Chapter 114: Encounter at the Riding Club

Angela POV

"Angela, let me introduce you to my opponent for today's race-Sean Shaw, CEO of Shaw

Group."

My face paled instantly at Tristan's introduction, fighting to keep my composure. Know him? If only Tristan knew just how well.

"Sean and I have a friendly rivalry that goes back years," Tristan continued, oblivious to

my distress. He turned to me with a charming smile. "Angela, would you like to ride with me? Experience the thrill from horseback?"

I searched frantically for an excuse, any reason to extract myself from this nightmare. But

before I could formulate a response, Tristan was already guiding me closer to the field

where Sean sat astride his powerful black stallion.

The sight of him after all these years sent electricity through my veins. Dressed entirely in black riding attire that emphasized his athletic build, his sharp features seemed even more defined than I remembered.

In one fluid motion, Sean dismounted, his movements betraying years of equestrian training.

His gaze fell on me like a blade, studying every inch of my face as if committing it

to memory-or perhaps searching for changes the years had wrought.

"Angela is my companion today," Tristan announced, his hand possessively touching my

elbow.

"Companion?" Sean's voice was low and dangerous, the single word carrying unmistakable skepticism.

Tristan's smile widened, clearly enjoying Sean's reaction. "What do you think? She's quite special, isn't she? For fairness, you should have a companion too."
