A Second Chance with the CEO After Divorce

Chapter 59:

The blazing afternoon sun at two o’clock cast its rays over the bustling racetrack, heightening the excitement in the air. Madisyn, now clad in a racing suit, led Belinda into the venue. She squinted at the dust kicked up by distant cars and offered a small smile. “When was the last time you drove?”

Belinda slid her suit sleeves into place. “I haven’t been behind the wheel of a race car since Joyce’s accident.” Before her life intersected with Joyce’s, she’d been a country girl making ends meet with odd jobs at a suburban clinic. Joyce, from a wealthy family, had introduced her to dance, racing, and other experiences she never could have imagined. But the tragic accident that left Joyce in a vegetative state four years ago had plunged Belinda into deep sorrow and anxiety. Then Kristopher’s accident consumed her attention, and she hadn’t touched a race car since.

Madisyn glanced over her shoulder with a grin. “Back when you were Mrs. Cox, I wouldn’t have dared bring you here for fun. But now that you’re free, I want you to unwind. After all, Joyce used to take us racing to blow off steam.”

Belinda nodded. “That’s true.”

“Hey, it feels like forever!” a voice called, cutting through the roar of engines.
