James then asked.Carson licked his lips and smiled."Cool, better than the girls I've kissed but I'm still scared to tell my grandpa" he sighed and threw his head backward."Listen, just tell him okay, remember that I'm also like you and I'm happy, do what makes you happy, don't try to please what others think about you okay?"

Wendy showed Skyler her puppy eyes."I'm serious Wendy, he doesn't take pictures," Skyler said with a smile."Why? Is it that hidden billionaire or something" Wendy scoffed but Skyler's heart skipped a little beat.Ashely was already glaring at Wendy from her phone screen."Why are you so interested in his pictures anyway?

Places like man, job, and everything. I want to make sure he is more hands

43. ( Don't act rash)Jacob had a disappointed look on his face as he drove back home. He was coming from the hospital with the same problem he usually has, he failed his test as a doctor due to fear."I don't know why I'm such a loser" he sighed and shook his head and continued driving but he suddenly hit someone without knowing.He didn't understand how it happened because it happened so fast. The hit seemed hard because the person's body flew above his car and landed somewhere behind him.Jacob stopped driving with his eyes widened. He didn't just hit someone right now, did he?He opened the door and came down then rushed behind his car to see who he hit. It was a woman, blood was already coming out from her head and he put his hands on his head, feeling shocked.How could he do this?✬✬✬✬✬✬✬AGNES'S PLACE★"Baby!!"

Hailey sighed on the last dress she was putting on. If she had known she was going to meet Mason then she would have brought more sexy clothes."Hey baby girl" Agnes stepped while holding a box."Mom not now, we should be on our way to Mason's place any time soon but I don't even have the perfect dress to wear" Hailey complained."That's why I'm here, look what I got for you" Agnes passed the box to her.Hailey sighed and collected it, she opened it to peep at what was inside and a gasp escaped from her lips."Where did you get it from, it's so gorgeous" She took out the red short dress and placed it on her body."It was a gift from Maya, she got it from D•S for you, try it," Agnes said and Hailey immediately took off the dress on her body and tried the dress her mom got her.It was a bit short, exposing a little of her flat stomach and cleavage."Mason wouldn't be able to take his eyes off you" Agnes smiled at her."You think so?" Hailey asked, looking nervous.Agnes sighed and went
45. I love you Hailey's smile turned to a frown the moment Mason made that statement. Agnes immediately added her mouth."Hailey, your friend in elementary school, the both of you built a playhouse together, here's a picture of you two when you first played on it" Agnes opened a picture and passed it to him.Mason stretched his hands and Agnes thought he wanted to take it but he took a spoon and dished some soup for himself, startling both Agnes and Hailey."Aunt Agnes, you said elementary school so I don't remember. I don't have a long memory capacity" he spoke without sparing Hailey any glance."Too bad you don't remember her, you two were so close that you almost joked about marrying her," Maya muttered.Skyler frowned to herself, she wasn't feeling the appetite to eat anymore. What was Maya trying to do with all these?"Mom, stop saying all these in front of Skyler. Mason is married and he doesn't remember Hailey anymore" Ivy rolled her eyes.Hailey frowned at Ivy behind her bac
Mason opened his eyes to stare at her face. He was a little stunned and didn't know what to say but somehow he was very comfortable with it.He hugged her more to himself before closing his eyes and sleeping off too. ✬✬✬✬✬✬✬HOSPITAL★Jacob was walking back and forth, thinking about what happened earlier. There were lots of miss calls from his mother, grandpa and some of his cousins but he didn't have the strength to talk to anyone.The doctor came out of the ward and he gave the doctor an immediate look."Talk to me doc, what is happening? How is the lady, I hope she isn't dead" He pleaded, he really didn't want to have the nightmare of killing someone."She is not dead but she lost a lot of blood, luckily there's blood in the bank that matches with hers so her surgery will start tomorrow" the doctor said and Jacob breathed out in a sigh of relief."Thank goodness, please I will pay any amount just to help her get better, please" he pleaded."I can't promise you Mr Delgado but I wil

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?"

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?"

( 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?
