DreameNovelV The last stretch was a road that cut through the middle of a forest. Not only were there collapsed trees, but it had just rained, and the ground was basically all mud.
In fact, Nadia was soon covered in mud as soon as she rode down the track, but she was experienced enough and switched tires beforehand.
Even so, she was barely able to cross the muddy track, and things were naturally a lot worse for the others.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey would not have raced on a troublestrack like this one if Nadia did not suddenly decide on it. In fact, the riders right after Nadia were thrown from their own bikes just as they reached the mud! The ones further behind naturally slowed down, rightfully worried that the swould happen to them.
Nheless, Nadia glanced at her speedometer just then, intent on going even faster.
She revved her bike, which was a fatal mistake, as her tires hit a puddle and splattered mud all over her helmet.
Losing all vision, her bike shot straight toward a towering tree.
The audience was horrified, while Sayna sprang to her feet, frowning in worry.
She knew very well that Nadia could win by just going steady, but herpetitiveness got the better of her! Nheless, Nadia's Kawasaki stopped just before it crashed into the tree. Strangely, it was as if a mysterious power had frozen her in place, as there was nothing in the way to slow her down.
Sayna sighed in relief and glanced at Frank—who else could have saved Nadia, after all? Still, this was good-it proved that Frank had a different opinion of Nadia.
Nheless, the other riders sped past Nadia after she stalled, and they soon had a winner.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, the winner was not celebrating-if anything, he appeared disappointed.
If Nadia had not pushed her luck, none of the riders could have won. Hence, every rider who reached the finish line took off their helmets, bowing their heads in respect.
Alda was really keen to diss Sayna just then. However, even she understood that Nadia would have won and so told Sayna, "I lost, and a bet's a bet. I promise too—" Sayna cut her short before she could finish. "Don't mock me, Ms. Ingram. I won't lie I'm no angel, but I'm far from a villain, and I'm not about to accept charity. I lost no matter what the reason, and that's final... I be honoring the bet!" en.kikistories And with that, she strode off.
Callie smirked, watching as she left. "I'm surprised that Ms. Quill is so honorable. Talk about a respectable rival... Don't you agree, Ms. Ingram?" Alda smiled but said nothing.
Respectable? Who did she think she was kidding? el If anything, Sayna's move was premeditated. Everyone knew what Frank was like when it cto fairness-if Sayna refused to concede, Nadia's place in Frank's heart would plummet! en.kikistories Still, it was none of Alda's business, and she was really not worried about Nadia as a rival.
"Shit!" Nadia cursed even as she pushed her bike out of the forest, slamming her helmet into the dirt in sheer frustration.
Sayna appeared just then, assuring her, "It's alright. You merely lost this round-we just have to win the next." Nadia glanced at the stands in turn. "What does he think?" Sayna shrugged. "Mr. Frankton has always been stoic and wouldn't show what he thinks! But I'm sure he admires you even if you didn't win, because you showed him you had an attitude." en.kikistories Nadia sighed in relief. "Good."
