"Does she know why you're really in the UK?"

Max looked up from his phone and turned to his right, Grace was seated in the back seat of the car with him, while Tom, and Bradley were in the front seats. They had just flown in from Japan where he won the championship and instead of going back to Monaco, he came to Milton Keynes. Marcy thinks he was here for something to do at the RB factory but that was just another lie he told her.

In the month and a half since they had been married, Max had lost count of the lies and secrets he has kept. But he was doing it to keep her safe, what she didn't know wouldn't hurt her.

"No," he said.

"Do you think she wouldn't support you if you told her the real reason?"

"It's just going to bring up so many painfully memories for her. She doesn't need that. It's my job to protect her even from assholes that are trying to destroy her." Max stated.

"Max, she still needs to know, you can't protect her from everything you know that right?" Grace stated.

He knew where Grace stood with how she felt about Max's decision to keep Marcy in the dark, but he also knew that telling Marcy about this or anything that he had learnt would only make her fret and worry. He knew he had to tell her one day, but he hoped he could keep it under wraps until he was home more to be there for her when he tells her everything.

"For now, let's just not talk about that." Max turned to look towards where Tom was seated. "Tom, what is it that he wanted in exchange for this meeting?"

"He wouldn't say, he just said, if I were to meet with Max then Max owes me." Tom look down at the folder that he was reading from.

"Right, because making sure he wasn't reported for trying to bride me wasn't enough?"

"He signed an NDA if he leaks anything we will bury him," Tom affirmed.

"Yes, but the damage would also be done." Max was not happy with this. "How many people do I have to give NDA's too before they stop coming for my wife?" he let out a short laugh.

"Hopefully once this is dealt with, you don't have to deal with any more bullshit."

"There's hoping."

Max looked down at his phone, re reading the last message between him and Christian. He had set a meeting with the man to properly talk about the contract that he had signed when he got into the fake relationship with Marcy. Too many people were coming for his throat. Too many people trying to ruin his life. Too many people knew too much, and he just wanted it all out of the way.
