Aria's POV
"Holy s**t!" I gasped as Claire's body hit the water with a massive splash.
She actually did it. She actually threw herself into the damn pool!
I glanced around frantically, confirming what I already knew—we were completely alone out here. Everyone was still inside enjoying their champagne and gossip while I was stuck in this absurd situation.
In the pool, Claire's flailing was becoming weaker by the second, her splashing growing fainter as she struggled.
Fuck. I'd been played.
This woman was absolutely shameless! She'd manipulated me perfectly, knowing exactly which buttons to push. I couldn't believe I'd fallen into her trap, but what choice did I have now?
I couldn't just watch someone drown right in front of me, even if she orchestrated this whole ridiculous scenario.
