PLAN B

Connie’s POV I watched the entire scene furiously and when Sarah ran out, I followed her, eager to confront her. Whether Kyrian and I were just acting or not, we were a couple all the same and no other woman should be able to put her fangs on my man. Unfortunately, I was robbed of the opportunity to confront her because she was taken for an interview by Pat. I wonder how they seemed to have set up everything in advance. I began to walk back to the clinic and that was when I met Director Vress on the way. He seemed to be waiting for someone so I just thought of walking past him quietly. I couldn’t do that in the end though.“Connie,” he called. “See me for a minute.” I turned to him, “I am kind of busy right now.” “I don’t think so,” he replied. “Aren’t you heading to the clinic?”“I am, why do you think I can’t get busy there?” I asked in reply. “Take a deep breath. You sound overwhelmed,” he muttered. “Do you need a drink? We could go to my office and-” “What is this gesture?”

EYES NEVER LIE

Zarek’s POVI remained outside the clinic with Sasha, waiting for us to be called in. I didn’t come empty-handed, I had gotten some fruits and Sasha had told me what a great idea it was earlier. “Things are so dramatic,” I said, turning to Sasha. She didn’t reply as her attention had shifted elsewhere. I looked in her direction and realized she was staring at Daniel. She had an amused expression that left me feeling unsettled. I moved even closer to her and tapped her lightly on the shoulder. She turned to me with urgency, “Oh, hey. I wasn’t looking at Daniel.” “I didn’t ask you if you were,” I muttered, staring at her suspiciously. “Oh, alright,” she nodded. “Do you need something?” “I don’t have to need something to call for your attention,” I pointed out.“Of course, you are right,” she nodded. I sighed, “Are you sure everything is fine, Sasha? You are acting really suspiciously.”“Everything’s fine,” she smiled at me. “You should be able to confide in me if there is anythin

ALL HUMANS ARE EVIL

Connie’s POVI was in the living room which was empty like never before. Almost everyone was at the clinic so that wasn’t really surprising. What came with staying alone was unpleasant thoughts and while I tried not to, I couldn’t help but think about the things Director Vress had said to me. In the end, there would be no one to take my side.I turned on the stereo speaker and started to listen to some music blast through it. It was a Taylor Swift song and I knew it because I had listened to that same song very well. I sang along now, “Saw you there, and I thought. Oh my God, look at that face, you look like my next mistake. Love’s a game, wanna play?”“Connie,” I heard and that wasn’t from the speaker, trust me. I turned my head to the direction of where the sound came and there was Zarek, standing right there. I stood up and lowered the speaker’s volume. He moved even closer, smiling. “Hey, what’s up?” I asked pleasantly. “I’m all good. How are you?” he asked. “I’m sweet,” I mu

CONTROL

Daniel’s POV I stood around the clinic not because I wanted to but because I had to. I haven’t been making enough of an impression on the show and here was my chance to do so. Someone stepped outside, the same person that had been ushering people in from the start. “Mr. Daniel, it is your turn to come in.”I nodded and walked straight inside. I heard my phone beep and I checked it out. It was a text message from Sasha, short and direct. “Craving you badly. I’ll wait in your room.”I stood walking for a moment and replied to her text, “I will be running late. Leave for now.” I threw my phone into my pocket and walked into the ward. I heard my phone beep again but I didn’t check it this time around. Kyrian’s face turned cold the moment he saw me and I smiled, excited that I still gave him the shivers. “I heard you fainted. You look better than I thought,” I muttered. Kyrian scoffed, “That sounds like you wanted me to be in a terrible condition.” I began to laugh hysterically, “W

DEPRESSION

Kyrian's POV The visits stopped eventually and the camera crew left. I had thought the visits were a bother and that Director Vress was just using me but the silence that followed after their exit threw me off. I was alone on the hospital bed with no one in sight and naturally, I began to think, the kind of thoughts that had landed me in the hospital in the first place. I remembered what happened yesterday. I had picked a fight with one of my teammates and Coach Reeves had broken the news to me. He wanted me to take a break and although he put it nicely, I knew it was a suspension that I might not come back from. Breaks were dangerous in my sport as it was very possible that when you came back, there would be no more space for you in the team. I couldn't let it happen, I didn't want it to happen but I couldn't think of a solution either. The door opened for the first time in a while and the doctor came in with a male nurse behind him. The doctor looked at me briefly and nodded in w

NOWHERE TO BE FOUND

Connie's POV The lie I had told Zarek weighed heavily on me and I had to put it away somehow. I thought of doing something stressful to see if I could sweat it out but then it started to snow. The weather had turned cold and many people went back to their rooms to cuddle and maybe do something more. Kyrian wasn't at the house and even if he was, I doubt he would let us cuddle. I had no one today, not even Hori because she was among the first set of people to go to their rooms. She had Sean, good for her. I sat down still, believing I would be able to skate through the boredom but at some point, I felt I would lose my mind if I had no one to talk to. I decided to go to Kyrian and immediately, I got my umbrella and went to the clinic. I entered his ward without any hitch but Kyrian wasn't there. I checked the toilet and it was unoccupied. I went out instantly and met a nurse outside. “Excuse me,” I called out. “Where is Kyrian? I can't find him in his room.” “He has been discharged

NOWHERE TO BE FOUND II

Connie's POV “Find Kyrian immediately!” Harlow ordered. Brisk didn't like the order but he didn't contest it either. He nodded and turned to leave immediately. “I will go with him,” I said. “No,” Brisk said firmly. “Only staff members are allowed to enter the security office and check the security feed. It is a rule, Harlow knows that very well too. If you check the CCTV feed as a contestant, you might end up seeing things about others that could have been kept a secret.” “We can make an exception this time around,” Harlow said calmly. “Take her with you, Brisk.” “No. Rules are rules,” Brisk replied firmly. “That wasn't an opinion, it was an order,” Harlow said, staring at him sternly. Brisk turned to her fully and stared back at her without flinching. I could sense a power tussle between them. “Come to think of it, the only person I take orders from is Director Vress. You don't have the right to order me around, Harlow,” Brisk told her confidently. “I will check the feed not

FROZEN

Connie's POV Harlow didn't believe me at first but she had no choice but to come with me. She thought I was crazy and that the best thing to do was to let me have my way so I could finally come back with them to the house. I led the way, of course, and was followed by Harlow and two security guards. She had sent the third back to the house to bring a car. “I must be crazy for coming with you here,” Harlow muttered. “Why would he come to train when he isn't even recovered yet and in this heavy snow?” I didn't reply. I started to look around and there he was, collapsed on the ice rink. I felt as if my legs had given out yet I still ran to him. It was Kyrian definitely but he was all covered by the snow. The security guards got there next and they worked on pulling him out. He was cold as ice himself and he didn't look like he was breathing. I started to cry and Harlow held me still while one of the security guards carried Kyrian on his back. We ran out and the guard who left to brin

OUT OF SIGHT, STILL IN MIND

Connie's POVI was driven back to the show house and from the tense mood that existed upon my entry, I knew they had all gotten the news. Everyone was in the living room and they stood up the moment I arrived. God forbid, it was as if someone had died. The cameras were on so I figured the viewers must already know. Hori came to me and hugged me tightly, patting me on the back. I held onto her too, fighting the tears. “Are you okay?” Hori asked. “I was so scared,” That was all I could say. “I thought he was going to die. Even now, he is unconscious. He might still die.” “He won't,” Hori reassured me. “He is in one of the best hospitals in the country right now and he will be treated well. He will be back here before you know it.” “Are you sure?” I asked, disengaging from the hug. “I am,” Hori replied. She looked at me intently and brushed my hair. “You look like you've gone through a lot. Let's get you to the clinic for a checkup.” “No, I'm fine,” I muttered. “A checkup won't h

ONE HOUSE

Callum Vress’s POV “How do you know that?” Connie asked. She wasn't trying to hide the anger squirming inside her and that was my goal from the onset. I derived pleasure from rilling her up. “Oh yes, how could I have known?” I played along with her. “Are you spying on us?” She asked, staring at me viciously. Then she added, “I know you have cameras everywhere but it is illegal to have them in our rooms. If you have been spying on us there by any chance, I will make sure–” “You don't have the power to do anything, Connie,” I cut in readily. “By the way, I am not acknowledging putting spy cameras in your rooms. I wouldn't do that, would I?” I started to laugh hysterically while Connie’s breathing got heavier. If she had her chance, she would probably tear me into pieces. I had done enough for today though, I shouldn't push her past that. “Get some rest, Connie. I will see you next time,” I touched her briefly on the shoulder. She flinched instantly, breathing harder than ever. Hor
