Back at her dorm, Lemira couldn't shake off the incident at the gym earlier that day.

It was surprising to see Orion, usually so composed and aloof, losing his cool.

The way he threw punches was a far cry from his usual refined demeanor.

Could it be that Orion had secrets he wasn't telling?

The next day, Janice sent her a link: "Heard about this creep getting caught at the gym across from campus. Be extra careful if you're heading there, heard quite a few girls had run-ins with him." Clicking on the link, Lemira saw it was indeed about the incident from yesterday.

So, her hunch was right; that jerk had managed to prey on several girls, even going as far as harming them.

Just regular college girls, how could they stand a chance against a grown man, let alone a repeat offender?
