JUDAS

From where we left off in a lesser man there will be an insane dinner drama happening where Franco will reveal that he saw Carlos and Ollie flirt in the luxury boutique and that he got Ollie that red dress which will turn Charles furious and want to tear the kid a new one.

And Franco makes it clear he knows far more than he lets on not just about Carlos but about Charles as well so he shouldn't bark if he's not ready to get bitten. This leaves Charles speechless and visibly terrified as Franco smirks that he has very good Intel.

But where does that Intel come from and what does he know - Carlos pulls him aside to try to figure it out from him but before he could reveal anything to meaningful LEWIS steps in and very smoothly convinces the omega to shut his mouth and he may be granted a treat.

Yes Lewis is present and it is obvious that Franco has stars in his eyes when he looks at the alpha, as cool and calculated he seems his obvious childish crush for the legend is his Achilles heel and he stops but Carlos does find out something significant: who his Intel is

And it's none other than Briatore. It does confuse Carlos as Franco is presently a Williams reserve but Franco sneers that JV would never give him the sort of step up Franco desires even if he plays his cards right. Carlos at first thinks this is merely about a seat

Until Franco's loan out to Alpine happens and soon Franco is engaged to Briatore with a heavily pregnant belly rivaling Logan's at the near same time. Carlos has some bad thoughts but surely he couldn't be..They had a threesome during Carlos' rut, true but he couldn't be...

But he is. Franco had no intention bearing Briatore's ugly kids so he got knocked up intentionally by Carlos, sold off his pregnancy to Briatore as if he was the father. The old fool didn't even hesitate to put a ring on his finger and bag himself a young trophy wife

His seat at Alpine was all but secured, he got blackmail on Carlos bc of course he couldn't bear not telling him smugly and make the alpha squirm knowing he must give Franco free reign if he doesn't want to air out their shared secret even if that would destroy them both.

He only needed to get rid of Jack Doohan to get that seat but that was done and dusted by the time he recovered from labor. But Jack was a spiteful and persistent alpha who wanted to make him pay for the obvious corruption he caused, he hated the little whore more than anything

He even hurt Franco, choked him out in the paddock when the omega got too cocky flaunting how his seeming disadvantage as an omega helped him cheat the system and a stupid spoiled alpha brute like him could never achieve what Franco carved out for himself.

And Franco actually didn't have any easy time by any means as a kid. He had to whore out, had to let himself get used and abused to be where he is now, he was just a spiteful little thing trying to keep himself warm and fed in the garage he rented with his body

Jack is actually shaken by the realization what Franco had to do, he still hates him but he also starts feeling a pang of pity and worry for the omega that was able to survive and pull up such a fortress of determination and confidence out of sheer force

Franco doesn't air out his business at first, he wants people to think everything is going according to his plan at all times but it's far from the truth. Briatore is an abusive pig. If he was rough on jack mentally that is nothing compared to what he puts Franco through daily

Having his supposed child didn't soften Briatore, he instead demanded more. The seat Franco tried to cling onto was slipping from his grip because Briatore found him more useful as a trophy wife than a driver and he hit and forced himself on Franco daily.

Jack saw the marks, the black eye, the fingerprints, the way Franco limped and had a hard time keeping up his mischievous minx act. But Franco didn't need pity from him, Jack wasn't beneficial to his aim to climb up the ladder further. But Carlos was.

Carlos as the GPDA director had power Franco could utilize for his gains and their shared secret son also gave him a levarage. Carlos saw the marks Briatore had left behind as well and wanted to protect Franco even without the blackmail, he couldn't care less about it at that point. He knew that people finding out that Carlos sired another bastard child from some other grid omega will be one drop in the ocean at that point (yeah drama will not stay quiet, his knot-conquest will be revealed) but Briatore will kill Franco if he finds out that that precious alpha boy is not his son but Carlos'.

(People have seen the marks Briatore had left behind on Michael Schumacher once he birthed some other alpha's children while he was still married to him and Carlos didn't want the same fate to befall on Franco)

Carlos offers to help Franco get Briatore banned for life truly this time and help the omega out of his abusive marriage through legal means but Franco refuses, he desperately clings onto what status and power he could manage to scrap together by being Briatore's wife. He just has one request... He needs Carlos to get him pregnant again. Carlos at first wants to refuse but Franco is crying and growling and tearing at his shirt and begging and Carlos feels violently protective over the pitiful omega. Franco explains he can't keep Briatore at bay he, needs another child from Franco but the thought of having his seed take root in his womb makes Franco's skin crawl. He couldn't possibly love anything that would be Briatore's, and he doesn't want to have another abortion, they are nightmares that he always hated going through and haunt him to this day. He wants an innocent child, like their sweet firstborn, Cortez.

Carlos feels so much pity for Franco he gives in and spends Franco's heat with him. It's very bittersweet as Carlos is married and bonded too to someone else but he still treats Franco how he'd treat his beloved wife, how he thinks the boy deserves. It makes Franco, who's used to pain and hurt break down into tears over and over, wishing that Carlos could be his husband and bitterly musing after that if only he was pushing more like Logan did that night, it would be him with Carlos' ring on his finger. Carlos kisses his brow, dismissing the venom the omega spit and promises to protect Franco and their children even if their affair can't go public and Franco feels a little relieved for the first time in a long time. But that relief is short-lived.

Jack Doohan has seen him with Carlos.

He's been following Franco for a while, a sort of sick obsession taking root in his brain that morphs into burning jealousy when he catches Franco in Carlos' arms. Jack doesn't even try to hide once Carlos leaves, he confronts Franco outright like he has every right to be furious with the omega.

Franco gets into a heated argument with Jack who is mad with jealousy but refuses to admit it and he tries blackmailing Franco to get his seat back from him but it's an empty threat and they both know Jack has little to no desire to go back to Alpine, he just wants Franco crying and begging on his knees.

Franco calls him out on his bullshit and their fight gets physical.

Jack goes into rut from Franco's lingering heat pheromones and they have nasty brutal hate sex but he's an inexperienced alpha and loses control, making the fatal mistake of claiming Franco while knotting him against his will. Franco goes through a painful bond break, freed from Briatore's mark and instantly panics because an affair he can hide but the bond break is a sort of visceral pain instantly felt by the alpha too. He was doomed by Jack's clumsy rut and he knew it. Jack is very naive and tries to promise he'll protect and take care of him and their baby while Franco sobs and screams.

But all is too late. He tries hitting Jack, scratching him bloody and trying to get him to fight back, beat him up like before, make it look like he was forced and maybe then Briatore will forgive him but it doesn't work, Jack the fool is utterly in love with him, holding him gently now and Franco is terrified for his life.

His fears were justified, even if Jack insists he's safe with him. Briatore nearly kills both of them once he finds them, of course the man has lackies to do his dirty bidding and packs a gun too, but it's Franco who ends up killing the old alpha in the struggle by slicing his throat with a broken piece of glass. Franco is shaking covered in blood as he calls Carlos for help.

Carlos is the one who takes care of the omega in shock and helps him clean up the mess and this is the time the Sainz mafia comes in handy. He gets Briatore's death dismissed as a simple accident, the story is he was intoxicated, slipped and fell through the glass table (that he threw Franco against) and Franco was not at fault that the glass unfortunately cut his artery.

Jack's injuries were unrelated to the case and he suffered a motorcycle accident not even in the same country according to Carlos' carefully told story to the press. Jack at first wants to argue, claim Franco proudly as his omega and the baby in his belly as his child, give Franco the life he deserves but Carlos breaks his already busted nose further and reminds him Franco had to kill a man because of his stupid selfish mistake and he'll never ever let him near the omega again. Franco appreciates Carlos' anger on his behalf even if he did feel a stupid crush develop towards Jack, the claim ruined it all even if it came out of pure intentions.

Franco gets to live with Carlos and Logan and their children for a little while, more reserved after the tragic death of his husband that the media hounds him over. Franco knows the victim card is something the fans eat up but He's tired of being a victim. The twins Carlos sired are born under Carlos' roof, and Cortez welcomes his little siblings Carmen and Cruz in January of 2026. Franco is content on being a side omega for a while as long as Carlos gives him ample loving but his ambitions leave him restless. He knows Carlos won't divorce Logan for him, and at this point Logan has become such a doting sisterwife that Franco wouldn't even ask him to.

But what better way to break out of the broken widow role than getting a new husband?

He pushes the flirting heavily towards Lewis, his dream alpha, and he can barely believe his luck when Lewis yields and gives in, but not just out of lust. Lewis was fed up in his own world as well and wanted to use Franco as a quick way to fix his problems. After failing to patch up his broken marriage with Nico, then having to put up with the miserable arranged marriage to Charles, and suffer the humiliation of that vicious bitch birthing Carlos' children instead of his, then to add salt to the wound failing horrendously to earn back George's affection and baby trap him, Lewis decides to let out his frustrations on Franco, who's been an eager puppy for him from the start. It reminds him of George's early devotion and he may or may not pretend that it's George that he's fucking when he gets his hands on Franco.

To Lewis it's just a convenient excuse, Franco bearing his kid, to earn that divorce from Charles that Ferrari no longer was able to prevent. Marrying Franco before their alpha son Hector was born was a way to spite George. Lewis couldn't forgive him for how he would rather marry Alex, that lame beta, even after having given birth to twin alpha sons sired by Lewis. George said he doesn't care who the father of his children is anymore he wants to be truly loved and he'd rather get that from someone honest than to waste any more of his love on Lewis who had not an honest loving bone in his body and all of his wives would rather die than marry him again, which was the lowest of blows.

At the time, being a way to soothe Lewis' broken ego and being a trophy wife once more was enough for Franco, but very soon his need to be loved caught up with him. Despite the warnings he thought he could change Lewis but he couldn't, not even after four kids. Lewis neglected him in private and cheated with abandon, even siring another child from Kimi. He sobbed on George's couch watching their children play and telling him he prayed that his children don't end up as heartless as their father. George, who previously despised the little cunt was now consoling him and took it upon himself to beat some sense into Lewis.

Franco does find peace eventually once he divorces Lewis in 2030 without caring about the press, and after a long wait, he gives Jack another shot, which the alpha, now matured, does not waste and gives him the sort of dream life Franco has been fighting for all this time. Jack and Franco will move next to Carlos' & Logan's house in monaco so they can raise their children in basically the same backyard as well, Logan and Franco forming a far tighter friendship than either of them would've thought, which will help once Carlos inevitably has to divorce Logan...
