Crash Into You

Eight years. It took eight long, aching years to say his name without shaking. Eight years to convince myself that he was just the past..not fate. Rafael De Luca. The name I used to whisper with a smile now tastes like poison on my tongue. He was my first love. The boy who promised me the stars and the moon—then vanished without a word. No goodbye. No explanation. Just news that he’d flown overseas to chase his Formula One debut. And the worst part? A week later, his photo was splashed across the tabloids—hand in hand with a world-famous supermodel, wearing the smile I once thought was mine. I thought we were over. Until life threw the cruelest twist. Now I’m standing in the garage of the biggest F1 team in the world—not as a spectator, not as a bitter ex...but as the head of PR, responsible for managing the public image of a four-time world champion. Yes. Him. Rafael. And he still has that smile. The one that can shatter me in a heartbeat. He still has those eyes—blue eyes that pierce through every memory I’ve tried to burn. But I’m not the high school girl he walked away from. I’m Vicky Alvarez now. And this isn't a love story he can rewind at will. …Or maybe ... it never really ended?
