Regrets!

"You sure, Ria?" Alison crossed her fingers, all she wished was a change in her decision.

Ria nodded even though deep down she knew she was not at wrong.

Unknown to her own senses, a glint of moist started forming in her eyes.

Everyone sighed and this was how they broke their budding love. Noah and Kiara were depressed among everyone.

"It's lunchtime. Uncle, you need to rest." Mia said while taking away remote to pause.

Everyone sighed in unison, they knew the show as ended, the part they wanted to see will not happen in the next few episodes but still, everyone stuck to their seats.

"Let's have lunch here. I can rest here itself." His words were enough for the maids to start their meticulous work.

Soon everything was arranged for everyone to eat on their own seats except Lil Kai who was fast asleep. He was taken back to his room by one of the maids.

And to add up, Isla as already left the place informing Ian that she had some work to do.

Everything was so fresh and calm, all they wished was to see Ian again on the show with Mia.

With a deep sigh, Noah started the show again.

"So, Alex how does it feel to be on the show?" Andrew asked with a hint of disappointment.

"It was great to be here. First, when I saw her, all I thought was she would be one among everyone. But I am glad I was able to meet such a fierce girl ever in my life." This was his longest speech ever on the show.

The way he was adoring her with his eyes melted everyone's hearts.

"Actually, I am pissed and very curious about what went wrong between you two. One of you care to explain?" Alison scanned both of them to which Alex sighed.

"I don't know. Yesterday night, after that fight I went to meet her but she was fast asleep. Even this morning, I tried to reach her but, " He sighed. She had ignored him since last night for some unknown reason.

"Ria." Alison looked at her.

"I don't know, Ma'am. I just don't know what's this weird feeling is. I cried all night and thought about this but no answer. I just feel weird when he is around me. Even though we are happy I feel suffocated whenever he is around." Tears welled up in her eyes.

"Don't cry." Kevin held her hand tightly.

All of a sudden, Kelly walked towards them.

Everyone was shocked and happy at the same time but her dark expression surprised everyone.

"It's great to have you back Kelly." She smiled and nodded at Andrew's comment.

Even though her face was still pale, Kelly looked bright.

"So now Isla how do you feel?" Alison didn't ignore the grinning cat.

"I am happy Alison. We both came here to win but I am happy that we are still together even at our last times."

Everyone scowled. She would never learn to respect for sure.

On the show, it wasn't mandatory to hide your identity completely. It was one's wish to choose their own paths.

While many hid their surname and even changed names to avoid future complications which their families would never like, some liked to flaunt their wealth, their status like Isla.

So every single one knew she was from Margeret family and none dared to go against her except Ria. And she never respected any of them on the show trying to always be superior and mighty.

"Your last words for anyone here?" Andrew meant it especially for Alex who nodded.

Looking at Ria, he said,

"I don't know if I somehow hurt you, but I am truly sorry if I ever did. It was never intentional and I would miss your scoldings especially the 'Idiot' word."

Ria didn't dare to look at him controlling her already culpable heart.

"Ma'am, before they leave I wanna say something." Kelly raised her hand.

Alison and Andrew nodded.

"This girl sitting beside him is truly stupid. A fool to be exact." Kelly burst out.

Everyone looked at her in surprise including Riya.

"Finally someone has brains." Noah commented playing with his fork.

Except for Felix none touched their food completely immersed in the show.

"It's just been 10 days, Ma'am and to be honest this fool really likes him a lot. She is addicted to him, Ma'am. I don't know anyone noticed this but this guy, " Pointing towards Alex she continued,

"he adores her a lot. I have seen that spark between these two but the main problem is her ego."

None understood her words except Alison.

"Ria, not as your best friend, as a human being I am advising you, think once again."

"But it's waste. The decision is finalized." Andrew shrugged his shoulders.

"Ria just recall all the things he did to you. From sunrise to sunset he as always stayed with you like your shadow, took care of every single thing related you and not to forget without him you would have never been the ultimate queen." Kelly's every single word pricked her heart.

Tears started to drip down her eyes.

"Can-Can Can I reverse my decision?" Her words brought a huge smile on everyone's face.

"Finally, nothing goes in vain." Kiara mumbled silently eating her dumpling.

"Sorry Ria but the rules are same for everyone. Like mentioned in the first dumping session, reversing the decision would cost your throne. You need to destroy one of your badges to do that." Alison said in a grimace.

"Regretting your decision?" Andrew looked at her. Her silence was the best answer.

She knew destroying one badge would cost her a lose but what she cared the most was Kevin's badge.

She was not so heartless to ask him to destroy it after all battles and hurdles they performed this morning.

"Come." Kevin stood up surprising everyone.

She blinked her tears.

"What? Don't you want him back in the show?" He held his hand out. She looked at him to which he smiled,

"I can earn it again. There's no need to feel guilty."

Dragging her down, they walked down the throne and in the fireplace that was lit in the middle, they threw their badges.

With that, Ria still had four while Kevin one and Ian with three.

"So today no one is going home." Alison squealed in excitement and everyone clapped.

"See you tomorrow."

"And you guys talk it out. Holding back won't do any good." Alison said in particular to Ria.

In the villa.

"Ria, wait." Alex held her hand but she didn't budge.

"I am tired." Holding back her tears, she said.

"Leave me, Alex."

"I won't until you clear it out."

"There's nothing to clear between us. I saved you today just to compensate for the three tasks you have won with me."

"Riya, are you sure?"

"Yes, I am dam sure I don't wanna continue this shitty thing between us."

Her words made him sigh.

She really had a complicated heart to understand.
