Racing Hearts

A wise fool once said 'the heart wants what it wants'. Unfortunately, no one told me that sometimes, what the heart wants could be the only missing piece of a recipe for disaster. Maybe I wouldn't have listened; then we would have made it out unscathed. But there was no way to avoid it. I was in love with my principal. Heart, mind, body and soul. How do I say no to that? Azania Wyatt is an 18 year old high school senior, who has had everything at the drop of a hat. She is daddy's little girl and has some underlying issues from her childhood that she keeps dead and buried. Anthony Matthews is a 24 year-old married retired F1 race car driver, who has now taken up his legacy seat as the principal of Westerbridge Academy. Anthony also just so happens to be the brother of Azania's godfather. And he is seemingly the only person who can see beneath Azania's fake facade. What will happen when the two of them cross the line and fall in to each other's arms instead?

Chapter Seventy-Four: Gia's Visit

Anthony's POV

My mood is dark and broody as I swing the entrance door open, for once wishing I could be anywhere but here. Mrs. Khumalo stands from her chair when she sees me, flashing me a bright smile as she did every morning.

"Good morning, Principal Matthews." She chirps, ever in a good mood. I nod at her, expecting her to follow me into my office. Her heels click loudly as she scurries behind me, and for an unpleasant second, the sound reminds me of Janice.

Thinking about my ex-secretary plummets my mood deeper into the dark hole, and I all but grunt as I shrug my blazer off, handing it to Mrs. Khumalo to hang. Dejected, I settle in my chair, already exhausted by the day that lies ahead.

"Your messages." She places the post-it notes in order of importance in front of me, just how I like it.

"Your coffee." A steaming cup of black, no sugar is set before me, making me sit up with intrigue.
