My social media had blown up. It was now three months since I saw the formula 1 drivers and my brother.

I got a TikTok account where me and the other drivers fooled around with dancing trends and it became a hit.

I also got over a million followers on instagram.

I had travelled to exotic countries when I wasn't driving.

I was living life perfectly.

Well, until I saw Lando and his team had announced that he was dating some model.

I didn't have the right to be jealous or sad. We didn't really have anything back then. Not really.

I had told Max about the few kisses Lando and I had shared. I came clean to him and he had since then given Lando a hard time.

Max forgave me eventually, but not immediately.

But today I was meeting up with Kelley, Charlotte and Isa. All of them flew in to see me.

We had girl trips and dates together. At least once a month. It became our thing. Which was funny considering I really hadn't seen any of the guys in over three months.

We were now at this cafe where the girls told about Lando's new girlfriend Nora.

I faked my excitement and cheeriness. We ate lunch and talked about the guys I had been hooking up with while traveling around the world to race.

"There was this one guy, he was actually pretty cool" I said and Kelley eyed me.

"But do you like him?" Kelley asked and the others looked at me. "No? Is that necessary?" I asked sheepishly.

"Nat! Of course it is!" Isa bursted out.

"How did you know you loved your boyfriends?" I ask. I have had sort of boyfriends, I just never loved them. At least I didn't think so.

"When you know you know" Charlotte said with a wink and I groaned.

"We will find you one who is not a F1 driver" Kelley insisted and patted me on the back.

I raised my head to glare at her words and she smiled innocently. "He told you didn't he?" I ask her and she winked innocently.

"Who told who what?" Isa asked leaning forward on her elbows.

"I sense gossip" Charlotte cheered and leaned forward as well.

"Well, we should applause your acting skills. Because miss Verstappen here had a fling with Lando and it ended months ago" Kelley tells them and I hold a finger up to pause and correct her.

"We did not! Have a fling, it was nothing, but we kissed a few times, but no feelings involved" I say and she scoffs.

"Lies" Kelley says and I roll my eyes.

"Whatever. There was nothing in it from my side" I say and lean back in my chair.

Suddenly my phone went off. I pulled it out of my pocket and saw Kai's name.

I answered and said hello.

"Nat, I need you to get back to your hotel room, some pictures and stories were leaked and you need to get back to the hotel, now" Kai said urgently.

"What? What pictures and stories?" I ask confused. The girls got their attention on me as I said that.

I looked around and indeed saw some curious eyes and a few paparazzi's outside of the Café.

"Pictures of your beaten face as well as Max' and stories from past friends and acquaintances. They know about your father, and your family's history. You need to leave that Café now" Kai said and I got up.
