They Stole My Supercar So I Destroyed Their Lives

I bought myself a Koenigsegg.

I was about to take my girlfriend, Jenna, to a car club galathe perfect place to finally come clean about who I really waswhen she snatched the keys from my hand.

Alex, she said, her voice a little too bright. A buddy of mine, his crew is doing a cruise through town. Do you think we could borrow your car? Just to make an impression.

I froze. Jenna, this car was nearly four million dollars. Its not really something I can just lend out.

Her eyes immediately welled up. You cant do this one thing for me? He never asks for anything.

Before I could answer, a guy with electric blue hair strolled into my private garage, nodding at Jenna.

Jenna, baby. This the boyfriend with the lame-ass driving skills you were telling me about?

My fists clenched. Who let you in here?

He shrugged, a smirk playing on his lips. Jenna, your boyfriend doesnt even know who I am? Im Ryder Stone. You know, the champion of this years Apex Rally?

His words hit me like a physical blow.

Funny, I didnt remember my three-time championship title being interrupted by this clown.

Jenna tossed the keys to Ryder. He didnt hesitate, sliding into the drivers seat and firing up the engine with a guttural roar.

Get out. I grabbed the edge of the scissor door. This is my car.

He just laughed, ignoring me completely.

Jennas voice softened, turning pleading. Alex, Ive never asked you for anything

For a split second, I felt a pang of weakness. But then I remembered the old saying: never lend out your car or your girl. My resolve hardened. No.

I pulled out my phone to call the police, but Jenna snatched it, hiding it behind her back. Her eyes were red as she turned on me. Do you have to make this so ugly? Whats the big deal if they borrow it for a couple of days?

Ryder, still in my car, sneered and pulled out his own phone. You wanna play it that way? He yelled into the receiver, Boys! Get in here and check out the big shots ride!

The garage door slid open, and two guys reeking of stale beer stumbled in. One was bald with a mess of tattoos, the other wore a hideous Hawaiian shirt. They were holding selfie sticks.

Yo, whats up, livestream! the bald one shouted into his phone. Check it out, a multi-million-dollar Koenigsegg! Were about to show you how the other half lives!

In the chaos, Ryder gunned the engine.

Get out! I lunged for the door, but the two goons grabbed me, holding me back.

Ryder was laughing for his online audience. Drop a hundred in the tip jar and Ill get this baby up to one-fifty for you!

Stop it! I roared, struggling against their grip.

Whats the rush? The bald guy shoved his selfie stick in my face. Say hi to the camera! Lets show everyone what the owner of a four-million-dollar car looks like when hes being a little bitch!

The chat feed exploded with a stream of bile:

Damn, he looks like a Ken doll with a stick up his ass. So cheap.

Look at that loser. Bet he drives it like a grandma.

Whered a punk like that get that kind of money? Daddy a crooked politician?

Nah, hes definitely some rich cougars boy toy.

Let him go! Jennas voice cut through the noise.

A wave of relief washed over me. I thought she was finally coming to her senses.

But then she said, Alex, you should stand there and learn how a real pro drives! When it comes to skill, youre not even worthy of washing his tires!

I stared at her, the words not computing. This was the woman I had loved for two years? Id kept my real identity a secret, yes, but my love for her had been the truest thing in my life. How could she say that?

Ryder honked the horn victoriously from inside the cockpit. The car screeched forward, and he started doing tight, aggressive donuts in the spacious garage, the smell of burning rubber filling the air.

See that? The guy in the Hawaiian shirt slapped my back so hard I almost fell over. Thats a burnout, buddy! Something a putz like you who only knows how to cruise has never experienced.

Jenna was frowning at me from the side. Alex, why are you making that face? Cant you just be a good sport about this?

Ryder slammed on the brakes, the car executing a perfect, beautiful drift before stopping inches from us. How was that, Jenna? Better than your boyfriend, huh?

Jenna actually giggled. Way better. Youre so much better than him.

Ryders laugh was greasy and loud. Oh yeah? I bet Im better in other ways, too.

Jenna playfully swatted at the air. Oh, stop it! she said, giving him a sultry look that made my stomach turn.

A hot rage flooded my veins. What the hell is going on between you two? I demanded.

Jenna rolled her eyes at me like I was an idiot. I told you, were just friends.

Youre just friends with these guys? A woman, with a crew like this? Do you have any concept of boundaries?

Her expression soured. Are you from the Stone Age? Why are you so damn old-fashioned? You cant even take a joke. Why cant you be more like Ryder and his friends?

I was trembling with fury. Be like them? You want me to be a thief who steals other peoples property?

Ryder heard me. His face hardened. He stomped on the accelerator, and the Koenigsegg shot toward one of the massive concrete support pillars of the garage.

He swerved at the last possible second, the carbon fiber body missing the pillar by a whisper.

Ahh! Jenna screamed, but it was a scream of exhilaration. Ryder, that was so cool!

The bald guy and his friend whooped and cheered. Ryder, youre a legend!

The livestream chat was a waterfall of digital gifts and emojis.

Ryder was beaming, pointing at me. Jenna, whats the point of being with a coward like this? Let me take you for a real ride. He leaned over and pushed open the passenger door.

And then, the moment that shattered everything. Jenna ran towards the car, her face lit up with pure joy.

Jenna! I yelled, my voice raw. If you get in that car with him, we are done!

She paused, her face clouded with annoyance. Oh, my God, you are unbelievable. Im just going for a spin with a champion driver. Youd break up with me over that? Ill be back in a little while. Can you stop being such a baby?

Without another look at me, she slid into the passenger seat. Ryder let out a triumphant laugh, gave me a downward-pointing thumbs-up, and floored it. The car vanished out of the garage in a blur of motion and a scream of engine noise.

Whoa, did you see that, people? the bald guy said, pointing his camera back at my stunned face. The owner is just standing there like a statue! His girlfriend just took off with the champ!

The Hawaiian shirt guy nudged me with his elbow. Hey, man, dont take it so hard. Jenna and our boy Ryder, theyre a perfect match. Youre just you know, the opening act.

I ground my teeth, my jaw aching.

I was about to reach for my phonemy real phone, from my other pocketwhen I saw the screen of the bald guys phone. It had switched to Ryders point-of-view, clearly being filmed by Jenna. The camera was angled on Ryders profile as he expertly shifted gears and weaved through traffic.

This car is insane, folks! he shouted over the engine noise.

A total waste on that loser owner!

Jennas voice, full of adoration, chimed in. Go faster, Ryder! Faster!

You got it, baby! Hold on tight!

The two goons watched, mesmerized, occasionally glancing over to mock me.

Hey, Jenna told us youre working with a real toothpick down there. Is that true?

The bald guy cackled. Oh, I heard! Just like his drivinglimp and boring!

The words were so vile, so degrading. I didnt know if they were making it up or if Jenna had actually said that about me. Either way, it was unbearable.

Shut up, I snarled through clenched teeth.

Ooh, defensive, are we? the Hawaiian shirt guy added. Why else do you think shes so close with Ryder? He knows how to perform, if you know what I mean. Hahaha!

On the screen, Ryder was steering with one hand. His other hand it moved and draped itself around Jennas shoulders.

She didnt push him away. Instead, she giggled and leaned into him, resting her head on his shoulder.

Whoa! Weve got live-action romance, people! the bald guy yelled into his phone.

Then, Jenna tilted her head up and planted a kiss on Ryders cheek. He laughed, turning his head to catch her lips in a deep, sloppy kiss.

My brain short-circuited. A girlfriend who would do that? Why was I even hesitating? It was over.

What was I waiting for? An engraved invitation to my own public humiliation?

There was something naggingly familiar about Ryders arrogant face. I knew Id seen him somewhere before, and it definitely wasnt on a rally podium.

While the two goons were distracted by the livestream, I discreetly pulled up some information on Ryder Stone. And what I found was very, very interesting.

I dialed 911. Hello, my Koenigsegg has been stolen by a man named Ryder Stone. Hes currently driving recklessly through the city, speeding

Before I could finish, the bald guy rushed me, slapping the phone out of my hand. Fuck! You little snitch, you actually called the cops?!

You really dont know when to quit! He stomped on my phone, crushing it on the concrete floor. The Hawaiian shirt guy grabbed me in a chokehold and dragged me backward while the bald one quickly called Ryder.

Less than five minutes later, the Koenigsegg screeched back into the garage. Ryder leaped out, storming toward me, and drove his fist straight into my gut.

You want to die, you piece of shit?

Jenna walked up to me then. She didnt check if I was okay. She didnt show a flicker of concern. Instead, she slapped me hard across the face. Alex! You coward! It was a small thing, did you really have to blow it up like this?

I clutched my stomach, the pain a white-hot nova. I looked at the woman I once loved, her face now twisted into an ugly, unfamiliar mask.

Ryder spat on the floor and grabbed a fistful of my hair. Looks like we have to teach you a lesson you wont forget. Tie him up!

I struggled, but it was two against one.

Ryder, what do we do now? the bald guy asked.

Before Ryder could answer, the doorbell to the main house rang. A flicker of hope ignited in me. I tried to make a sound.

Ryders face changed, and he shot me a venomous look. Jenna, you go talk to them. He then nodded to the Hawaiian shirt guy. You go with her. Make it look convincing.

I could hear a police officers voice through the door. We received a report about a stolen vehicle?

The Hawaiian shirt guys voice, suddenly friendly and calm, answered. Oh, that was me, officer! Total misunderstanding! My friend just took the car out without asking, and I kind of freaked out and called you guys. He just brought it back. Everythings fine now.

Jenna immediately backed him up. My boyfriend just has a bit of a temper!

The police saw the car, parked and undamaged. They took some notes and left.

The second the door closed, their true natures returned. They dragged me out from behind a stack of storage bins and threw me to the ground. Ryder kicked me hard in the stomach, and my vision swam with black spots.

Jenna stood a few feet away, arms crossed, watching with cold indifference.

Hey, tough guy, the Hawaiian shirt guy sneered, squatting down to pat my cheek. Not so tough now, are you? Did you learn your lesson?

They had gagged me, so I couldnt scream the curses I was thinking, but I made sure my eyes conveyed all the hatred I felt.

Ooh, still defiant? the bald one grinned. Boys, I think he needs a little something extra to help him cool off.

Ryder grinned cruelly and started to unbuckle his pants. I've been holding it in. Thought I'd give you a taste of some golden champagne, cool you off!

A hot, foul stream rained down on me, soaking my hair and shirt. The humiliation was so absolute, so suffocating, I nearly passed out.

Hahaha! The two goons roared with laughter.

Jenna actually let out a snort of amusement. Ryder is a rally champion. Its an honor for him to even drive your car. You really dont know whats good for you.

Ryder zipped up his pants and kicked me again. Cant handle that? Oh, the fun is just getting started. He motioned to his friends. Go to town on him. Dont hit the face, but make sure he remembers this. Teach him some respect.

A storm of fists and feet descended on my back, my stomach, my ribs. I curled into a ball, each blow punctuated by their vile taunts and crazed laughter.

Think youre hot shit with your fancy car?

Useless coward!

And through it all, Jenna never said a word to stop them.

When they finally got tired, they stopped. Ryder nudged me with his shoe. Kid, let this be a lesson. Were taking the car. If you dare call the cops again, itll be a lot worse than a beating and a golden shower. Got it?

The Hawaiian shirt guy asked, Ryder, what about him?

Ryder stretched, satisfied. Just leave him tied up. Keep him out of trouble.

Jenna added, Yeah, that way we can have some fun for a couple of days without him bothering us.

Ryder wrapped his arm around Jennas waist. Lets go, baby. I know a place where we can have a real good time.

Just as they were about to leave, there was a sharp, authoritative knock at the door.

The laughter died instantly.

Ryders face soured. Dont tell me the cops came back.

His friends looked nervous, exchanging glances.

Quick! Shove him back there!

They scrambled to drag me back into the corner, behind the storage bins.

Just before they stuffed the gag back in my mouth, I yelled at Ryder, Your good times are over!

My words made him pause, then his face contorted with rage. He rushed over and kicked me viciously one last time. You son of a bitch! You dare curse me? Ill deal with you later!

The moment the door opened, the smile on Ryders face froze. He stood there as if hed been turned to stone.
