“Has she eaten?” Skyler asked Rosa when Scarlett’s cries had died down a little.
“Yes I just finished giving her the second bottle, Maxwell is with his great-grandfather in his study” Rosa replied.
“Thank you very much aunt, I’ll just go check up on them,” Skyler said and Rosa gave her a nod before going away.
When Skyler got to the old man’s study, she met Maxwell lying on the table and holding one of the papers Grandpa Mario was using for his calligraphy.
“Sky” Grandpa Mario dropped his paintbrush as he looked up at Skyler. His face brightened up to see her back early.
“You left the office so early, hope all is well over there?” He asked.
“I was permitted to leave and work from home for the sake of the babies” She smiled and immediately rushed over to Maxwell who was putting the paper in his mouth.
“No baby, that’s bad, you shouldn’t eat grandpa’s calligraphy,” she said to him in a cute voice but instead of paying her any attention, he began to suck on his fingers.
“Isn’t he so cute?” Grandpa Mario stared at him with a smile.
“Hmm” Skyler nodded, she didn’t want to drop Scarlett down because she was already dozing off to sleep but she felt like carrying Maxwell who looked energetic.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Turns out twins were not easy to deal with.
“You should drop Scarlett off to sleep and come back for your son or I will send Carson to bring him to you. That boy has been home since he is moving out next month” the old man said.
Skyler nodded, she thought of her mom and friends before she asked.
“I haven’t seen Mom, did she step out?” She asked.
“Yes she did with your friends, they still have to go to work” he replied.
Skyler didn’t argue, she only nodded her head before stepping out of the old man’s study.
Soon Carson came to carry Maxwell, he was finally happy that the old man finally released the boy.

BRITT MODELS★
It was already 5 pm when Hailey stepped out of her company, she cat walked straight to her car and was surprised to see it scratched.
There was writing that said; you’re nothing but a lair, leave Mason alone!
Ever since Mason opened Instagram and used the side view of Skyler’s face as his profile. She hasn’t stopped getting lots of hate, the picture of her side view and Skyler’s side view was all over social media with different comparisons.
She began receiving lots of backlash of faking to be pregnant and also faking to have lost her baby during childbirth.
“Hailey, a minute please?” A reporter ran to her and she rolled her eyes before waiting.
“I’m sure you see all that is trending online. Are they correct? Have you been faking to be pregnant and married to the hidden billionaire all this while?” The reporter asked.
‘They are all miserable, Mason is rightfully mine! I fit in to be with him more than that wrench of a bastard girl so even if she gives birth to all kinds of children for him, he is still mine’ Hailey replied but it was all in her head, she only forced a smile.
“Well we all know how the media are, they love twisting things and making it all a big story, if you try explaining then things might get worse. Yes, my late grandpa was a friend to Mr Mario Delgado and I was an ex-bestie of Ivy, and apart from that I have no business with the Delgado family” After saying that, she hoped inside her car and her driver drove her off.
Hailey was pissed with all that was happening? She had a crush on Mason first so what was it with Skyler that he couldn’t love her the same?

THREE MONTHS LATER★
Three months have passed already and it was the final celebration of the end of fashion class and also a new launch of products to D•S.
A different fashion company was invited and it was happening by 11 am. Currently, it was 10 am, Skyler was getting ready in the best dress Edna and Ivy helped her to pick.
Today wouldn’t just be about the launch, Mason was finally ready to stop hiding under the mask and it would be happening today.
“Hey Mason, did you see my wedding ring? I dropped it somewhere on the bed” Skyler was dressed in a blue gown as she searched for her wedding ring on the bed but to her surprise, she met Maxwell playing with it.
“Max, that’s mummy’s ring and it’s really important to her so give it?” She stretched her arms to take it and he immediately put it in his mouth.
Skyler’s eyes widened and she stood akimbo.
“Mason I think it’s time to start lecturing your three-month-old son about putting objects into his mouth before I start spanking him,” Skyler said to Mason who was done styling his hair.
He sighed and walked towards his son.
“Give it back to me max, you shouldn’t eat mummy’s ring” He stretched his arms below Maxwell’s chin and he spat it out.
“Good boy” Mason kissed his cheeks and the little boy only responded by smiling.
Skyler felt jealous, seeing the father and son playing like that. She scoffed and clenched her wedding ring before putting it back on her finger and stepping out to take Scarlett from Scarlett since they were helping her get dressed.
Finally, they were ready to go to the company. They entered the car and drove to D•S.
Scarlett left her children with her mother and Grandpa before going to meet up with her colleagues while Mason went to meet his Cole business partners.
In no time the event started, the clothes made by the students of the fashion designers were shown. There were also some model runaways before the newest brand of D•S clothes design was introduced.
Everyone was going pretty well, Grandpa Mario had nothing but a proud smile on seeing how well his Grandson made the company he inherited from his grandpa more successful and was even influencing Skyler.
Kiara was also proud to see the works made by Skyler. She knew if her husband was still alive then he would be happy seeing Skyler halfway to getting a successful career.
The event was finally coming to an end when Mason came out to make his speech. People were already clapping and reporters were already taking pictures, even though he had a nose mask all the time, a lot of young girls still crush on him.
His handsomeness was screaming from all parts of his body, his suit, shoes, hairstyles, cars, and richness.
He stood in front of the mic not saying anything, people were eager to hear him say anything. It was really rare for him to come on stage like this. Even when inheriting D•S designs, he hasn’t for once faced the crowds and talked about it.
He suddenly put his hands from his face and pulled down his nose mask to speak but before he could even utter the word, the crowd’s screams already beat him to it.
Everyone present: Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!
