Chapter 568: Do it for her love
"Are you ready to get your ass beaten?" Charlotte stood in front of Elliana, a smirk plastered on her face as she looked at the girl, who didn’t look too sure about this battle anymore.
Elliana, on the other hand, felt a weird ache in her chest, a strange wariness settling in her heart. It was almost as if something bad was happening around her somewhere.
Her emotions were going haywire, and there was no control over them, which made it difficult for her to understand what was happening or concentrate on anything.
Her gaze moved to the audience, sitting on the sidelines on the bleachers to see the battle, her fists clenched by her side.
No one was there to cheer her up. Her eyes moistened a bit. She didn’t like this feeling of loneliness. It has been so long since she felt something like this. Mr. Marino never allowed her to feel alone. He was always there for her no matter what it was.
Elliana’s hand went to the locket on her chest instinctively.
Her mother had promised that someone would be there for her, but no one came. She wanted to complain, but could she really when everyone was working hard just to keep her alive?
"Student Charlotte, are you ready?" The host suddenly asked, and Charlotte nodded, her eyes brewing fire of anger because of how Elliana had been ignoring her since earlier.
She wanted to throw this girl down from her pedestal so badly that her fingers were starting to tremble from anticipation and excitement.
"Student Elliana, are you ready?" The host asked, and Elliana bit her lips nervously before nodding.
"Students, go to your respective cubicles you are supposed to fight from," The host announced.
