Horner's Daughter- A Lewis Hamilton Fanfiction

Chapter 7- Shadows of Doubt

Lewis' POV:
Lewis Hamilton lay in bed, the weight of disappointment heavy on his chest. The sting of losing to Max Verstappen at the Grand Prix lingered in his mind, a bitter reminder of the relentless pursuit of perfection in Formula 1.

As he scrolled through his phone, he stumbled upon videos from the Red Bull party, images of Max and Charlotte together flashing across the screen. Quickly, he averted his gaze, not wanting to subject himself to the pain of witnessing their closeness any longer.

In the early hours of the morning, before the sun had even begun to rise, Lewis roused himself from sleep for his usual early workout. As he went through his routine, his thoughts drifted to a message from his friend Sebastian Vettel.

Sebastian had jokingly inquired about the rumors surrounding Charlotte and Max, poking fun at Christian Horner's dedication to Red Bull. Lewis responded with a lighthearted reply, masking the turmoil brewing within him. But curiosity got the better of him, and he clicked on the link Sebastian had sent.

His heart sank as he delved into the sea of articles, each one painting a picture of Max and Charlotte's alleged romance. Stories of stargazing, whispered confessions, and secret rendezvous flooded the screen, accompanied by images of Christian Horner laughing jovially beside the pair.

Doubt crept into Lewis' mind as he read through the articles, his heart heavy with the weight of realization. Of course, Charlotte would choose Max—he was a Red Bull driver, after all. How could he ever have been so foolish to believe that the daughter of Christian Horner could have feelings for him?

With a heavy sigh, Lewis powered through his workout, channeling his frustration and disappointment into each movement. He knew he needed to focus on the upcoming race, to push aside the distractions and doubts that threatened to consume him.

As he finished his workout, the sun began to peek over the horizon, casting long shadows across the room. And as Lewis turned off his phone and prepared to face the day ahead, he couldn't shake off the lingering sense of regret that gnawed at his heart.
