Chapter 379: A little help doesn’t hurt

"And now the numbers 33 and 67 are on the third and fourth spot. What do you guys think? With the speed they are moving ahead, it looks like number 33 will be in the second position soon, taking Raven down already," the host announced, and Vincenzo looked at the upcoming steep path.

"Damn it! Has she lost her mind?!" Vincenzo, who had started to smoke a cigar in his anxiousness, threw away his smoke, and everyone looked at Vincenzo in surprise as he went to the ropeway which was leading to the other side of the hill where the race was about to end.

"What has gotten his knickers twisted? He doesn’t lose his temper like that? And who was he talking about?" Prince Santo asked no one in particular. Everyone shrugged, completely unaware of anything going on with him.

"Who knows? His behavior has started to become quite unpredictable these days," Prince Stephano said, his gaze flickering to the screen.

His eyes narrowed. Was one of those two racers a woman? And did Vincenzo know any such woman?

This was quite surprising. His silent and neutral brother who doesn’t like to interact with anyone was having so many relationships outside that no one knew about.

First, his obsession with Sebastian’s human wife’s safety, and now this new girl? Prince Stephano sighed and stood from his place.

Meanwhile, Elliana accelerated the bike even more when she looked at the steep path. The urge to win the race started seeping inside her and her breathing accelerated with the bike’s speed.

Everyone would be slowing at this point and this was her plus point. She has done many such stunts in the past.

Overconfidence was running in her veins.

She knew it was risky because this area was the highest cliff, and if she fell from there, there was no way she would survive. All the racers she competed with were not that professional or tough either.

So it was quite easy in the past.

This race was harder than she had thought.

If she didn’t take this risk, there was no way she would win the race even if she sped the bike beyond its speed limit and over the meter. This Kevin guy was really good.

’A good for nothing like you can’t do anything. You are nothing but a scumbag, a useless slut we are using for our benefit. How dare you look up to us? Bow your head down, you stupid bitch! Dig a hole and bury yourself in it. No one wants you to live,’

"Fuck you all!" Elliana roared before she lifted her body slightly and accelerated the bike, making everyone gasp.

"The hell is wrong with number 33? Does that person have a death wish? This steep turn is one of the deadliest and we have lost 6 racers to this turn already. Are they planning to die?" The host asked, and the audience quietened, everyone holding their breaths as they looked at the contestant.

Elliana turned her body and leaned more towards the right side to skate her bike a few meters before the turn to handle the momentum as there was another turn just after it, in the opposite direction, and it was important to gain control or the chances of falling down the cliff were as high as 95%.

Everything was planned and calculated in her head, and she thought she would be able to pull it off, but her eyes widened when her handles shook.

Right. She didn’t check her bike before starting today and it has been left unmoving for more than a month already.

Everyone’s eyes widened.

Dexter’s heart nearly jumped out of his mouth when he saw the small blunder and her bike skating forward toward the end of the edge.

The bike wasn’t supposed to lean so much!

She was losing control and -

"Glory!" Dexter shouted in horror, the bikes starting to slow down as they thought they were going to witness another death today.

And judging from the man’s voice, it looked like it was a woman this time.

Kevin, who was riding ahead of all also slowed down and turned around to see what was happening.

"Damn it. This is bad. I am going to die if I lose it," Elliana closed her eyes, realization dawning upon her and she pushed her body towards the other side to try to get the bike in control and at the right angle, but the bike shook again and fell to the right side, her heart increasing its pace because of the adrenaline rush.

Her body was too weak to be able to pick the bike like this. She gulped.

Elliana closed her eyes, finally accepting her fate.

’Today I will free myself from these miseries,’ her own words reverberated in her head when she had thought of severing ties with her family when she asked Lucas and Sebastian to take her away from the palace.

But who would’ve thought that to free herself from all those miseries, she would’ve to lose her life too?

It all came down to anger.

Winning like this was never in her plans. She wanted to race for sure, and she had told Dexter and Samantha she would win, but it wasn’t supposed to be at the cost of her life.

Mr. Marino -

The man trusted her so much and look at what she did. She couldn’t even reveal the truth to him and was dying like this.

A tear slipped from the corner of Elliana’s eyes.

It all happened in 5 seconds. Those flashbacks, thoughts everything passed through her head before she took a deep breath.

’No. I can’t die like this. Not before these 23 days. I can’t. This is my last hope at love. I can’t,’ Elliana chanted in her head.

’You are the devil’s possession, Princess. Your breath, heartbeat, life, soul, everything belongs to me. So you better do things accordingly,’ She remembered Mr. Marino’s words and another tear of hope slipped her eyes.

"I can’t die!" Elliana shouted, tightening her grip on the handle of the bike before she kicked the side of her bike, unsure what she was doing, and to her surprise, the bike suddenly started to lift towards the left on its own.

"Glory! Get a grip! You can do it!" Dexter shouted, wanting to cheer her up.

Everyone looked at the scene in horror. There was no way the person would be able to save themselves from this kind of fall.

’As if we are going to let you die,’ Elliana heard her powers, and she saw a transparent fictional ice forming towards the edge of the road, which gave her enough space to slide her bike’s back tire on it and let her gain the control she was losing.

Just a few inches, that’s all she had needed to not fall down the cliff, and her powers very well provided her that.
