In the quaint town of Monaco, two childhood best friends, Charles and Avianna, have always had a special bond. Their parents would bring both of them to all the kart racing and formula races. Since then, the two have trained, grown, and dreamed together. They would imagine themselves being teammates, regardless of not winning any podiums or what team they will be part of. Because for them, nothing's more important than being on each other's side. As they grew, reality hit them. Opportunities for Charles have always been bigger than what the industry offers for Avianna. Charles and his passion and love for kart racing often got sponsorships, support, advanced training, and anything that one could think was necessary for his career as he pursued the world of Formula 1. Despite Avianna's talent and determination, she had to work a hundred times harder to prove herself as a female driver, as male drivers have long dominated moto sports like Formula 1. Their dreams, once intertwined on the same racetrack, now faced the stark reality of an uneven playing field. As Charles steps towards heights of success, Avianna struggles against the clock on the racetrack and the doubts of everyone around her dooming over her career. Avianna persisted, fueled not only by her love for racing but also by the unwavering support of Charles, who once believed in her. Avianna is driven more than ever to prove herself to everyone, especially to her ex-lover, Charles.

A single crash. That's all it took to erase her from his memory. Three seconds on track were enough to wipe away three years of love, triumph, and the life they built together. Now Charles Leclerc wakes up to a world where he's a Formula 1 World Champion-but he doesn't remember winning. He doesn't remember the woman standing just out of reach, the one who used to be everything: his strategist, his wife, the mother of his child... Christian Horner's daughter. Piece by piece, he's forced to rediscover how he got here. And maybe-if he's lucky-how to win her heart all over again.

Sticking around was never her intention. She just wanted to watch one race and the people around her made everything in their power to keep her there. The upside down came into her life once she accepted that job offer and started traveling around the world along with the Formula 1 teams. And it was not because the sport had its way of sucking you deep in its hellhole and bleeding you dry. It was all because of him. Because of his green eyes and his cute dimples she tried so hard to ignore and forget. "Will you stay if I tell you I love you?" she asked, her voice low and weak. He approached her and brought his hands to her cheeks. He wiped her tears with his thumbs as he held her face into his hands. "No, mon cœur. You're scared to love me, and hearing you say those words won't make me stay because I know they're not true. " (The story is a product of fiction.)

'It's easy to hate someone when you don't know their story. Before, I saw him as the one thing getting in my way, someone who breezed in and took everything from me with no good reason why. But I came to realise that both of us were carrying huge burdens, just fighting to keep steady. It turned out that we were more the same than I had ever thought possible.'

❝They hate each other.❞ ❝No, they don't. Not really.❞ Aurora Prince is no stranger to the relentless world of Formula 1, but 2025 marks her first season behind the wheel for Porsche-a chance she's fought tooth and nail to earn. On the surface, Aurora is the perfect image of determination, but behind closed doors, she's still mourning Ezra McAllister, her boyfriend who's been left braindead after a horrific F2 crash. The world believes he's gone, but Aurora carries the weight of his memory, a fire in her heart that fuels every lap she takes. Enter Charles Leclerc: Ferrari's golden boy, haunted by his own failures and fueled by the fear of falling short yet again. Their rivalry is instant, a clash of wills that lights up the track and sets the media ablaze. Aurora's sharp edges meet Charles's unyielding pride, and neither is willing to back down. But beneath the tension, there's an unspoken understanding-two souls fighting battles no one else can see. As Aurora's grief threatens to consume her and Charles's pressure mounts to unbearable heights, they find an unlikely anchor in one another. Aurora's unwavering determination shows Charles the courage to face his own demons, while Charles reminds her that even in the deepest darkness, there's still a flicker of light. They don't see it at first-the way their broken pieces fit together-but love has a way of sneaking in, even when it feels impossible. They'll come to know each other fully, completely, and fiercely: Heart and soul, skin and bones.

Slipping down a dark path can be pretty self-destructive. Especially when you can't come out. "I need you, Charles... I need you now". ---- Disclaimer/trigger warning: This story is not for underage readers.
