Chapter 12

作者: Alyssa J
Three months later.

Alone, with my new helmet, I came to the starting line of the Isle of Man TT.

Without a flicker of hesitation, I hit the gas.

The wind screamed past my ears, the raw speed driving my adrenaline straight up.

This course I'd once held as both faith and wound, I finally conquered it, on my own.

I pulled to a clean stop at the finish line, lifted my helmet, and met the biting sea wind.

It turned out that even without the person who'd sworn to ride beside me, the view here still s

    Three months later.Alone, with my new helmet, I came to the starting line of the Isle of Man TT.Without a flicker of hesitation, I hit the gas.The wind screamed past my ears, the raw speed driving my adrenaline straight up.This course I'd once held as both faith and wound, I finally conquered it, on my own.I pulled to a clean stop at the finish line, lifted my helmet, and met the biting sea wind.It turned out that even without the person who'd sworn to ride beside me, the view here still set my blood roaring.My phone buzzed. It was Hunter Holt."How's the wind?"I smiled."Strong. But free."He replied fast."Next time, together."I sat on the bike, looking at the words on the screen, and didn't answer right away.I opened social media and posted a solo shot a staff member had taken for me.In the photo, I held my helmet, standing under the finish-line marker, my eyes proud and certain.The caption was one word."Apex."It had barely posted when Sophie liked it instantly."My qu

    Hunter Holt's mentor was filming his retirement tribute, and as a special guest, I spent the whole day helping out.Watching the old coach in his original first-generation racing suit, his wife beside him with the same head of white hair and eyes full of love, I lifted the camera and felt my throat tighten without warning.Hunter Holt appeared at my side at some point and handed me a tissue."Wind's kicking up dust."I covered the move and dabbed at the corner of my eye, sighing."The two of them really do love each other."When the filming wrapped, the coach's wife took my hand warmly and wouldn't let go.She glanced at Hunter Holt a little ways off and smiled, a knowing curve to her mouth, then announced it to the room."Sara, you have no idea. The passenger seat of our Hunter's precious off-roader? Thirty-some years, and he's never let a single woman sit in it. You're the first."I froze.Hunter Holt's ears went red at a visible rate, and he tried to change the subject."Don't tell

    I was reviewing data in the Apex Racing lounge when security led in a woman shaking like a leaf.I looked up. It was Daisy.She wore a pilled old sweater, an unhealed scrape across her face, none of the fresh innocence from the day we met.The moment she saw me, she dropped to her knees with a thud."Mrs. Black. I was wrong. Please, forgive me."I frowned, had someone pull her up, and took her to an empty meeting room.The second the door shut, she broke into wailing sobs.She poured out how, after the team went under, Ethan dumped all the blame on her.Not only did he beat her, he forced her to drink with greasy sponsors to help pay off the debt.Slap. Slap.She struck herself across the face, twice, hard, gasping between sobs."It's all my fault. I never should have been greedy. I never should have taken your place."I watched her performance with cold eyes, growing impatient."What you got wrong wasn't liking rich men."I cut her off. She froze, looking up at me through her tears."

    "Holy shit, Sara. Best news ever."Sophie shrieked into the phone, electric with glee."Ethan's garbage team just got dropped by their biggest engine supplier. Out of nowhere."I was studying track footage and didn't pay it much mind.Then Sophie dropped the real bomb."And get this, I dug around. That supplier got bought outright a couple of days ago by Hunter Holt's family group.""He's absolutely doing it for you. A man going to war over a woman."Listening to her, something quietly began to thaw deep in my chest.That evening, Ethan was suddenly waiting downstairs from my loft.He looked hollowed out, his eyes sunk deep, like he'd aged ten years overnight.He begged me to come to the old repair shop we used to go to, to see him one last time.I went, my face cold.He sat on the battered couch and opened a bottle of the cheap soda I used to love."Sara, we..."I cut him off, not even glancing at the soda."Say what you have to say."He clenched his jaw and finally got to the point.

    I used the money from my bought-out shares to rent a stripped-back, industrial-style loft near the racetrack.The living room was big enough for a full top-grade racing simulator.On moving day, my best friend Sophie showed up hauling two cases of beer.She sprawled across my beanbag chair and spent a solid hour cursing out Ethan's entire bloodline."That son of a bitch. He's a leech. He drained your talent and your blood dry to build his racing empire, then turned around and used everything you bled for to prop up that scheming little fake. He's lower than dirt."Sophie was so worked up her face went red.I cracked open a beer and pushed it into her hand, my voice even."The trash has been sorted and recycled. No point breathing in the smell anymore."Sophie took a long pull and slapped her thigh, exasperated with me."Your problem is you're too soft.""You should have bankrupted him. Put him on his knees begging in the street. Make him understand that without you, Sara, Ethan Black i

    I thought with a lawyer handling it, the divorce would go smoothly.I didn't expect Ethan to threaten to kill himself if I didn't come, calling me out to an abandoned underground garage.It was the same place we'd worked out of back when we were just starting.He stood there in that grease-stained old work uniform, eyes manic, showing off the car parked in the center of the garage.It was my first race car, the one I'd wrecked in competition years ago.He'd spent a fortune rebuilding it, an exact replica, down to the bolt."Sara, look. I fixed it."His eyes were bloodshot, his voice raw, like he was flaunting some priceless treasure."Get in and try it. Please. Let's go back to how we were."I stood five meters off, looking at him the way you'd look at a man who had lost his mind completely.When I didn't move, he dropped to his knees with a thud and tried to crawl over and wrap his arms around my legs."Sara, I was wrong. I was so wrong. I'll give up Redline Racing, I'll stop being Mr
