All Chapters of A Racing Heart : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I was thinking on how to coax Regina as I walked out of the room, pushing my dark hair away from my eyes. Regina was relatively easy to please. She just wanted something that looked nice and was expensive. The key to her anger disappearing was the money factor and fortunately for me, I didn't lack that.I would just promise to take her shopping. Like a collector, she made sure to buy clothes any where she went. Just wearable memorabilia.I spotted her figure up in a distance, after taking a deep breath I made my way over. When I got closer, I heard her let out a giggle and saw she wasn't alone. A tank top wearing guy – who was too tan for his own good in my opinion – was talking to her and she looked like she was hanging on to his every word.I cleared my throat "Am I interrupting something?" They both looked my way but I kept my eyes on the guy, who just raised an eyebrow at me."Oh, you are here" she looked annoyed by my apperance. "Sorry Chad, I've to go. My boyfriend's here for m

LILIAN JACKSONI was too eager and couldn't stop my feet from bouncing as I sat on the bed, waiting. I felt flutters in my heart as it began to race.I reached for my pills and downed them. Maybe this much excitement isn't meant for me. I decided to start looking for an outfit I could wear. I didn't know where we were going to so I was having a difficult time trying to pick out a dress.I chose to play safe with jeans and a cute top. I wore a coat over it and waited patiently for Nathan.At eight o'clock, the door bell rang. I grabbed my purse and made my way out. Nathan was leaning on the wall when I joined him outside. He was wearing jeans and a shirt also."Hey." I greeted."Hi. Are you ready?" He responded."Yes." He led the way to his car and I followed him. "May I ask where we are going?""Remember it's a surprise and even if I tell you, you do not know the place, so just trust me."I smirked, holding up my phone. "I could always research it, y'know?" "Ahh.. I almost forgot a

My emotions were all over the place that I couldn't help but shout at Byron. I was annoyed with his self-righteous attitude. He mentioned marriage, he can throw that word around all he wants. I don't give a damn.I was close to tears the entire night, replaying Nathan's stunned expression as he ran away from me.I kept checking my phone to see if he would reply to my text but he didn't.I cried myself to sleep, hoping I had not lost a friend.**I woke up with a massive headache but forced myself to get out of bed. Byron wasn't in the suite so I quickly dressed up and did all the things I wanted to do.A part of me hoped Nathan would return this morning, with a smile on his face ready to take me on a tour round the Maldives. I waited by the door, phone in hand, wishing and praying.The door was flung open and Byron came in. I stared at him for a few seconds before I spoke. "Good morning." "Morning." He replied. He went in and sat on the couch, phone in hand."I'm sorry." I apologized

"Do you hate me?" I looked at the man in front of me. His dark hair fell on his face, his hazel eyes shifting slightly, a bit panicked, his hands spread out to stop me. He staggered and I realized he was drunk. He was handsome, no doubt about that, but he was a stranger to me. At most an acquaintance.The corner of my lips raised slightly in amusement. "Hate. How could I hate you? That would be silly." He visibly calmed. "I just realized how little I mean to you and how little you think about my wellbeing." I spat."I just forgot. I wasn't trying to kill you or something." he apologized again."It's the fact that you forgot that makes me annoyed. I mean you are Byron Bladell for Pete's sake, the guy who runs background checks on people he just met. I don't expect you to have a photographic memory but I don't think you would have forgotten if you thought it was important." I angrily poked his chest."Your forgetfulness could have cost me my life. So excuse me if I'm a little angry."

Byron could be so sweet sometimes. I could tell he still felt guilty for almost killing me yesterday. When he brought up Subsix, I could only think about Nathan.I went to my room and soaked myself in the bathtub. I changed into the yoga clothes I had gotten the last time and went to the living room where Byron had set my food.I ate a few pancakes and flushed it down with a cup of hot chocolate.After eating, I made my way to where the class was to hold."Hi. Lilian right?" A lady I had met in the class asked. "Yes. How are you?""I'm pretty good. Where's your husband?" She asked."My husband? Do you know my husband?""Of course, you two came together the other day. You looked so lovely together.""That was my tour guide." I said as I noticed that she was referring to Nathan."Oh, I'm so sorry. Everyone assumed he was your husband with the way you two stared at each other. The ring on your finger is also a giveaway.""It's fine. I'm actually married but not to him." I responded, m
