52 . Next time won’t be a prank
This better be a prank to make her angry because it was working. She brought out her phone and tried calling his number but it wasn’t going because she was blocked.
She was really boiling as she checked the news again. People were already bringing her name into it, saying Regina was always a step ahead of her and they even had some fake videos about her reacting to Regina dating her best friend.
“Regina you’re such a bitch!!” She screamed out.

HOSPITAL★
Skyler blinked her eyes slowly as she woke up. She saw a strong hand hugging her stomach and she turned her side to see Mason asleep.
She smiled a little and brought her hands to his hair but he got alert at the single moment and immediately opened his eyes.
His eyes softened up when he saw Skyler awake, he sat straight and leaned closer to kiss her lips a little.
“Good morning, beautiful,” he said with a small smile.
“Morning” Skyler’s voice was tiny and she wasn’t smiling anymore, her lips were dry and her eyes seemed low.
“How are you feeling? You seem like you need water let me get it for you” he stood up from his chair and began leaving the ward but Skyler stopped him on time with her sudden question.
“Why was I bleeding yesterday?” She asked with a little tears forming from her eyes.
Mason didn’t know how to reply, he hadn’t even thought of the lie yet. He blinked repeatedly and cleared his throat before turning to face her.
“I.. the doctor said it was.. it was because..”
“I had a miscarriage?” Skyler guessed painfully as she stopped tears from coming out of her eyes.
Mason sighed and moved towards her.
“I’m so sorry,” he said softly.
Skyler bit her lips to control her tears.
“I was careless, you don’t have to apologise” she shook her head.
Mason sat on the bed with her and hugged her tight.
“I didn’t know I was pregnant” Skyler cried even more and her eyes turned angry as she remembered Hailey, the woman responsible for her baby’s death.
After a while Skyler stopped crying but was still resting in Mason’s arm.
“So what happened in the rest room?” Mason asked what had been dying to leave his lips.
Skyler was quiet for a while because she was thinking. She felt like she can’t just mention Hailey’s name because Mason would angrily confront her and it might spread round to Grandpa.
“I. I fell and hit my stomach on the..
“Don’t tell me that Skyler! Someone did this to you because when I got to the restroom, you were locked in and a normal person wouldn’t enter a public restroom and just lock the door!” Mason pulled away from the hug and faced her.
He just blew her cover, telling her that there was no need to lie.
“Just tell me who did it?” He looked at her with pleading eyes.
“It was Hailey but I don’t want you to act rash because she can easily deny it and turn the tables around and if the news spread out, I might be accused of trying to destroy her career” Skyler exposed her fears to him.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Mason was really boiling inwardly but he was trying not to act because of Skyler.
“I want to act rash, I promise” Mason forced a smile at her. His voice was shaking to show how angry he was but was trying his best not to explode.
“Mason” Skyler bit her lips even more and wiped the tears that left her eyes but Mason leaned closer to her and pecked her forehead.
“Don’t cry beautiful, it’s not your fault it’s mine, I wasn’t too careful” he cupped her cheeks.
“It’s not your fault either, you’re trying your best” she muttered and Mason shook his head.
“If this was my best and all these still happened to you, then it’s not enough!”
From his tone, Skyler could tell that he was blaming himself and she tried telling him that she was okay but he wouldn’t listen.
“You shouldn’t stress or think too much about the past, I will get you some water to drink” Mason kissed her forehead again before leaving the ward.
Skyler shot her eyes tight and threw her head backwards.

“You called me boss?” Trent walked up to Mason who was out of Skyler’s ward already.
“I need you to get the footage of the ladies bathroom, I don’t know how you want to do it but help me with it” he said.
“I’m afraid that would be hard, I don’t think security cameras can be inside a ladies room especially when it is in a high class party like that” Trent thought and replied.
“Just do anything Trent, I need to see who locked my wife in” Mason rolled his eyes tiredly and Trent nodded.
“I get it boss, I will get going then” he gave a short bow before leaving.
Mason didn’t mind that Trent see what he looks like because Trent was someone his Grandpa personally trained in a bodyguard school.
Mason checked his phone only to see lots of miss calls from Ivy, Maya, grandpa and some other of his family members and he sighed.
He decided to call Grandpa and inform him that Skyler was fine.

DELGADOS’ MANSION★
‘Where are you?’
Ivy looked at that text in her phone that was from Blake.
‘Home, grandpa said not to leave the house, I’m avoiding the paparazzi because of yesterday’ she texted back and he began typing.
‘Is your brother’s wife okay? Saw her bleeding yesterday and it suck’
Actually yesterday was the first time Blake saw Mason’s real face because he was too focused on his wife. Even though Mason’s face wasn’t exposed to his view, he could tell that the man was really good looking.
‘I don’t know yet, we haven’t heard anything’
The moment she typed, grandpa Mario began climbing down the stairs while talking about Mason and Skyler.
“I just got a call from Mason, he said Skyler is awake and she’s fine” the old man supported himself with the stick to climb down the stairs.
“Which hospital are they in? Can we go see them?” Ivy dropped her phone on the couch and immediately stood up.
“Yes we are going to visit her, Emily” after replying to Ivy’s question, he began moving to the kitchen where Emily and Matilda were.
“Yes dad” Emily came out to reply him.
“You were making some soup for Skyler earlier, are you done?” He asked.
“Yes I’m done that, I’ve even packed it inside a flask for her” Emily replied as she went back to take the flask.
When she showed the old man, he snatched it from her.
“I will just go give this to Skyler. I’m sure she must be really hungry. If you want to meet us then we are at Louis hospital” grandpa Mario replied and without waiting for her reaction, he hurriedly left.
Emily stood feeling stupefied.
Did that old man just walk inside the kitchen and take the food she has been spending hours preparing for Skyler then claim it as his?
She shook her head and sighed.
“Yes, thank you for the update” Jacob nodded with the person he was talking to on his phone.
When he hung up, he bumped into Rosa.
“Jacob, you were missing for two days, where did you go?” She asked worriedly.
“It’s none of your business mom, a useless son means nothing to his mother and he shouldn’t be telling her things, she shouldn’t be talking to him because everything he does doesn’t satisfy her” he replied coldly and stormed out of her sight.
Rosa just watched him leave with a sad expression on her face.

Laughter was heard from a man with a deep voice as Venom explained what happened earlier to him.
“You couldn’t just wait to see his reaction after he realized the bomb was fake?” The man sitting beside him asked.
“No dad but next time it wouldn’t be a prank, it would be real” Venom replied with hatred glittering in his eyes.
