Years ago...
The car sped along the winding road, the hum of the engine the only sound filling the air. Yvonne gazed out the
window, her thoughts scattered and restless. Though she had been married for stime, her relationship with
Norton still felt distant, emotionally unfulfilled. They had to keep up appearances, especially when visiting
Edmond, Norton's grandpa—playing the part of a loving couple; otherwise, Edmond would be left worrying.
The thought of it, coupled with Norton’s constant refusal to let her work, only deepened Yvonne's frustration. It
made it harder for her to muster any genuine affection for him.
The sudden buzz of her phone disrupted her thoughts. Yvonne glanced at the screen, a smile forming as she
began to type a reply.
Suddenly, Norton's voice cut through the silence, laced with a hint of jealousy as his eyes flicked to her through
the rearview mirror. “You've been quite busy lately. | hardly see you around anymore.”

been?”
Norton's voice cut through the air, deep and laced with quiet but unmistakable irritation. “You've been pushing
boundaries lately. | expect you to fulfill your duties as my wife without giving my grandpa any cause for concern
at his age.”
Yvonne's smile faltered, her expression freezing. So, it wasn’t about her—it was all for Edmond. She had briefly
thought that Norton's concerns might be genuine, that he cared for her in sway. But now, she saw it for
what it truly was.
Her gaze dropped to her phone, though she refrained from responding immediately. A business card flashed on
the screen—an internationally renowned motorcycle racer. She had recently discovered a passion for riding and
racing, a thrilling hobby that filled the void left by Norton's restrictions. Since he wouldn't allow her to work, this
was her only escape. Otherwise, her days would slip into monotony.
Noticing her indifference, Norton's voice hardened. “Is it really so unbearable to visit my grandpa with me?”
Yvonne's response cquickly, almost too quickly, as she shook her head in mock surprise. “Of course not,
you're my patron now. | would never dare offend you.”
“Oh?” Norton's eyebrow quirked in slight surprise, though he didn’t press further. The car soon cto a stop
outside Edmond'’s residence. Norton stepped out first, tossing the keys to a waiting servant before walking
around to open the door for Yvonne. As she stepped out, he leaned in slightly, his voice a whisper. “So, you
wanted to work, huh? Let's see how you perform.”

Yvonne placed her hand delicately in his, stepping out of the car with grace. She slipped her arm through his and
whispered into his ear, her breath warm against his skin. “I'll make sure you're satisfied.”
