MARRIED TO THE HIDDEN BILLIONAIRE

STARBUCKS STUDIO★

Ivy’s makeup artist was helping her with makeup in her van when someone knocked on the door.

“Daisy check who,” Ivy said to Daisy who was sitting in one place and pressing her phone.

“Okay,” Daisy stood up and went to open the van.

She saw Blake checking his wristwatch. When he saw her, he let out a soft smile.

“Is Ivy in, can I come in to see her?” He asked.

“Give me a second” Daisy smiled and went back in then walked over to Ivy.

“Who was that?” Ivy asked.

“Blake” she replied and Ivy’s heart skipped a beat on hearing his name.

“What is he doing here?” Her voice sounded tiny when she asked.

“I don’t know, he wants to see you I guess. Should I let him in or do you want to go see him outside?” Daisy asked.

“Let him in,” Ivy muttered and looked at her face in the mirror. The makeup was quite okay so there was nothing wrong with her face now.

Blake stepped in, he didn’t know if he should smile or just nod at her but he just pressed his lips together.

“How are you feeling now? The interview clip has been taken down already so the rumor should be reduced by now” he started talking.

“It has been taken down but people will still save it and talk about it” she mumbled without looking at his face.

Blake sighed and went to stand beside her.

“Look I’m sorry about Regina okay? I will make sure things like this don’t happen again” he apologized.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“It’s fine, I’m okay now” she smiled at him.

“Really?” He raised his two brows as he stared at her face.

“Yes!” Ivy stood up and faced him.

“I really am fine and besides tomorrow would be the last day of shooting, the last scene requires lots of episodes and I don’t think we wanna waste more time talking, we should be practicing so I’ll see you outside” she smiled at him.

Blake gave Ivy a look. Why does it feel like she was trying to chase him away? He just sighed and nodded.

“You’re right, the last scenes require more work, I’ll see you in the studio” he smiled back at her before leaving.

After he left, Ivy sat back on the chair and covered her face with her palms. When she saw him earlier it began occurring to her that they encountered each other because of the movie they were shooting and the shooting would be ending tomorrow which meant they would be back to their separate ways again.

Maybe then he can continue living a happy life with his girlfriend while she moves on with work and maybe find herself a boyfriend in the future.

DELGADOS’ MANSION★

Carson just descended the stairs dressed in his uniform and a leather black jacket. His hairstyle was busy and he fixed some piercings on his nose and ears.

“Carson I’ve packed your.. oh my gosh!” Emily froze on her steps when she saw his look.

“What do you think you’re doing? Why are you putting on that jacket and who allowed you to pierce your nose and ears!” She looked angry as she scolded him.

“Mom don’t freak out, I’m just trying to go for a little change” Carson rolled his eyes.

“By looking like a nuisance? No sir please take off the piercing and jacket, it doesn’t go with your school uniform” Emily crossed her arms under her breast with a serious look on her face.

“Come on Mom, Ryan does this and no one questions him” Carson frowned.

“Who’s Ryan?” Emily twitched her lips.

“My new rival, you see Mom there’s this girl I’m into but I heard she’s into bad boys alone so I did this” he pointed to his new look.

“And about the earrings Mom, it’s fake, I can remove them whenever I want” he took one of the earrings off and fixed it back on.

“See?” He added after doing at.

“Carson..” Emily dragged his name.

“For real Mom, I’m fine and I don’t need to take breakfast to school anymore. Give me a hundred dollars for lunch?” He stretched his hands out.

Emily sighed, she didn’t know what else to say to him, she just searched her pocket and gave the money to him.

“Thanks, Mom, love you” he blew her kisses before running out of the house.

Emily only turned back to look at his retreating figure.

“He doesn’t know” she muttered to only her hearing.

“Hey Ross, you’re off today, give me the keys and leave” Carson stretched his hands out to his driver.

Ross gave him the car key and walked away. Carson smiled then opened the car and entered.

“You think I can’t drive my car? I will show you” he said to himself before starting the car.

“Okay I don’t know what to do” he muttered when the car began moving. He gripped the steering wheel tight and nodded to himself.

“Just breathe and drive and be Gracie’s type of guy” he tried motivating himself and managed to drive out of the mansion to the street.

Now he was on the road with other cars and he began panicking and driving recklessly. The car began moving over in the direction of a big trash bin and his eyes widened.

“No! No! No! Not the trash bin, not the trash bin!!” He shouted and tried stopping the car but it kept going there.

“Nooooooo!!” He screamed as his car collided with the giant-sized trash bin.

DELGADOS’ MANSION★

Skyler was busy on the dress when a knock sounded on the door.

“Who’s there? Anyways I’m coming” She stood up and went to get the door, it was Jacob.

“Jacob, hi” Skyler waved at him.

“Heard you’re leaving with Mason this evening so I wanted to use this little opportunity to talk to you, are you busy?” He asked.

“I was but I can make time, let’s go outside” Skyler stepped out of the room and closed the door.

They were both sitting on the couch, Jacob was looking at the floor and playing with his fingers before he started.

“You know I went to the hospital a few days ago but I couldn’t do anything about my fear of blood,” he muttered.

“So you freaked out again?” She looked at him and he nodded his head.

“Look, it’s not like I took your advice for granted, I tried to follow it and believe in myself but I just couldn’t” he sighed and looked at her with his eyes getting red and misty.

“My dad was sick when he married my mom and each time they fought, my mom would always use his sickness to make fun of him and my dad didn’t like it. They argue almost every day and they don’t even try to hide it from me. In school, everyone asks me about them, and my classmates also make fun of me because my father’s illness has no cure and I do see my father crying about it sometimes”

“I decided to become a doctor in the future to save lives and cure all types of illnesses because of my dad so when I was eleven, my mom came home from work one night, she went to her and Dad’s room and she screamed out. I also went there and I saw my father commit suicide by hanging himself on the ceiling fan, not enough, he still slashed his neck by himself. His blood was everywhere and I love my dad so much, that I couldn’t get the image in my mind. Each time I see my blood I see my dad, I just can’t” he covered his face with his palms.

“If it’s so then how did you now study and pass medicine?” Skyler wondered out.

“I was good at the course but when it comes to that practical aspect, my mom always pays to fix the things I can’t do. That is why she calls me a disappointment all the time but I’m sick of it, Skyler, I want to do something by myself!” He said to her,

“Jacob” Skyler moved closer to him and held his shoulders. “If you want something then you should go for it, you know, the only one holding yourself backward is you, you didn’t take my advice too well, you should try to walk into that fear and see that there’s nothing there” she gently squeezed on his shoulders.

“But how?”

“Believe in yourself not what your mother or anyone else says about you” she replied.
