Broad shoulders, long legs, a figure as upright as a pine-he moved with a natural authority, every gesture carrying the weight of presence. He was like an unsheathed sword: dangerous, yet noble in his restraint.

Sharon’s eyes flickered slightly.

It was Lex, the guy Uriah had introduced to her as a blind date, also the future heir of the Malcolm family.

He certainly looked the part-imposing, composed, with a powerful aura that commanded attention.

Sharon gave him a polite nod, but made no move to speak.

It was possible Lex had never seen her photo; initiating conversation would seem presumptuous.

Just as she was about to walk away, his voice stopped her.

“Sharon.”

She paused mid-step and looked up at him.

“You know me?”

Lex gazed down at her. “You’re Sharon McKinzie, Carter Biggs’s ex-wife. Your son’s name is Theo. You’re the daughter of

Richard Kalen.”

Sharon’s gaze settled on the man in front of her, her expression slowly cooling.

For some reason, a long-buried memory suddenly surfaced, something she’d thought she’d forgotten.

Back when Cole had gone out of his way to get close to her, he had briefly mentioned his family.

He’d said the person he admired most was his uncle.

Cole had mentioned that his uncle was practically invincible-capable of anything.

Cole’s dream was to become a racecar driver, and it was his uncle who had taught him how to drive.

At the time, Cole had casually mentioned that he thought his uncle would be a better match for Victoria.

When Sharon asked him why, he changed the subject and invited her to go racing instead.

Sharon had no real interest in racing. She didn’t even know how to drive competitively. But Cole kept urging her to try something new, insisting he could teach her.

Unable to decline his enthusiasm, she agreed.

After that, Cole began taking her along to race with his friends.

In the beginning, her lack of skill made her the target of constant mockery.

Though Cole always tried to shut them down, he couldn’t silence their scorn.

They behaved themselves when he was around, but once he was gone, their sneers only grew worse.

Some even said, “Why would Cole hang around with such a delicate woman? She can’t even race. Total embarrassment. If I were her, I’d crash into a wall and be done with it.”

Back then, Sharon had considered Cole a true friend. She didn’t want him to be ridiculed on her account, so she enrolled in a racing class.

The track that hosted the training sessions also rented out space, so she often ran into Cole’s group.

Each time, they took every opportunity to mock her, dripping with sarcasm.

They even compared her to Victoria, always to her disadvantage.

Sometimes they’d deliberately provoke her, challenging her to race.

A complete novice had no chance against seasoned racers.

Naturally, she lost-again and again.

And each time, their laughter only got louder.

They forgot or maybe didn’t care-that they were beating someone who had only just begun.

But about six months later, the laughter started to fade.

By the end, none of them dared mock her again.

Cole knew she’d been working hard and invited her to join an amateur racing competition. He even signed her up himself.

He told her Victoria would be competing too.

At the time, Cole had supposedly “cut ties” with Victoria, swearing he had to beat her.

Sharon didn’t say no.

She wasn’t interested in winning or losing-not with Victoria.

But between friends, a shared passion meant more opportunities to connect.

And yet…
