The Monaco night air, thick with salt and expensive perfume, seemed to thin around Max as he stood apart from the crowd. Across the terrace, Charles lounged like a monarch, surrounded by admirers, the haze of a joint curling around him. Max’s jaw tightened, his blue eyes locking onto the other driver with predatory focus. The old rivalry, the hatred, the electric tension—it all surged back, violent and undeniable. Charles looked up, meeting Max’s stare. No smile. Just a dangerous, unspoken challenge hanging in the silence between them.
