He chuckles instead, pulling me closer, and says, “You were out for thirty minute sunshine. Don’t worry. They’re not starting until the next two hours, so you can have enough time to rehearse.”
“Oh.” I heave a sigh of relief, resting against him, as he wraps his arms around me again.
“You ready?”
“Yeah. I needed that nap.”
“I know, baby. Now, you’re gonna go crush it.”
We got out of the car a few minutes later, but before we could even get far, the reporters rushed towards us with their cameras and microphones.
“Sloane Bishops, it is said that you’ll be the one representing your school today. How confident are you about winning this national competition today?”
One of them asks.
Lucien squeezes my palm softly, and all of a sudden, it’s as though my strength returns to me, so I answer. “Great, and confident, to be honest. I’m sure with
everyone’s support, I can get this done and make the school proud.”
“You’re a scholarship student, and it’s rumored that you and the heir to the Ravenscroft wealth are in a romantic relationship.” One man asks, and all of a
sudden, the feeling of dread returns. “How sure are you that you are not with him for his wealth and power. Especially since you do not come from wealth
yourself?”
“I think we should focus on the reason we’re here today. And it is to see my wonderful girlfriend be the best at what she does. So, how about we keep the
questions related to that?”
“Well, you must be the infamous Lucien Ravenscroft. How do you feel about dating a girl like Sloane? Unfortunate, yeah?” He asks, with a weird smirk on his
lips.
Lucien turns to him sharply, his eyes lighting up with anger. But before he can lash out at the guy, I squeeze his hand in warning. I don’t know how the
cameras would make that seem, especially for something internationally viewed.
At my signal, Lucien smiles and clicks a finger. Next thing I know, the reporter is lifted by a hefty man and carried off the property.
“Anyone else wanna ask ridiculous questions?”
It’s dead fucking silent, as they all stare at each other uncomfortably. “That’s wh I thought,” Lucien says, his voice booming. “We’re here for a debate, let’s
keep it about that. This isn’t a celebrity award show, so there’s no need for stupi questions.”
With that, he pulls me away from there, walking me into school and out of reach from the reporters.
My heart rate spikes again, and the need to be alone for some air has me pulling way from Lucien. “I need to use the bathroom.”
I don’t wait for him to respond before taking off in that direction.
Pushing the door open, I rush into the bathroom and fall to my knees immediat
“It’s gonna be okay, Sloane.” I wheezed, trying to calm myself down. “You’re gon win. You always win things like this…so it’s okay.”
“Oh look, it’s pathetic little Sloane.” Roxanne’s voice calls from behind me, steel my spine and forcing me up.

Chapter 114
“What do you want, Roxanne?” I asked, staring at her through the mirror.
“To make sure you never win.” Before I could say anything else, I felt a harsh swing, and then;
Pain.
It registered on the back of my head, forcing me to my knees, as I felt the slow trickle of blood down my neck.
“Let’s see you shine now, scholarship trash.”
All I could hear was the lock of the bathroom door, before the darkness filled my vision.
