Lewis Hamilton POV

"How are you trying to fix it? There's no fix for that. You can't get a divorce, people will know" Angela says after the shock wore off. They took minutes to react.

"I'm filling out for an annulment when I get back to London. I could only find her yesterday" I say but Toto shakes his head.

"Are you in a relationship?" He asks and I take a deep breath.

"No" I answer knowing what was coming next.

"Then why don't you two try the married life? Is she unattractive? That is important. Bad personality?" He says and I just shake my head.

"She is pretty and from what I've been remembering from that night and what we talked about, she had a nice personality. I just don't want a divorce and I believe marriage should be made of love and truthfulness." I say and Angela laughs.

"Marriage is a lot but maybe this was fate. Is she from London too?" She asks and I nod. "You two never met in the city you were born and raised in. You met in Las Vegas and, after a lot of drinks, you decided you wanted to get married. The drink only gave you the courage to do what you wouldn't do sober. Maybe give her a chance. Bring her to a race, spend one of the weekends with her and see how it goes. You can annul it after"

"Unfortunately that isn't a possibility, she lives with her parents and is very limited on where she goes and when. That's out of the picture" I say and they look worried.

"Is she being abused or something? Now I feel bad for her. Nobody should live like that. How old is she?" Valtteri asks.

"She is 25 from what I know. But her best friend told me that she is very restricted and we had to schedule a day so she can leave the house and sign the papers" I say and they seem concerned.

"Maybe you should look more into it when you see her. You would benefit from a woman by your side. I mean you have us and Roscoe but a wife is not even similar in terms of support and all that" Toto says and I nod.

"Let's get ready for practice" I say and they nod.

It was stressful. 3 races in a row were always more tiring. Belgium got me 3rd place, the Netherlands got me a 2nd but Italy was shit, I did not finish and it was the first time I retired from a race since 2018 so I was pissed off but I can't change it. I got to London the next day and did some exercise and hung out in the house with Roscoe. I picked up the pics from the marriage. We looked happy. We looked pretty good together too.

Nah, loneliness won't make me stay married to someone I don't know. Maybe Alison was just exaggerating, maybe it isn't that bad and she likes it at home. The next day I spent the morning training because I was a bit nervous to meet her in the afternoon. Alison texted me saying they were going to have lunch close to the coffee shop and invited me to tag along. Probably so we could talk. Was she able to get out of the house earlier without a prior warning? Weird.

I got there faster than I should have because I saw them walking in and Alison smiled at me but I think Abby didn't notice.

"So he just told you to leave?" She asks while slowly walking to the table I was at.

"He did, I got scared so I just dressed up and called you. Do you think she will be fine?" I hear Abby saying worried and she shrugs.

"I mean, she attacked you first. I hope she is fine but I'm worried for you. Are you okay? Do you want some ice? You will get bruised" She says and I think she noticed I was listening.

"Hello there" I say with an awkward smile, Abby stops looking at Alison, looks at me, and freezes.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't know you were here. I'm Abby as you must know" She says and I shake her hand with a smile. She was definitely cute.

"No problem. Alison sent me a text and I got here too early clearly" I say but she shakes her head.

"I had to stop at home, we had an emergency" Alison says shrugging and I nod.

"Is everything okay? Did something happen at home?" I ask as she sat in front of me and Alison by her side.

"Hm- I'm fine thank you for asking" She says with a small smile.

"Do you have any painkillers in your car? I had none and at my house, I had no luck. We were going to the pharmacy after lunch and all the paperwork but I think it will get too late" Alison says and Abby widens her eyes.

"Did any of you get hurt?" I ask worried but I think I knew what the answer was going to be, sadly.

"I hurt myself in my back, I fell. I'm fine though" Abby says but the waiter appears and we order. Our order was similar and I give her a small smile.

"Did you hurt yourself or someone did it? We should be honest with each other" I say and she looks down.

"Her mom threw a plate at her back when they were fighting. Her dad told her to get out so they could talk. It's not looking good" Alison says and Abby shushes her but to no avail.

"It was a silly fight. I just- I'm fine. This is not a pity party for me. I'm fine. I will be able to sign whatever you need me to" She says and I shake my head.

"I'm worried for you. You are 25, you should get out of there" I say and she lets out a laugh.

"It's easy to talk when you know what you love and you have skills. I have nowhere to go, and no skills to survive. I have been isolated all my life, if I wanted to do something with my life I should've done it years ago. Now it's too late. I can't live with my best friend forever" She says and I nod.

That's a tough subject, maybe I should just be quiet and talk about other stuff. I don't know how her life is and I can't put myself in her place because it's the opposite of my life. But I can't help but feel this could be something, something way better and bigger.
