When royalty and racing collide, who will come out on top and who will be left in the dust?
Kathrine Montagne, Princess of Monaco, met Charles Leclerc, Monegasque Formula 1 driver, one fateful day. But will they be able to hold onto what is impor...
I plugged my phone in and turned it back on once I was settled on the jet. There were so many messages and missed calls.
Royal Pain👑- 15 missed calls
Papa💕- 8 missed calls
Maman💕- 10 missed calls
Charles🔥- 15 missed calls
Ines🌸 -5 missed calls
Lando🧡- 4 missed calls
Carlos🌶️- 4 missed calls
Daniel 💙- 6 missed calls
And the list went on with every one that I had befriended at Charles' yacht party reaching out through calls and texts. I wasn't even sure how the others had gotten my number other than through Charles. The first person I called was Alex.
"Hey," I said softly when he answered the facetime call.
"Are you safe?" was the first thing he asked.
I nodded. "Yes."
"What happened Kat? We were all worried sick. We saw the news that you left the gala early and without warning and we all didn't know what to think."
I grimace. "I don't want to talk about it."
"Was it?" Alex's eyes hardened.
I just nodded.
"I'm going to kick his ass! If I ever see his smug, douchebag face again-"
I cut him off. "I just needed to get away afterwards, and I didn't want to have to face everyone. But I think I might have messed everything up."
I explained how all of my new friends had been messaging and calling and how I was too afraid to respond to any of them so I was flying back to Monaco because that was where Charles had said he would be for a few days between the two races and if I couldn't find him there I was going to fly to Canada for the next race. Alex listened silently the whole time.
"You know I support you," he said once I finished. "I'll smooth things over with maman and father. Go do what you need to do as soon as you land but you might want to check the headlines. I don't know what is going to be waiting for you but it's always wise to prepare for anything."
I smiled gratefully. "You're the best brother a girl could ask for."
"I know, I know, I'm incredible. But seriously, be safe. I love you, I'll see you soon."
"I love you too."
Alex found out where Charles' apartment was and sent me the information. I took a deep breath, trying to prepare myself for whatever I was going to see before looking up the latest news.
