Chapter 108

Ethan Roscente narrowed his eyes at the red sports car ahead.

Vivian Laurent's speed was unnaturally fast.

She didn't slow down at the sharp turn ahead. Tires screeched against the pavement, sending sparks flying.

Was she insane?

Final lap. The finish line was within reach.

Ethan stayed close, but Vivian maintained her lead.

The steep slope before the finish was his last chance.

The red car roared past. Ethan slammed the accelerator. His black racer launched into the air like a hawk, soaring over Vivian's car.

The crowd erupted.

A flawless aerial overtake.

Ethan crossed the finish line first.

He exhaled. Victory.

But something was wrong.

Vivian's car had veered off course during the descent, slowing abruptly. Uncharacteristic for her.

"Ethan!" Sophia Evans flung herself at him, arms wrapping around his waist. "I knew you'd win!"

She tilted her face up. "Let's celebrate tonight, just us. You haven't spent time with me since I returned..."

Ethan ignored her.

His gaze locked onto the red car speeding away.

Vivian hadn't stopped.

She was still driving dangerously fast.

Ethan's pupils contracted. He shoved Sophia aside and jumped back into the driver's seat.

"Ethan!" Sophia stomped her foot in frustration.

His black racer shot forward like an arrow.

Sophia glared at the retreating taillights. That woman...her skills were unnatural. At that speed, she shouldn't have avoided every obstacle so precisely.

Inside the car, Vivian stomped on the brakes.

Useless.

She'd lost. The deal required her to save Sophia now.

The rearview mirror reflected Ethan embracing Sophia.

Hah.

Vivian smirked coldly.

Suddenly, blaring horns pierced the air.

Ethan's car was closing in.
