Rush Bound: Charles Leclerc

Seraphine Delacroix was born into legacy-cold marble, old money, and a family that taught her how to perform before they ever taught her how to love. Fame wasn't the dream. It was the rebellion.

Charles Leclerc was born into warmth-laughter, chaos, and a home that forgave easily. He grew up with Seraphine in Monaco. Best friends. First loves. Secret keepers. Until she left without a goodbye.

Seven years later, they meet again. Not in a garden. Not in a memory. But in a Ferrari campaign-her face on the screen, his name in the credits. She's everything he remembers and nothing he recognizes. He's everything she ran from and everything she still wants.

They don't speak.
Not at first.
But longing has a language. And heartbreak has a rhythm.

Rush Bound is a story of silence, survival, and the slow, aching climb back to each other. It's about fame, family, and the kind of intimacy that doesn't ask-it remembers.
