Chapter 3 Her Rival

Various thoughts were running through Skyler's mind as she looked out of the window. She was sitting in the car with Mason beside her, who kept ignoring her as he pressed his phone. Skyler turned from the window to peep at him again. Is he really from the Delgado family? If yes then who was he because she has seen Jacob and Hudson and also the youngest grandson, Carson.

Was there another one she didn't know about or maybe he was just bearing the last name? He can't possibly be the 'Mason Delgado' everyone was looking for.

"Just ask" Mason didn't take his gaze from his phone when he said that. He noticed her looking at him countless times and he was sick of it.

Skyler cleared her throat before looking at him properly.

"I just learned your last name is Delgado so I was wondering if you are related to old man Mario" she asked slowly.

"Hmm," he nodded, still pressing his phone while Alvin was stylishly watching them through the concave mirror.

Skyler gulped nothing down her throat before opening her mouth to speak again.

"If you're from the Delgado family then what is your name?" She kept her eyes firmly on his face.

"Mason" he didn't think twice before giving her an answer.

Skyler's eyes widened like it was about to pop out of its socket.

"Mason?" She repeated.

He looked at her and nodded.

"No, I don't believe you... you're pulling my legs right now! How can you be Mason? Do you know who Mason is? He's the hidden billionaire everyone is looking for! How can you be him!!" Skyler was starting to freak out.

She can't be married to the hidden billionaire. He was rumored to make good clothes with really cool designs and she admired him a lot so how could this man sitting here be him?

"I don't believe you" she shook her head.

"Alvin, can you take a turn to the nearest mall? I can't bring my wife home dressed up like this" Mason ignored her as he instructed Alex on what to do next.

Skyler's cheeks burnt when he called her his wife. The only person she pictured saying that was Felix but she guess things don't work out the way people hope. She was hoping to get married and see herself with kids, she was hoping to be called Mrs Skyler Newman but now she was called Skyler Delgado.

She sighed and looked out of the window. Now she was married to the hidden billionaire everyone was looking for. She wondered how life would be for her when people found out she was now related to him.

All eyes were on Skyler as she stepped into the mall with Mason and Alvin. Skyler could guess that they were looking at her wedding dress and she was not wrong judging from the side comments she was hearing.

"Is she just going back from her wedding or something?

"The gown looks beautiful!

"Why is she putting on that to the mall? Is she trying to grab attention or something?

"Is the handsome man beside her, her husband?

"He's cute!

"I bet they will make some good babies!

"Let's go over to this side" Mason pointed to a place where some good-looking gowns were kept and Skyler followed him.

"Pick the one you want" he dipped his hands in his pocket as he stared at the gown.

They were not from his brand and they didn't look as good as the ones his family makes. Maybe when she gets home with him she will get better clothes.

Skyler picked an orange gown that had a golden zipper in front of it. The zipper was used to divide the thigh openings of the gown.

"A gold-colored heels will match with it" he simply said and Skyler nodded.

They went to the shoes section and Skyler picked a pair of gold heels of her size and a small black purse that matched the outfit.

"You should test it and make sure it fits you well so we can pay and leave" he added.

Skyler nodded she went to the dressing room, and she came out a few minutes later. She didn't have the best body but the gown fits her so well.

She stared at Mason who just looked at her from head to toe a few times before nodding his head.

"Looks good, take it off, and also take some makeup along with you so Alvin can pay for it," he said next.

Skyler did as told and Alvin paid before she wore it again for the second time. They also got a bag she used to fix her wedding dress before they went back to the car.

"I want to call my mom, my phone isn't with me and I'm sure she would be worried sick about me" Skyler muttered after a while of staying silent and looking at the road as the car moved at a steady speed.

"You can use my phone" Alvin passed his phone to her.

"Thank you" she muttered and dialed her mom's number.

After some rings, Kiara picked.

"Mom it's me, Skyler," she said and Kiara's voice began ringing out.

"Skyler, my baby where are you? Give me your location I'll come pick you up. I know you're hurt but don't do anything to yourself I beg of you!!" Kiara sounded like she was crying.

"Mom, I'm fine" Skyler muttered.

"Okay then tell me where you are, I'll come pick you up!"

"No Mom I can't but I'm fine, I might return home late or tomorrow morning but I am fine" Skyler tried to assure her.

Mason was just listening without saying anything.

"Skyler!! What is happening?" Kiara asked.

"I'll explain everything to you when I'm back but I'm fine, I need to return this phone to the owner, I'll talk to you later, I love you" Skyler hung up immediately after saying that.

She faced the window to hide the new set of tears that were pouring from her eyes. Mason let out a quiet sigh before passing her a tissue.

"You shouldn't look tortured on the way to my family Mansion, luckily we brought some makeup, you should use them," he said to her.

Skyler nodded and collected the tissue, she wiped her face before opening her purse to take the makeup out.
