1.8 % Chapter 4 The reality show filming was scheduled for weekends , with the producers calling it a weekend couple experience . During the weekdays , I brushed myself off and returned to my old racing agency , wanting to get back to my work as a manager . Caspian and Vivienne are divorced , my former boss told me . Hes finally free from his ten year contract with Viviennes fathers company . Hes restructuring his studio , and I recommended you to him . I went to the lounge beside the private racetrack , following the address my old boss had given me , and met Caspian . His profile was backlit , making his features sharp and defined , radiating a mature charm . He definitely had a face made for the big screen . Just like on camera , he was still distant and aloof , giving off an unapproachable vibe . I waited outside the lounge for a long time , until his assistant came out , apologizing , So sorry , Daisy , looks uke Caspians not going to be able to squeeze you in today . On the drive home , my car broke down in the middle of nowhere . It was just past eleven at night , and it was raining . I stood by the side of the road under an umbrella , waiting for a tow truck . Cars kept passing by like . ghostly shadows in the night , and none of them offered to help . Just as I was starting to lose hope , a black SUV stopped in front of me . The window rolled down , and Caspians assistant leaned out , Daisy , why dont you get in ? Caspian was in the back seat wearing a baseball cap , hiding most of his face , seemingly asleep ! His breathing was shallow , and his long legs were slightly cramped , as though the car was a little too small for him . The car was cluttered , and there were two racing team jackets . There was a subtle scent of pine in the air , the same scent Id noticed when he touched my hand that day . Daisy , Im going to grab a bottle of water from the gas station ahead , do you want one ? the assistant asked quietly . The Ex Effect For My Top Tie T1 Driver call me Daisy , and Ill go with you , I said . oh , he waved me off , getting out of the car . Til just be a see ? The door closed , leaving me and Caspian alone in the car . No one else , and no cameras , The car headlights flickered weakly , casting a dim light inside . Even with the row of seats between us , I could feel the warmth of his breath , close as if it was in my ear . I stared at the convenience store across the way with its blue neon lights . The assistant was browsing the shelves , I suddenly remembered that time we were shopping when I saw a huge ad for Vivienne , and Id said to Jax , Shes really beautiful . He hadnt reacted much , just saying casually , Shes alright , I guess . I didnt know what that alright meant . Later I found out that Vivienne was his first love , someone he never got over , even after they split up during his career slump . But back then , hed just brushed it off , changing the subject . Sweetheart , you never dated anyone efore me , right ? hed asked . Id answered , No. At least , thats what I said to the world , and to Jax . Just then , a light pressure against my calf . His leg , stretching from the backseat , nudged me again , a deliberate , teasing rhythm . It wasnt accidental , it was a playful , almost taunting touch . I shifted my leg , moving it out of his reach , my body tense . I didnt acknowledge him , didnt turn . kept my gaze fixed ahead , pretending to ignore the jolt of awareness that shot through me . Daisy , he murmured , his voice rough edged , as though hed just woken . It held a hint of defiance , an almost carefree challenge . Long time no see . Why , after all these years , did he still say my name like that ? It pulled me back into that small , damp apartment , each time succumbing to the tide of his gentle yet overwhelming invasion … In "CEO's Wife with Many Identities" by CrushReel, follow the captivating journey of a protagonist striving to reclaim her grandfather's cherished heirlooms.
