I slipped into the racing sult, feeling its snug fit against my body. As I looked at myself in the mirror, I felt a mix of emotions. The suit was emblazoned with the Sparco Racing Team logo, and my pseudonym. "Cheryl," was proudly displayed on the chest. Below it were three golden trophies, signifying the Grand Prix titles I had won in the past.

The racing suit clung to my curves, its sleek fabric highlighting my figure while also symbolizing my connection to the world of racing.

Before I could respond, Gregor leaned in and whispered, "He's a fan of yours from back in the day. The people left in the basic club were all drawn to you before you went into hiding. He probably didn't recognize you."
I glanced over at Narik, who was watching the scene unfold with a look of excited anticipation.us eyes sparkled with eagerness. It seemed he was looking forward to our race more than ever.
I took a deep breath, feeling the tightness of the racing suit around me. "I'm ready," I said, pulling on my helmet. I walked towards the car, the murmurs of the crowd growing louder behind me.

The crowd was on edge, their cheers and gasps punctuating the air. My teammates, who had been skeptical carlier, were now watching with bated breath. Their faces transformed from disbelief to sheer excitement as they saw the race unfold.

I climbed out of my car, feeling a rush of exhilaration. The man who had challenged me came over, his expression a mix of grudging respect and chagrin. "I'm sorry," he said, his voice strained. "You've got a lot of power, but that doesn't mean you're qualified to wear Cheryl's racing suit."
I smiled, not revealing my true identity. "Just wait and see," I said cryptically. I wanted him to keep wondering.
Narik approached me, his demeanour friendly and upbeat. "Congratulations," he said with a
genuine smile. "You were fantastic out there. I'll definitely have to up my game if I want to beat you next time."
I shrugged, feeling a bit smug. "You're not the only one who will be improving. I'll be working on my skills too."

In truth, I knew I hadn't raced perfectly. It had been years since I'd last been behind the wheel, and I
was a bit rusty. My victory was partly due to Narik's mistake at the final corner, but I took pride in the fact that I had managed to compete fiercely.
As the evening wore on and the sky began to darken, the rounds of racing came to an end. The team started to pack up, and I was preparing to leave when Narik called out to me.
"Hey, Cheryl!" he said, catching up to me. He looked a bit embarrassed but excited. "I was wondering
if you're free this weekend. I'm looking to buy a new violin and could use some help picking it out.
Would you like to come with me?"
Iraised an eyebrow, surprised by the invitation. "Sure, I'd love to help. I've been wanting to buy something myself."
Arthat moment, my phone rang. It was Lorik. I answered quickly. "Hi, Lorik. I'm at the Arena

Lorik's voice sounded puzzled. "Why are you there?"
Before I could answer, Narik snatched the phone from my hand and spoke into it. "Hello, this is Narik. I'm with Shirley right now."
Lorik's tone shifted instantly to one of concern. "Narik? Stay away from her," he said sharply. "I don't want you getting involved with her." After I Let Go My Alpha, He Knelt in Regret
