Chapter 50. You’ve been fooled
“What do you think you’re doing?” Skyler glared at Hailey when she suddenly locked the door and threw the key on the basin.
“Let me get straight to the point, I don’t like you!” Hailey said darkly.
“Shocking news, I didn’t know that!” Skyler faked a gasp as she crossed her arms under her breast.
“And I also don’t know that you have secret eyes for my husband,” Skyler added with one of her eyebrows raised up.
Hailey smirked and moved closer to her. She stopped right in front of her and the two women were almost the same height except Hailey was taller.
“You’re just a cheap nobody that only wants his money, just look at you, even if you go out like this in public, no one would know you for who you are!” Hailey said with so much exasperation.
Skyler smirked and also raised her head to reach her level.
“But at least he got married to this cheap nobody and couldn’t even remember his so-called childhood friend, the one he promised to ”’ ‘ Skyler raised one of her brows up knowing she has gotten to Hailey.
“You will regret this” Hailey muttered and out of the blue, she used her heavy purse to hit Skyler on the stomach.
Skyler groaned a bit and Hailey took the restroom key then rushed out and locked the door from outside.
Skyler held her stomach tight, why did it hurt so much? What did Hailey put inside her purse?

MAIN HALL★
Mason had a phone on his ears as he tried calling Skyler but she wasn’t picking. He turned to his side to see Skyler’s bag on her chair and his eyes widened a little.
She left without her phone?
Boss, you called for me” Alvin walked up to him.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“Alvin” Mason looked at him and although he was still putting on a nose mask, Alvin could see the look of worry in his eyes.
“What’s wrong boss?” Alvin asked.
“Have you seen Skyler, this place isn’t safe, we have to get everyone to leave this party somehow” he said in a hurry and it got Alvin even more scared.
This was the first time he was seeing Mason look this worried.
“What is happening boss?” Alvin asked for the second time.
Mason passed the letter to Alvin and Alvin went through it. His eyes also widened as he immediately interpreted the letter.
“Where is the bomb?” He asked with widened eyes.
“I don’t know,” Mason replied.

Director James and some of the movie’s cast and crew were standing in front of a three layer cake for the party. They were ready to cut and take pictures but Ivy and Blake were nowhere to be found.
Hailey stepped out of the restroom with a smile on her face, she went to stand beside Agnes.
“I just locked Skyler in the restroom, have you seen Mason?” She whispered to her mom as she took a glass of wine.
“You locked Skyler so you could spend time with her husband? You really are my daughter” Agnes smiled and the both clicked glasses together and shared a devious mother and daughter laughter.

“There you two are, the director has been looking for you guys, they want to cut the cake” one of the crew members who sighted Blake and Ivy coming out from a balcony with all smiles.
“We are so sorry, we are coming right now” Ivy apologized before rushing over to the main hall with Blake.
“Where did the two of you go?” Director James whispered.
“Forgive me director, I took Ivy somewhere” Blake gave a silent apology and the both of them faced the camera.
Some pictures of them were taken before Ivy and Blake started cutting the cake. It got to a place where they felt the knife touched something.
“What’s that?” Ivy narrowed her eyes and looked in. Her eyes almost popped out of its socket with what she saw.
“There’s a bomb!!!” She yelled and suddenly people began screaming and running.
The bomb had just a minute left before it activated and everyone was already running for their lives.
“Get into the car all of you” grandpa Mario said to his grandchildren and family members as they came out but Mason and Skyler weren’t outside.
“Where’s Mason and Skyler!!” Hudson asked.

“Skyler!!” Mason already took off his nose mask as he ran through the restroom, opening doors to look for her.
“Skyler! Where did you go? “He was sure that he had almost opened all the doors but the next one he tried to open refused to open.
“Skyler!!” He yelled again and knocked yjt door loudly before putting his ears to check if he could hear anything.
He could hear the soft sound of a female sobbing and she sounded like Skyler.
“Skyler!!” He knocked on the door but no one was answering him and the key wasn’t even there.
He began kicking the door really hard. He went to another restroom door and took that key then tried to open it and it surprisingly worked.
“Sky…” He couldn’t complete it when he saw her laying on the floor with blood bleeding from her legs.
She looked up at him, already pale and weak.
“I’m scared” she cried with that little strength she had.
Mason moved closer to her and lifted her up in a bridal style then began rushing out as fast as he could but when he got to the main hall, the cake bomb had ten seconds left and the door was far away from them.
There was no longer hope.
Mason stopped running and put Skyler down then knelt beside her and cupped her cheeks.
“We are going to die here” Skyler managed to speak with lots of pain in her eyes.
“I’m not happy that I’m dying now but I’m happy it’s beside you. I’m so sorry Skyler, I couldn’t keep a close eye and this happened. I will regret it if I die without saying I love you too” he said with his eyes a bit misty.
He leaned closer to her and captured her lips. Tears came out of Skyler’s eyes, how can she die this early without accomplishing her dream and just when she found love after another heartbreak, death was shortening it.
She shut her eyes tight and more tears came out.
