Chapter 58:
Makenna’s POV:
It was well past midnight when the storm finally settled, and I made my way back to my house. Dragging my aching body through the motions of cleaning up, I collapsed onto my bed. Dominic, before leaving, had promised to come back, a smug smile playing on his lips. At the thought of this, I clenched my jaw in frustration.
“Bastard!” I vented my anger on the pillow, imagining it was his face. Just like Bryan, Dominic was nothing but a twisted pervert. Neither of them had an ounce of decency.
I tossed and turned, trying to calm the raging storm inside me. Eventually, I cooled down, and Alice’s earlier words echoed in my mind. My eyes grew cold as ice as the truth sank in. Kristina had set me up again. She was like a relentless shadow, always lurking, never letting go.
But I wasn’t without my own tricks. I couldn’t wait to see who would be left red-faced this time.
The next morning, I was up early. After breakfast, I headed toward the training. On the way, someone called out my name.
“Makenna!”
I turned to see Alice hurrying toward me. Her face was still clouded with worry as she asked, “Did anything happen after I left last night? Is everything okay?”
The memory of the previous night flashed in my mind, bringing a wave of awkwardness, especially since Alice and I had been separated by a mere door while Dominic was making love to me. I felt my cheeks heat up as I shook my head. “Nothing much. I just got dressed and headed home after a quick shower.”
Alice scrutinized my expression, and I couldn’t tell if she believed me.
Worried she might overthink and start connecting dots, I quickly changed the subject. “By the way, you mentioned Kristina and Molly were plotting to lock me in the bathroom. What exactly happened?”
Alice’s expression turned dark with anger at my words. “I saw Kristina and Molly sneaking around last night on my way back to my room,” she said indignantly. “Something felt off, so I followed them. That’s when I overheard their plan. They’re utterly despicable.”

I remained composed, a smile tugging at my lips. I couldn’t wait to see Kristina’s reaction to the little surprise I had in store for her today.
Alice’s voice cut through my thoughts, her tone still furious. “What are you going to do now, Makenna? Kristina is such a snake, always looking for ways to mess with you. She’s not going to let this go easily.”
Her concern caught me off guard, and I glanced at her in surprise. If my memory served me right, she hadn’t exactly been a fan of mine before. Yet here she was, worried about me, and last night she had even tried to help. It made me wonder if something had changed.
Sensing my gaze, Alice seemed to realize she might have overstepped. Her ears flushed red as she awkwardly explained, “Don’t get the wrong idea. I’m not worried about you or anything. I just… You helped me yesterday, so I thought I should return the favor.”
Her flustered explanation made me chuckle, and I patted her on the shoulder. “No need to worry. I’m not going to let Kristina push me around.”
Kristina had played her dirty tricks on me too many times. This time, I was ready to strike back.
With a mischievous smile, I motioned for Alice to follow. “Come on, let’s go watch the show unfold.”
