Aurora's POV
Two days later, the combat tournament that Lilith and I had been eagerly anticipating finally arrived.
My parents were already waiting in the stands, looking far more nervous than I felt. Linda suggested she accompany me to the waiting room to prevent their anxiety from affecting me.
We bumped into Anna in the hallway. She was dressed to kill in a figure-hugging suit that showed off her curves, her wavy hair loose around her shoulders, and her makeup perfectly done. Clearly, she'd gone all out solely to witness my downfall in the wager.
"I'm really looking forward to seeing you fall flat on your face out there today," Anna said, a triumphant smirk curving her lips. "Then you'll pathetically kneel and beg me to let you off our bet. That would be incredibly amusing."
