Chapter 128:
Makenna’s POV:
I heard the footsteps outside the door grow louder, each step amplifying the fear that gnawed at my heart. They finally stopped, right in front of the room.
My pulse raced as I realized that whoever was out there was coming for me.
With the strange heat consuming my body, leaving my limbs weak and trembling, the horrifying thought crossed my mind—I had been drugged.
The wine I drank earlier flashed in my memory, and a dreadful realization hit me.
Was the wine spiked?
It suddenly made sense why Jessica had been so insistent on me drinking it.
But it was too late for regrets now. The sound of a key turning in the lock brought me back to the present, making my heart sink further.
I needed to get out of here, and fast!
Fighting the fog in my mind and the feverish heat in my body, I forced myself to move, frantically searching for anything that could serve as a weapon. But the room had been stripped bare, leaving nothing useful—nothing to defend myself with.
Panic clawed at me as the door swung open.
I spun around, terror gripping my heart, only to see a fat, drunken man standing in the doorway, a bottle of wine dangling from his hand. After a brief pause, he stumbled inside, his bleary eyes quickly locking onto me.
I recoiled, trying to back away, but there was nowhere to hide.
His eyes swept over me, and a lecherous grin spread across his face.
He leered at me, his voice thick with sleaze. “Well, well, where did this little beauty come from? How’d you end up here?”
His question made me wonder if he wasn’t the person Jessica had…
Desperately trying to stay calm, I replied, “I must have walked into the wrong room…”

I forced myself to move toward the door, but he blocked my path, his eyes gleaming with lust.
He let out a disgusting laugh. “If you walked into the wrong room, why not stay a while? I’ve never seen such a pretty woman like you before.”
“What do you mean by that?” I asked, my heart sinking as I instinctively stepped back, trying to warn him off. “I’m one of the princes’ women! Aren’t you afraid of offending them?”
“The prince’s woman?” he sneered, clearly not believing me. His voice dripped with arrogance as he declared, “Even if you were the king’s woman, I’d still have you tonight!”
And with that, he lunged at me.
“Ah! Don’t touch me!” I cried out, trying to dodge him, but my body was too weak, the effects of the drug too overpowering. He easily knocked me to the floor, and I screamed in terror.
“Don’t be scared, pretty,” he slurred, his breath reeking of alcohol as his fat hands groped at me. “Stick with me, and I’ll make sure you live the high life.”
“Fuck off! Get away from me!” I screamed, desperately trying to avoid his advances, the smell of his stale alcohol breath turning my stomach. I struggled, pushing against him with everything I had.
But he was too strong.
As I fought in vain, my hand brushed against something cold and hard on the floor.
In a flash, I realized it was the wine bottle he had brought in with him.
A surge of adrenaline cleared my mind. I gripped the bottle tightly and swung it as hard as I could at his head.
“Ah!” He screamed, clutching his head as he collapsed, his heavy body crashing to the floor with a loud thud.
Panting heavily, I managed to sit up, still clutching the bottle, my heart racing with fear and relief.
The man touched his head, and when he pulled his hand away, it was smeared with blood.
“Bitch!” he roared, his eyes blazing with fury. “I’ll kill you for this!”
He charged at me, blind with rage.
“Fuck off! Stay back!” With a look of defiance and desperation in my eyes, I brandished the bottle.
I was prepared to battle to the very end if necessary.
But this time, he was ready. He stepped outside of my swing, grabbed me by the hair, and gave me a forceful slap across the face.
“You bitch!” he spat, his fury escalating.
I fell to the floor, my head spinning and my ears ringing from the blow. I was unable to contain my agonized cries.
Not satisfied, he grabbed my collar, trying to tear my clothes off.
“I’ll make sure you regret this, you slut!”
The drug’s effects grew stronger, leaving me utterly helpless. Just as despair began to overwhelm me, the door suddenly burst open with a loud crash.
I twisted my head at the sound, my shocked eyes widening.
It was Dominic!
