"You're buying Ferrari F1?" Lewis questioned and I shook my head no. "This deal had been made forty something years ago when my father was young and in charge. Over the years our family has been giving certain sums of money to the point where we have total control. So starting in 2021 I now own Ferrari F1 Team." I explained and everyone started cheering. 

"This is very good for us!" Carlos joked with Charles and they both started cracking up. 

"Well enough car talk we are going to go personal!" Will exclaimed. "So, anybody have new girlfriends, wives, or children?" Will asked and we all burst out laughing. "Relationships are the same." I replied. "Tia Scarlett!" rang through the house cutting me off. "Oh shoot! I said I would babysit Davi!" I exclaimed as Neymar entered the room fuming. "Why the fuck are you with all these men!" he yelled. "Hey, calm down." I whispered. "Can we have the room please?" I asked and everyone cleared out. 

"How could you be so fucking careless!" he yelled. "For fucks sake Neymar! You are really one to talk in this situation! I trust them with my life" I yelled back and then froze as Charles came running in. 

"Get out before I kill you with my bare hands." Neymar said coldly and slowly, "Who do you think you are barging in here and telling me what to do in technically my own house!" Charles exclaimed and Neymar snapped. "She's my sister! My  sister! So you might have known her your whole life, but she is my sister!" Neymar roared and the cat was out of the bag. The secret my family had worked so hard on trying to hide was out in the air , live, on camera. "I spend 20 years of my life keeping that a secret and all it takes is for you two to get in an argument for it to all go to shambles!" I hissed. 

"How about I help explained this situation." Uncle M suggested as he took a seat back on the couch and the drivers plus Will followed. 

"Twenty years ago at the Brazilian Grand Prix, the late Queen was pregnant with twin girls and she went into labor there. At the same time another family was having a baby, but had to give her up for adoption for reasons I don't know about. The Queen lost one of the twins, but it worked out that the girl being place for adoption looked so much like the royal family girls that they adopted her. So we thought we had buried that piece of history, but the years later when Neymar was getting famous new started circulating and he found out. Now here we are today and the whole world will know." Michael explained and I just nodded along with him. 

"Every secret about me is out! I am now an open book." I muttered. 

"Why wouldn't you tell us about this?" Lando asked. 

"Wait...you guys didn't know?" Lewis asked "I did." Kimi, Sebastian, and Daniel said in unison. "So you only told them! I see how it is, doesn't matter that we dated for four years!" Lando exclaimed. Kimi just scoffed, "Give the girl a break ok! She didn't even tell us, her father brought us into a meeting like a few months before he died and told us." Sebastian stated trying to clear the air. 

"Where are you going and for how long?" I asked Neymar who was fuming in a corner while trying to calm Davi down. "Juninho!" I called. "Huh? Oh...um, I'm going to Barcelona for training and my normal people who care for Davi are extremely busy, so could you bring him back in a week?" he begged. "I am the best Aunt in the whole world." I muttered as I smacked Neymar lightly on the head. "We need to talk!" Lewis pointed out and I whipped around. "Spill it." I huffed. "Some of the drivers think we need to take a step back away from you, because they don't want to be seen near some scandal." Kimi sneered at the other drivers. 

 I rolled my eyes, "I know who they are and they are just a bunch of leeches so they can get the fuck out of my life and house."I snapped and Charles walked first followed by Carlos, Lando, and Lewis. On the way out the door Charles ripped off his wring necklace and threw it at me and I ripped off my rings a threw them at him. They drivers disappeared through the doors and I probably would never see them walk through them again. 

"It's been nice, but Uncle Michale I'm putting you in charge of Monaco for awhile, so I can finish my hiatus." I stated. "Take as long as you need." he assured me. 

"ROMEO! Pack your bags we're going to Barcelona!" I called and this time Romeo did not come running. "Right." I whispered. A butler came down with suit case after suitcase and I grinned at the thought of being free again. 

"I'll see you guys soon and I won't forget to ever call." I said to the remaining drivers. "You really are the perfect family." I whispered. Max followed by Daniel, then Kimi, then Sebastian, and finally Michael gave me huge hugs before I walked out the door with my big brother. Just to get a small taste of freedom.
