Divorce and Freedom No More Homemaker for Him novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14 Hidden Identity

Maybe Ayla really did have a gift for racing. She picked it up fast. After just a few competitions, she already had a group of underground fans.

In one race, she even broke a professional track record.

After that, her reputation spread quickly, and the number of fans grew even more.

That was probably when Bria first heard about her.

But Ayla never raced to become famous. Once too many people knew her, she lost interest and turned to other extreme sports instead.

However, she never forgot the exhilaration of dominating speed on the track.

But that was all in the past.

“I’ve quit,” Ayla reminded her. “Don’t go around telling people.”

“So what if I do? What can you do about it?” Halle teased.

Ayla knew her too well. Halle had a naughty side to her. “Say whatever you want. No one will believe you. And even if they did, I’m not going back to the track.”

Other people might have liked her because she races, but for Ayla, racing was never more than a hobby. It wasn’t even a real skill.

Halle stopped poking fun and studied Ayla closely.

She was the most striking woman Halle had ever seen.

People often compared women to flowers–soft and delicate. But in the lab, Ayla was nothing like that. Her looks and her presence were sharp and cool, like a sharp blade, making people turn their heads in awe.

These days, people had a word for it: Ayla had a polished and intellectual air.

The kind of beauty that made someone want to claim them as their wife the moment they saw her. And it wasn’t just men–women adored her too.

She wasn’t just beautiful; she was cool too.

When Halle first met Ayla, she had been pulled in by her look and powerful aura. Halle took the initiative to approach Ayla, practically fangirling until they became best friends.

Back then, Ayla was bold and unstoppable, tearing across the track at insane speeds. Anyone watching her would have felt their blood race.

Because Ayla shined. She lit up the world around her.

It wasn’t hard to see why Bria, who loved freedom and thrills, would have been drawn to the Ayla of those days.

But three years of marriage had ground her down, leaving her almost unrecognizable.

Halle couldn’t help but sigh. “Honestly, if someone told me right now that you were once the legendary Sol, I wouldn’t believe it.”

She looped her arm through Ayla’s. “But even if you weren’t Sol, I was already hooked. The first time I saw you, I was done for.”

Ayla knew Halle was just trying to cheer her up. “Don’t worry. Whatever Bria says, I won’t take it to heart.”

She used to care–because she loved Troy. Naturally, she wanted everyone around him to like

her too.

But now she had let go of Troy. And with him gone, Bria no longer mattered.

“I just wanted to make you smile. Is that so bad?” Halle said with a grin.

Ayla gave her a helpless laugh. “Fine. Keep it up then.”

“If I don’t cheer you up, and you end up offending the big shot, you might sell me out just to save yourself. I couldn’t handle that.”

Ayla was speechless.

After saying that, Halle quickly called up her old classmate.

It didn’t take long before he showed up.

Will Newton was tall–about 6 foot one–with a lean, straight posture and sharp features. His suit fit perfectly, giving him a polished, professional look.

But instead of coming off cold and distant, he carried himself with a warm, easygoing air. He seemed gentle and approachable, the kind of man people trusted right away.

Ayla’s first impression of Will was that he was an elitist.

“Will, over here!” Halle waved.

Will smiled as he walked over. “Long time no see, desk mate.”

Then his eyes shifted politely toward Ayla. “Nice to meet you, Ayla. I’m Will.”

Clearly, Halle had already mentioned her.

Ayla gave him a small nod in return, enough to count as a greeting.

With Halle there, she didn’t need to make much effort to mingle with Will. She simply stayed quiet and let the two of them talk.

Honestly, if Halle hadn’t told her, Ayla would never have guessed they hadn’t spoken in more than ten years.

Both were natural extroverts, smooth in conversation, making it seem like no time had passed

at all.

Will gestured toward the VVVIP lounge ahead. “Come with me.”

The three of them walked in together.

This lounge was far larger and far more luxurious than the regular VIP rooms. It was filled with high–end entertainment setups, the kind of place designed to kill time if the races ever grew boring.

Ayla glanced around. A long black leather sofa stretched across the room, already occupied by a mix of older and younger guests. Up in the viewing section, more people had gathered.

Naturally, Ayla didn’t recognize anyone.

This wasn’t a public social scene–it was a private gathering. There was no need for the formalities of introductions. Ayla and Halle’s arrival didn’t require much explanation.

Halle’s purpose was clear. For her, the race was just background noise. The real goal was meeting the powerful business connection and expanding her network.

Will understood everything without needing to be told. Halle wasn’t shy about pulling him along, having him introduce her to everyone she didn’t know.

He accepted the role gladly–playing the gentleman escort to two striking women.

After all, he was the one who had invited them, and he had to be responsible to them. Besides, this old classmate of his was still as lively and charming as she had been back then.
