My bags are packed and now I just have to say goodbye. I've only bought the one-way tickets, I have enough money to get by and buy what I need, I'm going to find a job to support myself and enjoy the life I deserve.

Monaco, here I come!

- Bye, sweetie - my mother was already regretting that I was leaving - Don't forget to text me all the time so I know how you're doing!

- I won't, don't worry - I said as I kissed her forehead.

- I've already sent a message to my friend and he'll give you a temporary job so you can support yourself until you get what you want, daughter - my father came into the living room after leaving the office, where he was on a call with Toto, a friend of his who I consider an uncle - Send my love to Lewis for me, sweetie!

- Count on me, dad! ‐ gave him a hug and headed for the taxi I had called.

- We love you, daughter! - my parents shouted, doing their usual drama.

- I love you more! - I shouted back as I got into the car, heading for the airport.

Time to be the teenager I never was.

🏎

- Calling flight 612! - a voice echoed over the loudspeakers and then I made my way to my flight.

Even though my family is rich and can afford everything I want, I dream of having my own financial independence. Of course, sometimes I use my parents' money, but soon everything will change and I'll only use my own money.

When I got on the plane, I found my seat and sat down, adjusted myself and decided to sleep so that the time would pass more quickly.

When I got off the plane, I saw my uncle holding a sign with my name on it, although I hadn't seen him in person for a long time.

- Uncle Toto! - I hugged him longingly - Good to see you!

- I'll say the same, sweetheart - he held me even tighter in his embrace - Come on, I'll take you to the apartment - he said as he let go of me - I took the liberty of taking one of my apartments here and giving it to you since I had no use for it.

- Really? - I was in shock, it's such a gift to have a place of my own to stay - Thank you so much! I can't thank you enough - I was so happy.

- No need to thank me, I love my niece and would do anything to see her happy! - I said as we walked to the car.

I could see a lot of flashes in our direction but I didn't care, the media already know me as Toto Wolff's borrowed niece, so there's nothing to worry about.

- Just have fun, you know how much I've supported this idea of yours since you were only sixteen - he said as he started the car - Put on some music for us to listen to, it's free.

I laughed a little at his more jovial than usual language and then connected the bluetooth to my cell phone to use Spotify.

- What do you want to hear, uncle? - he asked as I scrolled down the main page of the music app.

- AC/DC! Reminisce about old times.

That said, I put Highway to Hell on and soon we were singing along and enjoying the sound. The playlist continued playing classics such as Back To Black, Thunderstruck, T.N.T. and many others.

🏎

Already in my new room for the next few months, maybe years, I went to bed exhausted. My uncle had already left because he had a meeting with Mercedes.
