Chapter 5 After tidying up the penthouse , I headed out to meet Kate at the airport . My best friend was finally returning from her years managing tech startups in Singapore , and God , did I need her straight talking wisdom right now . We settled into a corner booth at Château Blue , the kind of upscale café where racing wives held their gossip sessions . Kate nearly knocked over her oat milk latte when I told her about my exit plan . Finally ! She threw her hands up in celebration . Adrian fucking Chase needs to learn that not everything can be bought and replaced like his precious cars . He had something real and treated it like a pit stop . Let him grow old with his trophies . Her outburst made me laugh for the first time in weeks . There was some truth in her anger . Kate leaned forward , stirring her coffee thoughtfully . But honestly ? I cant wait to see his face when youre gone . Perfect Control Freak is going to lose it . Remember that time at the Ferrari testing track ? I frowned , trying to recall . That Italian rookie driver was chatting you up by the paddock ? Kate pressed . Adrian was in the middle of a practice run , but the second he saw you two , his lap time went to shit . The look in his eyes … She shuddered . Pure ice . The whole pit crew felt the temperature drop . Next thing we knew , you were banned from track visits . I always thought he was embarrassed by me being there , I said quietly , remembering how Adrian had coldly informed me that the track was no place for distractions . Kate snorted . He was marking his territory like some alpha male bullshit . Trust me , hes so used to owning you , he doesnt even realize how possessive he is . It doesnt matter anymore , I sighed , watching the steam rise from my untouched cappuccino . Hell probably be relieved Im gone . One less complication in his perfectly curated life . Oh honey , Kate shook her head , you really dont see it , do you ? Adrian Chase might play the cool , detached champion for the cameras , but youre the only person whos ever gotten under his skin . When you leave … She smiled wickedly . Thats when the real race begins . 15:42 Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
