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
STARBUCKS STUDIO★Ivy's makeup artist was helping her with makeup in her van when someone knocked on the door."Daisy check who," Ivy said to Daisy who was sitting in one place and pressing her phone."Okay," Daisy stood up and went to open the van.She saw Blake checking his wristwatch. When he saw her, he let out a soft smile."Is Ivy in, can I come in to see her?" He asked."Give me a second" Daisy smiled and went back in then walked over to Ivy."Who was that?" Ivy asked."Blake" she replied and Ivy's heart skipped a beat on hearing his name."What is he doing here?" Her voice sounded tiny when she asked."I don't know, he wants to see you I guess. Should I let him in or do you want to go see him outside?" Daisy asked."Let him in," Ivy muttered and looked at her face in the mirror. The makeup was quite okay so there was nothing wrong with her face now.Blake stepped in, he didn't know if he should smile or just nod at her but he just pressed his lips together."How are you feelin
"Eww, he stinks!"Why is he looking dirty?"Is that a banana peel on his hair?'Looks like he just came out of the trash bin!Carson scoffed at the comment he was receiving from the students. He took the banana peel from his hair and threw it to one side."Hey Carson, are you okay?" Simon asked the moment Carson got to his locker room."Do I look okay to you?" Carson frowned and removed his backpack from his shoulders.Fred was just blocking his nose with his fingers."Bro for real, what happened to you?" Fred gave him a kind of stinky look as he asked."I wanted to prove to someone that I can drive my car but I fell inside a trash bin and now my car is under service" Carson replied as he took out a clean pair of uniforms before excusing himself to the male restroom.He dropped his uniform on one side and looked at himself in the mirror. He looked dirty, his hairstyle looked messy and awful, and even the piercing didn't fit him."Gosh, I'm a mess, fûck that Ryan guy!" He mumbled angri
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 was
"Hey!" Mason stood up and stretched his arms."Give it!""Make me" she smirked, Mason tried collecting the system from her but she raised her hands up."Who says you can't afford to play? If you want your laptop then come and get it" she wiggled her brows at him then she began to run with it.Mason didn't chase after her, he only crossed his arms around his chest with a deep frown."Give it!" He said again."Come and get it" she smiled at him and he rubbed on his temples tiredly."Don't make me do this" he sounded like he was warning her which made Skyler interested in seeing more sides of him. "Come on, don't you wanna work? Come on" she showed him the system.Mason moved towards her but she ran from the other side and stuck her tongue out at him. He moved to her side but she took the other side instead."You wanna play, fine" he nodded then suddenly began running around the whole room with her.When Skyler climbed the chairs, he did too, they ran through the dining and kitchen befo
Mason kept biting on Skyler's earlobe which made her hands tremble and her body quiver. She accidentally dropped the bottle of mustard she was holding on the floor."Hey, what are you doing? I thought… I thought you were having an online conference?" She stuttered her words, being surprised at his sudden behavior.Mason stopped biting her earlobe and he rested his chin on her shoulders."Where do you want us to go out today?" He asked."Uhm.. I don't know, I still have to work on Edna's dress and we can take a walk after then go for dinner or something" she suggested with an unsure look.Mason stayed quiet for a while before nodding."Fine by me, I'll leave you to do your thing" he left a short kiss on her neck before adjusting his nose mask properly on his face and stepping away from her.After his presence was out of the kitchen, Skyler slapped her cheeks a little for the sudden redness before bending to pick the mustered."Get control of yourself, we just had a night together, it's
Skyler just finished working on some parts of Edna's dress before covering her book and stretching her hands.The telephone began ringing, she looked at Mason and he was still walking, she sighed and went to pick up the phone."Hello?""Mason" Maya's voice sounded."Mason your mom" Skyler faced him with the phone."I'm busy, let her tell you all she has to say to you then you'll tell me later" Mason continued pressing his laptop."Don't worry, Skyler it's you I want to talk with, please forgive me, I'm sorry for calling you jinxed and when you're back, please plead with my dad on my behalf" Maya said in a hurry, without waiting for her Skyler to agree or disagree, she hung up.Skyler just shook her head and put the phone back on the stand."What did she say?" Mason closed his laptop and stood up."That she's sorry for calling me jinxed and I should plead with Grandpa on her behalf" Skyler replied and Mason scoffed."That's not how an apology is done, I'm not accepting it" he shook his
Felix looked shocked to bump into Skyler and even more shocked when he saw her hugging another man's arm while he was doing the same with Felicia.Mason looked at Skyler when he saw she was looking at them but with the look in her eyes, he could guess who she was looking at."Let's just go in" Skyler whispered to him and tried moving in but Felix suddenly blocked their part."Felix!" Felicia whispered and shook her head trying to tell him not to cause a scene but Felix ignored her.He stared at Mason from head to toe before looking at Skyler."Who's this guy?" He asked with an angry look.Skyler wanted to punch him, the audacity he had to ask her such questions. She gave him two years of her life and he cheated on her, no remorse to even try to win her back but he was still having dinner dates with the person he cheated on her with.A thought suddenly came to her head and she smirked."You want to know who? He's my husband" she replied and hugged Mason's arms tighter.Mason didn't say

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?
