Andrian's POV

I called Skylar and informed her about the dinner party that was to take place that night.

At first, she said she's going to be really busy and won't have time for that but after much pleading, she finally decided to go with me.

Right now, I'm in my room getting dressed for the party while Skylar is also in her room getting ready.

My phone suddenly started ringing just when I was about leaving the room. Who the hell is disturbing me this time? I took out my phone and checked the caller. Leah??!

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.

    ✨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

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

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?

After about twenty to twenty five minutes, I was done wearing my clothes."What else?" I asked Skylar when I was done"Nothing.
