✨Chapter 23✨
Skylar's POV
It was evening already so I just laid on the bed after eating dinner staring at nothing in particular.
I don't like the way I'm lying helplessly on this goddamn bed. I don't even know how my sister is doing.
Andrian also stopped checking up on me, I don't even know what I was expecting in the first place.
I stared at the ceiling lost in thought when the lights suddenly went of. Huh?
I became conscious of my environment and instantly sat up. There have been different attempts on my life lately and this might be one of them.
I don't even care whether it's one of them or not. What matters is for me to stay safe until the lights are on again.
I slowly got up from the bed because the wound was yet to heal up and then I crawled under the bed and tried to be as quiet as I could.
Minutes later, I heard the door open. Oh God, please save me. How am I supposed to know who is at the door?

✨Chapter 24✨Andrian's POVI left Skylar's ward and went to sit in my car, thinking about how much I've changed.This isn't me. Since when did I become this soft hearted?I took someone I barely know to my moms hospital, put her in a special ward and kept checking up on her. It's not just even anyone, a female at that.I have to return to my old self because I don't like this new me one bit.I shouldn't care about Skylar because she's just my PA and also a female. I need to become that strict and arrogant boss.I ignited my car and drove off to my company.I got there with my stiff face and went straight to my office. Getting inside, I met Zoey waiting for me in the reception. I totally forgot about our discussion yesterday. "Good morning Andrian" she greeted with a smileI noticed she's looking different (in a good way) this morning but I don't really care. "Morning" I replied wit
✨Chapter 25✨Andrian's POVWhat have I done? Did I just have sex with my childhood friend? What exactly has gotten into me?I was never like this before so how did everything suddenly change?I picked my briefcase and left my office. "Make sure you lock my office before leaving" I said to my secretary and headed homeThroughout the drive home, all I kept thinking about was the sex I just had. The Andrian I know gets disgusted just by the sight of women but now, I just had sex with one.I don't even know who to blame. Should I blame Zoey for seducing me or should I blame myself for falling cheaply for her trick? This is so frustrating!The driver got home and parked the car. I didn't waste a second before taking my briefcase and went inside.When I got to the sitting room, I noticed everywhere was sparkling and Skylar was sitted with Avery and Ella. So Skylar has done all these within the few hours she arrived here
✨Episode 26✨Skylar's POVI stared from Andrian to Michael not knowing what to do. Why should I even be like this because of Andrian?"Uhhm.... I will need time to think about it" I said facing him"Sure, you can do just that""Alright. Which drink do you prefer? I will still cook but you should at least take something before then""I think I will take whiskey" he answered with a shrug taking a seat at the same time."Okay" I headed to the mini bar to take a bottle of whiskey and a glass cup. I gently placed the bottle and glass cup on the table before him."What would you like to eat?" I asked politely"Macaroni and cheese with fried chicken" he answered"Alright. It will be done in few minutes" I said and left for the kitchen*45 minutes later*I dished out the food and took it to Andrian's friend in the sitting room."Enjoy your meal" I said and walked away b
✨Episode 27✨Andrian's POVI sat down dejectedly as Zoey left my office. How could I have let myself loose easily and fall for her seduction?I know I should be blaming her for seducing me but I can't just do that. It's not like she forced herself on me so we're both at fault here."Get me Zoey now" I said into the intercom and sighed tiredlyWhat the hell am I supposed to tell her when she comes?"Zoey, I understand your plight and I promise to think about us being lovers. I just need time, that's all"How can I think of saying that? That's absurd! Okay, how about this?"Zoey, I'm really sorry about what happened and I promise to make it up to you in anyway I can. Ask for anything, anything at all apart from us being lovers please.... "Wow! That's totally cool! I think I will go with that."She's hear sir" my secretary announced and I suddenly became nervous and sweaty."Let her
✨Episode 28✨Andrian's POVAfter Khloe left my office, I went outside my office to meet my secretary."Where were you fifteen minutes ago?" I asked sternly"I... I went to eat sir. I didn't take breakfast this morning, I'm really sorry for leaving my duty post" she explained shakily and I felt bad instantlyAre people this scared of me? That's what I've always wanted and I've never felt bad about it before but one person changed it. I shrugged the thoughts off and focus on the matter at hand."Alright. But the next time this happens, get ready to stop working in my company" I said coldly and left"Get me Skylar" I said into the intercom when I got into my office. I forgot to tell her when I went outsideFew minutes later, Skylar came in with a straight face."You sent for me sir" she reminded when I didn't say a word"Yeah. Why did you just barge into my office earlier on without knocking?""I

I trust her to do it without mistakes.Now that Skylar is out of the way, Zoey is the next person I have to get rid of. Because of what we share, I wouldn't want to hurt her. I will just have to think of the perfect plan to make her stop seeing Andrian.I wonder why Mira hasn't called to give me good news. Could it be that she failed? No, of course not!Almost immediately, her call came in. Wow! Talk of the devil."I trust the job has been done" I said into the phone"Of course! Don't you trust me?""I do.

✨Episode 30✨Andrian's POVAfter contemplating on what to do, I finally decided to choose Skylar.She's the perfect match for me. She won't act clingy and would definitely stick to the rules of the contract.If I choose Zoey, she will seize the opportunity to give me problems and she wouldn't want to leave even after the contract ends so Skylar is just the best option."I'm leaving man. Good night""Alright. So have you decided on who you want or you will just go out and pick a random girl?""I will choose Skylar but the problem is, she's between life and death right now. Someone poisoned her at work today and there's a really low possibility that she's going to survive" I explained to him"Wow! How did something like that happen in your company? You should get to the bottom of this quickly because we don't know who's next" Michael suggested"You're right! I've started investigating it already so it's
