The moment my words fell, two journalists carrying cameras appeared at the entrance of the alley.
Flashbulbs flared to life.

My bloodstained white dress, now marred with dark patches.
My mangled arm, raw and exposed.
My reddened eyes, tears slipping down, one by one.
“What the hell is going on?”
It finally dawned on Nicholas that he had walked straight into my trap.
His expression darkened.
“I’m from the Scott family. This is a personal matter. If you know what’s good for you, turn around and walk away. Unless you want your careers ruined.“.
At his words, the journalists hesitated, lowering their cameras.
Nicholas smirked, thinking his threat had worked.

Every head turned as I shoved the door open and stumbled out, covered in blood.
All eyes widened in shock.

I steadied myself and turned, locking onto the fiery red sports car that had skidded to a stop behind us.
“Nicholas. Scott.”
I spat out his name, sharp and deliberate.
“You think being from the Scott family, the so–called golden boy of the elite circle, gives you the right to stop me from taking this exam?
“Even if you break my arm, even if I’m barely breathing, I will crawl into that hall if I have to and turn in my test.”
