تسجيل الدخول~Graham~The prisoner, Ludrick, seemed determined not to say a word, and that's what brought us here.It had been almost a week of continuously torturing him without a single reaction from him.From the second day of his torture, I just knew he might never agree to give up the location of his leader unless he had something to lose.So, I sent out Radmon, my most trusted enforcer, in search of the prisoner's family.Since Ludrick was highly ranked in the Rebellion camp, we had no choice but to wait it out because the amount of information we could gather from a man like him was worth waiting for.With this year's F1 season gradually winding down, I needed to get everything in order. We were just two Grand Prix away from the end of the season, which meant my time was becoming increasingly limited.And it was beginning to affect the one thing I desperately wanted to make time for: my wife.I was supposed to be home with Catalina, enjoying the little things and giving her the attention sh
~Catalina~ Once again, Ethan was quick to position himself directly in Jeffery's path, making it clear that he wasn't allowed to go anywhere near our car. When it was time to go ahead and start his day, he reluctantly released my hand and turned towards me. Before leaving, he pulled me into his arms and kissed me thoroughly, right there in the open, with Jeffery watching from a distance. Then he left to start his day, after I made him promise to behave himself and avoid trouble with Jeffery. Senazo led me through the entrance, where our accreditation passes were checked before we were granted access to the paddock. Team personnel hurried between hospitality units, mechanics moved equipment around, and the distant roar of engines occasionally drowned out conversations. The final practice session gave the drivers one last opportunity to assess their cars and make any necessary adjustments before qualifying. Once practice ended, the atmosphere around the circuit grew incre
Graham and I spent the night in the massive king-sized bed of our hotel room. This was the first time I would be sharing a bed with my husband, and it wasn't what I expected. I expected tension, unease, awkwardness...instead, he had himself wrapped around me all through the night. Both his arms were wrapped around my stomach, pulling me closer against him as though he needed me there. I knew he could feel my back folds and flabby stomach against his hands, but he didn't seem to mind. Instead, his fingers moved in slow, absent-minded circles over my belly until he eventually drifted off to sleep. I couldn't sleep initially. I couldn't stop staring at him, taking in how completely at ease he seemed, sleeping so peacefully beside me. There was something incredibly reassuring about seeing him like that. It made me feel wanted in a way I wasn't accustomed to. Running a finger over his temple, I took in his features. He looked like a god in human form. Graham was unfai
Monaco turned out to be a beautiful sight for sore eyes. I've never been here before, and I honestly didn't know just how beautiful the city was. The scenery, the architecture, the sparkling coastline, and the magnificent buildings were enough to make me wish I arrived much earlier.But I've barely travelled anywhere in my life. There was always work to do. If I wasn't managing my store, I was busy working on something that would help push Jeffery's career forward. My life was practically revolving around him, making sure he had everything he needed to succeed.And that made me think of something.Perhaps, if Graham would allow me, I could contribute positively to his career too. I knew a thing or two about Formula One, and I wasn't exactly clueless when it came to the business side of things. Maybe I could be useful if he gave me the opportunity.Yet again, that wasn't why I agreed to this marriage.I had to keep reminding myself that.A delay at the airport made us arrive at t
Before leaving the house, I texted my store rep, Anna Witsow, to see if she was still free.Grabbing the envelope containing my store key, I drove my Kia to the store, feeling strangely relieved to be out of Graham's castle.I obviously can't refer to it as a house. That would be a big insult to the architect who built the masterpiece.And I don't feel like it's my home either. So, a castle it is.When I got to the store, Anna Witsow was already out front, waiting for me.She was beaming with happiness and rushed to hug me as I approached."You don't know what you just did for me, Catty. I have been thinking of what to do with my life." She told me as I pulled out the key and unlocked the padlocked door.I really needed to thank Graham for this at least. Although I'd need to tell him to stop prying into my personal life as well.But for this one, I needed to appreciate him."I'm glad you came back, Anna," I replied, pulling out the sealed sign from the entrance door."Are you kidding
It took a while to sink in that Graham had left me all by myself, again. After several moments of silence, I finally stood up and left the room, my resolve made as I went in search of some of the guest bedrooms he had shown me days ago. I went from room to room until I found a modest one that didn't feel like a royal manor. "Henceforth, this is going to be my bedroom," I said to myself as I checked out the portable room that, despite its modest size in comparison to the others, was still triple the size of my own room. Exhausted, I kicked off my shoes, crawled under the covers of the bed fully clothed, and fell into a deep sleep. ... "You are utterly breathtaking." A voice said, startling me. My heart skipped a beat. I jolted upright, taking in my surroundings, only to find someone who looked exactly like me... maybe my doppelganger, leaning against a pole, staring into nothingness. I was in an unknown place, surrounded by nothing but vast land, darkness, and flickerin
