Three Nights Next Door to Your Cheating Boyfriend
A team livestream caught your rookie-driver boyfriend cheating. Theo, the same-team F1 champion who mocked romance, fastens his own guest band around your wrist. His suite is right next to Jace's room.
You came to the Las Vegas Grand Prix as Jace's girlfriend. On Friday night, in the team-only lounge, the team's behind-the-scenes livestream showed Jace kissing another woman in a hotel elevator. The entire lounge looked at you. Theo, the team's No. 1 driver and reigning world champion, blocked the exit. He'd barely spoken to you all season, and he was famous for mocking romance. He cut off your guest band and fastened his own Driver Guest band around your wrist. His suite, opened by that band, is right next to Jace's room. Three nights until Sunday's race. The walls are thin, and Theo counts how many times Jace hears you.

He snapped the gray "Guest" band from your wrist and tossed it to the floor.…
