✨Chapter 2✨
Andrian's POV
"You're fired, you dimwit. How can you be so clumsy that you can't handle a cup of coffee? Get out of my sight this instant" I screamed at the 10th PA I employed in two weeks.
I don't understand them. It's either they're too clumsy or they try to seduce me, I've tried male PA's but they're too slow for my liking.
"Kyle! Kyle!!" I screamed my manager's name from my office
"Sir?" he replied walking briskly towards me
"Put up posters for vacancy as a PA in my company, you can also make it known online. Tell my secretary to cancel all the appointments I will be having on Saturday because this time around, I will be the one to interview them personally"
"Okay sir" he said and left my office
I'm Andrian Carter, the only son and first child of my wealthy parents.
Call me rude and arrogant, I don't care. There's nothing I hate as much as I hate commoners and girls especially girls.
They're too weak to be among men and apart from that, they sleep around. The only thing they are after in a guy is his money and that's why I sack my PAs almost every hour.
The female PAs I've had only know how to try to seduce me with their skimpy dresses, I wonder when they will learn to accept that I'm not interested in them.
"Andrian" I heard Avery call my name. Oh no! The little devil is back from school. She doesn't have manners and if not for the fact that she's my sister, I would have dealt with her.
"Avery, how many times have I told you to stop calling me Andrian?"
"What should I call you then, Your Royal Majesty?" she asked mockingly
"Call me "big brother" or "bro Andrian". Do I look like your mate?"
"If Mom wanted me to call you "bro Andrian", she would have included it in your name when she was naming you so don't disturb me.
I'm going to change my clothes now. When I come back, we will go out. I want to go to the park and I will take ice cream when I'm done. After that we will go to the cinema.
Give me few minutes and remember, no excuses." she said sternly and walked away.
Remind me about how I came across this brat. She definitely wouldn't take any excuses like she said when she finally returns.
Zoey's POV
Thank goodness I will be returning to USA today. Ohh how I've missed Andrian.
I really love Andrian a lot but he doesn't notice it. I've tried everything possible but it's not working.
Andrian can't stand the sight of women, I'm the only lady privileged to go closer to him and I know it will remain that way forever because he's really difficult to please.
Besides, ever since his Mom died, I've been the only lady by his side and I know he won't just discard me like that.
Few minutes later, I arrived at USA. I called Andrian to pick me up but he said he went out with his sister. That little devil!
She hates me so much and I also hate her but I pretend to like her whenever Andrian is around.
I know Andrian loves her so much and he wouldn't date anyone that doesn't like his sister not to talk of marry her.
I called one of my drivers to pick me up and we went to my mansion.
Skylar's POV
After searching for job the whole day without getting a positive result, I decided to rest under a tree.
I have to be strong for Ella, I wouldn't want her to loose concentration in her studies.
I rested for about thirty minutes before deciding to go home.
"Sister Skylar!!" Ella screamed happily and came running to me
"How are you doing Ella?" I asked giving her a faux smile
"I'm fine. How was work today?"
"Work was fine and we had lots of customers today" I hate lying to her but I have no other option now
"Wow! I was still thinking of how to inform you about my tuition fee. Thank goodness!
So how much did you make today?" she asked with much enthusiasm
I almost broke into tears when she asked that question but I pulled myself together, I have to be strong for her.
"I'm going to receive the money tomorrow"
"Thanks best sis in the world. I made your favorite, let's eat"
"I want to freshen up first, I will join you later" and with that I went hurriedly into my room and broke down in tears.
How exactly am I supposed to get that amount of money tomorrow when I don't even have a job?
Andrian's POV
I took Avery to all the places she wanted to go and I swear it was really tiring.
She made sure we walked on foot. I don't even know how she became my sister, she's just too wicked.
"Andrian, don't you think trekking home will be fun?" she smiled innocently showing her white teeth
"Avery please..... You've punished me enough already, let's just go home.
You can call me Andrian or whatever pleases you, just please..... let's go home"
"Awwn.......... The almighty Andrian is begging me. Fine then but on one condition"
"Which condition?"
"Zoey won't come to the mansion. I heard she returned here today, I don't want to set my eyes on her. Deal?"
"Deal!!" I said without much thinking
All I want is to go to my room and rest from the stress this little devil has made me pass through.
"When are you going to get married?" Avery asked out of the blue
"And how is that your business?" I snapped at her already pissed by her attitude
"You know, I could just ask them to take the car back and then we'll trek home." she said smirking
"Fine, what do you want?"
"When are you getting married?"
"You of all people should know I'm not interested in ladies"
"Are you interested in men then?"
"Of course not!"
"So do you want to die single and not have a child to take over your business? I can swear on my life that you are still a virgin"
"Avery, how old are you?"
"What kind of question is that? I'm 13 of course!"
"Are you sure? Maybe Mom made a mistake in the year she told you. I think we should check your birth certificate"
"If you get me angry one more time, we are going to walk home"
"Sorry... I'm no longer saying anything"
"Better. Just make sure you don't get married to Zoey or any sassy bitch or else I will make their lives a living hell" she threatened and got into the car.
What a sister!

✨Chapter 3✨*Next day*Skylar's POVI woke up early today and quickly made breakfast. I couldn't eat last night because I lost the appetite to do that. "Ella, come down for breakfast" "Just minute sis. Good morning big sis" "Morning baby. How was your night?" "It was fine. Did you eat last night?" "Oh.. yeah, I ate" "That's great."She hurriedly ate her food and picked her back. "I'm off to school" "Alright, have a nice day"I'm left alone now. Where exactly do I start my job hunting? Let me check online.I searched for available jobs but none of them went in line with what I studied. Besides, the pay is not that great; I don't even think it will be enough to pay half of Ella's School fee if I deduct transport fare.I was about giving up when I saw a vacancy at C. A (Carter Andrian) company. I know I won't be employed so I shou
✨Chapter 4✨Skylar's POVElla returned from school in the afternoon smiling widely like someone who had just won a trophy. "Good afternoon sis" she greeted happily "Afternoon Ella. What's with your happy mood this afternoon?" "I'm really happy because I will be paying my tuition fee tomorrow" "T.. tomorrow? Did someone promise to pay for you?" Immediately I said that, she looked at me as if I had gone nuts. "Weren't you the one that told me your boss will be paying you today because you had lots of customers yesterday?" she said making me gulp nervously "I .. errm.... my boss said we will be paid next week. He wants to add the money up and pay us in full. I'm really sorry" her bright mood became dull instantly "You know I only have until next week before I will be asked to stay back at home and exam is also going to resume in two weeks time." "I know Ella. Just be pati
✨Chapter 5✨Andrian'sPOVI don't know why I employed that girl. For all I know, she might not even be qualified but something just kept drawing me to her.When I saw her walking sullenly, I felt like helping her was the only right thing to do at that moment.I sent one of my guards to ask her to come over to my house by 6pm so that we can discuss about her new job.At least, I need to know her qualifications and some important things. "Get me Kyle now" I said to my secretary as soon as I got to my office "I'm right here sir" Kyle said the moment he got in. "I have a new PA now so you can dismiss the applicants" "But sir..... " he was trying to say but I cut him off "No buts. I've made my decision and that's final" "Alright sir" and with that, he left.I myself don't even know what I'm doing but I just hope I didn't make a wrong decision by employing that girl.
Chapter 6Andrian'sPOVI watched the girl whose name I later discovered to be Skylar as she entered mansion. I studied her like a predator would his prey. "Good evening sir" she greeted nervously when her eyes met mineI stared at her from her head to her toe without saying a single word. "Follow me" I finally said after few minutes of silenceWe walked for a while until we finally arrived at my study. I wouldn't want Avery to come downstairs and meet her in the sitting room, I'm fed up of that girl's behaviour. "You're welcome to my mansion. Have your seat" "Thank you sir" she answered politely and sat down "So... I told you you're hired this morning. Do you know the job I hired you for?" "No sir" "Good. The vacancy we had was for my PA but your qualifications don't meet my expectation. What do we do about that?" "Sir, I really need the job. I promise to b
Chapter 7Mason'sPOVAfter a long search, I've finally been able to get the place Skylar lives.I heard her parents passed away so she's no longer a rich girl. I heard she lives in her parents house with her lite sister.I'm sure she wouldn't hesitate to say yes to me once I ask her out because she needs a helping hand now.I would have gone to her house first thing tomorrow morning but the winner of the contract will be decided tomorrow so I will see her in the evening after work.Besides, I don't think she will sit idly at home in the morning doing nothing. From what I found out, she's into different part time jobs so it will be late in the night before she arrive home.Tomorrow! Tomorrow!!Zoey's POVLeah has finally drafted a plan on how to win Andrian over, that girl is a genius!She asked me to work in Andrian's company for starters, that way I will get closer to him and prevent any bitch from going closer to hi
Chapter 8Skylar'sPOVWhen we got to the mansion, the driver took us in and showed I and Ella our room.The mansion is wow! I didn't get the chance to look at it properly the first time I came here but taking a close look at it now, it's really beautiful and screams money.I wonder how much boss used in building this big mansion.Ahh! I almost forgot that boss asked me to prepare dinner before he arrives. "Ella, stay in here and finish up your assignment. For no reason whatsoever should you leave this room, have I made myself clear" "Yes big sis" she answered and I left the roomI proceeded to the kitchen after that. The driver already told me where it was.I got there and noticed a time table on the wall. They're going to take pasta as dinner.Thank goodness! I was thinking about what to cook and they just made it easier for me.I turned on the gas cooker and started cooking. There were other equipments
Chapter 9Zoey'sPOVThe clumsy PA that Andrian employed recently annoys me a lot. She's really beautiful and I'm beginning to feel insecure. Andrian might just fall in love with her and forget about me.I was still thinking about that when I bumped into her. Ohh no, not again.I pulled her back and slapped her after she tried walking out on me but the cold look she gave me send shivers down my spine. "Andrian, you need to fire the new PA you employed" I said to Andrian when I got to his office "And why should I do that?" he asked with a scoff "She disrespects me a lot. You won't believe she almost slapped me today" "Really? You mean Skylar tried to slap you?" "Of course. Don't you believe me?" "I do. Get me my PA" Andrian said referring to his secretary through the intercom and Skylar came in few minutes later "Sir, you sent for me" Skylar's voice sounded. She has this
Chapter 10Skylar'sPOVI had already tucked Ella to bed and was about sleeping when I heard the intercom. I stood up to get it immediately to avoid getting on the boss' bad side."Skylar get dressed, I need you to accompany me to somewhere" he said and ended the callHuh? I should accompany him somewhere this night? Is he serious?Oh goodness! What have I gotten myself into?I checked my wardrobe for a dress and freshened up before changing into it. I applied light make over and went downstairs.I had to wait for some minutes before he came downstairs and he ordered me to get dressed like he was done.But truth be told, he looks really handsome in casuals. I hope I didn't make it to obvious that I'm drooling over him because I see no reason why he should be staring at me like this, it's freaking me out.He got to where I stood and just when I thought he was going to compliment my dress or something, he said in his arrogant
✨Episode 72 / Epilogue✨Skylar's POVI stared at my phone as it rang. Mason was the one calling and I didn't know if I was to answer the call or not.What does he wants after making a fool out of me? I was the dumb one to believe he had changed.He called the third time and I figured I has no choice but to answer the call."Hello Skylar" his voice came in"Yeah, what do you have to say?" I asked a bit rudely"Is something wrong?" he asked like he's concerned"Why are you asking? For how long do you want to keep pretending?" I asked going straight to the point"I don't understand" he said trying to act dumb, well two can play this game"You don't understand? Is it the fact that you impregnated Leah and schemed with her to pin it on Andrian? Or the fact that you made a fool out of me?" I asked getting angry"I see you found out my plans already. Well, that doesn't matter. Ella should be with my
✨Episode 71✨(Final Episode)Skylar's POVAfter the hot romance between Andrian and I, we laid on the bed staring at the ceiling lost in different thoughts.I haven't had sex with Andrian yet because I'm scared. Scared because I heard first time is always painful and also because I don't know if Andrian will like me afterwards.I shrugged the thought of my mind and just stared into space."Why are you avoiding sex?" Andrian asked making me gulp nervously"I... I'm not avoiding it" I stuttered helplessly"Really? You always stop me whenever we are close to doing it and you said you're not avoiding it?" he asked with a scoff"I'm really not avoiding it""Fine then! Let's do it now since you're not avoiding it""I... We can do it later, not now""Are you scared?" he asked softly"No! Why would I be scared?" I answered raising my voice a little"Okay, i
✨Episode 70✨(Semi-final)Andrian's POVI sat in the garden just staring into space. Within few days, my life has become something else entirely.I can't believe Leah will go to this extent. What did I ever do to her? I guess this is the price I have to pay for sleeping with two friends. I don't know what I was thinking."What are you thinking about?" Skylar asked sitting beside me"Nothing" I lied looking away"You don't have to deny it. I know you're thinking about what is happening but you really don't have to think about it anymore.Avery told me something just now" she said making me turn to face her"What did she tell you?" I asked anxiously"She said the pregnancy doesn't belong to you, it belongs to someone else" she said and I felt my head spin"W.. what did you say?" I stutteredI must have heard wrong. There's no way Leah is pregnant for someone else."You
✨Episode 69✨Skylar's POVI listened to the recording posted by an anonymous person over and over again.The voice clearly belongs to Leah and she was talking to someone else probably on phone because the other person's voice wasn't heard.One thing is obvious in the record. She's pregnant for someone but she's trying to pin it on someone else.Does this mean she's pregnant for someone else and she's trying to pin it on Andrian or she's pregnant for Andrian and she's trying to pin it on someone else?Aish!!! I'm going crazy! If she had just mentioned someone's name, then this puzzle will be solved.Maybe the first thing to do is find out who posted the record. I'm sure the person will have a clue to what Leah really meant.I stood up to go in search of Andrian but I stopped in my track when I remembered something.Avery mention something about posting a record when she was talking to Leah yesterday so
Let Avery handle it✨Episode 68✨Skylar's POVI stood at the door looking confused. I just finished cooking and I came to call Avery downstairs but what I heard made me stop.She was threatening someone but who? I heard her talk about the kidnap so I think it's Leah but I'm not sure about that.What did Avery discuss with Leah that evening? If only I could know what they talked about, then I would have the answers to my questions.I sighed tiredly before knocking the door."Come in" I heard Leah's voice"Dinner is ready, come downstairs" I said to her"Alright, I'll be there soon" she said not looking up from her phoneI stared at her for a while before going back downstairs. I just hope Avery knows what she's doing because Leah can be very dangerous.After we were done eating, I cleared the plates and washed them in the kitchen.I took out my phone as I sat on one of the couches in the sitting
✨Episode 67✨Andrian's POVI sat in my office as I waited patiently for Skylar's call. I told her to call me once they get to school but I haven't seen her call and it's being a while they left home.I'm beginning to have a bad feeling but I don't know what to do. I even tried calling her but she didn't pick my calls.Just when I stood up to go in search of them, my phone rang and I discovered it was Skylar calling. I sat down and hurriedly picked the call."Hello! How are you doing? What of Avery and Ella? Is everything okay?" I asked anxiously before she could say a word"Yeah, I guess" she muttered and I became really scared"S... Skylar! What happened?""It turned out that Avery was right, we're fine though""Did something happen?""Yeah, I'll tell you when we get back home""Okay, take care of yourself for me""You too" she mumbled before ending the callI rubbed my sw
✨Episode 66✨Zoey's POVI went back to my mansion in tears. How could Leah do that to me? The most painful part of it is that she doesn't feel remorseful.Why didn't I see that part of her all these while we were together? Was there a time she ever considered me her best friend?If she has been craving for Andrian all these time, does that mean she was the one that asked Mira to poison Andrian and framed me for it? Oh goodness!She acted like she cared and even encouraged me to be strong but she was the real enemy?Can my life get any worse? I don't think so!Right now, I don't even know what to do anymore. Andrian thinks I'm his enemy but he doesn't know his real enemy is right under his nose.How could Andrian even think of sleeping with Leah and getting her pregnant? Isn't he ashamed?Thank goodness he already ended our friendship because I would have been the one to do it now.Avery's POV
✨Episode 65✨ Avery's POV I walked up the stairs with a smirk plaserered on my face. Leah must be dumb to think I will sit and watch her do whatever she likes to Andrian. I know you must be confused about the recording I played so I'll explain it. *Flashback to the day Leah visited Andrian in his mansion* Authoress POV After Skylar saw Andrian and Leah kissing, she couldn't sleep anymore so she went to see Audrey before going on a date with Mason from there. Avery and Ella arrived from school and they noticed the unusual quietness in the house but they paid no attention to it because they were tired. When they were done changing their clothes, Avery decided to go to the balcony and that was where she saw Leah. Leah was on a call and she was backing Avery so she had no idea that someone was behind her. "You can say that again. He's so gullible and I'm sure he won't think twice before a
✨Episode 64✨Andrian's POV*The next day*Skylar woke me up in the morning to take my bath. Surprisingly, she was already dressed."Didn't you sleep?" I asked after staring at her for a while"I slept, I only woke up early. The time is 7:00 already, stand up and go and bath"I sluggishly stood up and went to the bathroom. After about twenty to twenty five minutes, I was done wearing my clothes."What else?" I asked Skylar when I was done"Nothing. I already called the guards to take our bags""Let's go then" I said leading the wayWe were both wearing dark shades to avoid the media and public and I prayed within me that none of them should recognize us.Thankfully, no one noticed us and we finally got into the private jet. I don't know what awaits me when I return to USA but with Skylar by my side, I feel safe and somehow confident.We arrived at USA few hours later. The guards he
