The Goddess of the Speedway

J's night shift duty is almost over and soon it is her two days off again. These past few days, Jacob has been working overnight and sleeping with her during the day. J has become used to it. For some reason, sleeping in Jacob's arms gives her a sense of tranquility. His distinct scent and warmth give her the most soothing sleep.

But once in a while she would flinch and remind herself that she should not feel this, she should not get used to this.

So after her night duty that day, she went home, got some sleep, and while Jacob is still asleep she sneaked out of the apartment. She has decided to give herself some space to prevent her from having a much deeper affection towards Jacob.

After an hour she is now driving her sports car while on her stereo, Kane Brown's Good As You is playing. Kane Brown is one of her favorite Country singers because she finds his voice sexy.

Finally, she reached her destination, Lotus City Motor Speedway. The guard instantly recognized her car and made a salute although the guard has never seen the driver once. She headed directly into a garage that is specifically provided for her.

A couple of minutes later she is now wearing a racing helmet, racing suits, racing gloves, and racing shoes. She walked over to a blue race car with a number 88 decals and the name The Black Heiress on its windshield. She is walking side by side with her Team Manager Buck, who was with her ever since she started racing.

She started as a part-time race car driver when she was overseas at an age of 15 with the help of Buck who is also a member of The Robin Hood Society. She became famous back then as The Black Heiress because of her mysterious approach. She never appeared in public without her helmets on. She never revealed her identity and personal information. Whenever she appeared in the newspaper and magazine she always wore her helmet and she used the name Black Heiress. It was easy to hide her identity with the help of Buck. She became more famous when she won the Rookie of the Year at the age of 17 and the Young Racer Award the next year.

When she came back to Lotus City, she continued her passion for racing. She became more prominent in Lotus City because she is the only female professional race car driver in the country. She joined a couple of series and has always been on the top five although she was just racing for leisure.

It has been a couple of months since she visited the speedway. This is very timely since she needed to do something to divert her attention. Driving and racing have been her second love after nursing. If she wasn't a nurse, she would probably become a full-time professional race car driver.

Meanwhile in Jade's apartment. Jacob woke up to find Jenny's spot empty. He quickly got up and scanned the whole apartment but didn't find her. He took his phone to call her but after a couple of rings, she didn't answer. Where could she be? A mix of panic and vex overcome him. He tried to calm down and think of a place where she might be. He called James to see if she came back to the hospital but she is not there. He called Miss Eve but said that she never went there, but gave him an idea that she might go into a home for the aged that she usually visits every end of the month day off. He was able to get the number of the home for the aged and look for Miss Nancy, but to his dismay, she was not there but Miss Nancy said that they are expecting her to visit tomorrow.

He only had one place left and that is Lantana Province, but finding her there is like finding a needle in a haystack. Their meeting at Lantana Province last time was purely out of luck. He tried to call her again but after trying three times, she still didn't answer.

It's been an hour and still, he has no idea where to find her. He never felt this scared before. He fears that she might not come back and that thought made him feel hollow. It's like a part of him will miss.

Finally, he decided to call Drew. "Hey man! What's up?" Drew said in between panting. Jacob frowned and asked, "Where are you?"

"Ah… a-at home. Why?" Drew said, still panting. Then Jacob heard a woman moaning on the other line.

"Damnit, Drew! Could you finish your personal stuff first before answering my call!" Jacob said irritatingly then hung up the phone.

Drew is a private investigator but acts more like a top-notched manwhore.

After a couple of minutes Jacob's phone rings. "What's up?" Drew said as if nothing happens.

"You fucking asshole! Don't you ever answer my call again in the middle of sex!" Jacob was fuming with anger.

Drew laughed and mockingly said, "Hey! You're acting like you haven't had sex for a year. What's your problem?"

Jacob calmed himself down and said, "I want you to find someone for me. And I want a result within an hour."

Drew was skeptical, "Do you think I am a soothsayer? I am an investigator, Jacob. INVESTIGATOR." he emphasized his last word.

"Who do you want me to find?" Drew asked

"Jenny Do," Jacob answered immediately.

"J-Jenny Do? Are you fucking kidding me? What do you want from my goddess? Huh?" Drew was distrustful.

Jacob became irksome, "Who are you calling "My Goddess"?" dark clouds formed around him.

"Uhm...Jenny Do. My Goddess. Known as The Goddess of Speedway." Drew sensed a change in Jacob's mood.

"Drew, you dare call my wife your goddess again and I'll cut your baby maker into pieces with a scalpel and shove them all down your throat," Jacob said in a hair-raising tone that gave chills in the spine of Drew.

"Y-you're wife? J-Jenny Do is your wife? Since when? How did it happen?" Drew was confused.

"That is none of your business. Now answer me. What do you know about her?" he replied impatiently.

Drew was startled.

"Uhm... Jenny Do's identity is a bit tricky. She's a famous sports car driver. Well, actually she is famous as The Black Heiress. No one knows her name, identity, or how she looks. She never appears in the public without her helmet. Never accepts interviews or endorsements. Although some said that she was seen driving a blue sports car but that was just a rumor."

Jacob remembered when she accidentally bumped with her driving a blue sports car in Lantana Province. So, she owned that car?

"How did you find out her name?" Jacob asked Drew.

"In case you forgot, I am a private investigator. Isn't that why you called me?" Drew replied. Jacob could imagine him rolling his eyes. "Well, it took me three years to find her name. Aside from that, I have no other information about her. I don't know where she lives, where she works, or where she's from." Drew said that with disappointment.

"But I think I know at least one place where she might be..." Drew paused for a minute.

Jacob's interest was piqued.

"Lotus City Motor Speedway."

After he heard that Jacob immediately hangs up and rushed out of the apartment to the basement parking. Soon he is on his way to Lotus City Motor Speedway.

J was having her laps when in the corner of her eyes she saw a familiar figure watching her. She felt her heartbeat become faster and louder. Louder than the sound of the engine of her race car. How did he find her? She became more conscious so she finished her laps before she became out of control.

Buck met her and asked, "What happened?"

J shakes her head with the helmet still on and says, "Nothing. I'm not in my condition. I have to go."

Buck was speechless and was left scratching his head.

Jacob saw a woman in a helmet who got out of a Blue Race Car with the name The Black Heiress in the windshield. Drew said that she is known as The Black Heiress in the racing industry so he assumed that that woman is his wife. He rushed over to meet her.

J was frozen to see Jacob standing in the hallway in front of her dressing room. How did he know it was her? She calmed down and tried to ignore him as she continued walking towards her dressing room.

When she passed through him, she suddenly felt a hand on her wrist. She was surprised to see Jacob holding her wrist and said, "Jenny." with a dark look.

J realized it was no point hiding so after making sure that no one is around she takes off her helmet.

As she takes off her helmet her long black hair falls on her face, she shakes her head to instantly fix it. Jacob was dazed at that beautiful site. It was as if everything was in slow motion.

As soon as he was sure that it was Jenny in front of him, he let out a sigh of relief and suddenly engulfed her in his embrace.

J was surprised by his action. She tried to loosen from his embrace but Jacob tightened instead. J sighed in defeat. They stayed in that position for a couple of seconds. J was speechless, she was supposed to be there to give herself space from Jacob, and yet here she is locked up in Jacob's arms.

"I was worried when I couldn't find you." Jacob sighed.

J felt his sincerity. In a way, she felt guilty. "How did you find me?" J asked.

"I have my way," Jacob answered then he released J from his embrace.

J waited for Jacob to ask her why she left without telling him and what she is doing here in the speedway but he didn't. Just like when she accidentally crashed into his SUV with her sports car, he didn't ask her about the car.

J reminded herself why she went here and where she is supposed to go after this. She can't let Jacob follow her so she made an excuse and said, "I-I'll just change in my dressing room."

Jacob nodded and waited for J outside the dressing room.

A couple of minutes passed but J didn't appear. Jacob narrowed his eyes and knocked on the door. After a couple of knocks and J didn't answer Jacob forcefully opened the door with his body and found the room empty. He scanned the whole room and found a door that leads exactly to the VIP parking area.

Damn that girl! Jacob clenched his fist until it turned pale. He went towards the guard and asked if he saw a blue sports car leave the parking. The guard confirmed it and said that it left just ten minutes ago.
