The Carnival

Maya's POV

I didn't expect to win. I felt so nervous riding my horse because I knew Adonis would be watching me, unlike the last time I participated in horse racing. I felt carefree, and I did it for my mom Esmeralda, and this time I was doing it for him, of course, to impress my forever hot fiance. But when I started galloping on the fields, I felt different emotions, and I realized I was enjoying the entire ride, whether I will lose or win. I released the bitterness of yesterday, all the pains and heartaches because I know I will have a new phase in my life, and this time I am going to live my life with Adonis, the man I fell in love with ever since I was a teenager.
