"Let's get 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?
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 be
Felix was filled with so much rage as he paced back and forth throughout the living room. The door opened and Felicia stepped in, she blocked her nose immediately and looked elsewhere. "You should limit the way you drink Felix" She moved closer to him and before she knew it, a loud slap landed on her face. Felix just slapped her hard and she couldn't believe it. The slap was strong enough to cut her lips. "Why did you ruin my wedding?" He looked at her with so much rage in his eyes. Felicia was still holding her cheeks, she scoffed and wiped the blood off her lips. "Shouldn't you thank me? Were you ready to marry her?" She replied and slowly dropped her hands from her cheeks. "For two and a half years, she has helped me with lots of things Felicia. She had a great impact on my career, she was making me stand out and you think I'm ready to lose all of that?" He yelled at her. "Skyler isn't the only one good at making good designs, I can be of help to" she moved closer to him. "F
"You... You know we are not for real" she whispered to him. "It's nothing to worry about really, the bed is big enough for the both of us to sleep and I don't really have any problem except you are going to jump on me" he shrugged his shoulders. Skyler's eyes widened, this man didn't just have a cold face, he was also full of himself but she can't blame him, all rich people were like that. "And when will I get to go home to talk to my mom and friends and explain all these to them?" She asked. "Tomorrow I have a few hours to go and my family will be home from work. Tomorrow on my way to the company, I'd drop you home" he replied and Skyler nodded. "Also if you feel uncomfortable in that dress then you can take it off. I have a big hoodie over there" he pointed to his drawl. "You can put it on and by tomorrow new clothes for you will arrive" he added before taking a good look at her body which made Skyler slightly uncomfortable. "What is the matter?" She squeezed her face at him.
Family dinner was almost over. Ivy and Edna didn't eat much because they claimed they didn't want to gain any weight and Carson left in other to leave for school early the next day. "Almost everyone are leaving so I better announce that Mason will be in charge of D•S styles from tomorrow" Grandpa Mario suddenly said. "What!?" Rosa stood up. "Please sit down, your son is not capable so we don't need your noise" Maya rolled her eyes. "It's not fair dad, you give your Mason and Hudson everything but you neglect Jacob!" Rosa said angrily. "Mom, I don't want to be a fashion designer," Jacob muttered to himself. "Then what do you want to be?" "I told you doctor, I have a good degree in medicine" he mumbled and Rosa angrily pointed at him. "Jacob you- "Doctor pays aunt, let Jacob be" Hudson rolled his eyes. "Jacob, the family is not opposed to you being a doctor. We will always support you" Grandpa Mario smiled at him. "Thank you Grandpa," Jacob muttered. "You're just! Urgh!!" Ros
When Skyler woke up, she saw Mason looking at his expression in the mirror as he was knotting his tie."What time is it?" She asked slowly as she was just waking up from sleep."9 am" he simply replied then picked up a gel and head brush that was on the stole beside him to style his hair."Oh," Skyler muttered and came down from the bed then began packing her loose hair into a single ponytail.Mason was done dressing, he turned to look at her face."What?" She asked and he pointed to the mirror.She moved towards the mirror and her eyes widened. There was some dry saliva at the side of her lips and she immediately covered her mouth with her palms."And I told you I wouldn't have a problem unless you jumped on me and you also did so last night" he added as he picked up his perfume then began spraying his neck.Skyler cleared her throat and wiped her mouth then turning to face him."You are done dressing already, are you still going to drop me off at my place today?" She slowly asked."
He was shirtless, his six-pack and muscular body came to public, his eyes were ocean blue, and his hair wet and curly."James" Carson mumbled hatefully.James came out of the water, picked up the towel on the lounge chair, and dried his face before moving closer to Carson."Mr Brown told me that you needed help in math," he said with a smile but Carson was just frowning.'Why must you always try to act so perfect?' Carson said inwardly as he glared at him."Yes," Carson rolled his eyes."I'd be glad to help but not here, I'll paste my house address in your locker and we can practice at my place" James winked at him.'Disgusting' Carson said inwardly but forced a smile."Yes then, I'll see you later" James hung the towel around his neck and walked away.The most annoying part to Carson is that James is gay. He has hit on his friends and despite girls knowing he was gay, they still trip for him."Luckily I'm not gay, I hate that dude" Carson shook his head and left.✬✬✬✬✬✬✬GLAMOROUS DE
"Are you looking for someone?" Her smooth and tiny voice rang in his ears and Carson's eyes widened. He immediately turned around to arrange his hair before turning to face her."Hey, my name is Carson and it's nice to meet you. I'm actually… I'm actually.."As Carson was talking, James appeared behind her back. A smile appeared on his face the moment he saw Carson."I was waiting for you, come on in" he made space for Carson to enter."Oh, you two are together?" The girl asked and Carson's eyes widened."No""Yes!" The both of them said at the same tight and Carson glared at James."No""Yes!"They said again and while Carson was still glaring at James, the girl turned around and left."Who was that anyways?" Carson then asked as he came in."My cousin, she just came back from Canada two days ago, care for some milk tea and cookies?" James was walking towards the kitchen as he asked."No," Carson scoffed."Then suit yourself, my laptop is over there" he pointed to the couch and Cars
Skyler: I'm not sure you saved my number earlier but it's Skyler over here. I just saw all what you bought for me and I wanted to say thank you. She sent the message but she didn't get a reply on time. She sighed and was about to put her phone away when it vibrated. Mason just replied. Mason: Don't mention. Even his texts sound as cold as him. Skyler rolled her eyes and began typing again. Skyler: When will you be back from work? His reply came shortly after. Mason: 8pm Skyler: oh! Truth was she didn't know who to talk with except for Mason but she couldn't stop him from doing his work so she decided to step out. There was light as usual so she went to the empty couch and switched on the TV. It was taken to a documentary TV where doctors were talking about how to treat patients' illnesses and she began watching. Jacob climbed down the stairs, he wanted to watch the TV but seeing Mason's wife made him turn back. "No no don't go, I'm not really into the channel, you can co
