Hard out here | Carlos Sainz Jr

Chapter 9

Giovanna was excited. Her latest project was almost done, all that was left was mastering the song and hoping it sounds good to others.

It would be different this time, she'd be releasing music on her own accord without a perverted producer and executive breathing down her neck.

For that, she'd be forever be grateful to Mr, Miller, Isla's dad. For the first time Giovanna worked in the music industry, she never released the music she wanted to release.

Sure, she likes the music she made which put her on the charts but it was restricted. So when her contract with her record label ended in 2020, she left as fast as she could.

If it were up to her, Giovanna would have given up after her first year of making music. But she signed a four year contract so she had to wait it up.

For the longest time, Gio wanted nothing to do with music. It brought back painful memories of her experiences with producers that she didn't want to relive.

She was stuck in a horrible place after the death of her uncle and the father of her child leaving her alone to fend for herself. She didn't see life like she used to. She stopped seeing the beauty in everything.

So she stopped writing songs. But meeting Carlos changed everything for her. He made her laugh more in the first week that they met than she ever did the entire year.

She was finally able to answer questions like, "How are you?" without having to lie. Sure she was far from getting over her depression but she was working towards it.

None of her friends or family members knew. According to them, Gio had mourned her uncle and safely coped with his death. None of them knew of her depression.

It was better that way.

Giovanna had wrapped it up and left to the bathroom. The pains in her stomach had stopped but her condition hadn't resolved itself yet so she still had to take it easy.

She quickly took a shower before going back to bed. If Carlos woke up to her doing something she wasn't supposed to be doing, Gio knew she'd get scolded.

"Ugh." Giovanna groaned as soon as she got into bed. She was already bored out of her mind. Deciding to cure her boredom with twitter, she picked up her phone from the bedside table.

Formula 1 twitter was buzzing. It amazed her how clueless everyone was.

Carlos walked in Giovanna's room only to find her cackling to herself. Her hand covered her mouth while her hair covered her face. Carlos tilted his head with confusion, it was clear that Gio was laughing at something on her phone.
