Dorian

The same hand she slapped me with then, I put forth the idea of us fake dating is the same one she’s currently dabbing my suit pants with. When she realised and looked up at me, her lips parted and her eyes wide with shock; I was almost undone by it alone.

Choosing to fake date her was going to be a mistake—if she agreed. I don’t know how I’m going to act like she’s mine and keep myself in check.

Nora Holt had me wrapped around her finger, and it killed me that she had no idea. It killed

    Nora“I’m her ex-husband, sir. The talented racer you were about to sponsor.” He walked closer, feeling confident. “I know she has told you a lot of lies. She had been bitter about our divorce, and she simply wouldn’t let things be. She is hellbent on destroying me.”Jason Tumbledore glanced at me, then Cora, then back to Caden. A smile graced his lips. “I see.”Caden beamed, feeling triumphant. Then Rory butted in, wanting to take some credit for speaking up for her lover.“Mr. Tumbledore. I know how much you value talent. I mean… your whole family is a good representation of the word. Deciding to cancel Caden’s sponsorship might be a mistake, especially based on a nobody housewife’s words.”“Oh, really?”“Of course! I’m his racing partner, and I can vouch for his conduct.” She said, adjusting her bob before brightening her smile. “Besides, won’t it be amazing to sponsor a racer who is about to win the Hatridge Awards?”Everyone was silent, and from the corner of my eye, I could see

    My knees were weak when we finally broke the kiss, and in the midst of wondering what bold spirit overtook my reasoning and led me to kiss him, Rory arrived at the laundromat.She assessed the scene with a small smirk on her lips and laced her hand around Cadens, oblivious to his current anger.Then, as she leaned in to whisper in his ear, he shrugged her off, pointing his index finger at me like he always did when he wanted to scold me back when we were married.He opened and closed his mouth like a fish, but no words came out of it. Just as I thought.Caden was impulsive, but he wasn’t stupid. He still needed the good image if he was going to try to get back the Tumbledore sponsorship. With a deep, menacing scowl, he turned and left the laundromat, Rory scurrying behind him.He didn’t look back, so he didn’t know to slow down so she could catch up with him. Though I don’t think he would have stopped either way.Dorian and I returned to the engagement party, and I slipped into my sea

I don’t know how I’m going to act like she’s mine and keep myself in check.Nora Holt had me wrapped around her finger, and it killed me that she had no idea. It killed me that she only saw me as an irresponsible playboy. It killed me that she chose Caden, and even more, that I could’ve stopped them from getting married.But I chose to lie to her that morning so she wouldn’t eat herself up out of guilt and shame.My eyes searched hers as she tried to mouth an apology. The engagement party happening is lost on me, and all I can wonder is if somehow in the past five years, she remembered that night.“I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to.” She closed her eyes, cursing

  • Racing Hearts: Reborn for Revenge   24 — What A Surprise

    NoraWe turned to face her, and of course, but at the same time, for fuck’s sake! She was with Caden. The man was like a plague. Hard to avoid.Cora’s hands tightened around my arm and her eyes turned to slits. She glared at him, not bothering to hide the storm of anger on her beautiful face.“I’m sure it’s not us you’re referring to.” Her tone was clipped, daring Rory to overstep her boundaries. The boundary of class is one I’d always been fascinated by. As humble as I tried to be, there was no denying that when two people of different classes were standing in the same room, they were still standing in two different worlds, separated by a certain boundary.A boundary I shouldn’t have crossed when I met Caden. Lesson learned anyway.Rory scoffed, using a manicured finger to move the chunk of hair that fell on her face from her blowout bob. She was so pretty. If only her looks mirrored her insides.“I’m sure you’re not stupid or blind.” Her arm around Caden’s moved upwards and tightene

  • Racing Hearts: Reborn for Revenge   23 — Back To Luxury

    NoraDuring my childhood, Cora Bennett was like the sister I never had. The Benetts were family friends; however, my relationship with them faded when I married Caden.Seeing her standing here in front of me, all smiles and mischief, makes me realise how much of my life Caden stole from me. I reduced myself to ashes while he took me for granted and used me to climb to the top.I was stunned. Her brother, Jake, was getting engaged, and I only came to know on the day of the engagement. A small, guilty type of sadness filled my chest. Would I have been invited if I was still married to Caden?The answer came flooding my mind, and I honestly couldn’t blame them. Caden had been so against me going out through the first two years of our marriage. His reasons were either due to jealousy or Zara’s health and well-being.To satisfy him, I cancelled one too many invitations to hangouts and important events to the point where they stopped inviting me altogether. And when my father died, I couldn

  • Racing Hearts: Reborn for Revenge   22 — Get Ready

    NoraThe media twisted the narrative. Several headlines painted me as the bad guy, but some also focused on Dorian and Caden.I switched off my phone after I saw the third news notification. The last thing I wanted was to have to deal with a scandal that could’ve been avoided.I wondered if Caden just happened to be there, or if he knew I was going to be at the mall. I settled for the latter, since me being at the mall wasn’t exactly planned.But what worried me the most was the package I saw at my door. I would probably put it to my private investigator when I meet him tomorrow.Zara slept off quickly, having been worn out by all the fun she had at the mall. After I tucked her in, I went ahead to sort out the things in the boxes and arranged my new racing gear into my new training bag.All these years, I packed Caden’s bag, but from now on, I’d pack mine. I’ll do everything for myself and put myself first, just like I promised fate I would before it decided to give me a second chance
