The black race car blasted through a series of sharp turns, tilting so sharply it was almost at a 45-degree angle. The crowd went wild, cheering louder.
I gripped the railing, my palms sweaty. The flashing lights in front of me suddenly overlapped with old memories.
I used to race like that-flying down the track without a care.
Alice sighed. “If that accident hadn’t happened back then, you might be out on that track right now.”
I was zoning out when I spotted a tall figure in a dark gray suit on the VIP stand ahead.
He stood out even in the crowd. It was Samson.
Cody, his assistant, was next to him, reporting something quietly. Samson’s profile looked cold and sharp, but when the crowd cheered, he slightly turned his head.
Alarm bells rang in my head.
I reflexively reached for my bag, frantically pulled out the veil with trembling fingers, and quickly put it on.
After tying a hasty knot at the back of my head, I urgently tugged on Theo’s sleeve and whispered, “Don’t call my name. If anyone asks, call me Ms. Airel.”
“Huh? Why?” Theo was busy watching an intense overtake on the track. I startled him, and he subconsciously raised his voice. “Amanda, what are you doing?!”
“Shut up!” I covered his mouth, my heart nearly jumping out of my chest.
Too late. Theo’s loud voice grabbed everyone’s attention around us. Even Samson, who was talking to someone not far away, turned to look.
The moment our eyes met, time seemed to freeze.
Samson stopped in his tracks. The calm look in his eyes cracked. His gaze landed first on the veil covering my face, then on my hand gripping Theo’s sleeve. His brows furrowed imperceptibly.

The crowd was still cheering. The engines were roaring. But to me, everything went quiet. All I could hear was my own fast breathing.
“Why did you yell so loud?” I pinched Theo and hissed through gritted teeth. “Samson’s right there!”
Only then did Theo follow my line of sight. He froze when he saw Samson. “The big boss from Eclipse Pack? Why is he here?”
He was about to speak again, but I stopped him with a look. Yet, the idiot still asked, looking completely lost, “So, what do we do? Run?”
Run?
Wouldn’t that look even more suspicious?
I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down. I adjusted the edge of my veil and tried to sound normal. “Don’t move. Just watch the race.”
But I couldn’t stop myself from glancing his way. Samson had finished talking and was walking toward us.
Alice panicked. “He’s coming! What do we do? Should we pretend to go to the restroom and hide?”
“We can hide for a moment, but not forever.” I clenched my fist, my nails digging into my palm. The pain helped me calm down a little.
Samson’s footsteps came closer. That familiar cedar scent reached me, mixed with the heat of the racetrack.
Theo finally sensed something was wrong. He shut up and nervously rubbed his hands.
“Ms. Airel?” Samson’s voice came from behind me, curious, probing. “What a coincidence. I didn’t expect to run into you here.”
