"I'm not exactly comfortable with this, is there no other way that we could do this?" Max said as he looked at his lawyer. They were currently sat in a boardroom with his lawyers, the Wolff's lawyers and Toto.
After moving out last week Zara had decided to go ahead with the legal proceedings for custody. She'd wanted primary physical custody and was willing to give Max visitation rights, on the grounds that his father would not be around Emilia. Max didn't like this. He'd thought that this would be another one of their little tiffs and that she'd be back within the week but once he got an email from his lawyer on Monday he knew that she was serious about this.
"Unfortunately Ms Wolff has decided that she will not be joining us in any of these meetings. On that topic she's also added that she will not be accompanying Emilia on her visits to see you, instead a nanny or your mother, Ms. Sophie Kumpen, will accompany the child. " William, the main lawyer for Zara responded. The team of lawyers was less than pleased with Max as they had been with Zara since her early career days, therefore, anyone who did her any harm was not on their good side.
" I think it's best for us to continue these discussions at a later stage as you can see that our client was blindsided and still needs time to process all of this information. We will contact you once we have created our own terms for the agreement." Max's lawyer stepped in as Max was still clearly in shock.
"Very well, but please be aware that we'll only give you two weeks to do so before we take this matter to court. And I'm sure that neither of our clients would like that." With that the team of lawyers and Toto got up and left. Max quickly got up and followed them, ignoring his lawyer's calls.
"Toto, wait!" Max whisper yelled as he lightly jogged to where the Austrian stood by the elevator.
The Mercedes boss rolled his eyes as he told William and his team to go ahead without him.
"How can I help you Verstappen?" The taller man asked with his arms folded across his chest.
"Where is Zara? I haven't seen her or my child in almost a week. She knows that I can sue her for that right? Can you please just tell her to come home. She's just over doing it at this point." Max still believed that the argument was a small thing, something so small that it didn't have to have all this drama attached with it.
"Oh so you think that insinuating that my daughter is a whore and a liar is nothing to worry about. She's just simply reacting to your words Max. You made this mess, through your words and your actions, so now you must deal with it. I'll see you in Sochi. And I'd be careful if I were you, you've made a lot of enemies this past week. " Toto ended the conversation by stepping into the elevator, leaving Max stunned. It seems that every day he found out more about how much he'd hurt Zara. He'd truly become the monster he swore he'd never be.
