Chapter: Chapter 9: Flirting With Maya“Where are we, Jax? Are we still at the racetrack?” Coyote asked as he slowly sat up, his body still adjusting to the shock.“Yeah, we’re still here. They’ve already transferred the prize money to your account, by the way,” Jax replied, barely able to contain his excitement.“Really?” Coyote’s eyes lit up.“Yes! You can now kiss your money problems goodbye,” Jax grinned.Coyote smiled to himself, already thinking of how to spend the money. First on the list: paying off his overdue rent. Just the thought brought a wave of relief.“How are you feeling?” Jax asked, his face shifting to a more serious expression.“I feel good… for someone who was in a car that crashed and exploded,” Coyote said with a wry chuckle.“Sorry about your car. I know how much it meant to you,” Jax said, his voice softer now.“Yeah… I’ll miss it dearly. But I want to forget about that right now. I just want to go home,” Coyote replied, his tone turning wistful.“Once the EMT lady finishes checking out the other i

Chapter: Chapter 8: System Awakened Coyote stirred awake on what felt like a stretcher, his heart pounding wildly—faster than any engine he’d ever heard. His vision was blurry at first, but as it sharpened, he realized he was inside an ambulance. Oddly enough, it wasn’t moving. Sirens weren’t wailing. The whole world felt like it had paused, holding its breath. Then, a voice he knew cracked through the silence.“Hey! EMT, he just opened his eyes!” Jax shouted, nearly shaking the stretcher with the force of his voice.Coyote let out a pained groan. His body throbbed in multiple places, bandages wrapped around his arms, his chest, even his ribs. Every movement sent a fresh jolt of pain rippling through him.“Please don’t move,” said a calm, soothing voice—a woman’s voice. “You sustained a lot of injuries. You need to rest. It’s a miracle that you’re still alive.”Through the haze, Coyote managed to catch a glimpse of her. She had light olive skin, striking grey eyes, and long brown hair pulled into a ponytail beneath her

Chapter: Chapter 7: A Suicidal StuntAn hour later, Coyote pulled into the parking lot of an abandoned race track, just as Jax had directed. Jax sat silently in the passenger seat, arms crossed, watching the shadows stretch across the cracked pavement.Coyote turned to him. “Wait, so this is the place where all the races take place?”“This is one of the spots they use,” Jax replied, stepping out of the car. “Back in the day, they ran on public roads, but after too many run-ins with the cops, they decided to switch things up and use this place.”Coyote got out as well, looking around. “So, how do I go about joining the race?”“You leave that to me,” Jax said. “I hate that I’m doing this, but I’ll handle everything. You just take your car over to where the other drivers are prepping. And please, try to keep your mouth shut. These guys are dangerous. You don’t want to piss any of them off.”Coyote gave him a mock salute. “Yes, sir.”Jax shook his head. “Fuck you very much.”“There’s no need to be rude, sir,” Coyote said, gr

Chapter: Chapter 6: Convincing JaxCoyote pulled up in front of an old apartment building. The street was cloaked in shadows, save for a few scattered windows glowing faintly with light. At first, he considered stepping out and going inside, but something made him hesitate. A heaviness settled over him. Instead, he reached for his phone and dialed Jax’s number.It rang a few times before Jax picked up.“Hello, bro, what’s up?” Jax asked.Coyote drew in a sharp breath. “Bro, can you come outside? I’m parked out front.”“If you’re parked out front, why don’t you just come inside?” Jax replied, confused.Coyote reached for the driver’s side door but grimaced in pain—it barely budged. “Just come outside. I need your help now. Please.”There was a brief pause before Jax answered, “Okay, I’ll be there.”He was about to hang up when Coyote added, “Please bring a first aid kit... and some pain meds. The type you take to not feel anything at all.”Jax’s tone changed instantly. “Dude, what the hell is going on? Why do you need t

Chapter: Chapter 5: The Attack “You grab my wife's butt and when she complains, you hit her! You will live to regret it,” the man—who Coyote quickly realized was Katalina’s husband—shouted, his voice thick with rage.Coyote blinked, dazed and confused. What the hell is he talking about? When did I grab her butt? When did I hit her? The accusations didn’t make sense. But as he looked past the fury in the man’s face and saw Katalina smirking behind him, it all clicked.She lied. That devious despicable bitch lied.A brutal punch caught him in the jaw, sending him stumbling back. Another blow struck his ribs. Kicks followed. Coyote tried to shield himself, but the man's fists were fast, relentless. Each hit rattled his bones.He winced, breath ragged, but in a sudden burst of strength, he grabbed the man’s foot mid-kick and shoved it with everything he had. The man lost his balance and crashed to the ground.Panting on all fours, Coyote shouted, “I did not touch your wife! She’s a slut that came on to me!”He pushed h

Chapter: Chapter 4: Rejecting Katalina “Wow. You’re big—and you’re not even hard.” Her grin widened as she stroked him through his pants.A sharp breath left Coyote’s lips. Apprehensive. Turned on. Caught off guard. It had been too long since a woman had touched him like this. Getting back into racing had been his only focus, leaving little room for distractions—except for the occasional lonely, frustrated night with his own hand.This was unprofessional. Completely out of line.He should stop her. Say something. Move away.But as his body responded, the words refused to come.“What do you say we take this somewhere private, champ?” Katalina murmured, pressing herself against him, her ample cleavage brushing his chest.Coyote considered it.He knew exactly where to take her—the staff restroom. No one would catch them there. His only coworker had quit two days ago, leaving him to run this dying auto shop alone.It would be easy.But just as he opened his mouth to suggest it, his gaze flicked to her left hand.A wedding ring
