"I am sorry, I can't." His answer stunned everyone, viewers and the show offshoots.
Mia nodded and then looked at Kevin, the budding actor of their generation.
"Will you Kevin?"
He nodded with a smile. Kevin was under stardust company and he was a little familiar with Mia. To add up, he was sent here with a hidden motto to protect her by Mervin.
The task soon started and it was a strenuous one.
Mia and Kevin ended up as first and kelly with her partner lost just by a minute difference. While Ian and Isla were on the third.
"We will meet you guys in the dumping arena." Andrew and Alison left the place.
And the next scene of a lavish throne in the front with a platform on it's left and a small dice on the right uplifted the screen.
"And here we are, the interesting part of our show where a lot of schemes, pleads and heartbreaks would be seen." Andrew addressed the contests standing opposite to them in two rows.
Alison with a huge smile said,
"Let's welcome our first queen and her king."
Loud applauses were heard and Mia entered accompanied by Kevin. She was wearing a black sequin off-Shoulder gown and Kevin was in a dark blue suit glistening like a power couple.
"So, how does it feel to be our first Queen and King?" Andrew asked with a smile.
Mia just shrugged with a smile looking cute yet elegant and Kevin answered,
"Great."
"Ria, since you have won the warm-up task you have a special power but that would be addressed once you guys dump a pair."
Alison looked at the contestants and smirked.
"Before we get there, Ria everyone is actually curious about your decision. Wanna explain?" Andrew asked as he was the most curious of all.
"You mean, asking Alex?"
The hosting couple nodded in unison.
"To be honest it was just an attraction. I was attracted at first so I dared to take such a bold decision." Everyone smiled. She was straightforward gaining a plus point in everyone's heart.
"But was it worth?" Alison asked clinging to her husband's shoulder.
"It was actually," Ria looked at Alex and camera turned towards him.
"He actually approached me and apologized once again. He had given his word to that girl so he had to reject me." Ria pointed towards Isla and the camera turned towards her. Anger and frustration were written all over her face.
With a smile, Ria continued,
"But I was happy with my decision as his performance was on par with Kevin."
Andrew and Alison looked at each other and smiled.
"Let's Ask Isla about this." Andrew looked at her and Alison continued his words,
"What do you think Isla?"
With a huff, Isla looked at Ria and said,
"She is just a *****"
Every single contestant gasped and even the hosts widened their eyes.
The word was muted for the viewers to run their imagination wild.
The camera then turned towards Ria who was as calm as a lake. Kevin held her hand and she just nodded with a smile.
"Let's get back to the job." Andrew cleared the air with a sigh.
He was glad at Ria's reaction and Alison just started adoring the girl.
"So Riya and Kevin who are you gonna dump?" Andrew asked.
"Anyone wanna pitch?" Alison looked at the contestants.
Many raised their hands and it was again cut a bit up to kelly's pitch.
"I know I might sound weird but I have started feeling for Kevin."
Riya smiled and Kevin pinched his ear with a grin.
"What? This is surprising." Alison faked a gasp and everyone chuckled.
It was much evident that Kevin and Kelly have already started connecting with each other.
"But Riya, he is your king right now." Andrew looked at the smiling Princess.
"He has always been her King." Her statement surprised everyone.
"Kevin himself approached me this morning to pick him in the task." This confused everyone including Kelly.
"Her neck is spasmed and she was running down with fever since the day we all came here, so he came to me, convinced me to perform with him and save her."
"This is just quite amazing." Andrew smiled.
"And to add up, Mr Kevin and Miss Kelly are under the same company." Ria smiled surprising everyone.
"Ohh, so this isn't just one-day attraction." Alison and Andrew chuckled.
"Decision Time."
"I actually wanna have a talk with Alex." Crossing her legs, she looked at Alex stunned just like everyone else.
"From all your acts, it seems more like you are here just for her. As if you have been dragged in this show by her, to be precise."
He just shrugged and Isla glared at Ria.
"I know you don't mind even if I dump you today. But, "
The viewers moved a little forward curious just like everyone on the show.
"I wanna dump her."
"Hehe, this is getting interesting."
Andrew rubbed his palms in excitement so did Noah and Kiara.
"I would spare her only if you are willing to perform every single task with me."
Alison controlled her chuckle at her wicked words.
"She isn't just a cute kitten, she is badass Queen." She whispered to which Andrew nodded with a smile.
"As she said I am ***** and I need to behave like that, Right?" Ria blinked innocently.
"Such an awesome face slap."
Even Felix commented and Isla was embarrassed to death.
Everyone in the room would have already guessed the muted word and she knew her Pride was going to drip down.
"She came here to win and being kicked out on the first day itself, tch tch she belongs to the wealthy, prestigious Margaret family and their reputation would be tch tch." Ria shook her head in distress.
"Hahaha, oops I am sorry." Alison covered her mouth so did most of the girls standing beside Isla.
"I am ready." His words echoed and she grinned.
They dumped a pair and now it was time for her special power.
"So Ria your power is that you can dump any girl from the remaining eight." Andrew said buttoning his coat.
The girls gasped in surprise so did the guys.
"Anyone wanna pitch now?" Alison looked at the guys and few nodded.
"You know I am **** so I wanna dump Isla."
"ugh ugh ugh."
Kiara split her drink. Mia was really a badass queen.
