 Wishing that something would numb the empty feeling inside of me.

One shot.

Two shots.

Three shots.

Whole bottles.

My vision getting hazier with every swallow, the loud music roaring in my ears, making every single nerve of mine stand on edge.

Blood pounding throughout my body as I continued to immerse myself in my surroundings.

I thought about my father’s pleading face as he died. How the color drained out of his face, as he stopped fighting for his life.

And I blamed myself.

I fucking blamed myself for all of this. For the mess I’d created.

There was no coming back from my countless fuck-up’s. I was a fucking monster. I watched my own father die in my arms.

I blinked several times, willing myself to stand up, but I slumped back down in my chair, feeling tears pool in my eyes.

Every memory coming back to haunt me like a form of motherfucking torture.

Just like I knew it would.

I needed it to stop.

I wanted to scream.

To scream until my throat went dry. To scream until my voice-box collapsed on me, and my lungs wouldn’t allow me to scream anymore.

I saw a woman on the other side of the bar lock her eyes with mine. She had jet black hair, big blue eyes, a pointed nose, creamy skin, plump, juicy pink lips that would look good wrapped around my fucking cock. Big thighs, big tits, a big ass. Thick and busty, just how I liked my women.

Maybe fucking would be my only solution right now.

Fucking and forgetting.

She walked over to me, in those tall skyscraper fuck-me high-heels, and she was wearing a tiny outfit, leaving little to the imagination. Just thinking about her in her lacy bra and knickers, wearing just her high-heels…

Was enough to push me over the fucking edge.

“Hey,” she smiled, pouting, playing around with her hair with her finger.

“Hey,” I replied bluntly, looking at her up and down with a predatory regard. My eyes darkening with desire the more I drunk in her big frame, her beautiful fucking face.

“You on your own, too?” she asked, biting her lip.

“What does it look like?” I sneered, folding my arms.

“Want me to keep you company?”

“Look darling, I don’t do small talk,” I snarled. “We both know full well you only came over here for one thing. So how about you quit the angel act and cut to the fucking chase?”

I wrapped my arm around her waist, pulling her closer to me, closing the little space we had between us, and a gasp escaped her lips.

“I fuck hard. Rough. Nasty. Fast,” I rasped against her ear, causing her to shudder, and goosebumps to rise on her skin. Tracing circles on the small of her back, letting her get ready for me. Allowing her skin to burn underneath my touch. “You live round here, darling?”

“Yeah, my apartment is two blocks away,” she moaned.

“You wanna get out of here, then?” I smirked, planting a kiss on her neck.

She gave me a feeble nod, taking my hand in hers, leading me straight out of the club. Hardly able to walk straight after the encounter we’d just had.

Hell, if I’d got her this undone with just a few words, I could only imagine how much she’d moan and scream when we did the real thing.

I continued to walk unsteadily, the alcohol still spinning around my system. As I reached the exit of the club, I was shocked when I saw Fizz standing there with his arms folded, looking at me with a deadly expression on his face.

“What the fuck are you playing at, bro?” Fizz snarled.

“What does it look like? I’m having fun,” I sneered.

Fizz’s eyes darted towards the lady I had hanging on my arm, and he threw me a look of disgust.

 “What do you think you’re playing at? You already have a girlfriend and you’re out here getting hammered, about to fuck another woman? Is one girl not enough for you?” he seethed.

Fizz was right. I did have a woman in my life, but it was a woman I didn’t fucking care for. A woman my father set me up with a long time ago, insisting that it was good for business.

I deserve to die…”Zara continued to scream and sob, rocking her head backwards and forwards manically.I couldn’t bear the pain anymore.I couldn’t bear the heartache anymore.The hurt.The anguish.Knowing that there would be no point in breathing if I didn’t have Zara by my side.The only person I had left who made me feel like my life had a purpose…Who made me feel like I had a reason to keep pushing forward.Who made me feel like I had something to look forward to…My future looked empty without her.Hollow.Like I was trapped in limbo.I didn’t want to live my life like this.I didn’t want to live my life suffering…Constantly hating myself.Despising myself for my fucked-up mistakes.So I did something.I did something I never thought I would do.Shakily, I got to my feet, my whole body convulsing.Trembling into a frenzy.“Shoot me

    Maybe I was stupid…Delusional…A fucking fool…To believe that happily ever after’s existed for bastards like me.For criminals like me.I could feel Evelina’s words burn into the back of my mind, as I remembered her walking in on me fucking a broad the night I shot down Tariq Iqbal.“You bastard,” she whispered coldly, slapping me hard across the face. “You deserve everything that’s coming to you. You killed your father. Don’t you ever fucking forget that. A man like your father dead, and a monster like you alive… It isn’t right. It isn’t fucking right.”I screwed my face, burning. Feeling utterly and completely at loss.“I’ve been dancing with the devil for too long, and in the end, I got burned,” Evelina mourned. “You had your chance with me, Luca. You’re going to die alone. Die miserable. Die with nobody loving you. You push everyone away. Ruin every good thing that happens to you. I’m going to find a man who treats me right, loves me for who I am.

    16LUCAMe and Fizz made our way back home, after going out to eat at a restaurant, making the most of our last days in Italy, before we would go back to England.Fizz threw his jacket to the side, before kicking his legs up, throwing himself backwards onto the sofa, letting out all of his exhaustion.“You go ahead,” he grinned. “I’m going to call my wife and kids. Don’t keep your lady waiting.”I grinned back, before throwing off my own jacket. I couldn’t wait to have Zara in my arms again.“Baby, I’m home!” I called out.But I received no response.I furrowed my eyebrows, a little confused.“She’s probably fallen asleep, or taking a shower,” I murmured to myself.I began trudging up the stairs, yawning, ready to take a bath, after having such a long day.I made my way into my bedroom, ready to make my way into my en-suite.But what I saw…Caused me to screw my face with confusion, wondering what the hell was going on, and who the hell had been in here.My laptop was lying on the mid
