Chapter 5

A red and a black race car idled on the track.

A gunshot rang out, followed by a roar.

Every time I was about to pull ahead, Kai would overtake me.

I had to focus intently, concentrating on the race.

On the last lap, I had a comfortable lead.

Just as I was about to cross the finish line, Kai suddenly floored the accelerator, but after passing me, he sharply swerved around.

My eyes widened. I slammed on the brakes.

The two cars’ fronts gently touched.

In that instant, a slight vibration passed through, but it felt like an electric current sweeping through my entire body.

It was the “death kiss” of racing, supremely romantic.

Then Kai rapidly reversed, crossing the finish line.

I stayed frozen for a long time before slowly driving my car over.

Stepping out, I strode up to Kai. He’d just taken off his helmet and was about to speak.

I slapped him across the face, calling him, “Crazy!”

A trickle of blood seeped from the corner of Kai’s mouth, but he smiled devilishly, his eyes curving, his gaze seeming to devour me whole.

“I won. I won’t be at your birthday party.”

I froze.

He’d done something so dangerous just to avoid a birthday party. My heart was still trembling.

I couldn't quite explain what I was feeling.

Kai wiped the blood from his mouth and continued,

“But Miss Sterling’s gift, I’ll still send it. What do you want?”

I sneered. “Anything I want, you can give?”

Kai also curved his lips. “Of course. Heaven and earth, the stars and the moon, anything I can do, I’ll give.”

I took a step closer, pushing him back. Kai frowned, but I grabbed him.

I stood on my tiptoes, leaning in, and Kai’s eyes immediately widened.

The next second, I whispered in his ear, “Then I want you. Can you give me that?”

The man trembled with rage. Just as he was about to push me away, a loud "bang" suddenly echoed from a distance.

Both of us looked over—it was Leo.

He walked over, his face dark with displeasure.

Kai merely frowned, then asked me again,

“What did you mean by what you just said?”

I curved my lips. “The birthday gift I want is for you to attend my birthday party.”

I smiled slyly, though in my heart, I was thinking: *What a joke. If he doesn't come, how am I going to marry him?*

Kai realized, and was about to speak, but I cut him off.

“You said you could do anything.”

Kai said in a low voice,

“You’re so eager for us to come and watch you be humiliated? Don’t you know about Leo and that Tiffany…”

His words were cut short as Leo reached us, his face clouded.

“What goes on between Tiffany and me is none of your business. But you, playing such a dangerous game with Chloe, isn’t that against the rules?”

I impatiently frowned. “Aren’t you supposed to be watching your Tiffany? Why are you meddling in my affairs?”

Leo had just settled Tiffany. When he got home and found I wasn’t there, he guessed I’d come to the racetrack.

But seeing me and Kai so intimately close, a sudden surge of anger erupted within him.

In my previous life, I only had him, and even after a year of marriage, there were no improper actions.

Now, suddenly seeing that scene, he couldn’t help but be angry.

Perhaps it was a man’s innate possessiveness, Leo convinced himself, and then spoke.

“I was going to take you home so I could accept my punishment, but it seems now there’s one more person who needs to be punished.”
