Chapter 38
Bella’s POV
35%
Neither Kai nor I were in the same group as Aria. We were both members the red helmet team.
When I spotted Aria walking through the crowd toward the forest, I couldn’t help but let a vicious expression cross my face.
I swore to myself: I’m definitely going to “kill” Aria in this game and humiliate her in front of everyone!
I turned to look at Kai, but noticed he seemed uncomfortable, almost… disappointed? No, I must be seeing things.
We were the last team to enter the forest. The teams had gone in order-be team, yellow team, then red team.
While I was mentally plotting how to deal with Aria, one of my followers walking beside me spoke up with a confident tone:
“Bella, you’ve got this! Show them what you can do!”
As if I were some world-class marksman or something.
But honestly, I just happened to enjoy shooting since I was a kid. Years of practice made me better than most students. If I actually competed
against real experts, I probably wouldn’t even qualify to carry their gear.
Still, in this moment, I nodded confidently: “Don’t worry, I’ve got it covered.”
I was determined: I would shine in this paintball competition! And once again, make Kai fall even deeper for me!
I noticed the way Kai looked at me-there was genuine admiration in his eyes for a brief moment.
I knew that’s why he’d fallen for me in the first place, even going so far as to humiliate that girl who had a crush on him-because of my
shooting skills.
Even though I’m a girl, I’m nothing like other teenage girls. While they’re all obsessed with dating, makeup, and fashion, I pursue something completely different.
What he loves is how I’m different from other girls!
“I believe in you, Bella, Kai said.
Hearing those words made my heart soar: “Thanks, babe,”
We gazed at each other lovingly.
Just as we were having this sweet moment, when nobody had noticed anything-
“BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!”
Five shots rang out suddenly!
I felt my helmet jolt. Before I could even process what was happening, I say Kai’s helmet, my three followers’ helmets, and… my own helmet all

Which mat e fine of us-who’d been so confident just moments age were now “dead” in this paintball game!
This all happened in a split second, too fast for Kai or me to even react
When I finally puncewed wither had happened, shock and horror flooded my expression as I looked toward where the shots had come from.
I saw a slender, graceful figure walking toward us
The girl who’d suddenly appeared had a cold, stunning expression, with hint of amusement playing at her lips.
After confirming that all five of our helmets had been hit with paint ronds, the girls mouth curved into a symbolic smile.
Light, contemptuous words followed
Five headshots. Five seconds. Game over.
The moment I recognized that the girl who di eliminated us was Amin, face twisted with rage!
Remembering how I’d mocked her with that smug expression just miinues ago, I felt like someone had slapped me across the face hundreds of
times!
ARIA!”
I spat out her name through clenched teeth.
Beside me, the three followers who’d been flattering me moments ago w stood there completely dumbfounded. They stared at Aria like she
was an alien, too shocked to form a single word!
And Kai himself was frozen in place, fear covering his entire body. He stared at Aria without moving, completely transfixed!
Even though we were in the dark, the moonlight was bright enough for me to see Kai’s expression chemi
From the moment Aria appeared, his eyes had been locked on her-he hadn’t looked at me even once!!
My plan to shine in front of everyone during this paintball competition was shattered. Now, even my boyfriend was being drawn excex by that
bitch Ana!
I always gotten everything I wanted-Ive never been humiliated like th
Rage and jealousy instantly consumed my rationality. Almost without thinking, I raised my paintball gun and started firing wildly an ATRECY
I couldn’t care less about maintaining my gentle goddess image anymore screaming like a lunatic:
YOU BITCH! I’m done with you! If I go down, you’re coming with me!
