Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Do You Honestly Think Shaun...

Tracy lifted her chin defiantly and retorted, "Why are you so arrogant? Can you speak for everyone in Liverton, or are you just full of hot air?"

With that, she flashed her middle finger, a universally recognized gesture of defiance.

Feeling slighted, Lily forced a smile and responded, "Quite bold of you. We'll just have to see!" Meanwhile, Elyse, adjusting her new helmet, said coolly, "Enough talk. Let's get on with it".

"Okay, let's start the race!" Lowell, clearly annoyed by the confrontation, donned his helmet and positioned his motorbike at the pre-drawn white line.

"Hold on, come here," Jayden called out, stopping Elyse.

She removed her helmet, approached him, and bent down slightly to ask, "What's up, honey?" "Listen," Jayden cautioned, "I don't want you taking unnecessary risks. If it gets too dangerous, just pull out. Losing the race won't matter- I'l handle the Ruiz family, and Tracy's wedding will go ahead without a hitch."

His message was clear-protect herself and be cautious.

Without waiting for his reaction, she hurried back to her motorcycle, donned her helmet, and rode

to the starting line.

Jayden was still reeling from the shock. He touched his cheek where she had kissed him, feeling a delightful numbness spread through him. Damn, that felt amazing!

From the corner of her eye, Tracy watched the expression on Jayden's face. Noticing the spark in his eyes, she silently looked away, moved by their love

Meanwhile, Lowell produced a coin and declared, "I'll toss this, and then we'll start the race when it lands."

"No problem.

The moment the coin hit the ground, they sped off like cheetahs, the roar of their engines echoing down the empty road.

As Elyse vanished into the distance, the others settled by the roadside to wait.

Tracy, unable to contain her curiosity, asked, "Do you think Elyse will win?"

"Win of lose, it won't change the plans I've made. Your wedding will proceed as scheduled," Jayden assured her.

Taken aback by his certainty, Tracy responded softly, "Thank you."

Racing alongside Lowell, Elyse matched his pace. The mountain road wasn't rough, but it was full

of sharp turns. Neither wanted to lose time on the outer edges, so they both hugged the inner circle, pushing their bikes to the limit.

As the race intensified, it was inevitable that Elyse's and Lowell's motorbikes would clash and collide. Stability became key to maintaining control.

With Jayden's assurances, Elyse felt less pressure and found joy in the < freedom of riding. The race became more about the thrill than the competition for her.

In contrast, Lowell was burdened with stress. He was determined to disrupt Tracy and Shaun's wedding, pondering ways to make Shaun call it off if he won. His focus wasn't entirely on the race. During a sharp curve, his distraction caused him to misjudge his speed in the inner circle, leaving him half a meter behind Elyse. Despite his efforts, he couldn't close the gap that followed.

Elyse, meanwhile, rode flawlessly. Lowell's mistake only widened the distance between them. It

was clear to everyone when Elyse crossed the finish line first.

Shocked, Lily blurted out, "That's impossible. How could Lowell lose?"

Tracy, ecstatic, rushed to Elyse's side. "You're incredible! You beat Lowell Ruiz!"

After dismounting her motorcycle, Elyse embraced Tracy and boasted, "Beating him was a breeze"

Lowell returned, visibly upset. He threw his helmet to the ground and pointed at Tracy. "Shaun and my sister have been together for three years since high school. Everyone knows he's devoted

to her. Do you honestly think he loves you? Ridiculous!"

Frowning, Elyse pulled Tracy closer and comforted her. "Don't listen to him. He's just bitter

because he lost. You're getting married tomorrow, ignore his nonsense!"

Lowell snapped back, "Nonsense? Tracy, I'm warning you against < marriage for your own good. Don't be so ungrateful!"
