MARRIED TO THE HIDDEN BILLIONAIRE

Edna thought she would fall any seconds from now but a strong arm suddenly caught her that instant.

She still closed her eyes feeling shocked but decided to open them, her eyes were blurry at first but in a few seconds, they began getting clear.

Miguel blinked repeatedly as he stared at her, wasn’t this the woman that insulted him that day about being poor?

Edna also recognized him, her eyes widened and she immediately lifted herself by using his shoulders and when she was done, she pushed him back.

“Who do you think you are to touch me!” She spotted him.

“Are you so ungrateful or are you always putting on an act? Where is the thank you, I was expecting?” He crossed his arms around his chest as he asked.

“Why do you care, not like you’re the owner of this place?” Miguel scoffed and Edna only just smirked at him.

“Hey what’s with that expression don’t tell me you’re..” he suddenly paused and stared at her closely.

Among all the workers, she was the only one dressed in an expensive suit jacket, skirt, and heels.

“Don’t tell me you’re..” he trailed off again and Edna could only just smirked at him.

“Eddy, the bikinis have arrived” Zita walked up to them, his eyes went to Miguel and he smiled.

“You’re even here! That’s great, well this is the Edna I’m telling you about, Eddy this is Miguel, your new personal photographer and trust me, he’s good at editing” Zita introduced them.

Miguel couldn’t believe his eyes, it felt like the ground should just swallow him. This means the woman was his boss and he disrespected her earlier.

He sighed to himself then turned around and began leaving.

“Where do you think you’re going to?” Edna stopped him.

“Home” he turned back and replied.

“And you gave you the permission to do that?” She asked again.

“Weren’t you gonna fire me?” He raised one of his brows.

Edna only snorted at him.

“I’m not even in the mood anyways, follow me, and let’s start work” She rolled her eyes and began leaving.

Miguel was still looking in surprise, he didn’t know if he should move or not.

“Hey, what are you waiting for? Go after her!” Zita used his eyes to message Miguel and Miguel immediately ran after Edna.

LIGHTHOUSE HIGH★

James was leaning against a car and waiting with his hands in his pocket. His phone blinked and he got a message from Carson.

‘I’m coming with my grandpa’

Then almost immediately, a Lamborghini stopped and two men in suits came down and rushed to open the back door.

As usual, the first thing to step down was the stick of the old man before his well-polished shoe followed then his full body.

“Look is Mr Mario Delgado” a student announced and most of them rushed towards the car, they couldn’t go near him because of that security but they were taking pictures and videos of him.

Carson came down with a nervous look on his face as he stood beside his grandpa.

“Where is he?” The old man asked.

Carson’s eyes sighted James leaning against a car and they began moving towards him.

James had a confused look on his face as he stared at the old man, it looked like he was frowning and Carson looked nervous.

‘Did Carson finally man up and tell his grandpa about them?’ he couldn’t help but think to himself.

They finally got to him and the old man looked at his glasses.

“James?” He called and James raised one of his brows.

“My grandson told me about you and what you have been doing to him”

James stared at Carson then stared at the old man again.

“Mr. Mario I.

“Do you know ever since my grandson started school he had never passed a math test or exam but you changed that, you’ve been a really good tutor to him and I came to say a personal thank you” Grandpa Mario stretched his hands towards Miguel for a handshake.

Disappointed, that was what James felt. Although he was nervous at first, he was hoping Carson finally tell his grandpa about them.

“Is that all he told you, I’m just his tutor?” James asked without accepting the handshake.

Carson’s heart skipped a beat.

“James,” he muttered.

“Why that question? Is there more I need to know?” Grandpa Mario narrowed his eyes.

“Nothing” James forced a smile and accepted the old man’s hands.

“You didn’t have to give me a personal thank you but you’re welcome” he replied.

Grandpa Mario finally left and James turned around and began leaving. Carson went after him.

“James hold on” he called and James stopped walking but he backed him.

“James, I’m sorry,” Carson muttered.

“You’re never going to tell him about us are you?” James asked slowly.

“James..”

“Are you!?” James asked hard this time as he turned to face him.

“You just need time, we’ve been dating for more than three months and all we do is hide like we are doing some forbidden shit. Gays are normal Carson, they are in this school, they are everywhere they are open and happy but you, us?” James shook his head.

“You’re even ashamed to show me off to the school and your friends and I’m pretty sure if I was a girl then you would have told your family the second day of dating her” James added.

“Stop talking like this James, I didn’t know I’d turn out to be gay, it’s not easy for me!” Carson snapped.

“And it’s not easy for me either, I can’t keep staying with someone ashamed to show me off, look at us Carson, we only display our affection in the male restroom and I’m the only one trying to push us forward, you aren’t even doing anything!!” James snapped and everything turned silent.

Carson only stared at him without knowing what to say and James turned to look at his side.

“Let’s break up Carson, you’d be happier without me” he muttered.

Carson’s eyes widened.

“It hasn’t gotten to this level James, we will fix it” Carson’s eyes went a bit misty.

“I’m not the problem Carson, It’s you, the chain is from your side and I’m exhausted because you aren’t making any effort to lose it so let’s break up” James repeated.

“James’ ‘ a teardrop fell from Carson’s eyes.

“If you don’t need a break Carson, I do, I just need time to process all these. I hope you wouldn’t treat the next guy you date the way you treated me or it might even be a girl, anyways I’m wishing you all the best” he said and turned around to leave.

“James, please” Carson held his hands but James slowly took Carson’s hands away from him before leaving.

Carson didn’t know what to feel this instant, he couldn’t cry in public but he couldn’t help it.

He gripped his hair tight and rested against the wall, closing his eyes painfully.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
