Chapter 3

"This race is like, once in a lifetime. You've been waiting for this. You can't let this jackass ruin it!"

"Forget Davison! Check the car, whatever it takes, we're racing!"

Leo ripped my phone out of my hand and locked me and the car in the garage.

I clenched my jaw so hard my teeth ached, checking every single part of the car.

Even if someone leaked the designs, even fractions of an inch would cause huge issues!

How did Davison get parts identical to mine?

And even if he got it all, why did my car explode?

I racked my brain, trying to remember everything.

Davison had a wall of fans around him, no chance to touch the car.

But who was he holding close?

Sarah!

My heart clenched.

Eight years together, I was sure she was the one, but she was there, arm in arm with the guy who framed me.

Screw it!

I shook off the memories.

Tore the car apart, piece by piece.

Three years of prep went into this machine, I loved it, but I remembered my parents jumping out the window.

I tore it faster.

Once I finished, I went to the storage room and found my other gear.

This was my first speed demon.

It was perfect, but out of passion, I wanted something even better.

So I had something more dangerous in mind.

Davison may have stolen my upgrades, but he couldn't steal my skills!

I built my own racecar.

The result was much better than before, a fierce beast!
