Elsa tried to stop staring at the affectionate couple, but couldn't stop herself.
"Elsa" Trevor called gently, waking her up from her trance. She cleared her throat and look elsewhere. Why is she feeling bad anyway, she is now with Trevor. "You're feeling bad?" Trevor asked beside her.
"I just need to visit the restroom" Elsa spoke and stood up immediately, while Trevor has a hard look on his face.
"Why do you have to do that?" Delphine asked when they sit.
"I don't want anyone to bully you" Calton replied. He had asked Max to bring him another suit already.
"I need to visit the restroom, I'll back soon" Delphine said. Calton nodded.
"I'll escort" He said.
"Don't worry it's fine, I can handle myself" she said. Calton battled inwardly before he finally let her go. Delphine stood and head towards the restroom.
Getting there, she came before Elsa who was about to head back to the hall. They both stared at each other for a while.
"How do you feel after snatching what's mine.. huh? You're even living with him, aren't you ashame of yourself?" Elsa asked breaking the silence between them.
"I should be the one asking you that. He wasn't yours in the first place, you pretended to be me" Delphine said, her face calm but one could sense the anger in them. She had faced a lot because of Elsa.
"Everything was perfect between us. Who are you to ruin everything!" Elsa stepped close, almost rasing her voice at her.
"Watch it Elsa. You're disgracing yourself. I and Calton was made for each other from the start. You were the one standing in our way.."
"Hey!!!!" Elsa barked at her face.
"Hey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Delphine barked even louder and her face turn unbelievably cold. She stepped closer, her height overcoming Elsa. "Don't even dare try to mess with me again. Trust me, you don't wanna see the other side of me". Elsa wasn't seeing the nice, gentle Delphine anymore, she was cold as ice.
Pushing her slightly from the way, Delphine walked pass her while Elsa fummed in anger.
"I'll kill you" Elsa muttered.

The function continue. Calton has a smile on his face same with Delphine, he had his suit changed already.
Trevor and Elsa on the other hand felt uncomfortable.
It was finally time to announce the models selected for the annual shows. Models chosen were called out one after the other.
Trevor was mentioned, he stood and gave the camera a big smile and walk towards the stage while the audience clapped for him. His gaze settled on Calton, it was remaining one person and he hadn't been called yet.
Judging from Calton's absence and Scandals, Trevor thought Calton won't be among.
"And lastly we have our best of best among the models. His work and styles has been mind blowing over the years. This is no other than.. Calton Winfrey!" The MC announced.
Rana and Delphine immediately began to clap their hands along side with the audience. Most of them even stood up to their feet with a big smile.

You are the best!...
Women in the hall screamed his name. Trevor clinched his fist secretly, he just keep hating Calton more and more.
Calton have a big smile on his as the MC welcomed him on stage. His eyes went towards Delphine and he smiled widened.

(AVERY'S APARTMENT)
Avery had her popcorn as she stared at her brother on the screen, she was wearing a comfortable home dress. She already knew her brother was going to be among anyway.
Her mind drifted to Lucas, she recalled the moment they kissed. A smile spread through her face as she touched her lips. She remembered how his gentle touch on her waist, pulling her close to himself while moving his soft lips against hers.
She reached her phone to check if he had messaged or call her but there was none. Her face dropped with sadness but she shook her head immediately. Why is she thinking about him? She stared at her phone wondering if she should call him or not.
Her doorbell rang, and she woke up in her trance. Realizing what she was thinking Avery breath out in disbelief. She got down from the couch and went to check who it was.
Her face turn paled seeing Lucas at her doorstep. He was dressed in a black suit looking handsome as usual.
He wished to take her out for dinner.
"Sorry I didn't announce my coming. My phone was dead. Wanna...."
Avery shut the door before he could finish his word. She held her chest feeling it beating fast. Taking a deep breath, she opened the door again just to make sure she wasn't seeing things. Lucas was still standing at her doorstep with a confused look.
"Why are you making me feel weird?" Avery asked, tilting her head one side.
"Huh?"
"I said, why are you making me feel weird? Why is my heart beating fast whenever you are around me? Why do you keep lingering in my head? Why..." She stopped and took a deep breath. "Why do I miss you?"
Lucas lips remain parted as he stared at the woman before him. He had been going crazy all day. Only he knows how happy he is to hear those word from her lips.
"I love you Avery" Lucas said without thinking twice.
Avery eyes teared up. Her heart skipped a beat hearing that word. She stepped closer, holding his collar and crashed her lips on his. Lucas responded to the kiss and she pulls him into her apartment, shutting the door.
"I love you too" Avery said against his lips. Lucas smile and pulled her waist close.

(CALTON'S APARTMENT)
Delphine was making breakfast when Calton walked into the kitchen.. he pulled her waist and gave her a light peck on the cheek.
"I love you" Delphine said causing Calton to smile wider.
They actually confessed their love after the function where Calton was chosen as one of the models participating in the vogue shoot.
"I love you" Calton turn her around and kissed her gently.
"Mom!" Davidson ran into the kitchen, in his school uniform. Spotting them in the position, he smiled cutely. Calton disconnected himself from Delphine, they didn't want to corrupt the little one.
"I'm going to school. You can continue" Davidson said with a cute smile, shocking them both.
"Huh? Continue what?" Caltona asked.
"What a man and a woman does"
"What?!" Calton's eyes flew wide open. "What do you mean?"
"Bye!" Davidson ran off.
Calton huffed in disbelief while Delphine started laughing. "He need to stop watching TV" he muttered and Delphine laughed hardly.
"He speaks more than his age" Delphine said between her laughter. Calton went back to her and pulled her waist to him again.
"Shall we continue as he had said?" Calton asked placing his forehead on hers.
"You should get going" Delphine said.
"Ah right, we'll continue tonight" Calton said and Delphine laughed lightly.
After eating small breakfast, Calton entered his car and drove off. As his car moved, a strange car followed him.
Meanwhile, immediately Calton left. A feminine figure whose face and body was covered in a black cloth went into the house.
Delphine finished the dishes and went to the living room only to find Elsa standing at the entrance with a knife. Her eyes cold as she stared a Delphine.

Calton drove off to a quiet area, the strange car which had been following him the whole time stopped from a distance.
Calton stepped out from the car and entered the quiet building before him.
Five men stepped down from the strange car. They were all dressed in black, with a gun. They all head towards the building at once.
Getting in, they spot Calton facing them, with a blank look on his face. They all raised their gun pointing it towards Calton.
The guy at the middle, removed the black piece of cloth from his face, Trevor! He smirked.
"Any last word?" Trevor asked.
