"Bro it's not fair, I've always wanted one of those, but it got sold out yesterday!" Ivy pouted. Mason ignored her and looked at Skyler. His eyes darkened when he saw her putting on an apron. "Why are you on that? Come here" he called her over. Skyler dropped the plate of soup before she walked over to Mason and Ivy was still glaring at her. "What do you think you're doing in the kitchen? Take that thing off, it's Matilda's job!" he said and she rolled her eyes. "It's Matilda's job but I insisted on helping her" Skyler scoffed and he passed her the rose chocolate. "Bro!!" Ivy squeezed her face, and she gave Skyler another glare before matching upstairs- and going to her room. Skyler looked at the chocolates before looking at Mason. "This is my favorite type of chocolate, I don't remember telling you about this and you don't have to buy me things," she told him. Mason only gave her a blank stare. Truth was going to get it for Ivy on his way back but he remembered her saying she
Mason's car stopped in front of Edna's company then he looked at Skyler. "When you're ready to leave, call Alvin to drop you off and I think I should assign a personal bodyguard for you," he said, more like he was talking to himself."No need, I've been working without a bodyguard for twenty years now" she rolled her eyes."I still insist, the world is not as safe as you think," Mason replied.Skyler knew Mason won't listen to her so she just gave him a dry nod before stepping down from the car.She waved at him and he only nodded at her and watched her enter the company before he faced the front and Alvin drove off.The company was quite big, the space was wide enough for people; workers, and security to patrol.Skyler looked around and hung her backpack properly before she finally found the reception.She walked over to the woman in glasses, pressing her laptop with a serious look on her face."Good morning ma'am, is Miss Edna Delgado on the ground?" Skyler asked politely.The woma
Skyler just stepped out of Edna's office, she brought out her phone and began calling Alvin.After a ring, he picked."Hey Miss Skyler, What's up?" His voice sounded from the other end."I'm done in Edna's company, can you come pick me up?" Skyler replied as she came down from the elevator."Okay some minutes" Alvin replied before he hung up.Skyler stepped out of Jiggy and almost immediately a car stopped in front of her. Alvin's call came again.She switched her lips and placed it on her ears."Your ride is here" After that, he hung up.Skyler looked confused but she got over it and stared at the ash-colored car in front of her."So fast," she muttered before moving forward.The door of the car opened and a strong leg covered with black jeans stepped down followed by a stoic face and a hefty man putting on glasses.He looked at a picture before looking at Skyler's face."Are you Miss Skyler Delgado?" He asked, his voice sounded like he swallowed a loud mic."Yes," Skyler looked unsu
"In case you don't remember, I'm Jasper" he reminded her and her eyes widened.Jasper used to chase after her two years ago but she chose Felix instead."I heard what happened to you and Felix, I knew that guy wasn't really what he is! How could he cheat on you, he's dumb" he shook his head and Skyler only forced a smile."Anyways if you don't mind, we can try to hit up sometimes, you know I'll help you heal your heart" he tried moving closer to her but Trent came to stand in between them.He showed the Jasper guy a card that says at least, three feet apart.Jasper let out a confused chuckle as he looked up at Trent."Skyler, who is this guy?" He asked but Skyler ignored him, she took her clothes and began leaving.After a few steps, she turned back to stare at him."And Jasper, I don't need you to try to fix my heart," she said and raised her right hand to him, showing him the ring on her little finger.His eyes widened and she nodded."That's right Jasper, I'm married" She smiled at
"Oh dear don't choke, drink some water" Emily passed a glass of water to Skyler.Skyler collected it and gulped almost the whole cup while Mason just stared at her. "I'm sorry, the food is just really spicy" She cleared her throat and arranged her hair backwards.Mason suddenly exchanged her food with his own."If it's too spicy then you should try eating something not too spicy to avoid choking next time," he said gently.Skyler looked at him but he looked like he wasn't joking, she nodded and began eating his food."But why are you choking on the mention of a great-grandchild?" Grandpa Mario asked."Dad, they just got married and Skyler looks too young to have a baby so let's stop talking about this" Maya rolled her eyes.She wanted a grandchild too but not from Skyler."What's wrong with you Maya? Skyler should be twenty-four to five years old so what's wrong with her having a child? Do you want Grandpa to die first?" Rosa said with a smirk."It's between my son and Grandpa so you
NEXT MORNING; THE TIME INTERVIEW★"And we'll be having an important guest today… Regina Wilson!!" A woman sitting on a chair and crossing her legs said with a mic.Claps started as Regina found her way in. She was dressed in a mini red gown and black heels.She sat opposite the woman and crossed her legs together."Regina, how are you doing today?" She asked."I'm doing good," Regina smiled."So we would love to ask you some questions ready?" She asked and Regina nodded."So how do you feel about your boyfriend and Mario Delgado's granddaughter acting in a really strong romance movie together?" She shot her first question."It's fine, it's just work" Regina forced a smile."Are you sure? Remember when Blake said Ivy was pretty and he would love to date her? How did you feel about that?" The reporter asked."Well I felt a little hurt, he has been spending more time with her and Ivy looks sweet, I don't think she would wanna steal my boyfriend but if Blake abandons me for her one day th
Skyler was startled at first before a slow smile appeared on her face and she patted Ivy's back. Ivy pulled away from the hug and Skyler helped her to clean her eyes."What happened? Come sit down and talk" Skyler and Ivy sat on the stairs while Skyler looked at Ivy, waiting for her to start talking.Ivy brought out her phone and showed the hate comments to Skyler."You know I'm shooting a new movie with Blake Andrews and his girlfriend Regina Wilson didn't seem happy about it, you know she even warned me to stay away from him and I don't know why she went as far as to do this interview. Now the whole world thinks I'm a homewrecker" Ivy explained and sniffed back the tears that were trying to come out from her eyes again. "I know Regina Wilson, I was a fan of her because I thought she was pretty but not anymore" Skyler scoffed and returned Ivy's phone to her."You know, she's not kinda wrong because I do like Blake. I think it was love at first sight because I got attracted the momen
IN THE EVENING, Mason entered his room and met Skyler arranging her clothes and body products inside a small bag."Are you planning to run away?" He raised one of his brows and she stood akimbo before turning to face him."How can you even ask me that? What is today?" She looked at him.Mason's eyes went to the room calendar. It was Thursday and he would be taking Skyler to spend time alone with him tomorrow evening."Shît" a low curse escaped his lips."Instead of cursing, you can freshen up and come join me in packing your things" She rolled her eyes."Okay, let me talk to Ivy first," he muttered."Already did, I think she's fine but if you still want to see her then no problem, just remember to pack your clothes for tomorrow," she said before facing her bag again.Mason nodded and walked away from the room.•••••Ivy was lying on her bed and going through her phone. The backlash she was receiving hasn't slowed down yet, people kept leaving hateful words on her latest Instagram post

Bonus 2 D•S STYLES★"Do you think it would work?" Hudson looked at the bunch of flowers around him as he was talking to Miguel."It shouldn't be that hard, just walk up to her and say hey Cynthia, I like you. If she says no it's no, if she says yes then it's yes" Miguel shrugged his shoulders."Okay it should not be that bad, I'm the Grandson of old man Mario, I shouldn't have a problem asking her a simple girl out" he slapped himself before picking up his flowers.He went to the unit where Cynthia was working while Miguel followed from behind. When she saw him coming over, she rolled her eyes."What do you want?" She sighed."I'm not here to joke this time, I am here because I wanted to tell you that I like it when we spend time together and I want to push it forward. Cynthia, will you be my girlfriend?" He brought out the flowers behind his back and asked.Everyone present was already clapping while Cynthia looked a little flushed."What do you think you're doing Hudson?" She aske
Bonus 1 FEW MONTHS LATER★Mason was busy on his laptop when his phone began ringing."Dada" Maxwell who was sitting on the table picked up the phone and stretched to him and Mason couldn't help but smile at his son's kind gesture.His kids were observant about things around them which makes him so proud."Thank you champ" Mason smiled as he took the phone. It was Alvin so he picked up the call."Yes?" He raises one of his brows, still focusing on his laptop."Boss I wanted to let you know the house is ready," Alvin said from the other end and Mason nodded."If that's so then thank you" After saying that, he hung up.After his second wedding with Skyler, he has been secretly planning to build a house to start a new life with his family and the only person who knew about this was the old man who was in total support."Dada, mummy?" Maxwell looked up at Mason."She went out with Scarlett, they are at the salon" Mason replied to his son."Salon?" Maxwell repeated what he grabbed from his
( Final )THREE MONTHS LATER★Everything was moving on slowly by slowly. Everyone was finally getting comfortable with themselves, especially in accepting that there was a new Delgado among them.Edna was the one who had time the most especially when she had a sort of thing with Miguel.Ivy just arrived at the police station after so long. She went to see Maya and spilled to her how much she hates her, when she was on her way out, she decided to pay a visit to Blake."Ivy, I thought I'd never see you again!" Blake said the moment he got to the visitation room but all Ivy did was to look at him in disgust."You think I came for you Blake? You're so vain" she let out a chuckle."I get you hate me now but I'm sorry Ivy, I regret everything I did to you please can you forgive me" Blake pleaded. Ivy stared at him, he looked like he had suffered a lot, There were a lot of bruises on his face and she felt really happy."I came to see if you've suffered enough and I'm sad to see not. You des
The prank The members of the Delgado didn't wait for the doctor to state the obvious from the look on his face before they began mourning."Grandpa can't be dead yet, he's a fighter, he can't just leave us like that" Edna cried bitterly."We are sorry, we did our best to save him but his organs were failing, and like I had said earlier. It was a fifty out of fifty. I am pretty sure if he was younger then he would have survived" the doctor said sadly."Then can we go in?" Mason asked and the doctor nodded at him.Taking a deep breath, the Delgado family slowly walked in. The monitor wasn't beeping anymore and there was a body covered in a white cloth from head to toe and they could already tell that he was the old man.Some of them couldn't move anymore, they slumped on the floor and began to cry. It was Mason who courageously and slowly moved forward.He slowly brought his shaky hands to the white cloth and pulled it down gently. Presented before him was the lifeless face of the old
( His Last Words) "Jacob!!!" Mason yelled with a terrified look but it was too late, Grandpa Mario already blocked the way and took the bullet for him."Grandpa!!" Mason yelled and ran over to where his grandpa was, even Jacob had to stop running when he heard the gunshot."Grandpa" he also ran to meet the old man who was now in Mason's arms.The police already filed the place with their guns. They were pointing it at Blake and Dylan."You two are under arrest for kidnapping and also women trafficking. You have the right to remain silent for everything you say would be used against you in the cut of law" the leading officer said and Dylan was still gripping his gun tight.Looking down at the bleeding old man, he wished he could just die on the spot so the Delgados could have something to grieve with.He slowly dropped his gun and the police came to put both him and Blake in shackles and then led them to the police car. At the same time, an ambulance car also stopped
( Bastard of the Delgado ) "Grandpa you should sit down, they tied a bomb around Ivy" Mason muttered and the old man had no other choice than to sit down, Jacob also sat down."So you were a bit late dad, I just told Mason that I'm not his son but Blake" After Dylan said that Blake looked at the old man with a smug smirk."And are you surprised that I kept a secret? Are you surprised that I'm not the only one with a secret?" Dylan faced the old man with a smirk.Mason and Jacob looked confused, wondering what Dylan was talking about and why he was looking at the old man."That's right Dad, I saw the letter, I saw the letter she kept for you before she died. I know what you are hiding from everyone" Dylan added and the old man shut his eyes tight."What is he talking about Grandpa?" Mason slowly faced the old man."No now is not the time to talk about that, why did we start talking about who Mason is," Dylan said before facing Maya."Come on dear, tell them how you barged into
( Explode )DELGADOS' MANSION ★"I'm really scared for Mason, I think I should have just followed him when he said he wanted to go" Skyler couldn't stop pacing around.She had to feed her twins to make sure they were having their afternoon nap."And I'm still not over the fact that Blake has been the one doing all these. He came for dinner once and looks nothing but sweet so I don't get it, what if my new boyfriend is a traitor" Edna began wondering."And you see this is why I'm still single, I hate having my heart broken" Hudson pouted.Jacob didn't say anything, he was just leaning by the wall as he listened to them talk. His face only moved when Grandpa Mario climbed down the stairs."I already tracked Mason" he announced."I'll go with you" Jacob left the wall and walked towards him."And I'll stay with the ladies probably because I'm not scared at all" Hudson let out a nervous smile.Grandpa Mario didn't have his time. He opened the suitcase he was holding and gave a gun to Jacob
( You're so vain ) Ivy blinked repeatedly, she slowly turned back to look at Patrick, and to get surprise, he was also pointing a gun at her face."What is going on here?" She asked with a confused look, was this part of the surprise or what?Suddenly some footsteps were heard. It was like a person putting on heels. Finally, a female figure stood next to Blake, revealing the face of Regina with her gun pointed at Ivy too."Surprise," she said with a smile filled with mockery.Ivy still didn't understand what was happening. Why was her boyfriend pointing a gun at her, why was his ex also where she noticed a male figure sitting on the swivel chair backing her?"Are you a fool or what? What kind of you're being used don't you understand?" Regina rolled her eyes."I don't understand, Blake explain what is happening?" Ivy gave Blake a look, her eyes were already teary."You've been used Ivy, you're so vain thinking I would leave a girl as hurt as Regina just to date you?
