The Billionaire Racer I Kissed CHAPTER 126
The first thing Dr Bennett did was order everyone to stop asking questions in the corridor.The second was to make sure Matteo Devereaux disappeared before anyone realised he was still alive.Within minutes, a private medical transport had been arranged through the circuit's emergency services. Matteo would be taken to a hospital entrance away from the main media area, where security could prevent reporters from following them inside.The public already had a story.Matteo Devereaux had crashed during his final race. His car had caught fire. A body had been removed from the wreckage, and officials had refused to confirm the driver's identity.The media were filling the gaps with their own conclusions.Nobody needed to know that Matteo was alive. Not yet.Clara stood beside the locker-room bench while medical personnel carefully transferred him onto a stretcher. He had been examined by Dr Bennett, but his condition remained unstable, and the doctor was increasingly concerned by the wea

For several seconds, Clara couldn't move. She knelt beside the bench, staring at Matteo as though her eyes had betrayed her. Only moments ago, she had watched a body pulled from the burning wreckage of his car. She had believed she was watching the end of his life. She had cried until she could barely breathe.And now he was here. Alive."Matteo?"Her voice trembled as she reached for him.His face tightened, and a strained sound escaped his throat. He shifted slightly, one hand pressing against his abdomen.Clara immediately leaned closer. "Oh, God. You're hurt.""I'm..." He stopped, swallowing painfully. "I'm here."The words were barely audible.Clara let out a broken laugh that turned into a sob. She touched his cheek, then his shoulder, as if she needed to feel him beneath her hands to believe he was real."You're here," she repeated. "You're actually here."Matteo opened his eyes. They were unfocused at first, but when he recognised her, something in his expression softened."C

The first few laps passed without incident.Matteo held his position among the leading drivers, navigating the opening turns with the precision that had made him one of the most respected racers in the sport. His car moved cleanly through the corners, responding to each adjustment as he pushed forward.On the giant screens surrounding the circuit, his name remained near the top of the leaderboard.The crowd cheered whenever his car flashed past the main grandstand.Clara barely heard them. She stood with the Devereaux Racing team, her attention fixed on the screens. Every time Matteo's car entered a corner, her fingers tightened around one another. Every time it disappeared from view, she waited impatiently for it to reappear.Tara stood beside her, unusually quiet."He's doing well," Tara said after another lap.Clara nodded, but her eyes remained on the screen."He looks steady.""He does.""Then breathe, Clara.""I am breathing.""Not convincingly."Clara managed a weak smile. She

The first knock on Clara’s door came at seven fifteen in the morning. The second was followed by Tara’s voice.“Clara, if you’re still sleeping, I’m coming in to tell your boyfriend that you abandoned him on the day of his final race.”Clara closed her eyes briefly. Despite everything weighing on her chest, a small smile found its way to her lips. She crossed the sitting room and opened the door.Tara stood outside in fitted jeans, a white T-shirt, and oversized sunglasses pushed onto her head. She carried a handbag in one hand and two takeaway cups in the other.“Good morning to you too,” Clara said.“Good morning, girlfriend of a billionaire.” Tara walked past her. “I brought coffee. You can thank me later.”“You know you could have just called.”“And miss the opportunity to inspect your face for signs of heartbreak? Never.”Clara shut the door, shaking her head.Tara turned to study her. “Hmm. You look like you spent the entire night negotiating with God.”“Maybe I did.”“Did He ag

By the time Matteo was discharged from the hospital, Clara had learned that loving a stubborn man who mistook survival for surrender could be exhausting.He left with medical instructions, prescriptions, and a follow-up appointment his doctor had insisted on scheduling. He listened to every warning, asked questions about his medication, and promised to seek help if his symptoms worsened. He did not promise to withdraw from the final race.Three days later, with the competition less than forty-eight hours away, Devereaux Racing's headquarters was buzzing with activity. Engineers checked the cars, mechanics prepared equipment, and the communications team finalised the media schedule. Rival teams had arrived at the circuit, and journalists were already describing the championship's closing event as one of the most anticipated races of the season.Matteo's retirement announcement was expected to follow.The public knew nothing about his hospital admission, his neurological condition, or

“I intend to drive one last time before I retire, Clara. And nothing the doctor has said is going to change my mind.”For several seconds, Clara could only stare at him.Matteo lay against the raised hospital pillows, his face pale beneath the lights. An intravenous line ran into his arm, and exhaustion shadowed his eyes, but the stubborn set of his jaw remained unchanged.Even after collapsing in front of his team, even after hearing that his condition could kill him, he was determined to have the final word.“Then I suppose nothing I say matters either,” she replied.His expression shifted. “That isn't what I said.”“You didn't have to.” She rose from the chair beside his bed and walked toward the window. “You've decided what you're willing to risk, what you're willing to lose, and apparently, everyone else is expected to accept it.”“Clara, I'm not in the mood for an argument.”“Neither am I, Matteo. I'd rather be discussing your retirement announcement or arguing with you about so

Clara twisted her face, her brows met as she swerved into the next turn. The morning traffic was already irritating her, and that was before her phone vibrated.She glanced at the screen while slowing at a red light.Devereaux Franchise Team: Meeting confirmed for 9:00 a.m.Her brows knitted toget

Clara stayed frozen long after Matteo Devereaux walked out of her office.The door closed softly behind him, but the room still felt crowded, as if his presence had seeped into the walls and refused to leave. She stood beside her desk, one hand braced against the edge, the other hanging uselessly

The air in the boardroom changed the moment Matteo lifted his gaze.Clara felt it before she understood it. A tightening along her spine, a quiet pressure settling behind her ribs. Her body reacted faster than her mind, freezing mid-step just inside the doorway. For half a second, the room existed
The Billionaire Racer I Kissed CHAPTER 2
Clara’s hand fumbled across the nightstand, knocking into her phone twice before she managed to silence the alarm that had just woken her up. The room fell quiet again, but the echo lingered in her skull, sharp and insistent. She lay still for a moment, eyes closed, waiting for the familiar comfor
