Chapter 3 I found Adrian Chase half dead in a ditch off Alpine Road , his designer racing suit torn and bloody . The wreckage of his custom Ferrari was scattered across the mountainside a deliberate hit , Id later learn . When he finally opened his eyes three days later , they held no recognition , just raw fear and confusion . But he latched onto me like I was his only anchor in a storm . My mothers death and fathers remarriage had left me exiled to our old family cottage . Loneliness had been my only companion until Rain the name I gave him came into my life. He was endearingly helpless with everyday tasks , burning toast and shrinking sweaters . But something changed whenever he was near cars . His hands would instinctively caress their curves , his eyes lighting up at the sound of engines . I thought nothing of it most guys knew their way around cars , right ? Rain was gentle in a way that made my heart ache . Hed spend hours teaching me constellations , making up storie about each star . When he tattooed my name across his collarbone Riley in elegant script I gave him everything . That night , tangled in sheets and whispered promises , I finally understood what it meant to belong somewhere . For six perfect months , we lived in our bubble of morning kisses and lazy Sunday drives . Hed leave wildflowers on my pillow and dance with me in summer rain . Then came the day he remembered he was Adrian Chase F1 champion and heir to a racing empire . The change was instant and absolute . The soft smiles vanished , replaced by cold efficiency . His gentle touches became possessive grabs . Our cozy dinners turned into missed calls and empty apologies . While I heated up lonely microwave meals , gossip sites flooded with photos of him and Sophia Blake at exclusive restaurants . The racing worlds new power couple , they called them . She wore designer dresses and perfect makeup , everything I wasnt . I clung to the hope that his tattoo meant something that somewhere under Adrian Chases polished exterior , my Rain still existed . Until the day I noticed fresh bandages on his collarbone . The laser removal hadnt even healed when he was already posing shirtless with Sophia for Sports Illustrated . When I confronted him , Adrian didnt even look un from hi Chapter 3 Riley , Im not your precious Rain anymore . You dont get to question anything I do . If you want to keep your position , learn your place . Watching him walk away , reality finally hit me . The man I loved had died in that mountain crash . Adrian Chase was just wearing his face , racing through life in the fast lane while I stood frozen in the pit stop of our memories . I believe his love was real once , but I forgot that hearts change lanes as fast as racing cars . Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
