Chapter 2 Husband And Wife

"Married? I just got betrayed by my groom and you came from nowhere, asking for marriage? What a joke" She turned around and began walking away.

"Are you going to look for another car to kill you or will you marry me and help me take over my grandma's company while I help you get back at your ex?" he said, making her halt.

A slow smirk appeared on his face as he moved closer to her then stopped just a few centimeters behind her.

"He cheated on you, you loved and gave him everything but he threw it all away. Don't you want to see him suffer for the pains you're going through now? You want to die so he'd feel nothing and continue to cheat on you?" He didn't intend to whisper but that was how his voice came out.

Tears came out of Skyler's eyes. Yes, she would do anything to make Felix pay for what he did to her today.

She turned to face him.

"And how am I sure you won't go back on your words?" She asked, staring into his eyes with a sudden look of determination.

"Marry me and you will see for yourself" he replied, staring back into those ocean-blue eyes.

"Deal!" Skyler's lips moved.

She knew what she just did, she just agreed to marry a stranger on the same day she found out her ex had been cheating on her. If someone asks her for the stupidest decision she has ever made then she would have this story to tell.

"Wise decision" he replied then faced Alvin who was just looking in surprise.

"Alvin, cancel the flight to Paris and drive us to the county clerk" he ordered.

Alvin nodded and Skyler followed Mason to sit at the back before Alvin entered and resumed driving.

COUNTY CLERK★

Alvin opened the car for Skyler and Mason, Mason was in his sunglasses though, even if he wasn't putting his shades on, no one would recognize him because he has never been in the spotlight.

This time people's eyes were on them probably wondering why Skyler was dressed in her wedding gown and was in the county clerk.

Isn't she supposed to be in the church or something? Were the thoughts going through people's minds?

Mason ignored their looks as he stepped inside the office with Skyler. They went to the judge, she was a strict-looking woman, anyone would fear her at first glance but not Mason.

She looked at Skyler for a while before looking at Mason.

"And if I may ask, why are the both of you here?" She asked calmly.

"It's not polite to keep us standing" Mason replied instead and she pointed to the seat.

He sat with Skyler beside him and then crossed his legs with so much pride.

"We want to register our marriage" he replied to her question earlier.

The woman looked at Skyler again.

"Are you sure?"

"Do we look unsure?" He knitted his brows. The aura around him made the woman limit herself from all the things she was about to say.

"Marriage isn't a joke, the both of you have to think twice before getting yourselves inside it. Once I register the both of you, there are various responsibilities to face, are you ready?" She faced Skyler this time.

Skyler only nodded. She doesn't care how her life will be after this but Felix will pay for what he did to her.

"If it's so then may I see your rings?"

Skyler looked at Mason who brought out a box containing two rings, it was supposed to be for him and Linda but he guessed not anymore.

He took her hands and wore the ring on her slender third finger, she took him and wore it for him.

The woman brought out a file and passed it to them.

"Sign here, here, and write your names here" She gave it to Mason first.

Mason signed all he was supposed to sign and gave it to Skyler, she stared at the number for a few seconds before signing it.

The woman took the file and stamped it. She took the telephone and made a call then a man came in with a camera.

"I will need the both of you to sit close to each other," the photographer said.

Mason took Skyler's fingers and intertwined them with his then pulled her a bit closer to him.

Click! The picture was taken.

"Congratulations Mr and Mrs Delgado, you are hereby pronounced husband and wife!"

Skyler's eyes widened. Did she just hear Delgado? Is it the famous Delgado family or maybe another one that's not related to the powerful Delgado family?

But if she's getting married to one of Mario Delgado's grandsons then who was he?
