All Chapters of Racing Hearts: Reborn for Revenge: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

NoraIf a pin dropped on that usually busy roadside, it would’ve been heard because of how loud the silence was. Cliché, but it’s true.Everyone went silent, the shock palpable on their faces. They couldn’t believe that their top racer would do something like that. But that’s probably the least despicable thing their top racer had done to me.Caden closed the distance between us and immediately grabbed my arm, shoving my body against his in a show of dominance, but I didn’t break eye contact with him.My chin was lifted, and I could see the storm of anger raging in those brown eyes that I used to adore and get lost in.“You better get in order right now, or I’ll actually divorce you.” He gritted his teeth as he spoke, and I couldn’t tell if it was out of anger or if it was a show for the people watching.I chuckled. His words were quite amusing. 'He’d 'actually divorce me?' That’s rich coming from someone I already divorced. I can’t wait for the judge to finalise it so I can be comp

NoraI woke up feeling more refreshed than I have felt in years. I think it had a lot to do with the message I got from Sean, my lawyer.— The judge has finalised the divorce. You are officially no longer Mrs. Ackley, and now, all the names on your official documents as per your request have been changed back to your maiden name. Nora Holt.“Mummy, why are you smiling so much?” I turned back to see Zara rubbing her eyes and trying to stifle a yawn. My smile widened, joy thoroughly filling the cracks in my heart.I’m free at long last.Scooting to her, I grabbed her by the waist and hoisted her on my lap. “Mummy is smiling because everything is going to get better from here.”“You mean with Dad?” She scrunched her nose and lowered her gaze to her fingers fiddling in her lap. “But… I don’t care anymore.”“Zara—”“Seriously, Mum! I am happy as long as I’m with you.” My eyes welled with tears, and I quickly blinked them back. It was sad, but it made things a lot better since Caden has prov

Nora“Symbols are powerful tools, sweetie. They can change how people react to certain things without using any words or doing too much. You’re the daughter of the best Racer in the country, and when the time comes for you to take his place, you’re gonna have a symbol to represent you. Just like we do.”“But what will my symbol be?” I asked, my voice tiny and carrying through the living room we were in. My eyes were set expectantly on Uncle Colton and my father, but instead of an answer, they offered me a smile, while Uncle Colton ruffled my hair and ruined my bun.I remember I had worked so hard on trying to make it perfect.“You could make it a shark!” Uncle Colton’s face was beaming so bright, and even though I didn’t like the idea, I matched his energy and beamed right back at him. “Really!?”My father interrupted him before he could give me any more bad ideas. “You’re only ten, Nora. You can figure it out when the time comes.” His gaze softened, and his lips stretched wider into

NoraImages of my time in the house—in my marriage with Caden— flashed through my mind as the car pulled out of the mansion gates, and I watched the house shrink in the side mirror until it was nothing but a speck behind the trees.I wondered if Caden was still standing in the driveway, and how he felt about the turn of things. I hated to admit it, but I still cared a little about what he thought.Detaching from him isn’t something I thought I’d ever have to do. Five years of marriage and seven years of devotion and love to a man who would stick a knife in my skull if it meant he was going to get more money, power or status.As I stared out the window, the road blurred into a mirage and a part of me wondered if he would regret any of it later, once the shock wore off and the reality of losing everything he took for granted finally settled in. Then again, men like Caden rarely regretted anything until it cost them something they actually cared about, and I doubted I had ever made that l

Nora“Dory?” I repeated as my brow shot up questioningly. I don’t know why it irked me that she called him that. I wanted to mock it, but really it wasn’t even my business. I had to call myself out on being a bitch.“Um… This lovely lady came to say, Hi," he replied, stretching his arm forward to point at me. She gave me a once-over before smiling and stretching her hand to me in a handshake. The movement sent the wind forward, and I caught a whiff of her cologne.She smelled like vanilla and saffron. It was such a delectable combination.I accepted her handshake with my free hand and offered her a smile.“Hi! I’m Michelle Stone. Dorian’s sister.” Her smile was cute and ethereal, and I just kept thinking about how stupid I was to misunderstand the situation and even get angry at him for it.Maybe I was a little jealous, but again, it didn’t make any sense. I hated that my emotions were all over the place. Mentally, I started calculating the dates and realised my period was near. It ha
