Pretty Woman Moment

Max Verstappen x wife!Reader

Summary: you have your very own Pretty Woman moment in the glittering shops of Monaco

You take a deep breath of the fresh Monaco air as you walk hand-in-hand with Max down the cobbled streets. He gives your hand a little squeeze and smiles at you. Even after all this time, his smile still makes your heart skip a beat.

You’re both dressed casually — just simple jeans and t-shirts, with caps pulled low over your faces. It’s one of the things you love most about your life here. The two of you can blend in and just be yourselves, without the glare of fame and fortune.

As you pass a small cafe, the smell of freshly brewed coffee wafts out. Your mouth waters.

“I’m dying for an iced coffee,” you say longingly. “Do you mind if we stop for a quick drink?”

Max chuckles. “Of course, schatje. You stay here and keep browsing. I’ll go grab us something.”

He gives you a peck on the cheek before heading into the cafe. You watch him go, your eyes drifting down to admire his cute butt in those jeans. Yup, you’ve definitely still got it bad for him.

Humming to yourself, you continue down the street, peering in shop windows at the latest fashions.

Up ahead you spot the iconic red awnings of Cartier. On a whim, you decide to browse the opulent jewelry shop.

As soon as you enter the store, you can feel the receptionist’s eyes sweep over you, no doubt taking in your casual outfit. Her gaze lingers on your much-loved sneakers. You pretend not to notice as you begin looking at a display of gem-encrusted watches.

Moments later, a saleswoman approaches you. “May I help you find something?” The saleswoman asks in a frosty tone.

You give her a polite smile. “Just looking, thanks.”

The woman’s eyes flick to your sneakers again, and her lips press together in disapproval. Still, she gives a curt nod and stands stiffly nearby like she is waiting for you to leave.

You feel a flare of annoyance at her judgmental attitude, but brush it off. You don’t have anything to prove to her. You know who you are, sneakers and all.

As you admire a display of delicate tennis bracelets, you feel the saleswoman’s eyes on you. She hovers over your shoulder, as if worried you might steal something. You bite back an amused laugh. If only she knew the size of your jewelry collection back home. Max loves spoiling you with extravagant gifts just because.

You wander towards the case of Panthère de Cartier rings, their tiny emerald eyes glinting up at you. As you lean down to admire them, the saleswoman swoops in.

“I’m afraid those particular pieces are off limits to handle without intent to purchase,” she says crisply.

You straighten up slowly. “Of course. My apologies.”

You turn away, irritation prickling. The other salespeople eye you suspiciously too now. Pretentious snobs, you think.

Just then, the glint of your own diamond tennis bracelet catches your eye — the one Max gave you for your anniversary last year. It’s slipped partially down your wrist unnoticed. You nudge it back into place just as the first saleswoman appears at your elbow.

“Excuse me, but I believe you’re attempting to steal that bracelet,” she hisses.

You gape at her. “What? This is mine, I’ve been wearing it since I came in.”

“Likely story,” she snaps. “Jacques, could you please call security?”

A bulky guard steps forward, eyeing you distrustfully. “Let’s just take a look at that bracelet, miss.”

Mortified anger rises in you. “Absolutely not, I don’t need to prove anything to you,” you say heatedly.

The saleswoman’s expression hardens. “If you make a scene, we’ll be forced to restrain you until the police get here.”

Just then, the door opens and Max strides in, caramel-drizzled iced coffee in hand. His eyes instantly take in the situation. He steps forward, eyes blazing.

“What the hell is going on here?” He demands, voice dangerous. You’ve never seen his racing temper directed at you, though you know it lurks beneath his calm demeanor.

“It’s fine, Max, just a misunderstanding-” you start gently.

He silences you with a look, then turns his glare on the cringing salespeople. When he speaks again, his voice is lethally quiet.

“This is my wife, Y/N, and I suggest you treat her with the utmost respect. She is the most important person in my world.” Though his words are soft, they crack sharply like a whip. “Now apologize. Immediately.”

The saleswoman who accused you blanches paper-white. “M-Mr. Verstappen, I’m so sorry, I didn’t realize-”

Max holds up a hand, cutting off her stammering. His sharp features are carved from stone. “Save it. Your behavior was unacceptable. We’ll be taking our business elsewhere and you can be assured that I will be speaking to corporate.”

But the security guard blocks your path. “Just a moment. I still need to verify this bracelet did not come from our store.” He reaches out towards your wrist.

Quick as a flash, Max grabs the man’s arm, halting him. “Don’t touch her,” Max says in a low, dangerous voice. You feel a shiver run down your spine at the ice in his tone.

The security guard tries to yank his arm away, but Max holds firm. “I suggest you let us leave right now, before I call my lawyer.”

He drops the offending arm as the security guard takes several steps back, then takes your hand gently. “Come, schatje. Let’s get you home.”

Once outside, Max halts and turns you gently to face him. His handsome face is creased with concern.

“Are you okay?” He asks, brushing a lock of hair tenderly from your face. “I’m so sorry that happened to you.”

You lean into his touch, letting it soothe away the sting. “I’m okay now that you’re here. But Max … the way she looked at me, treated me like I was garbage just because of what I was wearing …” You trail off, throat tightening.

Max’s jaw tightens, a storm brewing in his beautiful eyes again. “She had no right to talk down to you that way. No one has the right to make assumptions and treat you like anything less than the amazing woman I know you are.”

Despite everything, you feel yourself smile slightly. No one can make you feel better like Max can but furious tremors in his fingers tell you his wrath still simmers below the surface. You squeeze his hand. “I’m okay, really. Don’t let them ruin our day.”

His expression softens as he looks down at you. “Of course. I just can’t stand to see anyone disrespecting you.” He smiles ruefully. “I may have overreacted.”

You laugh. “Just a bit. But it was gallant of you to come to my defense.” You lean up on tiptoes to kiss him sweetly.

Max wraps you in his arms. “I’ll always protect you, Y/N. I love you.”

“And I love you.” You take his hand again. “Come on, let’s go for a walk. I saw the most adorable baby swans in the harbor earlier.”

The tension eases from Max’s shoulders as you stroll together along the glittering marina. You chat and laugh, the unpleasant scene at the jewelry store already forgotten. Because nothing can touch the happiness you’ve found here, in the sun-drenched streets of Monaco, hand-in-hand with the love of your life.

***

The next evening, you and Max stride arm in arm into Cartier, looking every inch the glamorous millionaire couple that you are. You’re dressed in a slinky black gown with diamond earrings while Max cuts a sharp figure in an Armani tuxedo. The salespeople gape as you saunter in, not recognizing you as the girl from yesterday.

You head straight for the saleswoman who accused you of stealing. “Remember me?” You ask breezily.

She flushes, stammering apologies. You silence her with one manicured finger.

“Let’s start fresh, shall we?” You extend a hand. “I’m Y/N.”

“S-Suzanne,” she manages.

“Suzanne, my husband Max and I are looking to make a significant purchase tonight.” You gesture around the lavish store. “You have some beautiful pieces. Why don’t you show us some options?”

“Of course, right this way.” Suzanne leads you to a private viewing room. Hands shaking, she brings out diamond necklaces, tennis bracelets, rings — tens of millions of dollars in jewels laid across velvet.

You and Max pretend to consider each item seriously, before waving it away. “Oh no, that won’t do … this one’s not quite right either …” With each rejection, Suzanne’s smile grows tighter.

Finally you turn to her, feigning disappointment. “Well Suzanne, I’m afraid nothing here has caught my eye. It all seems a bit … subpar.”

She gapes. “S-subpar?”

“Mmhm. I think we’ll try Bulgari next. Their quality is much more superior.” You pause, tapping a finger against your chin thoughtfully.

“You know, now that I’m thinking about it, I realize this just isn’t going to work out between us.” You gesture around the store. “It’s not you, it’s me. I’m sure this is a fine jewelry store for some people with lower standards, but for me ...” You trail off, shaking your head sadly.

Suzanne is white-faced, swallowing hard. “Please, give us another chance. I’m certain we can find something to your satisfaction.”

You pretend to consider it. “Well … I suppose we could take another look.”

For the next hour, Suzanne desperately shows you their most elite pieces, diamond necklaces worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. You and Max have a gleeful time trying them on, admiring yourselves, but ultimately waving each one away.

Finally, after rejecting a spectacular €500,000 art deco diamond choker, you say airily, “You know what, Suzanne? I just don’t think Cartier is right for me. It’s been … educational, but I believe Max and I will be going now.”

As you saunter out, Suzanne calls desperately, “Please come again soon!”

You pause, looking back with a dazzling smile. “I would … but you made a big mistake. Big. Huge.”

And linking your arm through Max’s, you sashay into the balmy Monaco night, leaving the frantic saleswoman behind.

I painstakingly drew this for hours last summer when churches were burning. I know and care for many IRS survivors. Some are really important people in my life. I saw the amount of grief rise up from inside them when news came from Kamloops. According to Wikipedia, there were at least 68 churches who were targeted with arson and vandalism. There are definitely more. This was an unprecedented wave of rage against the Church and its violence on Indigenous peoples.The TRC reported more than 6000 kids died in IRS schools. We will probably never know the real numbers. My dear friend who is a survivor of St-Marc-de-Figuery Residential School told me last summer that when the TRC audiences were about to close, people were basically just beginning to open up. What was recorded was just the surface of the abuse suffered there. Some things witnessed were too difficult to name. The TRC team asked the government to create a special task force on murdered children (in IRS) specifically, because there were too many hints to be just anecdotal, but their request was refused and we never got the state funded research.Schools are closed today and Indigenous families are left with sometimes insurmountable trauma that trickles down generations. But the church is still an active agent of colonization today. They sit on a power so immense we don’t even see its ramifications, especially as non-Indigenous ppl, sometimes completely outsiders to what happens in communities. The influence of the church is still active in protecting abusers, shaming people reclaiming traditional spirituality, colluding money, or refusing to share archives. In Quebec, the Oblats are denying information about their involvement in the disappearance of Innu, Atikamekw, Anishinabe children into the health system during the second half of the 20th century.Some have told me it’s not a settler’s place to speak in this matter. I want to say people’s faith is not my business, but fuck the church! Fuck the pope’s apology! I care for and support every anonymous arson attacker who wanted to avenge the victims of the Catholic Church since Jacques Cartier erected a giant cross in Gaspé in 1534thanks to Albrecht Dürer for the references, and yes I was totally making a nod at one of my fav pieces by @_mazatli_Alsoooo! Shout out to Harsha Walia for speaking out #burnitalldownyou can buy this print on zolamtl.storenvy.com

"L'évadé J. Collingan repris après une chasse à l'homme mouvementée," Montreal-Matin. May 5, 1943. Page 1 & 3. --- J. Colligan, évadé du Palais de Justice, repris après une chasse à l'homme mouvementée -- John Colligan, l'homme aux nombreux alias et aux fréquentes évasions, qui s'est enfui du palais de justice le 20 avril dernier les menottes aux mains, est de nouveau en prison. Il a été capturé de nouveau hier à Côte St-Paul après une chasse à l'homme très mouvementée sur des toits de maisons et des hangars au cours de laquelle les agents provinciaux et municipaux ont risqué leur vie. ---- Les agents n'eurent pas à lutter uniquement contre Colligan mais aussi plusieurs femmes qui leur barrèrent la route et eurent recours à toutes sortes de ruses féminines pour empêcher l'arrestation du filou connu aussi sous les noms de Jack Barne et de Roland Leclerc.

L'arrestation L'arrestation eut lieu à l'arrière de la rue Fulford, environ une demi-heure après que l'alerte fut donnée au directeur adjoint de la su reté provinciale, M. Louis Jargailles. Ce dernier dépêcha sur les lieux le capitaine Albert Marineau, les détectives Florian Langevin et Ro-land Jargailies ainsi que plusieurs agents.

A l'arrivée du capitaine Marineau à 773 rue Fulford, deux femmes lui barrèrent le chemin au pied de l'escalier et voulurent l'empêcher de monter. Elles tentèrent de lui écorcher la visage mais l'officier passa outre et escalada les marches trois à trois.

Elle se déshabille Arrivé au second, le capitaine Marineau constata qu'une femme était en train d'enlever ses vêtements en toute hâte dans la chambre de bain. Il la somma d'ouvrir la porte. Elle lui cria de ne pas entrer car elle était dévêtue. L'officier pénétra quand même dans la pièce juste à temps pour voir Colligan sortir de la maison par un ports de lumière.

Dans une remise Pendant ce temps, la police provinciale avait alerté la police municipale qui avait dépêché une douzaine d'agents sur les lieux. L'on décida de cerner le pâté de maisons contiguës à celle d'ou s'était évadé Coolligan. L'on vit alors le fugitif sauter sur le toit d'un hangar et subséquemment sur le sol pour en suite pénétrer dans une remise à l'arrière ere d'une maison de la rue Fulford.

Le détective Jargailles ne le perdit pas de vue et braquant son revolver sur l'unique issue du hangar, il enjoignit au détective Langevin de pénétrer dans la mansarde et de placer Colligan en état d'arrenstation

Pour reconduire l'évade à la prison de Montréal, l'on prit toutes les précautions nécessaires et deux agents fui placérent des menottes à chacun de ses poignets.

De l'arrivée de la police sur lieux au moment de l'arrestation moins d'une demi-heure s'était écoulée.

La double évasion Colligan, selon son dossier judiciaire, s'était évadé en compagnie d'Emile Bodner. Les deux venaient de quitter la Cour après leur comparution et étaient sur le point de monter bord de la voiture de la prison de Montréal, quand ils trompèrent la vigilance de leurs gardiens, prirent la rue St-Vincent s'enfuirent par une cour conduisant à une cuisine de la Place Jacques-Cartier pour enfin disparaître dans le district du marché Bonsecours. Leurs accusations Bodner était accusé de plusieurs vols, dont l'un 1122 rue Windsor où il aurait vole $260. Colligan devait recevoir sa sentence du juge Cloutier après avoir été trouvé coupable d'avoir vole $276 dans un établissement de la rue St-Catherine ouest,

Legende: John Colligan, l'homme aux nombreux alias, qui s'était enfui le 20 avril dernier les menottes aux mains, avec un autre compagnon.
