Dorian Ashcroft

There is this girl. Her name is Iris Bennett. Quiet, observant, and endlessly curious, she's a journalism student who works as a freelance photographer and article writer. Iris loves capturing stories through her camera, believing every person has a side the world never gets to see. Fame has never interested her. The person behind it always has. Then there is this guy. His name is Dorian Ashcroft. One of the most famous motorcycle racers in the country. His races sell out in minutes. Millions know his name, wear his merchandise, and cheer for him every weekend. Yet no one knows anything about his personal life. No family photos. No dating rumors. No livestreams. No interviews longer than five minutes. The moment a race ends... He disappears. Months ago, their families arranged a marriage between them for business reasons. Neither of them had much of a choice, but neither fought it either. Surprisingly, living together wasn't difficult. Keeping it secret was. If the public ever discovered Dorian had a wife, reporters would follow Iris everywhere, destroying the quiet life she loved. So at college... They're strangers. No sitting together. No talking in public. No lingering glances. Only a polite nod if no one is watching. One afternoon, Iris is assigned to interview the mysterious racer for the college magazine. Everyone says it's impossible to get him to open up. The interview ends exactly six minutes later. As the cameras switch off, Dorian quietly closes the door behind everyone else. "You asked different questions." Iris smiles. "I wasn't interviewing the champion." He raises an eyebrow. "I wanted to know the man I come home to every night." For the first time all day... The famous racer smiled. Not for the cameras. Not for his fans. Only for his wife. 🏍️📸🤍
