Chapter 225: Flashback – The Lady in Red
Author's POV (23 Years Ago)
Suddenly, and completely unexpectedly, the black horse that had been trailing in last place began to tear through the pack with a ferocious intensity. Thomas's jaw dropped, his eyes widening as he watched the horse surge forward like a poisoned arrow.
The rhythm of its hooves quickened, striking the earth with a violent force, and the crowd erupted into a hysterical frenzy at this unfolding miracle.
While the world around her boiled with excitement, Violet remained perfectly still a marble statue amidst the chaos. Her eyes were fixed on the black horse as it skillfully overtook every competitor, crossing the finish line in a crushing victory. Everyone was stunned.
Thomas, unable to contain his thrill, impulsively moved to embrace Violet, but with a swift, fluid motion, she sensed his intent. She leaned away effortlessly, dodging his touch with a grace that made his gesture vanish into thin air.
