Chapter 1

When I saw Natalie Duvall again, she and Cody Hudson were busy coaxing Shane Maddox, who had just tanked his race.I, on the other hand, had just taken the checkered flag in the rally.The second I pulled off my helmet, a chill ran down my spine, as if someone were staring daggers into the back of my neck. Before I could turn around, I heard footsteps rushing up behind me.The next second, a force yanked me backward.My eyes locked with Natalie's.In her gaze, I saw sheer shock and my own calm reflection. It had been five years. Her face was just as cold as ever, but her emotions were much closer to the surface now."Benjamin Hudson? It really is you!"Her reaction was almost funny. Who else did she think it would be?Beside her, Cody froze right where he stood. He had grown a lot taller, and the look in his eyes was deeply conflicted."Dad, what are you doing? Are you seriously trying to copy him?"I froze, his words instantly dragging me straight back to my previous life.

"Benjamin, it looks like I really left a scar on you. I can't believe you actually took up racing because of me."Shane looked at me with a pitying shake of his head as he clicked his tongue."Too bad I never see your name on the leaderboard. Racing isn't a hobby you just pick up. You're getting up there in age, and you've always been a bit clumsy. Stop trying to force it."I glanced at him indifferently.Just minutes ago, I had clinched the overall championship trophy while he finished dead last.I had no idea how he could still stand there looking so full of himself. His scorecard was so embarrassing that I felt secondhand embarrassment just looking at it.Moreover, the only reason he hadn't seen my name on the roster was that I raced under a pseudonym, Blade.But I didn't bother correcting him. My wife and daughter were probably waiting for me.To him, however, my silence was obviously a cop-out.He sized me up from head to toe, noticing my bare face, just like the old days

Before I could even finish my sentence, Natalie cut me off, her voice dripping with irritation."When are you going to stop being so stubborn, Benjamin? If you aren't drowning in regret, why else would you be out here trying to race? You've spent years throwing yourself into this, and you still haven't made anything of yourself. Just swallow your pride and admit you messed up."Cody looked at me with total impatience. "Dad, why do you always twist Mom's words? We've been trying to get ahold of you for years, but you've ghosted us. You're throwing a tantrum. Now that you see Mom is finally moving on and marrying Mr. Maddox, you're freaking out, aren't you?"Looking at Cody with a calm expression, I couldn't help but sigh inwardly.The apple truly didn't fall far from the tree. He had inherited every bit of his mother's sharp, biting malice.I was the one who had poured years and endless effort into raising him, yet he never missed an opportunity to stab me in the back just to tak

Chapter 4

Daphne's birthday present had been torn completely open.Cody caught me staring and looked slightly embarrassed, but he quickly covered it up with a look of disdain.He held up the unboxed model car and scoffed, "Dad, I'm way too old for toys. Why would you even get me this?"Seeing Daphne's gift being handled so carelessly made my stomach turn. Swallowing my rage, I snatched the box right out of his hands."This isn't for you," I said, my voice sharp and laced with reproach. "Who gave you permission to touch my belongings?"Cody's arrogant little smirk died instantly as he stared at me in utter disbelief. Honestly, I couldn't blame him for the shock. In my previous life, I had never once chided him, let alone raised my voice at him. He had been the apple of my eye.But right now, Cody could clearly read the impatience and disgust written all over my face. Tears welled up in his eyes, a look of utter confusion washing over his face.In the next second, Shane pulled him into

Meanwhile, Shane stared at me in utter disbelief, his eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets.Right next to him, Natalie and Cody stood completely frozen.Lauren stepped onto the stage right then, holding the championship trophy. She looked gorgeous, her elegant posture and gown turning heads the moment she walked out.Her focus was entirely on me as she handed over the trophy."Congratulations, Blade," she said. "You'll always be the greatest racer in the world to me."My eyes welled with tears as I took the trophy and hoisted it high above my head. The track went wild as thousands of fans chanted my name at the top of their lungs. The next second, Daphne ran out in her little dress and threw her arms around my legs.I picked her up with one arm while balancing the trophy in the other."Daddy, you did it!" Daphne squealed, overjoyed. "Mommy, isn't Daddy the best?"Lauren took her from my arms. "He absolutely is."At those words, the reporters went into a frenzy, rushing t

Natalie froze in her tracks, a flicker of emotion crossing her eyes. Her hardened expression faltered, giving way to a sudden flash of vulnerability."Don't you know what I want by now?"Though she fought to hold it in, a tear finally escaped the corner of her eye."We've been divorced for five years and three months. I sent you hundreds of texts and called you a thousand times, but you never answered once."I even went to see your dad, but they wouldn't tell me anything and threw me out. I don't get it. How much do you have to hate me to be this cruel?"Even as she dissolved into tears, my expression remained calm."The second you cheated on me, it was over between us. What's the use of crying about it now?"The words had barely left my mouth when Natalie kicked the pillar next to her. "Shane and I never did anything, so stop throwing dirt on my name!"Never did anything?I couldn't believe she had the nerve to say that out loud.Did staying out all night count as nothing? D

Chapter 7

Lauren placed her hand on my shoulder, looking at me with genuine concern. "Benjamin, are you okay?"Daphne's eyes welled with tears as she looked up at me. "Are you feeling down, Daddy? Let me give you a hug."I shook my head, my anger fading as I pulled myself together. "I'm fine."Natalie, who had just screamed at Shane, turned her attention back to Daphne. She looked completely out of it, her eyes brimming with tears."If we'd had a daughter, she would've been even prettier than her."The second those words left her mouth, both Lauren and I stiffened, our faces dropping.Lauren immediately scooped Daphne into her arms, glaring at Natalie with disgust. "Watch your mouth."Natalie's expression hardened, and she let out a bitter laugh. "If you don't have anything to hide, why are you being so defensive?"She was clearly trying to get under Lauren's skin.That was just how Natalie behaved. Whenever she was unhappy, she became a total nutjob, lashing out at anyone within arm'

Chapter 8

On the screen, a manic Shane held a megaphone, shouting his accusations at the camera. "Blade rigged the championship! His wife, Lauren Keegan, is one of the main event sponsors! I demand a full investigation into the event!"The Elandorian Championship had wrapped up hours earlier, and his video rode that viral wave to spark an immediate reaction online.The view count cleared a hundred million in no time.Guilt washed over me as I looked at Lauren. "Did I bring trouble to your doorstep?" I asked, my voice tight with anxiety.Lauren glanced at me, an unexpected laugh escaping her lips. "You think I'm upset because you caused me trouble?"My mouth opened, but before a reply could form, Daphne scrambled right into my lap. "Mommy's mad at those people for upsetting you, Daddy.""See?" Lauren huffed, her tone teasing. "Daphne gets me better than you do.""I was going to say the same thing," I countered. "She stole my line."We laughed and joked, unbothered by the online drama.

Chapter 9

That evening, Shane had dropped by to comfort him, smiling as he told Cody he was his dad now. But Cody completely lost it, screaming and driving him out of the house. It took an entire year before he slowly began to come to terms with having Shane in his life.Yet, whenever the night fell, and it was just Natalie and Cody alone, Cody would clutch Natalie's clothes, choking back tears as he asked, "Mom, will Dad come home if I'm a good boy? "I eat my vegetables now without being told, and I even wash my own socks. Does Dad know? I promise I'll never make him mad again."Natalie never knew what to say because she had absolutely no clue where I had gone.Now, she knew, but I had already married someone else, and I had Daphne.Natalie refused to accept this."Daphne's your child, but so is Cody," she uttered through gritted teeth. "You've ignored him for all these years. It's about time you stepped up and took care of him."Daphne was curled up in my arms, acting like a spoiled

Chapter 10

Cody had slept with that teddy bear every single night since he was a baby, and I never expected him to hand it over to Daphne.The moment Natalie picked him up, she asked anxiously, "Well? How did it go?"Cody kept his head down and stayed silent, which instantly set off Natalie's temper."Your dad always spoiled you rotten! What exactly did you say to him?" she snapped. "Answer me!"Natalie's voice grew louder and louder until she looked ready to hit him.Cody finally broke down, bursting into a loud sob. "Dad doesn't care about me anymore! Daphne's the only one he cares about!""Dad and Ms. Keegan are really happy together, too," he cried. "Mom, stop deluding yourself. Dad's never coming back!"Over the past month, Cody had finally opened his eyes to a lot of things.He understood why I wanted a divorce, and why I chose to leave both Natalie and him behind.It was because Natalie did nothing but take her temper out on me, treating every single household chore as my sole res
