If your whole existence is based on the trust a woman puts in you, then you have two choices: * You make sure you never break that trust. OR * You make sure no one remains alive to tell of the broken trust! Content retired Formula One World Champion race driver Stirling Speed begins picking at the curled corner of billionaire Lawrence Troutman's perfect life with his serene wife, Kristianna, sole heiress of the Arias cosmetic empire.
