Chapter 45:
Makenna’s POV:
My heart lurched and plunged like a stone in a well as the memories of that night flashed through my mind. I stood frozen.
Even Kristina’s victorious grin seemed to falter. Alice, unable to contain herself, shrieked in terror.
“No! No! It was just a mishap.” Alice’s face drained of color. Desperately, she pleaded, “Your Highness, please, let me have another chance to compete. I swear I’ll win.”
“You’ve missed your shot,” Bryan said with a smirk. “I hope to see you scampering around the palace in the buff tomorrow. It would be quite the sight, Makenna. As for you…”
Bryan gave me a mischievous smile as he spoke. “I’ll honor my promise and give you the reward.” A shiver ran through me.
The last thing I wanted was his reward.
Alice’s face turned ashen as she fell to her knees. She clutched at the edge of his robe, begging, “Your Highness… Your Highness… Ouch!”
Bryan shoved her aside before she could finish.
“Get up!” he snapped, disgust evident in his voice. “Did I give you permission to touch me?”
With those harsh words, he turned his gaze toward me and strode over.
My heart sank lower. Just as I took a hesitant step back, he lifted me effortlessly and slung me over his shoulder.
“What do you want?” I shouted, pounding his back in panic. “You bastard! What are you planning? Where are you taking me?”
I fought against him with all my might, but his strength was overwhelming. My attempts to break free were futile.
He carried me out of the training area, and I silently hoped for someone to intervene and put a stop to his sinister intentions. Yet, whenever the servants saw us, they bowed their heads in fear. No one dared to challenge Bryan.

Desperation and anger welled up inside me as Bryan shoved me into his car.
Tossed into the back seat, I felt dizzy, but I tried to steady myself and make my way to the other door, hoping to escape.
Just as I managed to sit up, Bryan pressed me down.
His hot breath enveloped me as he wrapped an arm around my waist and asked with a mischievous smile, “What’s wrong? Don’t you want the reward?”
I glared at him, my voice trembling with fury. “What on earth do you want?”
Bryan’s laughter was dark and chilling. “Oh, I want you. I came here with the sole purpose of having you.”
His words ignited a blaze of anger in me. I wanted to hurl curses at him, but before I could, he captured my lips.
“Mmm… Hmm…”
Caught off guard, my lips were seized by his. I tried to bite him in retaliation, but he used the opportunity to deepen the kiss. He pressed his mouth to mine with a heated urgency that stole my breath. Meanwhile, his hands roamed restlessly over my body.
Resistance was futile. Bryan, still unsatisfied, lifted the hem of my blouse, his rough fingers trailing up my back. Soon, he unfastened my bra.
“Hmm… Let go of me!”
Panic surged as I struggled to push him away. But my efforts were in vain. The cool air hit me as he tore off my bra.
He cupped my breasts with his warm, calloused hands, pressing and rubbing them with crude force. Occasionally, he pinched my nipples, toying with them. Bryan’s movements were coarse yet practiced. His hands continued their relentless assault on my sensitive spots. As my body involuntarily softened, I became weaker and weaker, my struggles growing feeble.
My mind was a haze. I squinted at him, only to see him hunched over me, his palms braced on either side of my head, gazing at me as though I were a masterpiece.
As my reason began to return, I glared at him defiantly.
His smile widened at my reaction. “I’ve got some new toys lately. Let me show you.”
An ominous feeling gnawed at me. Before I could make a move, he shifted to the driver’s seat and slammed the gas pedal. The car roared to life, and we sped away.
