Narrating as Riley:

I am Emily's undercover agent, which is why when Paige told me she's pregnant, it didn't seem right to me that she wouldn't tell Mason. Both of them deserve to be happy. Due to an agreement with Emily, I can't say anything until we have concrete evidence. We can't alert Peyton about our investigation into her lies and her charade of loving Mason when the truth is she only loves his family's money.

I feel powerless. I can't go and tell Emily about the baby growing inside Paige's womb. I am loyal to the friendship I have with her.

On the other hand, my past is something I never thought would resurface in my present. I believed that was all behind me. I never expected to see Lucas again. When I left that country, I didn't think he would reenter my life. Luckily, he didn't say anything when we met. It still hurts to see him. The love I felt for him never went away, and neither did the pain in my heart. That's why I haven't been in a relationship all these years.
