Chapter 3 .

"What the hell do you want?" Bella said in an angry tone. All the memories this man had caused her in the past came back like a heavy storm. He had caused her unbearable pain over the past ten years, and he dared to show up at her house. Bella stood strong. She had to fight if needed. She couldn't allow this man to cause her more pain. He was the reason why Bella was in her current situation.

"Oh, dear sister, don't be too rude. First, welcome me. Give me a glass of water and ask me how I have been. All these ten years. You have all grown up. Long time. Indeed, such a long time. "You're already old enough for marriage," the guy said sarcastically.

He let out an annoying laugh. It almost set Bella off; she almost lost her temper. Bella still felt too much pain from what that guy had caused her over the past years.

Even if he had been imprisoned for ten years, that wouldn't bring her mom back. "Shut that fucking mouth, you idiot!" Bella almost lost it. Zane, her father's son, had murdered her mother ten years ago in that terrible car accident.

Zane had sabotaged her mother's car, causing the accident. Zane, however, was imprisoned for ten years, but now he was back—Bella's ten-year nightmare.

Zane moved slowly towards Bella, saying, "My dear little sister, don't be angry over nothing. I just came to see you, to say hey to you. "Don't miss me? You know it has been a long time." He set his glass down on the table and moved towards Bella, his gaze clearly fixed on her.

Bella panicked; she knew what Zane was actually capable of. "Stop right there," Bella commanded, raising her voice. Zane gave her a sarcastic laugh and moved in closer.

He reached for her ear and whispered to her, "Be more careful, little sister. The game has resumed. I'm leaving, but this time I won't miss my target."

He passed her and left. Bella finally broke down. She let out everything she had been holding back. She cried softly, breaking down and sitting on the floor. Zane was the only reason she was an orphan.

He had caused her pain for the past ten years. Losing her mother at a very young age had been a nightmare for her. Growing up all by herself with a careless father, the pain grew every day. She cried out her pain.

And now Zane was back to finish off his target that he had missed ten years ago. She couldn't allow Zane to make another terrible mistake, though she didn't know how at the moment.

Zane was a mafia member and a well-known gangster, and she had no connections. How would she get her mother's revenge? That's what actually drove her to move far. Her phone buzzed. She picked it up.

VEX'S MATCH.

"Is Vex showing up for this match?" Levi asked. Elias looked buried in thought. He was wondering why Vex hadn't shown up. "What's going on? Is Vex not coming?" he thought. Almost 40 bikes had lined up, but Vex hadn't come, and that made Elias worry much more. Was Vex not attending the match?

Elias had come all the way to see Vex, but now he wasn't sure Vex would make it. The match was about to begin. Murmurs spread throughout the crowd. They were all not at ease. Most of them had come to watch Vex, but now Vex was not around. Some of the fans started getting up slowly to leave, one by one.

Then suddenly, a bike came speeding towards the lined-up 40 bikes. The person driving looked more serious. It stopped right in front of the other 40 bikes. The person then got off the bike and faced the crowd, stretching out their hand like Vex always did. "Oh God, it's my idol, Vex," Elias said.

He stood up and shouted at the top of his voice, "Vex! Vex! Vex!!!!!" He jumped up and down. The crowd that had been leaving all came back running and shouting Vex's name.

Soon, Vex went on the line. A gunshot was fired, and the bikes all stormed off like lightning. The race began, and the bikes started moving, all speeding like a flash of light. Biker No. 13 moved so fast; that was Vex.

Tears dropped from Vex's eyes within the helmet. Vex lost focus and remembered some noises: ambulance alarms and flashes of light in an operating room. It was a very painful situation. Tears kept dripping from Vex's eyes. But what tragedy could make a strong Vex cry so bitterly? It must have been a serious matter.

MR. SHONE'S HOME.

"So, that good-for-nothing son of yours, where the hell is he?" Mr. Shone barked at his wife, Victoria Shone. Ever since Zane was released from prison, he had come back home.

Victoria was also worried about her son's whereabouts. Mr. Shone stormed out of the room, leaving Victoria alone. She took out her phone and made a quick call. "Find Zane and bring him home in no time," she said with a commanding tone.

Victoria knew very well what her stupid son could do at any moment. He was out of prison, and he still had that burning rage about Bella. So, if he made a silly move, he would be going back to prison. "We better plan well this time, Zane, and take our main target, or else soon we will be begging on the streets. If only we don't do what is required," Victoria thought as she stared at her phone. So, was Victoria in the same league as Zane?

Someone stumbled in, staggering. Someone was drunk. He had his coat on his shoulders. "What the hell is this, Riven?" Victoria stumbled out of the study room. His other son drank a lot. All he thought about was alcohol.

VEX'S MATCH.

Slowly, Vex began losing the match. Vex was heartbroken, and that put the race at stake. Vex had never lost a race, but that day, I wasn't sure how to predict that Vex would win. A young girl's voice crying echoed in Vex's mind. Who was this girl? Vex's mind was somewhere else, not in the race at all.

"Man, what's going on with Vex these days?" Elias asked out of concern. He didn't seem to understand the Vex he once knew. But Vex couldn't lose a match. That is, if Vex was breathing fine. Biker No. 13 moved faster. The moves were so smart, dodging bike after bike. Vex was in third place, just a few minutes from the finish line. Vex swung the bike and surpassed them all with just one move. Vex crossed the finish line first.

A bike behind Vex, biker no. 20, Brandon, lost balance and went off the road. He fell down, and his head hit the ground hard. The crash kept replaying in Vex's mind as if it had happened before. An accident had occurred sometime back. Vex's eyes opened wide in shock.

Was Brandon still alive or not? Most of the bikers rushed to his side. Vex stood there, confused. "What was Vex supposed to do? Was Brandon going to be okay? Is he dead?" All those questions were stranded in his mind. Vex's hands were shaking uncontrollably.
