Chapter 31: Finished First

As soon as the signal was released, Serenity didn't need to wait a second longer before she had sped off, leaving the other contestants with their mouths agape in shock.

Many couldn't even function..

"What the hell just happened?!"

"Who is this big shot?!"

After a few minutes, some of the racers finally pulled themselves together and raced off, while others resigned themselves to the loss as they knew the reality already was not in their favor, so why bother.

Serenity, was naturally unaware of these things and the commotion she caused as she could only focus on the thrill of the ride.

Then again, even if she knew, she wouldn't care.

She hadn't felt so free in a long time, in her last life, she enjoyed riding alot, but eventually gave it up because that bastard claimed it wasn't appropriate for her image with him.

Now things were different and she would full heartedly enjoy whatever she wanted, she would never let someone have control over her like that again.

As she was lost in her thoughts, yet focused on the track, she didn't even notice she had gained a certain devils attention.

Colton had been at the tracks today for buisness mostly, there would be an auction later in the arena. This auction only occurred a few times a year and always had rare items that were scarce to come by and extremely valuable.

He had been looking for something for a while, so he didn't hesitate when his assistant told him of the auction.

His so-called, friends, also heard about it as well and insisted on dragging him here earlier than needed to bet on racers as well.

As he was watching one racer in particular managed to catch his eye, they went by the name, Ren.

He couldn't help, but smile at the care free person on the bike that left everyone in the dust.

Obviously, he already knew this was his little beauty, she couldn't disguise herself from his keen eyesight and observation.

He had basically ingrained her every detail into his mind, every freckle, curve of her body, the way she carries herself, postures...everything.

The baffling idiots that accompanied him, were mind blown as they couldn't help but gawk at seeing their iceblock friend with a smile.

Braxton rubbed his eyes frantically and then punched Hayden's arm to wake him up, "I'm seeing things right?"

Hayden glared at his friend, "No...dick."

Luke just rolled his eyes at their antics.

"Hmm, I feel like this racer looks familiar?" Luke said with a smug look as he eyed Colton's reaction.

Colton just casually shrugged and said, "Oh."

Serenity successfully crossed the finish line breaking the ribbon as well as causing many people to nearly have a heart attack at how calm she was.

Many people had similar thoughts, "Did she not know how fast she was and how she made a ground breaking record for finishing the race in under 15 minutes..."

The race consisted of many loops and laps before you could break out in a 3 mile curve to cross the finish line.

Upon the completion of the race, she was handed a large cash prize that she quickly hid away, what can she say, he didn't like money. It was necessary, those who had money, had power.

The announcer for the race had wanted to ask her a few questions, but before she could, Serenity had flat out ignored her before riding her bike to park it.

She was thinking about looking around when she heard a familiar voice behind her that made her heart accelerate and her breath rate increase.

"Little beauty, you seem to have quite a few secrets." Colton said with a wolfish grin on his face as he stared at the figure of the girl who haunted his mind every second of the day.

All she could think was, 'Holy fuck, just when I was finally getting this bastard off my mind, he shows up.'
