Who Said You Can’t Afford To Play?
Regina turned angry the moment Blake called her Ivy’s name.
“How many days or weeks of shooting did you spend with that girl before you forgot my name!” She said angrily.
Blake’s eyes cleared immediately and he saw Regina’s face, he scoffed and looked at the window again.
“You didn’t answer me!” Regina angrily stumps her feet on the ground.
“What do you want from me?” He turned from the mirror to face her.
“You called me Ivy earlier, are you in love with her?” She asked while clenching her fist tight.
Blake only stared at her without replying.
“Answer me!” She shouted at him.
“Yes!” He shouted back and Regina fell speechless.
“W-what?” She slowly asked.
Blake’s eyes softened up a bit and he stood up.
“I’m sorry Regina, I don’t know how it happened” he muttered.
Regina shook her head and tears fell from her eyes. Before he could blink, a sounding slap landed on his face and before he could react, she snatched the glass of whiskey from him and splashed it on his face.
“I knew it, it wasn’t only about the movie! How could you? After everything I’ve done for you, you’re such a traitor!!” She yelled at his face while crying.
“Excuse me, what did you do for me? We were both successful before we started seeing each other and I loved the time we were together but not anymore” he lowered his voice when he said that last part.
“You’re so heartless!!” She shouted and tried hitting him but he caught her hands.
“Don’t act like you didn’t dump your ex so you could be with me too so can we not make this weird, I’m not in love with you anymore, I’m telling you now so I don’t cheat on you in the future. Try to understand and never forgive me” he said and released her hands.
“Were you ever in love with me Blake? You know what, fuck you asshòle, you will need me back in the future when you realize there is no one else as pretty and better than me” she smirked and picked her coat from the floor before storming out of the room.
Blake just sighed and fell back on his couch.

REDLOCK HOTEL★
Mason didn’t need to wear a nose mask as he came down from the car. This was the type of people’s life he loved, where reporters wouldn’t be there to point their annoying light on his face.
He helped Skyler with the door and she came down before he went to the boot to carry their bags.
“Can you stop doing everything? I have hands” Skyler looked frustrated as she followed him from behind.
He didn’t even reply to her until they got to the receptionist.
“Hi, my wife, Skyler Wang, booked a room for the weekends,” he said and Skyler narrowed her eyes as she stared at him.
When the hell did she book a room?
The receptionist did some things on her laptop for a few seconds before looking at them with a smile.
“Skyler Wang found it,” she said and did some things before bringing out a key.
“Here’s your key, enjoy your weekend Mr and Mrs” She handed it to Skyler since Mason was holding two bags.
“Thanks” Skyler smiled at the woman before leaving with Mason.
••••
The room was nice, the space was okay, and there was a bed, a sofa, a study chair and table, a bathroom, and a full kitchen.
“How’s the room?” Mason stared at her when he asked.
“I love it, especially the bed,” Skyler replied happily. She was about to run to the bed but he grabbed her back by the forearm.
“You can’t just sleep, you have to shower and eat or aren’t you hungry?” He raised one of his brows.
“I’m hungry” Skyler pouted and rubbed her stomach.
“Okay, what do you want to eat? Let me make the orders” Mason began walking towards the nightstand to take the telephone.
“It has been long since I’ve eaten pork chops” Skyler was mumbling to herself but Mason heard it.
“Hi, yes we will be having some pork chops, room 35, thanks!” He hung up and turned back only to see Skyler looking at him.
“What?” He raised a brow.
“I didn’t even say I wanted it yet” she replied and he sighed before grabbing the telephone again.
“Hi, cancel the orders!”
“No need to cancel it, I was gonna eat it!” Skyler said immediately.
“Hi, don’t cancel it anymore” After saying that, Mason dropped the telephone back on the nightstand.
Skyler shook her head before going to take out her clothes from the bag.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
“I’m going to hit the shower first,” she told him and he nodded then she headed to the bathroom.

DELGADOS’ MANSION★
“That brat! How can he leave without informing me first!” Grandpa Mario angrily stabbed his fork on his plate.
They were having dinner.
“Hey Dad, what is the name of Mason and Skyler’s hotel?” Rosa asked.
“Redlock, heard it’s really good, the space is okay so I think Mason and Skyler would enjoy their weekends together” Edna replied to Rosa’s question with a smile.
While they were all talking, Carson wasn’t eating, he was just using his fork to play with his food which Emily noticed.
“Carson dear, what’s wrong? You’re not eating your food, are you okay?” She gave him a worried look.
“I’m fine Mom” Carson looked at her with a smile.
“Anyone else noticed how the table is peaceful because of Maya’s absence?” Rosa said with a smile.
Speaking of Maya, the door just opened and she stepped in looking rough and tired.
“Dad!!” She rushed over to the dining room.
“Dad please forgive me, I can’t do this anymore. I didn’t have breakfast this morning and I had to trek to work. A lot of people were looking at me, even the reporters and I’m sure they will be making headlines about me tomorrow” Maya gave the old man a pleading look.
“But you know what to do Maya, just apologize to me and Skyler” Rosa said with a smirk.
Maya did as if she didn’t hear and continued staring at old man Mario.
“Mom, look at you, you look like a mess! Why can’t you just apologize to Skyler and Aunt Rosa and end all this!” Ivy rolled her eyes, feeling tired of her mom’s stupid pride.
Maya turned to glare at Ivy.
“I’m your mother, I’m from this family and you want me to just beg a girl from nowhere?” She widened her eyes in anger as she spoke.
“You know you aren’t from this family, you just happened to marry Dylan, if he divorces you, you’ll no longer be a Delgado so the only person that has the right to claim this name is me,” Rosa said with a smirk.
“I can’t deal with this right now” Carson shook his head and stood up before leaving the dining.
“Maya you’ve done enough, apologize to the people you offended or you can just leave our dining” Old man Mario kept a frown on his face when he said that.
Maya glared at everyone at the table, her husband and daughter were doing nothing to help her, and she was even more mad.
“If I apologize for what I didn’t do wrong then meet me in hell!” She gritted her teeth and stormed upstairs.
“She’s stubborn,” Hudson shook his head.

REDLOCK HOSTEL★
Skyler was dressed in a t-shirt and pajama type of trousers while Mason was also dressed in a t-shirt and joggers.
While Skyler was making some videos of herself, Mason was busy on his laptop.
The doorbell rang and Skyler immediately jumped from the bed to get the door. A female hotel attendant was holding a cart containing their food.
“I’m sorry for the delay, we were out of porks so we had to go get it” She gave Skyler an apologetic look.
“It’s fine, thank you” Skyler took the food away from the cart.
“Please enjoy it while it’s hot, I hope you enjoy your weekend at red lock” The attendance smiled and left then Skyler closed the door.
When the hotel attendant got out of the room, she secretly brought out a phone and dialed a number.
“Hello ma’am, it’s done,” she muttered.
“Good” the view of red-painted lips, replied with a smirk.
•••
Back to the room, Skyler just arranged the food on the table before looking at Mason. He was busy on his laptop, she sighed and stood akimbo.
“I thought you brought me here so we could spend some time together?” She asked out.
“If you’re hungry, you can just eat alone” Mason didn’t spare her a glance as he kept pressing his laptop.
“It’s not fair, can’t we just forget about everything for once and let’s have fun, all work no play makes jack a dull boy” she tried convincing him.
“I can’t afford to play, I have a lot of things to take care of in the company and I can’t do them while staying here and doing nothing” he rolled his eyes and kept typing.
Skyler nodded and moved towards him, she snatched his laptop within a blink of an eye.
