✨Chapter 24✨
Andrian's POV
I 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 smile
I 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
✨Episode 29✨Leah's POVI'm sure Skylar must be struggling for her life now but there's no way she will ever survive that deadly poison.Mira is my long time friend and she's just the perfect person for the job. 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. I will send your balance to you after her death has been announced""Alright"I ended the call and smiled triumphantly. I'm the boss lady!Andrian's POVI was in my off
✨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
✨Episode 31✨Authoress' POVNurses and doctors were seen running around trying to save Skylar. Her condition suddenly got worse and everyone are scared she won't make it.After hours of running and trying their best, she finally gave up."Time of death: 11:15 am; 24th February, 1986" the head doctor announced sadly and leftA white cloth was used to cover her whole body and the nurses also left.Skylar stared at her body covered with the white cloth. She watched as the nurses and doctors left the ward shaking their head.She was confused on what to do. She didn't know if she was to continue living or just give up because of the number of people after her life.She already knows Mira was behind what happened to her. She's not someone that trusts people easily but Mira looked really friendly so she didn't think twice before accepting her as a friend.Thinking about Ella, she concluded she had no choice
✨Episode 32✨Andrian's POVSkylar opened her eyes after I apologised and I called out her name excitedly but almost immediately, I comported myself and wore a cold look on.I'm really happy that she has finally waken up but it still doesn't mean I should scream like that. I'm not even supposed to show it so she won't start feeling on top of the word."You're so dumb Andrian" I cussed myself inwardly before raising my head to stare at her"How are you feeling?" I asked calmly"I'm fine" she answered in a barely audible voice"Alright. I will be leaving now, I only came to do something and I decided to check up on you. Do you need anything?"I mentally applauded myself for my smooth lies. Well done Andrian, you deserve an accolade for the lie you just told now"No" she answered after giving me a long stare. I just hope she didn't hear me apologise befkre she wake up"Okay, bye" I said and left th
✨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
