After the fight, Daria was taken away but not before I saw she was alive and okay. Finn escorted me to the private dressing room, and I went straight into the shower. Daria’s blood was all over me, and I wanted it off.

Closing my eyes, I let the hot water rain over me. I could hear people talking outside the bathroom door, but it was muffled.

“Reagan?” I could see Annika’s silhouette through the smoky shower door.

“Yeah?” I replied.

She opened the shower door and handed me a small bottle of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. “I got these for you.”

After taking them from her, I washed my hair and body. “Thanks.”

Annika tapped on the shower door. “Oh, and I have my makeup bag and a hair dryer. My cousin Mary is going to help me get you ready.”

I didn’t care about how I looked, but I could use the help to hide the black eye I knew was forming on my face. “Thanks again,” I said. “I’ll be out in a minute.”

While I cleaned up, my thoughts strayed to Daria. She deserved what she got, and I had no remorse for the beating I put on her. Would it make her change her ways? Definitely not, but hopefully, it brought her down a notch. She might’ve been able to get away with fighting dirty with other people, but not with me.

Once I was done, I hopped out and there was a large black towel hanging on the rack; I wrapped it around my body. The bathroom was larger than my apartment bedroom and much nicer with its elegant fixtures and black and white marble floors. Nikolai and his family went all out in their underground fighting arena.

I listened at the door to see who was in the room, but all I could hear was Annika and another woman. Slowly, I opened the door and Annika raced over to me, pulling me out of the bathroom.

“Come on,” Annika squealed excitedly. “I have to get you ready. Everyone’s dying to see you.”

The high from the fight had left me. What I dreaded was what awaited me when I got home. It might not be tonight, but as sure as the sun rose in the morning, I’d have to face Braden. I had no doubt there would be a gazillion missed calls on my phone. Braden was going to have many questions, and I had no clue how I would answer them.

The other woman Annika said was her cousin Mary smiled at me and held out my red dress, bra and underwear. She appeared to be around my age, probably late twenties, with caramel brown hair and wide brown eyes, and was dressed in an emerald-green cocktail dress.

“As soon as you get dressed, I’ll work on your hair,” she said.

Letting the towel fall to the floor, I didn’t care that I was naked in front of them. I slipped on my underwear and bra before putting on my dress. Annika guided me to the couch, where she had all her makeup on a small table.
