was absent because I was trying to make your long-time dream come true,” Agnes said with a kind of devious smile.

“What dream?” Hailey looked confused.

“You are getting married to Mason!!” Agnes shouted happily and Hailey’s eyes widened.

“Really?” She asked with a smile but frowned back when she remembered something.

“Mason is married, his grandpa announced it some months back” she muttered with a sad face.

Right from small, she had always had a crush on him. She already knew what his face looked like before he started hiding it.

“Oh… it’s just fake, it’s nothing serious” Agnes rolled her eyes.

“How did you know that?” Hailey asked.

“Maya told me, she also wants you to marry her son and she likes you which is why we should go over to their place this evening for dinner. I’d talk to Maya about it,” Agnes explained to her daughter and she couldn’t stop smiling.

“You deserve to marry in that family Haley, don’t let anyone make you think otherwise” Agnes cupped her daughter’s cheeks as she spoke.

Hailey nodded with a wide smile.

Agnes didn’t care if Mason was married or not. She would make sure her daughter is involved in his family, whether she loves him or not, but she needs to be there for the future of her and her daughter.

“Let me call Maya and inform her” Agnes took her phone out of her purse before climbing the stairs.

DELGADOS’ MANSION★

It was evening, not too dark but Skyler was in the kitchen with Edna and Ivy, teaching them how to cook.

“There, you will just have to cut it so gently and be careful so you won’t cut your hands too” Skyler monitored Ivy closely as she watched her chop some vegetables.

“Skyler, I kinda don’t know what to do here,” Edna said nervously as she stared at the living fish that was swimming in a bowl.

Skyler smiled and moved closer to her.

“If you want to know how to cook a fish stew then you’d need to know how to kill a fish,” Skyler said.

“I’m not a murder and this fish looks gross” Edna squeezed her face.

“Just as gross as you” Ivy smirked and Edna used a spoon to scoop some of the fish water and poured it on Ivy’s face.

Ivy gasped and stopped chopping but Skyler came to stand in their middle.

“What is the number one rule when you’re in the kitchen?” She asked while standing akimbo.

“Don’t fight when you’re in the kitchen” both Ivy and Edna muttered in a dry tone at the same time.

Skyler smirked and nodded.

“What do you think you’re doing Ivy!” Maya suddenly barged in with angry eyes but it reduced a bit when she saw Skyler.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“You two are learning how to cook, nice, it’s so sweet to see all of you getting along as a family,” she said with a forced smile.

Skyler also forced a smile and nodded at her.

“Okay, carry on” Maya walked away and Skyler sighed.

“Aunt Maya is acting weird isn’t she?” Edna muttered.

“Yeah, I thought she was going to scold us like she did the other time” Ivy added and Skyler nodded in agreement.

•••

Maya went to old man Mario’s study instead. He was busy doing some calligraphy when he saw her standing by the door.

“Maya come in” he called and she walked in, then sat opposite him.

She peeped at his calligraphy and smiled.

“Dad, your skills keep increasing every day,” she smiled at him.

“Hmm.. I know” The old man smiled and continued drawing.

Maya looked left and right thinking of where to start. She had been so nice to Skyler in front of him so asking for favors can’t be too bad now.

“Dad” she cleared her throat and he looked at her.

“My friend Agnes is back from Texas along with her daughter, I don’t know if you remember them..” she started.

“I remember, Agnes and Hailey,” the old man nodded.

“Will it be okay if I invite them over for dinner?” Her heart was beating fast as she asked and when the old man didn’t reply, she immediately involved Ivy.

“Ivy misses her, I want to also surprise Ivy” she added hoping the old man could say something positive.

“Sure, they are free to come home for dinner” He agreed, which surprised Maya.

“Really?” She asked and the old man nodded again.

Maya immediately flew from her chair and rushed to hug him.

“Thank you so much, Dad, thank you!!” She rejoiced happily.

“Hmm, if that’s all you can leave now, I need to be busy with my calligraphy” he shooed her away.

Maya left and took out her phone to dial Agnes’ number.

“He said yes,” she said happily.

Pretending to like Skyler in front of the old man was paying off and sooner she would stylishly kick Skyler out of the family.

UNKNOWN★

Venom stared at the men who were carrying the body of Brody out of his room with nothing but rage burning on his face.

“He’s so useless, how can one girl do this to him? He should thank his stars that he died before I came” he grunted angrily before walking out of his room.

The man he could see as his dad was already speaking to some of his guards about the girl.

“She must not have gone too far because she’s not in good shape so look for her and kill her the moment you set your eyes on her” he ordered.

“Yes boss” the guards bowed and rushed out of the building.

Venom stood beside his dad.

“What if they don’t find her and she ruins what we have been planning for ages, what are we to do? Shouldn’t I go extreme on Mason now? He keeps getting on my nerves now and then” Venom clenched his fist as he spoke.

“Don’t act rash, just keep giving him baby threats and we will get to him in the most unexpected way ever” the man replied.

Venom was not satisfied with what his dad was saying but he just nodded.
