MARRIED TO THE HIDDEN BILLIONAIRE

94 ( ??????? )

“I’m very sorry to cut this party halfway but if you can give me just five minutes to tell.. to wish” he slowly took his eyes to Skyler, she was smiling and nodding at him.

“We all know it’s old man Mario Delgado’s birthday today and I didn’t get him any physical gift. Yesterday when shopping for a gift, my wife asked me why I prefer to express my feelings by spending millions just to tell my Grandpa how much he matters to me and how much I appreciate him being alive every day to live this life with us”

“Grandpa is now eighty years old and I’m making a change today. When I was a kid, I remember spending time with my Grandpa more than my parent and I wouldn’t be who I am today if not because of him, all the encouragement, the education, and the time we spent together really helped me, it made me who I am today, all the pestering found me a loving wife”

When he said that people were already clapping, Grandpa Mario just kept smiling.

“Come to think of it, you’ve brought nothing but good news in my life and I’m standing here to tell you how grateful I am for your existence every day. Happy birthday Grandpa, I.. I love you Grandpa” It was really hard for him to say that last part but he did.

People were clapping, Grandpa picked up his walking stick and found his way to the stage.

“That’s the most sincere speech I’ve ever heard from you my baby Grandson” he smiled.

“Stop calling me that Grandpa” Mason frowned and the old man only chuckled.

“Forcing you to get married wasn’t a bad idea after all, come here” the old man hugged him but he didn’t bother returning the hug.

“Hey I haven’t seen you before, you are you?” Rosa asked when she saw Miguel looking at the stage where Mason and his Grandpa were standing.

He was shocked to see the hidden billionaire’s face, turns out the years of wearing a nose mask weren’t a waste, he was so handsome.

“Oh, I’m a friend of Edna, she invented me” he faced Rosa and replied.

Rosa only nodded while looking at him from head to toe.

“Never knew Edna keeps people like you as friends” she muttered.

“What do you mean?” Miguel said slowly.

“I mean, Edna only hangs out with classy people, people with high class but I’m surprised you’re her friend” Rosa repeated before walking away to meet some of her friends.

Miguel looked left and right before starting at the bracelet. He suddenly remembered what Edna said, she was trying to save him from a lifetime embarrassment, this bracelet was too cheap for the old man.

He began thinking, the old man has close to a trillion dollars in his account and he was bringing something that’s not half a hundred thousand dollars as a birthday gift, what was he even doing here? Is he trying to embarrass himself in front of all these people?

He looked at Edna who was still trying to get someone on the phone. He shook his head before turning around and leaving.

DELGADOS’ MANSION★

The party was finally over and everyone was back home, throughout the ride back, Ivy didn’t look too good.

“Are you okay, you’ve been squeezing your face since we were coming back?” Skyler asked.

“I don’t know, my tummy just hurt bad” Ivy replied and Maya immediately rushed to her.

“Is it that bad? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?” She asked and Ivy negatively shook her head.

“It can’t be that serious, maybe I just ate and drank too much, I’m going to bed” he muttered and began climbing the stairs.

“And what about you, you haven’t been smiling throughout the party but you and Ivy planned the whole thing?” Skyler asked Edna who was busy on her phone.

“It’s nothing, I’m also going to bed” Edna walked away.

“I’ll walk you upstairs” Mason stretched his hands out to Skyler.

“Don’t worry I can walk myself, my bump can’t stop me” Skyler rolled her eyes.

“Just shut up and take my hands beautiful, don’t make me give you punishment for what you made me do today” he gave her a knowing look.

Skyler pouted and accepted his hands.

“You’re so really mean” she scoffed as she left with him.

Maya was left alone looking worried.

“Why does your face look like that? It’s making you look older than usual?” Rosa walked towards her with a kind of smile.

Maya didn’t know how to reply so she only made faces at her before turning around and walking away.

Rosa only smiled before going her way too.

NEXT MORNING; CAMBRIDGE COMPANY★

Edna’s car stopped in front of Zach’s company. She didn’t wait for her driver to open the door for her before she came down and went in herself.

“Is Zach in his office?” She asked the receptionist the moment she got in.

“Yes ma’am, should I call him and tell him you’re outside” the receptionist replied with a smile but Edna shook her head.

“You don’t have to do all that, I’ll just go in myself” she began leaving.

The receptionist looked like she wanted to tell her something but she only pressed her lips and decided to wait for her to go find out herself.

Edna barged inside Zach’s office without knocking, she was surprised to see a girl her age sitting there, even Zach looked surprised to see her.

“Edna, what are you doing here?” He asked.

“What am I doing here? Do I need permission to visit my boyfriend Zach?” She crossed her arms before looking at the girl with him who looked rather innocent.

“Who’s she?” She asked in a controlled voice.

“She..”

“Is she the reason why you aren’t picking up my calls or text, is she the reason why you didn’t even escort me to get gifts for my grandpa? Or why you didn’t show up at my grandpa’s birthday party?” Edna didn’t wait for him to reply before she started talking.

“I thought you told me you’ve ended things with her?” The girl sitting with Zach whispered to him and Edna’s eyes widened.

“Oh, you were even planning to end things with me, how long have you been seeing her Zach?” She gave him an angry look.

“Edna..

“Answer me!!!” She screamed.

“Fine it’s two months back, I’m sorry Edna, you’re really beautiful, you’re hot, smart and successful but I can’t stand you, you still have a lot of things you need to fix about your personality, it was driving me crazy, I couldn’t so I fell in love with her, she’s simple but she’s everything I want”

The moment Zach said that Edna burst out into laughter before her eyes moved to the girl.

“You look Innocent but deep down you’re a bîtch for stealing my boyfriend from me. You were even dating him while we were together, you’re a bîtch!!!” Edna yelled at her

“I understand you’re mad but face me and not her, I was the one who dumped you!!” Zach said and she took her gaze back to him.

“I know what you want Zach, you want a girl you can control and when you can’t control them, you dump them and look for someone else like her, then when she’s expired, you dump her again and look for another, it’s such a pity, your new girl isn’t even worth half my net-worth” Edna smirked and arranged her hair backward.

“You still don’t get it, do you? No one is impressed by your money. We are done Edna, being with you wasn’t what I thought it would be, can you accept it and leave now” Zach pointed to his door.

Edna smirked and crossed her arms under her breasts.

“You’re not even all that Zach, you’re not even that hot or handsome, if I had known I would have picked Miguel instead of you, he doesn’t have money but he’s more of a man you are not,” she said.

Zach was still pointing at his door for her to leave.

“Fine! I’d leave and thanks for wasting seven months of my time, I’ll just dust you off like I dust my old shoes, hope you enjoy some quality time with your brand new girl and also when you’re sleeping with her, you can give her my favorite sèx position” she added before heading for the door and leaving.

When she got out, she stormed to her car.

“Leave!!” She ordered the driver.

“But ma’am”

“I said get out!!!” She yelled and the driver obeyed and came down.

She got in and started the car at a high speed. She didn’t want to cry in front of Zach or show any emotions that she was raging so she decided to do it on the highway.

“Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!” She screamed and hit her horn hard before pulling over and bursting out into a heavy round of tears.

“Zach you bastard!!!!!”
