❝ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ'ꜱ ᴏɴʟʏ ʀᴏᴏᴍ ꜰᴏʀ ᴏɴᴇ ʟɪᴏɴ ʜᴇʀᴇ, ᴅᴀʀʟɪɴɢ.❞ - 𝐕𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐋𝐨𝐞𝐰𝐞 was born to race. 𝐌𝐚𝐱 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧 was born to win. Together, they're a disaster waiting to happen. As a female driver in Formula 1, Vivian has spent her entire career proving she deserves a place in the most prestigious motorsport. She doesn't just want to compete - she wants to win. There's just one problem - her new teammate, Max Verstappen. Max is just as ruthless, just as fast, and just as determined to take the championship for himself. From the moment they're forced into the same team, sparks fly - and not the good kind. Every overtake is a challenge, every press conference a battlefield, every stolen glance a betrayal waiting to happen. They are rivals. They are teammates. And, against every rule, they are falling for each other. Loving him could cost her everything.

At the pinnacle of his Formula 1 career, Max has everything he's ever dreamed of-victories, fame, and speed. But as he chases glory on the track, his childhood sweetheart and wife, Mila, is left behind in the shadows of his success. What begins as quiet neglect spirals into heartbreak, pushing Mila to make the hardest choice of all: walking away. Faced with the wreckage of the only love he's ever known, Max must decide if he's willing to fight for more than just championships-and whether it's already too late to win back the woman who once believed in him. "You're on your own kid, you always have been."

Upon her laughing at my struggle, a smile naturally creeps onto my face. "Sorry. What I mean to say is I would like for you to come with me. If you come, you could finally know what my job is." She grins widely. "Because you are not a mechanic, but you won't tell what your real job is." "Exactly, but if you come..." She presses her lips together and then pouts slightly. "I can't." My smile drops. "I'm sorry, Max, my flight leaves Thursday morning." Disappointed, I shrug in an attempt to play it casual. "It's okay," I say softly, and she scrunches her nose at the pet name. "But tell me the truth, would you have come if you were staying longer?" She smiles widely and I mimic her. "Depends, would you continue acting like an asshole?" I chuckle. I know she will never let that go, and weirdly it brings me joy because that means that she will never forget the day we met. And I don't want her to forget it because it is forged forever in my mind. I am bound by that day, but if I am bound, she should be too. I want us to be bound forever by that day. "Maybe. Depends if you will text me this time." "Then maybe." With a grin on my face, I reply, "Maybe is good enough for now." A lie. Truly, maybe is not enough, but I will wait for her forever if it is necessary. I barely know her, but I want her to like me at least a portion of how much I like her because her mere presence makes me happy, and I believe I have the same effect on her. ------------------------------- Two pressured souls to succeed, longing for love.
